Inns in Jiangsu, China

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Wanhe Riverview Inn Hotel, made even more special as I checked in on my birthday. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. The staff member handling our check-in was incredibly attentive, warm and genuinely hospitable. He went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met and even anticipated things we had not thought of. The location is truly a standout. It is conveniently close to the vibrant Shantang Old Street, making it easy to explore local food and attractions, yet the hotel itself is tucked away in a peaceful and secluded spot, offering a perfect escape from the bustle. Cleanliness was impeccable. The room was spotless and very well maintained. The overall atmosphere of the hotel felt comfortable and thoughtfully designed. One of my favorite parts of the stay was the stunning room view, which added such a relaxing and scenic touch to our experience. The facilities were also a pleasant surprise, with nice little touches such as the fruit platter that made the stay feel even more welcoming. Overall, I could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

The room is located within the scenic area, right by the river. The owner was super nice, picked us up at the entrance of the scenic area, and even helped with our luggage. The proprietress recommended a great restaurant and a fantastic sightseeing route. We'll definitely stay here again next time. When we left, the proprietress even gave our child some snacks!

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!

Located within the Old East Gate scenic area, this hotel is a traditional residential building from the late Qing Dynasty/early Republic of China. Once you step inside, it's like a hidden gem, absolutely stunning. The room was clean and tidy. Even though it was on the first floor and right next to a narrow alley, the soundproof windows were fantastic, blocking out all the noise. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always ready to answer any questions. Plus, it's super convenient with the De Yun She, Mahua Theater, Lvliu Ju, and Xu Family Duck all within a five-minute walk.

The room decor was quite atmospheric. They personally delivered all our takeout orders to the room, and even provided an umbrella when it rained. It's very close to Humble Administrator's Garden and Suzhou Museum, and Lion Grove Garden is right across the street, making sightseeing very convenient. There are also many restaurants nearby.

Wuxi Nianhua Bay Lianhua Bay Inn Review I stayed at Wuxi Nianhua Bay Lianhua Bay Inn during the cherry blossom season, and my overall experience was great. The inn generously upgraded our room for free, which came with a large balcony overlooking the main street of the scenic area – the view was absolutely fantastic. Upon entering the park, electric carts are available to transport guests and their luggage directly to the inn's doorstep, making the entire process effortless. The inn manager was very kind and even helped us carry our luggage up to the second floor. The room decor was minimalist, and while the facilities weren't brand new, the value for money was perfectly acceptable for the price. The inn boasts an excellent location right on the scenic area's main street. It's a two-minute walk to Nianhua Tower and another two minutes to the performance pool, making it incredibly convenient for catching shows. In fact, it was even more convenient than the Duo Luomi Hotel within the scenic area. However, I did encounter a minor issue: the staff's knowledge about the scenic area's attractions wasn't very detailed. When we asked about the best spots for viewing cherry blossoms, the manager could only give us a general area, not precise directions. On a rainy day, when we inquired about the drone show schedule, they only mentioned a risk of cancellation and advised us to scan a QR code for details. The next day, we asked a different manager about the cherry blossoms in Luming Valley, and they frankly admitted they had never been there and couldn't answer, only suggesting we take the small train. I had assumed the inn could help reserve tickets for the small train, but we were told tickets had to be purchased at the station after 9 AM. We spent two hours enjoying the cherry blossoms first, only to arrive at the station at 9 AM and find ticketing hadn't started yet. The ticket booth didn't open until 10 AM, and tickets weren't actually distributed until 10:30 AM. Thankfully, we eventually got on the small train to Luming Valley, and the experience was surprisingly delightful. It was filled with birdsong and floral fragrance, with very few tourists, allowing us to almost have the entire cherry blossom forest to ourselves. Enjoying the scenery with wind chimes and birdsong created a unique and tranquil atmosphere that you wouldn't find at more popular spots. Overall, the manager's service attitude was good, but their professional knowledge regarding the scenic area's attractions was lacking, which felt a bit confusing. Moreover, most staff members in the scenic area provided imprecise directions. I hope they can improve this through further training. Putting that aside, both the inn and the scenic area are well worth experiencing. The cherry blossoms are breathtaking, and the atmosphere is serene and peaceful. Although I missed the drone show that day, the other live performances were spectacular. The accommodation package included admission to the scenic area, offering excellent value for money. My overall stay was very satisfying.

On my way to university, I was lucky to be able to relax in such a poetic and warm place. From the quaint decorations to the warm lighting, it was all pleasant. The room was clean and tidy, the beds were comfortable and soft, equipped with a dehumidifier, and the northerners could easily stay, giving me a full rest during my tired journey. The service of the inn is even more impeccable. Everyone is warm and friendly. I just bid farewell to my family and feel the warmth of home again. In addition, the surrounding environment of the inn is also very beautiful, with both quiet alleys and convenient commercial streets. In short, this inn was a highlight of my trip and I would not hesitate to recommend it to my friends. I wish you a happy life and all the best!

This inn is in such a beautiful location. I only stayed one night, but definitely want to come back and stay longer. The host was warm and friendly. We connected on WeChat the day before and she provide a waypoint for gps when booking a car. She met up with me in the pedestrian street outside of the town’s gate to guide me in and helped with the luggage. The location is very convenient. This is an ancient town so the street surfaces are stone slabs and uneven cobblestones. But going in is mostly smooth, cross one bridge and the inn is right there, about as close to the entrance and as least hassle as you can get. The waterway in front of the inn is travelled by the row boats whether they’re on the day or evening tour route so there’s plenty to people watch from the balcony. Overall a great place, great host, and highly recommended. Little tip, if you can store luggage at the airport or train station, take only what you need for your stay so you don’t have too much luggage to weigh you down for the trek in and out. The balcony rooms are walkup only.

Very satisfied with a stay, the hotel is a small garden, the environment is very good, the air is very fresh and the scenery is beautiful, staying here for a day without the hotel will not be boring, it is really ten steps! It is strongly recommended that girls who want to take Hanfu photos do not go to the scenic spot to squeeze with others. It is very popular to live here directly. The hotel has a local restaurant and tea room. You can consult the front desk and you can also set a banquet. The lobby can put eight tables. The only downside is that there is no laundry room, and you have to bring enough clothes if you live for a long time in winter. The kittens and big fat goose in the garden are very cute. The smart toilet is the kind of high-end and comfortable, and the bath water pressure is also suitable. Breakfast is fixed, not self-service, is the local characteristics of Daxuan and Yangchun noodles, real materials and full. This time is the off-season, it will appear that the garden is relatively deserted but there is a sense of coolness. I think I will stay here again when I am in a bad mood in the future, and bring a few tea leaves to drink tea in the garden, which will be very pleasant.

This was my first time staying at a guesthouse-style hotel. It's located right on Dongguan Street, making it very convenient for shopping. It rained the day I went, and the lady there even brought an umbrella to pick me up – very thoughtful! The facilities were quite complete, the hotel was clean, and the environment was excellent. The front desk staff were also very welcoming and patiently answered all my questions. Yangzhou specialty souvenir: Tough glutinous rice candy
