Ξενοδοχεία Romantic σε Jiangsu, China

The hotel is right on Pingjiang Road. The entrance isn't very obvious, making it a bit hard to find. However, the concierge proactively called us beforehand with the hotel's location and even came out to help with our luggage, which was great. The decor is clearly a thoughtfully designed Republican-era style. The room was spotlessly clean. I initially thought it would be noisy since it's by the road, but they've installed double-paned windows, making it incredibly quiet. The staff were always proactive and helpful with anything we needed, which I was very impressed with. The lobby decor is also quite interesting, and the night view is beautiful. We walked to Humble Administrator's Garden and Lion Grove Garden during the day, which was very convenient. If we have the chance to visit again, we'll definitely choose this place. We originally booked a Republican-style king room, but we really wanted a river view, so the concierge temporarily switched us to a standard room overlooking the river since there were no river-view king rooms available. Highly recommended!

Facilities: The facilities are comprehensive and clean. Perhaps due to the humid weather, the carpet in the hallway had an unpleasant smell. Cleanliness: The cleanliness was good. Environment: There were many people during the holiday exhibition, and parking was not very friendly. Some security personnel outside might have misguided us, making us go in circles just to save themselves trouble, when in fact, we only needed to queue. However, the hotel staff had a very good service attitude and were good at reassuring guests. Service: The hotel staff provided excellent service, check-in was prompt, procedures were quick, and there were small gifts. The hotel offers a great view and is conveniently located within walking distance to the scenic area. The scenic area itself has a pleasant environment, and the overall quality of tourists is high.

We had a lovely two-night stay at Wenlv Gusu Yard Hotel Donghuali and were very satisfied overall. The hotel has great facilities, a wonderful location, and extremely kind staff. We were also generously upgraded, which made the stay even nicer. The location is excellent - right in the middle of Suzhou old town, on the main pedestrian street, close to key shops, restaurants, and tea places. Since cars cannot enter this part of the old town, the nearest drop-off point is about a 3-minute walk away. Despite being so central, the room was very quiet because the windows faced the side/back areas and the courtyard walls helped create a calm atmosphere. Communication before arrival was very clear. We received a helpful message with all the details on how to get there, including the best DiDi drop-off point, check-in information, stay details, and Wi-Fi instructions. Our room was clean, modern, and very cozy, with a thoughtful mix of traditional character and contemporary comfort. While the room was on the smaller side compared with a standard chain hotel, it never felt cramped. The layout was well designed, the natural light made the space feel open, and the overall atmosphere was warm, calm, and intimate - very much in line with the feeling of a boutique stay in a restored old-town building. The room had windows on each side, allowing for good natural light and airflow, as well as blackout curtains. The bed was very comfortable - on the softer side, which we appreciated, but still supportive. The bathroom came with all necessary amenities and products, and, importantly, did not have any stale water smell, which can sometimes be an issue in hotels in China. The bathroom does not have a traditional door, but there is a non-see-through privacy curtain with magnets on the sides, which worked well and was not a problem for us. The room was also very practical: it included complimentary drinks, including soft drinks, tea, and water, a small refrigerator, and international electricity sockets, which was very convenient for foreign travellers. One especially lovely detail was the climbing jasmine just outside the window - when there was a breeze, the scent came into the room, which was beautiful. The hotel also has two small balconies with seating, offering lovely views over the Suzhou skyline and Gusu rooftops - a nice spot for morning coffee or doing some work. The stairs are quite narrow and there is no elevator, but the staff kindly helped us with our suitcases. The pond and terrace area outside was also lovely, although because of some construction work we could not fully enjoy it during our stay. This was not a problem for us. Breakfast was served as a breakfast box with nine small dishes. The staff also kindly made us coffee and provided milk upon request. There was yogurt as well, which was appreciated. Most of all, the staff were extremely kind, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. They helped with luggage, accommodated our breakfast requests, and made us feel very welcome. Overall, this is a lovely boutique hotel for families, friend groups, or solo travellers who enjoy peace and calmness, while still wanting a modern yet traditional stay right in the centre of Suzhou old town. We would happily recommend it!

The room had so much character, you could tell the owner put a lot of thought into every detail. The service was also incredibly attentive; the owner tried their best to accommodate all our requests. Highly recommend! And since it wasn't peak season, the room rate was quite reasonable too.

There are so many great hotels in Wuxi. Having visited with my kids many times and stayed at various five-star hotels, this time we came to tour Taihu Lake. We booked the hotel very late on the day of arrival, and after calling first to inquire about the evening buffet, we finally chose the JW. The room was thoroughly cleaned, and the service was excellent and very prompt (there was a minor issue with the TV, but someone was sent right away to fix it). The hotel is located in a bustling downtown area with a lively atmosphere. Right downstairs is a shopping mall with everything you could possibly need, making it very convenient when traveling with kids. Above all, the night view is unbeatable! Looking out from the 57th floor, the night view of Wuxi is stunning! The dining and other amenities are quite decent—nothing extraordinary, but everything you need is there. And that's more than enough 👍 Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Since we love Wuxi so much and it's very convenient to get here from Shanghai, we will definitely stay at our JW again next time.

When we arrived, the dam had been repaired, and we could see the beautiful view of Tianmu Lake from the hotel door. The hotel housekeeper contacted us in advance, and we stayed in the private soup room and gave us fish head vouchers. For other dishes, we ordered black rice and The small bamboo shoots are quite delicious when cooked, and the experience is still very good!

This resort is a bit old, and the facilities do show their age. However, you can tell it was built to a high standard, with spacious rooms, a separate wet and dry area, double sinks, and a large bathroom with an automatic toilet. The shower stall is an add-on next to the bathtub, and the water pressure is excellent, making for a very comfortable shower. It has all the amenities of a standard hotel, and since it focuses on families, all table corners are child-proofed. Kids' slippers, bathrobes, toothbrushes, and footstools are all provided. The courtyard has a carousel, go-karts, a playground, a mini-train, and even small animals – kids are sure to have a great time. The front desk called before, during, and after check-in to ask about our needs and our stay, promptly resolving any issues. For that, I'm happy to give five stars. Breakfast offered a good variety, though the pastries and baked goods were a bit subpar. There's also a late-night congee served at 8 PM. You can really see the effort put in by the hotel management.

The facilities are exceptionally well-maintained. As a long-standing star-rated hotel, the cleanliness is top-notch, and the service is simply beyond reproach! We were even upgraded to an executive room, making the stay an absolute 10/10 experience~ I must give a huge shout-out to our butler, Regina, for her attentive service. She sent clear instructions right upon check-in, along with various sightseeing itineraries and travel tips for Nanjing. Thumbs up 👍 Absolutely fantastic!

Spent a weekend at the Novotel Suzhou Taihu Hot Spring Hotel and was really impressed by their complete range of facilities. The rooms are spacious and provide a very comfortable stay. There's a great selection of recreational activities, with various hot spring pools and indoor/outdoor swimming pools to choose from. They also have excellent facilities for families, including an indoor play area, kids' water slides, and outdoor adventure activities – truly something for everyone, adults and children alike. The overall environment is clean and tidy. You could easily spend a whole day here without getting bored, making it perfect for a family vacation. The front desk was also very prompt and thorough in resolving any issues.

I used to choose the InterContinental as my first choice in Nanjing—it has a great location. This time, on my way back, I wanted to check out the shopping malls, so I stayed here for one night. It truly lives up to the reputation of the Jinling Hotel. From the bellhop to the front desk, the service was warm and attentive. Although the newly renovated room is not very large, it is quite comfortable. Standing by the window and looking at the city's night view, it felt much more bustling and vibrant than the scenery around Xuanwu Lake. Shopping and dining were extremely convenient.
