Hotels with Breakfast in Yixing

This was my favorite hotel on our ten-day trip around Taihu Lake. It boasts an exquisite, secluded style, emphasizing a return to simplicity without the need for smart technology. There are no TVs in the rooms, and the curtains are all manual, with keyless entry. But every step was filled with breathtaking beauty. The service was exceptional. The housekeeper asked for our arrival time in advance. We parked in the parking lot and took the electric cart up the mountain. However, since my mother had mobility issues, the cart took us directly to the elevator and even assigned us the room closest to the elevator. The housekeepers were incredibly kind and friendly, smiling every time they greeted us. Since we were staying for several days, we decided to skip housekeeping, so we hung a sign saying ”no housekeeping required.” The housekeepers waited at the door until the housekeeper confirmed we needed towels changed and items replenished. They were incredibly attentive and responsible. The afternoon tea was exquisite, and every dessert was delicious. We didn't want to waste any, so we devoured all three desserts each day. The next day, we were too lazy to go downstairs to the restaurant, so the housekeeper even brought them to our room. The room also included tickets to the Yixing Ceramics Museum, which you could spend a whole day exploring. Besides the history of ceramics and collections from different dynasties, the room also boasts a beautiful museum. There are also numerous works and manuscripts by Gu Jingzhou, which are well worth a visit. However, the museum is quite old, and only one side has an elevator. Some sections require walking up and down stairs, making it difficult for those with mobility issues. During osmanthus season, the fragrance of osmanthus fills the air. Nearby, at the entrance to Longbei Mountain, there are dark-colored osmanthus trees, which are incredibly fragrant. Conversely, at the windy Tao Erchang, apart from the UCCA building and a handmade jewelry shop by an independent designer, everything else exudes an internet celebrity vibe and a cheap feel. It took me five minutes to explore. The only downside to the hotel is the small rooms. I think there are 17 rooms, averaging around 40 to 50 square meters, but it certainly didn't feel cramped. Even when the hotel is full, it's still quiet, perhaps influenced by the surroundings, preventing noise. I'll definitely be back.

Fantastic hotel! It made my visit to Yixing extra enjoyable. The room looks exactly like description and very clean. The staff from front desk to housekeeping are very friendly and helpful, makes your feel like home. The resort is huge but the drivers are always there to bring you around to other parts of the property. The bathroom is so clean and smells nice all the time. Beds and pillows are comfortable too. It is really one of the best hotel I have stayed in. Breakfast was delicious and the Chinese restaurant in the main hotel sets very high standard. What a lovely room to go back to after a long and tiring day from 竹海 and 瑶湖小镇. By the way, it’s easy to grab Didi from the resort.

The experience was fantastic—quiet, luxurious, secluded, and elegant, with excellent service to boot. The hotel boasts spacious grounds, making a leisurely stroll around the property feel incredibly relaxing. The rooms are comfortable and provide a great sense of freedom. Plus, it's convenient for visiting nearby attractions. Yixing truly is a wonderful place! There are also plenty of picturesque spots within the hotel for great photos.

The hotel is huge and impressive, with many young and enthusiastic staff. The room is spacious and excellent in every aspect! There are plenty of shuttle buses, and many tickets were provided, which made the kids incredibly happy! I must highly praise the hotel's outdoor swimming pool! We visited on a weekend in early September, and backstroking while looking at the blue sky and white clouds was simply amazing! The water temperature was perfect, not too cold nor too hot, and the kids absolutely loved it! You can also use the pool for free even after checking out! The weather was a bit hot during our two-day stay, but the clouds were incredibly beautiful and stunning!

This entire resort is like a secluded paradise, with absolutely stunning views! From the room amenities to the mini-bar, you can feel the hotel's meticulous attention to detail everywhere. The staff are warm and patient, and the butler's responses were prompt and arrangements thoughtful. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade to a villa, and the whole family had a wonderful vacation. There are so many activities that you'll never get bored staying within the resort. It would be absolutely perfect if the dining options had a wider variety of dishes.

The space of the spring house hidden in the mountains of Yixing is a treasure homestay that has exceeded expectations in recent years. The overall integration of Japanese and new Chinese decorations is a preference at a glance. The design of the Guanyun tatami twin room I stayed in this time was particularly intimate: the entrance was equipped with a double sink, which was very suitable for family travel; the bathroom was scattered with the rest area, the curtain was separated, the space partition was reasonable, and the privacy was full. The housekeeper took the initiative to connect with the group on the day of placing the order, carefully checked the number of occupants, equipped the corresponding toiletries in advance, and the service was warm and heart-warming. I arrived at the homestay late on Friday night, and the housekeeper was still waiting to answer. I helped settle the luggage before leaving with confidence. I was full of security. The next day, the breakfast materials are real, and the small wontons are freshly fragrant and delicious. The whole homestay is surrounded by bamboo sea, and the steps are all scene-taking places. The photos are very popular. The store also offers a free travel experience. From hardware design to soft service, it is really worth going to the special trip and recommending repeatedly.

Unfortunately did not take any photos of the room. But I am impressed with the hotel in terms of amenities and cleanliness. Staff services is great too. Room was big, toilet is heated, shower is clean. Location wise, you will have to take a bus/didi to anywhere you want to go but the basic necessity are around the area, convenient store/food/mall all around 10-15min walk from the hotel

The front desk lady was quite welcoming and patient, but here are some complaints. On our first day, the hotel's cleanliness left much to be desired. First, the tea leaves from the previous guest were still in the teapot, still warm (though we didn't use them, leaving them on the coffee table was a bit unacceptable). Second, the cups in the room hadn't been cleaned, with obvious stains from the previous guest's coffee or tea still dried on the sides (we usually bring our own cups, but we inevitably used them, which was quite disconcerting). I thought they'd be checked and cleaned the next day, but they still weren't. After our two-day stay, the room wasn't even cleaned or replaced after cleaning on the second day. Luckily, we brought our own, otherwise it would have been embarrassing to find out there was no paper when we went to the bathroom. 😅 Since the hotel also caters to restaurants, leaving the windows open after check-in is not recommended. There's a restaurant next door, which is loud with music during the day and smells of cooking smoke. My personal recommendation is that if you're traveling by car to Yixing, choose a hotel close to the city center. Most scenic spots are in the suburbs, and you'll need to take a taxi or drive anyway. There's no need to choose a suburban location for a one-time visit. Eating out is also inconvenient, and you'll usually have to drive over 20 minutes to the city center. The city center is more convenient for those who travel back and forth.

Daytime staff are friendly and happy to help. The location is excellent close to the Railway Station and a stroll to 龙北山 forest park, as well as lots of banks and a nearby side street full of good eateries. I didn't try breakfast. There is one little washing machine and lots of outdoor clothes- hanging space in a courtyard. The third floor smells better and is cleaner than the second (cigarette smoke and stained carpets). After arriving after 9pm, tired and concerned about the smell, aircon stuck at 24°c as a fan and not dehumidifying, and dirty surfaces, I contacted Trip.com, who encouraged me to speak to reception. I was easily upgraded to a better room --- cleaner, smelly better. Trip.com compensated me ~$12 worth Trip coins, which I think was necessary as I was pretty upset. The rest of the trip was fine, I loved spending two days at Liyong Zisha Chahu Bowuguan, the purple sand tea museum about 12km away. It was absolutely wonderful, with DIY zisha pottery experience, tea tastings (three!), xun 埙 playing lesson and touring all around the museum, dragon kiln and artisans' studios. So unforgettable. A translator came in especially for me on a Sunday and spent hours that day and on Monday as well. At 朋美酒店 the cleaning aunties are very good and do the daily clean and refresh, providing an essential service with courtesy.

The original Kaifumen Hotel has been renovated. Due to the newly renovated hotel in the city, the facilities are relatively late and the safety factor is also high (you need to swipe your card to go upstairs, and the food delivery is also done by a robot). The room is all intelligently controlled by Tmall Elf, and the cleaning is also relatively good. Just outside the door is Dingshan Ceramic City, which is the first choice for guests who like purple clay pots.
