SCTan (Malaysia)Our stay at Zhouzhuang Zen Yili was absolutely wonderful—a perfect blend of comfort, warmth, and convenience!
Taxi can dropped us off within 1 minute walking distance away from Zen Yili. Zhouzhuang ancient village entrance is just a few minutes walk from Zen Yili making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing and activities. The peaceful surroundings of the homestay also added to the relaxing vibe.
The hosts, both husband and wife were exceptionally kind and gave us great local tips. They provided us more than enough fresh fruits, tea, biscuits and mineral water. I was surprised also that the room was with full mosquitoes nettings with even anti mosquitoes device provided if needed. During our stay the homestay and its surroundings ware without mosquitoes.
The room was spotless, with fresh linens and a cozy atmosphere. The bathroom was of five star standard for its fittings, and was very well-maintained.
Before we checked out, we were given delicious homemade biscuits out of their hospitality. They also arranged for us a reliable and comfortable pickup after checked out.
For the price, this homestay offered excellent value.
We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to couples, families, or solo travelers looking for a peaceful retreat in Zhouzhuang ancient village.

Our stay here was a delightful surprise! Even before we arrived, the owner proactively sent us directions to the parking lot. Once we parked, they even sent a car to pick us up and take us to the hotel.
The room was even cleaner than I expected. From the room's decor to the courtyard landscape, you could tell the owner put a lot of thought and effort into every detail. The room had a warm, thoughtful touch everywhere: cute cloud pillows on the bedside, and the bedding was incredibly soft and comfortable, ensuring a sound night's sleep. The floor-to-ceiling window featured a raised seating area, and with sunlight filtering through the sheer curtains, it was perfect for playing with the kids or just quietly daydreaming. The air conditioning in the room was excellent, the bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and the hairdryer was powerful – little details that really add to the experience.
The common areas were also very inviting. The small lounge on the first floor had books, tea, and an incredibly well-behaved Shiba Inu. The outdoor courtyard was a hidden gem – surrounded by lush greenery, with banana leaves unfurling, and a misty ambiance that made it feel like a secret garden in Jiangnan. Green vines draped gracefully over the wooden deck, and after the rain, the air was exceptionally fresh, instantly washing away all fatigue.
This guesthouse is truly worth a visit. It was the most comfortable stay I've had in an ancient town. When we left, the owner even drove us back to the parking lot, which was very thoughtful. For anyone visiting Zhouzhuang, I highly recommend choosing this place; you won't be disappointed. We'll definitely stay here again on our next visit!

This guesthouse, set in a traditional 'Sanheyuan' (three-sided courtyard) structure, offered an incredibly authentic and delightful experience. Despite being surrounded by commercial activity, it was a surprisingly quiet and rustic retreat, truly an oasis of calm in the bustling city. The rooms were clean, hygienic, and well-equipped. A major plus was the breakfast provided, and you could also order lunch or dinner at very reasonable prices, with delicious food. Dining outdoors by the river was particularly charming. Even when busy, the owner maintained an excellent, thoughtful demeanor. Traveling with elderly parents, the owner proactively offered pick-up and drop-off services, which was incredibly heartwarming and thoughtful.

I used to go to other ancient towns to play. This time I came to Zhouzhuang to play in a very good weather. I took beautiful photos. The boss was very enthusiastic to bring us luggage and sent me special products. The reception was very thoughtful! ! It is really close to the gate of the scenic spot and the museum. We are also very satisfied with this room! You can see the boat passing by the window, the scenery is very good, like it, this time I am very happy

The boss and his family who changed to live here temporarily in the middle of the night were very enthusiastic. Xixi and Mumu were more enthusiastic and came directly to my room happy and very clingy. The child is very happy and I am happier. It rains and the aunt also helps me to bring the drying clothes in. Thank you.

I arrived at 8 p.m., but they picked me up at the parking lot after I dropped off my taxi, making it a comfortable stay.
It was almost right past the ticket office, which was really convenient if you have a lot of luggage.
The room was spacious and clean, and the terrace offered a beautiful view.
It was hot in the middle of summer, so I couldn't stay outside for long, but I think it would be nice to have tea in the spring and fall.
The air conditioning worked well.
When I took a taxi back to Shanghai, they even took me to the taxi stand, so I was able to enjoy the ride comfortably even in the blazing sun.
This was my second visit to Zhouzhang, but I felt so comfortable and relaxed that I'd like to come back again, alone, and stay a day or two.

We got a room upgrade for free, the owner is a really nice woman, very friendly and helpful. The room is beautiful and near the river, from the window you can see the beautiful view outside. The location of the hotel is also convenient and close to the busy part of the old town, but not too close, so at night you can rest without being disturbed by noises. I recommend this hotel ❤️ all the pictures below i took inside or just in front of the hotel

The location is excellent, just next to Shen Wansan Shuiyu, very close to the entrance of the ancient town. The price is there, and the facilities, sanitation and environment need to be improved. The toilet setting of the single bathroom is not convenient, and the toilet can be sideways. The overall price is better.

Stanley The Travel ManI arrived in pouring rain. I thought I could walk to my hotel but it was impossible in the downpour. I didn’t want to bother any hotel owner. I didn’t and still don’t have an eSIM that can make local call but thanks to Trip.com, there is a link that I could call the owner for free. I didn’t advise the owners my arrival time so they were off running errands. I called the owner to pick me up and thankfully he answered. He was busy but gracious enough to turn around and picked me up. It knew Zhouhuang requires a ticket but I didn’t know that no cars, nor motorcycles, nor bicycles are allowed. Without him I would have arrived the hotel easily.
I always like to meet the owners instead of employees . They were very helpful and answered all my questions. They are honest people who dedicate their blood and sweat to their business. The owner even offered to walk me to the bus stop to Suzhou which was my next destination.
This operates two hotels with 9 in one and 6 in the other. The one that I stayed in with 9 rooms is in a lively and busy area . Just outside the hotel is a restaurant and there are plenty of places to eat. Inside the hotel is a peaceful oasis where you won’t hear any noise. The location is the best. The other hotel is in a quieter neighborhood a few minutes away. Each of the 15 rooms has it’s own personality, is different and has its distinctive decoration. The owners said they decorated them themselves. I love the decoration and especially the lighting.
After you reserve a room, be sure to contact the owner for the exact address in case you want to arrive on your own. I think it is best to request the owner to take you there because he/she will lead you to the ticket booth to buy tickets. There are a number of bridges so heavy big luggages can be a bit of a challenge . If you arrive after 5 pm, you can enter free of charge as no one is there to check your ticket. . But once you are inside, and if you choose to leave the area after 8 or 9 am until 5 pm, you have to pay to come back in. You can buy a one day or in my case 3 days pass. Do check with the owner for up to date information.
The room was quite clean. There were hot water all the time. There were other guests during my stay but they were not noisy at all. I barely heard them. I slept very well during my 3 nights there.
Zhouhuang is really beautiful. There are many canals, bridges, boat rides, good food of all kinds. I had some of the best meals there. In fact , I ate in the same restaurant that serves dumpling twice. One night I had grill (BBQ) meat just outside the entrance for 4 yuans. . There is decent size supermarket just outside the turnstile and not too far away is a much bigger supermarket. It was there where I bought half a Peking duck for only 32 yuans . The seller sliced the meat and separated the meat from the bones. The bones he fried so it was crunchy. It was delicious. There is a theater that offers performances.
The night view is great. If you step out your room, you will be overwhelmed in a good sense by the exciting surroundings.
This hotel definitely is one of the best that I have ever stayed in. Look at the beautiful pictures and find one that you like.
I stayed only 3 nights and one of those days I went to Tongli. In my opinion, one should spend at least 2 to 3 full days in Zhouhuang (and especially this hotel ) savor the ambience. I don’t think Tongli is worth the time because it was twice as expensive and there are not that many canals and boat rides. It is much quieter and has fewer things to see. . The worst is that the sightseeing places require you to show your ticket. After 2 places, I lost mine ticket and I couldn’t get in the rest of the places. It is unnecessary to require proof of entrance because you can’t enter the area without a ticket.

The innkeeper is very welcoming. Most of the rooms in the inn have river views. It is very comfortable to watch the river view from the balcony at night. The room is clean and tidy. Overall, it is not rushed and you can experience the life in the water town.
