Homestays in Jiangsu, China

Location and amenities were great but only one big issue I really can't swallow. For the two days that I went out and clicked on the Do Not Disturb tab, both days my room was entered and cleaned up. I called the front desk to clarify if that was routine - the cleaners entering the room even if the DND button was up - and the reply was ”如果旅客不需要打扫卫生可以跟前台说一声我们再通知保洁 (If travellers doesnt require a room makeup, they can inform the front desk and we will inform the cleaners” which I asked then what's the point of installing the DND button and make up room button separately. I am pissed because I trusted that no one was going to enter the room and technically, supposedly could be in contact with my belongings as had my luggage was unpacked and lying around. Now that they breached this trust and while nothing was missing, who can possibly assure that no one touched my things or had strangers entering the room in the process. I will avoid staying here in the future and choose another place that doesn't require me to go that extra step of pressing the DND button AND informing the front desk, which is pure ridiculous.

Staff was extremely helpful and service was prompt. They helped us to carry all our luggages up to the second floor and they were extremely warm while hosting. We booked a family room and the room was very big and very clean, although I felt that the shower/toilet could be brighter as the lights was a little dim, and hoped that it could be more clean. The outside rooms were great though. Heating worked fine and our trip was kept warm throughout. Loved the bathtub and it was most importantly clean. Overall loved our stay and hope to come back again next time.

This is a great Republic of China-era hotel, tucked away in a quiet spot yet still central. The courtyard is very unique, and the hotel's location is excellent. It's about 800 meters from popular attractions like Geyuan Garden, Heyuan Garden, Dongguan Street, Pishi Street, Dongguan Ancient Ferry, and Xing Street – all within easy reach. There are also plenty of dining options; the famous Erchun Fried Rice is right next door, and old brands like Fuchun Teahouse, Maopailou, and Gonghechun are all nearby. It's incredibly convenient for an after-dinner stroll. The service is excellent, and the rooms are clean and hygienic. Located at the entrance of a small alley, it's wonderfully peaceful and beautiful. If time permits, brewing a pot of tea and sitting in the courtyard to soak in the 'slow Yangzhou' vibe would be truly delightful!

Jianyuan Inn in Tongli is a hidden gem! The Jiangnan-style courtyard is incredibly elegant, with white walls, black tiles, green bamboo, and koi fish – every corner is picture-perfect. The room was clean and comfortable, and the bedding was soft. The small study offered a peaceful retreat. The front desk staff were very helpful, providing excellent local tips. The location is perfect, quiet yet close to everything, and within walking distance of the ancient town's core. My experience was fantastic, and I'll definitely stay here again!

What an unique experience! Nothing could be more authentic than that! Our room is on the first floor right by the water. We saw many women rowing the gondola boats and serenading beautiful songs to their passengers. We came in a low season, so there wasn’t that much crowd. We could stroll around leisurely to take in all the beautiful sights that this place offers to us. The home stay is operated by a couples. They are so friendly, kind, and always eager to help out, especially the wife (Ms. Chan). The day when we left, she helped us getting a didi ride which is more cheaper than the one we hailed ourselves. The room we stayed in is very unique, it is not super big, but it is very clean and it has everything we needed for the night. All and all, I would highly recommend this place to my friends and family.

I stayed in a private house with my family, and it was wonderful to have three rooms and a yard. I was particularly impressed by the spaciousness of the rooms and how well they were kept clean. One drawback was that the parking lot was a bit far away, but if you call in advance, a staff member will come and help with valet parking and carry your luggage in a carry-on bag, which was convenient. The location is also right next to Gaewon and a famous street, so I'll definitely book here again next time I visit Yangzhou.

The stay was amazing! The river view inn made it feel very authentic and turned it into a relaxing getaway. Prime location just a walks away from famous streets for that natural getaway, and also major shopping malls. Great amenities and the friendliest staff. The boss and the sweetest cleaning staff made our stay super enjoyable from helping loading our bags to the didi on check-out day, providing us with his very own made, in-depth Suzhou travel guide and also giving us fresh fruit to eat! 100% recommend!!! :)

Fantastic location with parking available. Fuzimiao (Confucius Temple) is just a short walk away, and the area is packed with great food options. Plus, there's a well-stocked convenience store right downstairs for anything you might need. I'd definitely choose this place again on my next visit to Nanjing.

The location is excellent, and the stay was very comfortable. The room was well-heated, I didn't feel cold at all. It was clean and hygienic, and the scent in the courtyard was lovely, making me feel relaxed as soon as I returned. After a long day of sightseeing, you can enjoy a cup of tea; the Biluochun was delicious! I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Suzhou! The resident pet, Huihui, was also very friendly and playful, which made the stay even more enjoyable!

Word of advice for people who didnt know, the hotel is right smack in the middle of non-car access area. After alighting, you should use trip app call function to call the hotel so that they bring a old trolley to pull your luggage for you. It is in a tourism spot so super convenient to eat and shop. But it is a door that is at a side lane, and also that is kept closed at all times, see pic 4. At night, if you are lucky, there are 2 lantern lights lit for you, see pic 5. However, the girls at the lobby are super helpful. They operate the dining area across, so they sometimes disappear from counter. But they are helpful when you ask them things. They even ordered a late night noodles for me when i told them i do not have a ******* app. Lovely stay.
