Hotels With Pools in Jiangsu, China

I saw some negative reviews and was a bit worried, but it turned out to be quite good. The hotel environment is truly beautiful and clean 👍. The hotel breakfast offers a wide variety, but the food itself isn't particularly tasty, which was a little disappointing. I tried the food at the hotel's Haitan Tower, and it was pretty good. I even left a tip, but the service was definitely lacking and needs improvement. No one even escorted us to our table or said 'thank you, please come again' after we paid. The service was just really bad. It felt like, 'eat your food, pay, and then leave on your own.'

If you could only do two things in Yangzhou, they would undoubtedly be 'admiring the gardens' and 'savoring Huaiyang cuisine'. My stay at Yangzhou Yingbin Hotel perfectly blended these two experiences, offering an unexpected feast for both my mind and body. Before checking in, I knew the hotel was located by Slender West Lake, but it wasn't until I truly stepped inside that I understood what 'a new scene with every step' really meant. The hotel itself is an exquisite Chinese-style garden, with pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and ponds artfully arranged. Strolling through the garden in the early morning or evening, sunlight streamed through the carved wooden windows, casting dappled shadows that reflected in the tranquil ponds, while white walls, dark tiles, and lush greenery complemented each other beautifully. Everywhere I looked in the garden was a vivid ink painting of Jiangnan. This immersive garden experience is something that simply visiting a regular attraction can't compare to. If the garden satisfied my eyes, then the hotel's restaurant thoroughly conquered my stomach. The highlight of this culinary journey was here: the morning tea at Quyuan Teahouse lived up to its reputation. In the elegant setting of the tea restaurant, I savored classic hot dried shredded tofu, crab roe soup dumplings, and five-filling buns. The dim sum was meticulously prepared and authentic in taste, making breakfast feel like a special ritual. For lunch and dinner, I tried several famous Huaiyang dishes. The boiled dried shredded tofu was fresh and tender, and the Lion's Head meatball, with its perfect balance of lean and fatty meat, melted in my mouth. Each dish showcased the essence of Huaiyang cuisine's philosophy of 'using local ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship,' and the staff's descriptions of the dishes were professional and appropriate. From the thoughtful service I received during check-in to the warm and attentive shuttle driver, every detail during my stay reflected the hotel's dedication. It's more than just a place to stay; it's a microcosm of Yangzhou culture. For travelers seeking to 'experience local character and savor culture,' this is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

The hotel's location is excellent, right near Slender West Lake and Daming Temple, and Yangzhou Banquet is right next door, which is very convenient. We stayed in a villa, and our room was in the middle of the complex. There's a shuttle service available, and the staff (referred to as 'Radish sisters') would help us call for one. If you're driving, you can even park your car right next to the villa. The villa also has a private hot spring bath, offering great privacy. We had a wonderful time during this trip to Yangzhou!

Room amenities: I came with my parents and child, so I booked two small suites on a mid-to-high floor with executive lounge access. The executive lounge snacks and light dinner options were decent, but the view was truly exceptional. It essentially overlooked the entire city center of Nanjing. The non-scorching winter afternoon sun streaming through the glass windows was incredibly comfortable; I spent almost the entire afternoon there. The staff even brought us freshly made passion fruit and strawberry pudding, which was deliciously sweet and sour. Breakfast was served at the Golden Bay on the first floor. The selection was very rich, and the taste was quite authentic, with hardly any misses. There was an apple, passion fruit, and orange juice blend that felt thoughtfully crafted. The staff were also very attentive, asking for feedback on the hotel, which was a very detailed touch. The room came with a smart toilet, but the seat didn't have a heating function, so it was a bit cold in winter. The hotel itself is an older property, but the facilities feel like they've been renovated; they don't seem outdated at all. I would definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Nanjing city center.

The hotel is located right on a bustling commercial street, so there are plenty of dining options as soon as you step out. The subway station is just a 5-minute walk away, and Shantang Street is also within a 5-minute stroll. The hotel rooms are very cozy, and the service is excellent. Highly recommended!

I've stayed at InterContinental Nanjing quite a few times now, so I consider myself a regular. This time, I want to share my thoughts. The hotel's style is quite different from the InterContinentals in Hangzhou. Nanjing's architectural vibe leans towards old money, giving off a very opulent and luxurious feel. And it's a tall building, which I love since I enjoy staying in high-floor rooms. Looking out over Nanjing from the 65th floor is truly amazing! Plus, the natural light is fantastic; the gentle sunshine really brightens your mood. I really need to commend the hotel's service. My butler, Alice, was incredibly attentive. She proactively asked if I needed room cleaning and how I slept. When I requested some items, Alice was super quick to deliver, and she wasn't stiff or formal like some other hotel butlers – she was very approachable. The doorman at the entrance was also great, kindly asking if I needed help with my luggage to my room and actively opening and closing the car door when I arrived. My only minor complaint is that the hotel pillows were a bit too soft for my liking. I prefer a firmer pillow, so I woke up with a stiff neck this morning. But that's really my fault, as I only realized while packing this morning that the hotel offers a pillow menu. Overall, InterContinental Nanjing maintains a very high standard. Even though it's been open for a while, its quality easily rivals other five-star luxury hotels. I hope the hotel continues its efforts to make guests like us feel right at home.

New hotel, friendly staff but is going to be outdated soon. Bad sound proofing , lots of drunk Chinese people shouting in the corridor at night time. The breakfast variety is so poor for Europeans. Please teach your staff in the restaurant to cook sunny side up eggs and refill the dishes without reminding. Overall, it’s not “real Hilton” experience.

I rarely take the time to write a hotel review. Usually, the hotel for a business trip is chosen by the office, and the person traveling is just informed where to stay, so before this trip, I only knew the city and the hotel's name, without much further research. Later, I discovered how truly unique this place was. Before I even arrived in the city, the hotel called to ask about my arrival method and time, and sent me directions. Upon arrival, I was personally guided to my room, and they even helped me with my luggage. For this price point, I don't think other hotels would offer this level of service. They also provided a complimentary afternoon tea, which was a lovely touch. I stayed for two days, and they thoughtfully asked if I needed housekeeping without me having to remind the staff (as I prefer not to have people enter my room). It's a really great hotel, highly recommended.

Business trip to Xuzhou with foreign colleagues, stayed in Hyatt, reception is very professional and kind, hotel has fantastic view, Breakfast was very good, the chefs made lots of fresh food (they even made homemade “油条”, looks tempting). Services is good, fresh food, coffee can be delivered to your table.

Excellent hotel with great location. Garden is very nice overlooking slender west lake, we made use of package photo shoot that made the trip memorable. Mr Guan, the hotel manager and his colleagues were also very helpful, he helped us recover my daughter’s phone left at the taxi ; overall very good and friendly service. 2 night package was a good choice for my family; gave us sufficient time to enjoy the hotel facilities and its service.
