Boutique Hotels in Jiangsu, China

"Facilities: The facilities are still up to the standard of a past five-star hotel, generally good. Cleanliness: Very clean and tidy. The couple who clean the rooms are friendly, diligent, and responsible, which is very thoughtful – big thumbs up. Environment: Suzhou garden landscape, full of charm and atmosphere. Service: There were too many people at the front desk, and the service attitude varied. I believe every guest will give a review based on their genuine feelings. However, there were one or two young ladies whose attitude was serious and friendly, and their service was excellent. Initially, the room they assigned us faced the swimming pool and was very noisy. I requested a change, and a good-looking young man handled it swiftly and efficiently. His friendly service attitude made me feel very welcome. He immediately switched our room. I want to give a special shout-out to this young man because he was able to solve the problem without even asking for a good review."

"Choosing this hotel for my Suzhou trip was such a smart move! It's right next to the Master of the Nets Garden, just a few minutes' walk to the entrance, and super close to the subway station, making getting around incredibly convenient. Shiquan Street is right nearby with tons of local Suzhou snacks and dessert shops, so dining and shopping are a breeze. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was soft, and the soundproofing was excellent. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, and check-in was quick. It's a peaceful oasis amidst the hustle and bustle, with a wonderful ambiance. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Suzhou. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the gardens!"

"What a fantastic vacation experience! Over four days and three nights, we got to try out buildings 9, 2, and 8, each with its own advantages. My personal preference, in descending order, is 2 ≥ 9 ≥ 8. First, let's talk about the courtyard room in building 2. What I loved most was waking up to lush greenery right outside my window. I could step into the courtyard in my pajamas and soak in nature. Even when it rained, there was no need to worry about not being able to go out; there were tables and chairs in the courtyard perfect for quietly watching the rain. It truly maximized that relaxed, vacation feel, ideal for unwinding and recharging. The facilities weren't old either; I found them perfectly fine. Next up is the suite in building 9. It's spacious, featuring a living room, bedroom, study, and two bathrooms. The Chinese-style decor felt grand and expansive, and the garden views from the window were also excellent. It would be very comfortable for a family. Since there were only two of us, we didn't need such a large space, which is why I personally preferred building 2, though building 9 was indeed great. Building 8 is the newest and most modern. It offers breakfast (which 2 and 9 don't), and it was quite good. The window seats in the restaurant also boasted amazing views. They even provide complimentary bedtime snacks (again, something 2 and 9 lack) and you can choose hot milk, which was a very thoughtful touch. The room quality was also higher, with Bulgari toiletries, Evian and Nongfu Spring bottled water, and better quality disposable slippers and mattresses. However, my personal priority for a resort hotel is the scenery, so building 8 ranked slightly lower for me. For those who prioritize room quality and service details, this building is definitely worth considering. The overall landscaping and service throughout the hotel grounds were excellent. Before coming, I wondered if people were exaggerating when they said you don't need to leave the hotel for a vacation, but after experiencing it, I realized it's true. Staying at the Yingbinguan is perfect for a low-energy, lazy person like me who doesn't want to wake up early for itineraries or battle crowds at tourist attractions. Beyond the hotel, everyone we encountered in Yangzhou – at attractions, restaurants, and museums – was incredibly nice. Thank you, Yangzhou, for giving us such precious travel memories. We'll definitely be back for another vacation!"

"This hotel, a landmark in Nanjing, boasts breathtaking views from its high-rise location! I stayed in a 69th-floor lake-view room, and the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offered stunning vistas of Xuanwu Lake, Purple Mountain, the Yangtze River, and the city lights. Both the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening were incredibly therapeutic. It's super convenient, just a 1-minute walk to Gulou subway station, and a 5-minute stroll to Xuanwu Lake for a morning run. Ji Ming Temple and Deji Plaza are also very close by. The 50 sqm room is spacious, and the separate large bathtub with city views was perfect for a relaxing soak. The bedding was just right – not too soft, not too firm – and the soundproofing was excellent. Breakfast offered a wide variety, including local Nanjing delicacies like duck blood and vermicelli soup and soup dumplings. The Executive Lounge's afternoon tea had unlimited desserts, hot dishes, and drinks, and the sunset views from there created an amazing atmosphere. Ms. Alice at the front desk provided thoughtful service, proactively suggesting great photo spots and ensuring efficient luggage delivery. This is definitely my top choice for a vacation in Nanjing!"

"Traveling from Nanjing South Railway Station, it's just a few minutes' walk to the hotel. From the moment I stepped in, the front desk gave me a warm welcome. Hui Siying was especially friendly and processed my check-in quickly. The hotel lobby had a cozy ambiance, and my room was well-equipped, clean, and very hygienic. The soundproofing was good, and overall, I was very satisfied with my stay! Five-star rating!"

"I'm reviewing this hotel right after checking out, and the Crowne Plaza Suzhou clearly lives up to the standards of a high-end hotel. Its location is a huge plus – easy to find with convenient transportation, and surrounded by everything you need for sightseeing and dining, saving you a lot of travel hassle. The hotel's ambiance is sophisticated and upscale, with spacious and airy common areas that are clean and well-designed. The landscaping is meticulously maintained, making for a relaxing and un压抑 experience. The cleanliness is exceptionally thorough; the room was deep-cleaned, with no dust accumulation on windowsills or in cabinet crevices, and the bathroom was spotless and dry. The bedding was clean and soft, making me feel completely safe and comfortable during my stay. The service was consistently excellent throughout. Staff members were proactive in greeting guests, check-in was swift, and requests were handled promptly. Everyone was courteous and thoughtful, not just mechanically going through the motions. Service, location, ambiance, and cleanliness all get top marks. I'll definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Suzhou. — Scallop Dolphin"

"Located in the heart of Yaohu Town, Lakeside Mansion was upgraded to a more comfortable room by the front desk manager. Leo provided warm and attentive service, calling to confirm our arrival time before check-in and picking us up after we arrived in the town. He also patiently explained the things to know about visiting Yaohu Town. The hotel's large viewing terrace offers a clear view of the nighttime Dragon Soaring Water Show and fireworks."

"The location is absolutely unbeatable. Yunlong Lake is just a few steps away, literally right next to a 5A scenic area. You can walk out the door and stroll along the lake, enjoying the breeze. It's about a ten-minute walk to Yunlong Mountain and the Han Portrait Stone Art Museum, and Xuzhou Museum isn't far either. No need to rush in the morning, perfect for a relaxed trip. Parking is free for drivers, and there are plenty of spaces, so no worries about finding a spot. The hotel also upgraded our room. The huge floor-to-ceiling window offered a direct view of the entire Yunlong Lake. In the evening, the lake shimmered with golden light during sunset – it was incredibly therapeutic to just sit by the window on the sofa and relax. The bedding was just right, with both soft and firm pillows, so even those who prefer firm pillows can sleep soundly. The bathroom had a wet and dry separation, with both a bathtub and shower. The toiletries had a subtle, high-end scent, not a cheap artificial fragrance. After a day of sightseeing, a bath was perfect for unwinding. The cleanliness was impeccable, with corners and the vanity sparkling. It was a very comfortable stay. Breakfast deserves a special shout-out! It wasn't the usual generic buffet. All the local Xuzhou specialties were available! Freshly fried dough sticks, 'laomo juan sanzi' (pancake rolls with crispy treats), and handmade 'jianbing guozi' (savory crepes) were all there. No need to wake up early and queue for local breakfast outside. The freshly cooked rice noodle station was super popular, and the beef bone broth was incredibly fresh. Western pastries and freshly ground coffee were also available. The hotel's facilities are comprehensive. The constant-temperature indoor pool was super relaxing after a tiring day. The gym had enough equipment. The view from the executive lounge was absolutely stunning; enjoying a drink while looking at the nighttime lights of Yunlong Lake created an amazing ambiance, perfect for couples or friends. The Chinese restaurant served authentic local dishes, with delicious 'digou ji' (pot-stewed chicken) and Huaiyang cuisine. It was great to have the option to dine in the hotel instead of going out. The service was warm and attentive. Check-in at the front desk was quick. We requested a high-floor lake view, and the staff did their best to accommodate. Special thanks to Bree at the front desk; she was very responsive to our needs, and her attention to detail was incredibly thoughtful."
