"My friend and I came to Wuxi and chose the Junlai Hubin Hotel. The location is excellent, right next to Liyuan Garden, so you can walk there easily.
Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a room on the 9th floor, which offered great views. The overall service was good too. The bedding was a bit soft for my taste, but I personally found it acceptable.
There were several pleasant surprises during our stay:
They gave us Ferris wheel tickets, so we specifically chose to go at sunset. Watching the sun slowly set and the city lights come on was a wonderful experience. It was also the first time my best friend and I had ridden a Ferris wheel together, so it was quite memorable.
We also received tickets for a double-decker Capybara-themed bus tour. The bus drove around Taihu Lake, and the scenery along the way was beautiful – a very interesting experience.
I especially want to praise the hotel's travel photography service! The photographer was incredibly professional and great at guiding us. We were just wearing our casual clothes, but he was excellent at finding angles and using light to get fantastic shots. The editing was also very natural, making us look so good we almost forgot it was us – both authentic and natural, beautiful and slim. We felt like we could look so good in photos! Highly recommend!
Another unexpected surprise was the robot show! There were robots in the hotel dancing to music, performing different routines according to the rhythm of various songs. Their movements were perfectly in sync, which was really impressive. We stood watching for a long time, surrounded by many children and even some foreigners. The atmosphere was fantastic and very entertaining.
However, the hotel restaurant was a bit disappointing. The prices weren't cheap, but the food came out incredibly fast, making us wonder if it was pre-made. The taro puree with sugar was extremely sweet, almost sickly sweet, and the xiaolongbao skins were also too sweet – even for us from the Wu dialect region, who are accustomed to sweet flavors. I'd say it barely passed; I wouldn't recommend eating a full meal at the hotel.
Overall, the hotel's location, service, complimentary perks, and travel photography were all huge pluses, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. My advice for dining would be to find local restaurants with good reputations outside the hotel for a much better experience."
