Zhouzhuang Mailun Academy Homestay Reviews

Our experience at this hotel could not have been better—it was truly beyond our expectations. The location is perfect, nestled in a historic house with sophisticated decor that exudes charm and elegance. The staff went above and beyond to please us, attending to every detail with care. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a delicious afternoon tea, featuring a homemade tiramisu that was absolutely delightful. The staff is well-prepared to receive foreign guests; Miss Yang, in particular, speaks excellent English and is very kind. Overall, we strongly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a memorable and exceptional stay in Zhouzhuang.

If I could give more than 5/5 for this place, I would. Cleanliness, service and cultural vibes are unparalleled. I have been to more than 25 countries and never have I felt so much at home away from home. This is a gem I would highly recommend anyone seeking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. The host and her staff gave us home made bread, breakfast, cakes, tea and artisanal coffee. My 12 year old daughter loved it so much she just wanted to stay indoors! Amazing!!

A family of five booked this place. The three rooms are equivalent to private rooms. It feels good that no one will disturb us. After the renovation, the charm of the original residence is still retained, and the rooms are clean and hygienic. Because it is an old house and it is in a scenic area, the sound insulation is not very good, so the housekeeper thoughtfully provided earplugs. Recommended to travelers who want to have another experience, you will definitely have a different experience.

The accommodation experience at Zhouzhuang Mailun Academy (former residence of Shen Tilan) is impressive. This late Qing Dynasty heritage-protected building enclosed by high walls is carefully decorated in a modern Shanghai-style style, retaining the historical charm while incorporating modern comfort and convenience. The accommodation environment is elegant and peaceful, as if you are in an exquisite Jiangnan water town painting. The B&B has complete internal facilities, the rooms are clean and tidy, and the beds are soft and comfortable, allowing you to have a good night's sleep. Especially the scenery of the B&B, whether taking pictures or relaxing, is very stylish and makes people linger. The afternoon tea and breakfast provided by the B&B are also very delicious. While enjoying the delicious food, you can also feel the unique charm of Zhouzhuang. The environment around Mailun Academy is also very beautiful. You can reach various attractions in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town within walking distance, making it very suitable for family outings or couples' vacations. Staying here, you can not only feel the history and culture of Zhouzhuang, but also enjoy a rare tranquility and leisure. In addition, it was a pleasure to chat with the shop owner and the guy in the shop. Their friendly attitude can quickly break down the barriers between strangers and make communication easy and pleasant. Their smiles, kind words and active participation in topics make people feel at home and comfortable. Whether it is an introduction about local customs and customs, or a sharing of life, work, and dreams, people can gain new insights and inspiration through communication. This kind of collision and fusion of ideas can not only broaden people's thinking, but also enhance mutual understanding. In the fast-paced modern life, people often face various pressures and challenges. Communicating with these friendly and interesting people can help people temporarily forget their worries, relax and enjoy a good time. What a great experience! Will come again next time I have a chance!

The service is very good ~ I also provided a souvenir when I left❤️ I didn’t have the afternoon tea on the first day, and helped pack it for the road the next day) The handmade tiramisu was super delicious 👍 The room was clean and comfortable, even though I was on the road There will be some noise but it will not affect your sleep. Someone will help you bring your luggage into Zhouzhuang District, but it is still recommended to pack your luggage in small bags🧳

In the ancient town of Zhouzhuang, there is a full-style "Mailun Academy". This is a late Qing Dynasty building with a high-walled triple courtyard. It was once the former residence of Shen Tilan, a patriotic democrat and famous educator. The ancient buildings along the river exude a unique style after careful renovation. Living here feels like home, the care taken is considerate, and I feel the surprise beyond the beautiful scenery! The hand-brewed coffee and old white tea are unforgettable, and I look forward to coming back next time!

Shen Tilan's former residence, a treasure B&B in Zhouzhuang, is a quiet corner of the May Day crowd, a perfect blend of history and modernity. The scenery is exquisite and stylish. It's very nice to take pictures. The afternoon tea and breakfast are delicious. The tatami room we stayed in is also very interesting. The owner is very attentive. My wife likes it. I must come here if I live in Zhouzhuang.

This should be the best hotel experience I have had in many, many years, whether for business or travel. Mr. Shen Tilan's former residence is full of Soviet-style architecture and the style of the Republic of China, and the tone is straight forward. Especially when the three rooms upstairs are occupied by the whole family, it feels like being alone in the bustling city and the terrifying flow of people. A peaceful and comfortable world. Exquisite and delicious refreshments and drinks are provided in unlimited quantities, which really makes people feel at home.

Five-star service, great experience, the only regret is that I only booked one night!

The location of the room is very good. It is very convenient in the scenic area. It is a B&B renovated from Shen Tilan's former residence. It is very meticulous in every aspect. There are even disinfectant wipes prepared in the bathroom, which is not found in five-star hotels. The butler's service is very considerate, highly recommended.

The environment and location are quite good. The homestay is clean and sanitary. The housekeeper is very enthusiastic and the meals are very delicious.

The service was very good. The guy helped with the luggage. There were snacks and tea. The breakfast was very rich. The environment was great. It was a former residence. I was very satisfied. They also gave me souvenirs before I left.

I went from Shanghai Disneyland with my sister in the evening. The store manager Xiao Xiong waited for us until after ten o'clock. I was really touched. The hotel environment is warm and quiet, and the experience was great. In the morning, they also provided a loving breakfast and coffee. After breakfast I just read in the hotel lobby and didn’t want to go out to play at all. It was so comfortable. We will come back next time

It's so beautiful. The old mansion is newly maintained. Every corner of the interior surprised me. It's full of book smell. The room is clean and comfortable. We drank afternoon tea slowly and read books at the B&B for the entire afternoon. I was really satisfied. We received a welcome guest when we checked in. Fruit, coffee, tea, afternoon tea, red wine, coconut chicken soup, breakfast, souvenirs. Thank you Brother Bear for your warm hospitality, helping us pick up and carry our luggage, introducing and leading us to the restaurant, the most beautiful B&B.
