Homestays in Jiangsu, China

My daughter, son, and I stayed in the family room. We were very satisfied; both the exterior and interior were very unique, and the room was spotlessly clean. It had a wonderful charm. There was also a large bathtub, equipped with a bath liner, which was very hygienic. The only drawback was that the shower area wasn't private enough, which is something that could be improved for guests' privacy, even among family. Also, when checking in, it would be helpful to remind guests if they haven't purchased breakfast and ask if they'd like to, just to refine the service a bit more. However, overall, we were very satisfied. They proactively asked if I had a car and if I needed a parking voucher, and they reimbursed my parking fee. Very good indeed, and the tall lady working there had excellent service attitude.

This is the first hotel I've actively reviewed after getting home, because the experience was just fantastic. I stumbled upon this hotel two years ago and finally made it here. It was super clean, and they thoughtfully provided snacks. My child loved sleeping in their little round bed. The bathroom and toilet were separate, which was great. The location is right in the heart of the pedestrian zone. I booked a bit late, so we only got one ground-floor room for May 4th. We specifically chose the Dreamland Treehouse, drawn by the red pandas. The animals in this accommodation area include red pandas, ring-tailed lemurs, capybaras, and one shy animal that hides from the light, which I didn't get to see. You can pet and feed them all freely – the experience was super cool! The complimentary tickets offered unlimited park entry. We went out for dinner and didn't get back until after 11 PM, but the hotel staff were available 24/7 to escort us right to our door. The night view of the park was also beautiful! We spent two days at the zoo. Definitely rent a car first to feed the animals in the vehicle zone. If it's a holiday, make sure to be in the first group to enter, otherwise, the animals at the front will already be full. Luckily, there are large animals like yaks and camels that eat continuously further in. For the Ice and Snow Park, if you plan on using the big slides in the ice zone, it's best to bring snow pants. We were well-prepared and didn't get cold; other areas of the Ice and Snow Park don't require them. Time was a bit tight, and there were a few regrets – we lost an umbrella in the park, my child's hat went missing, we forgot to take the large tote bag provided by the hotel, and we didn't finish the hairpin-for-canvas-bag activity! But our mood was still wonderful! Absolutely loved the photos taken by Badi Travel Photography!

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!

This is my second stay here, and it's absolutely fantastic! The room facilities are excellent, and the bathroom is great with 24-hour hot water. The TV has a streaming service with membership, so you can watch any movie or show you like, and screen mirroring from your phone is super convenient. There's also a mini-fridge in the room, which is a lifesaver for anyone who loves cold drinks or has a small appetite – you can store leftovers! Plus, the front desk has a microwave available, which is a huge bonus. The location is amazing with tons of great food nearby. You have to try Shenyang Chicken Rack (ask for the vinegar-splashed version!) and Tai Ben Niu (literally a few steps away). There's also Cha Yan Yue Se and Yogourt Family (you can order delivery or walk there, it's not far). It's very close to the subway station, making it easy to get anywhere, and taxis are cheap too. Highly recommend!

Fantastic! This is by far the most satisfying hotel I've stayed in during my recent travels. It truly enhanced my Yangzhou trip. The hotel's common areas are very distinctive, and our room had a small courtyard outside. It was incredibly comfortable to sit there, soak up the sun, chat, and have a drink. The service was also excellent. They upgraded our room and even gave us local yogurt from Yangzhou University upon arrival. When we checked out, they gave us an aromatherapy sachet as a souvenir. Special thanks to the front desk lady who helped me bring my takeout to the room late at night. She was so sweet and very nice. The breakfast was delicious too, with a wide variety of options. It was a great way to experience Yangzhou's morning tea culture. I was initially worried about soundproofing, but it turned out to be fine. My husband and I both slept very well. The only regret is that we didn't have time to enjoy the complimentary afternoon tea. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Yangzhou!

Solo traveler's dream! This room is so spacious, you could run laps in it. As a solo guest, I felt incredibly safe and secure. The subway station is so close you can hear the announcements, and downstairs there are so many food stalls it's hard to choose! Plus, the 24-hour convenience store is a lifesaver. Best of all, it's super close to the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so getting to appointments is a breeze. The location is absolutely unbeatable!

This homestay left a deep impression on me. The environment is clean and tidy, the room is spotless, and the stay is very safe. There is an elegant teahouse in the public area, and there is a small tea in the afternoon, which has a special flavor. The boss is particularly enthusiastic, not only taking the initiative to help parking, but also enthusiastically introducing the surrounding attractions, so that the journey feels warm. The overall experience far exceeds expectations and is a recommended choice for staying.

Cleaning service should be improved. When you arrive in the room it is clear that they do not deep clean between one client and the other, cause the floors are not clean, there is dust, spider webs and there is heavy dirt in the corners of the room and behind the bathroom. Prp: the bed of the room I got was very comfy and soft. The room had a closet to store my clothes, and a big desk that was very convenient for me. The area around the building is very lively with a lot of restaurants and it's quite near the subway and train station (walking distance around 10-15 min). Cons:They should decide if they want you to provide an apartment or hotel service, they are not very clear what their aim is since they don't provide hotel service for short stays (like daily cleaning, they only take the rubbish but don't cleam bathroom and floors) but not even apartment service for longer stays (such as dish soap or a pot to cook, or things to clean the apartment on your own). They provide kitchen and washing machine with no cleaning products or kitchen appliances, not even soap to wash the mugs they provide (that were dirty). The people who work at the reception are friendly but completely disorganised. The first day I was locked out three times from my room cause they could not provide me with a proper keycode and finally gave me a key which I had to sit on the floor to open each time cause it was the emergency key of the electronic dial thing that there is on the door. One day I came back and the cleaning lady took out my electricity card even if I had food in the fridge that could have gone bad. They said that I should not use electricity and the A/C too much otherwise I should have paid more. They never stated this nor on the website or in person. After not providing me with good service, theh repeatedly asked me to give them good reviews and send them a screenshot of a 5 stars review, instead of asking me how to improve their service. Overall, when I booked the price was worth it but I would not book it again now that the price is more expensive.

I was very satisfied! I traveled to Tongli by myself, and the owner sent a very detailed guide. There was even a video demonstrating how to use the water heater in the room. They also recommended many great places to eat nearby and provided a map of Tongli Ancient Town. The service was incredibly thoughtful. The guesthouse is also located in the heart of Tongli Ancient Town, very close to the Three Bridges scenic area and many restaurants. Since the stone paths inside can be difficult to walk on, the owner even drove to pick me up at the entrance of the ancient town, which was fantastic and very considerate! 👍 Overall, I highly recommend it. Here's a money-saving tip: if you're staying for two days, you can enter the ancient town after 5 PM to get in for free, then explore the scenic area the next day. 🤫
