Homestays in Jiangsu, China

Booked the 'Dream Island Luxury Treehouse' for the red panda interaction, and checked in just in time for the animal interaction session. As soon as we entered the room, the red pandas were already there! It was a special experience staying in the zoo. A big thank you to the zookeeper on the morning of the 9th; it was truly a surprise wake-up call! I had mistakenly thought the morning interaction was at 8:30 AM, but the red pandas started at 8:00 AM. Since I hadn't woken my child up yet, the zookeeper thoughtfully knocked on our door, otherwise, we would have missed it. After entering the room, they patiently waited for my child to wake up and interact for quite a while. Besides the room, where you can interact with red pandas, lemurs, kinkajous, and capybaras, the animals in the walking area also offer close-up interactions. The self-drive area was especially unique, with animals chasing our car for food – the experience was fantastic! The only downside was the shuttle service, which was inflexible and rigid. On the evening of the 8th, we took the shuttle to the front desk to go eat outside the park. The shuttle driver then offered to drop us off closer to Tianma Yuhu so we could walk the rest of the way. However, on the evening of the 9th, when we wanted to take the shuttle from Dream Island Station to an area near Tianma Yuhu, the driver absolutely refused to stop, insisting they could only go from the front desk to the station. So inflexible! I just want to say that for a hotel costing over 2,000 a night, there was no service whatsoever, it felt like they just wanted to make money and push guests to spend extra on sightseeing cars or rent electric vehicles! No one even offered to help with luggage at the main entrance of the hotel! All in all, aside from the poor service, the overall experience of playing with the animals was excellent.

Perfect location, lovely hosts, beautiful room with vintage furniture and super soft blanket! Very authentic. During the day time it’s super loud because of the amount of tourists, but staying in this place gives you unique opportunity to explain the town in the very early morning or very late evening (the lights switch off at 23:00). The room can seem small, but it’s old town, it can’t be different:) Unfortunately there was no tea provided, that’s sad for tea-famous country, maybe should be improved. Other than that – my stay was amazing☺️

This is a great Republic of China-era hotel, tucked away in a quiet spot yet still central. The courtyard is very unique, and the hotel's location is excellent. It's about 800 meters from popular attractions like Geyuan Garden, Heyuan Garden, Dongguan Street, Pishi Street, Dongguan Ancient Ferry, and Xing Street – all within easy reach. There are also plenty of dining options; the famous Erchun Fried Rice is right next door, and old brands like Fuchun Teahouse, Maopailou, and Gonghechun are all nearby. It's incredibly convenient for an after-dinner stroll. The service is excellent, and the rooms are clean and hygienic. Located at the entrance of a small alley, it's wonderfully peaceful and beautiful. If time permits, brewing a pot of tea and sitting in the courtyard to soak in the 'slow Yangzhou' vibe would be truly delightful!

The staff who assisted me with the check-in was so helpful. She was kind and very responsive. She’s the best. What I love about this hotel is that it is very comfortable and clean. They clean the room every day. They also have separate shower and toilet areas. Additionally, I was able to wash my clothes because they have a washer and dryer. It was a very comfortable and cozy room. I would love to stay here again if I have the chance to visit Nanjing.

The B&B's location is fantastic, within walking distance of Dongguan Street and Pishi Street. We passed by numerous national, provincial, and city-level protected historical sites, and the B&B itself is one of them – what a privilege to stay in a salt commissioner's former residence! Despite being in a bustling area, the hotel itself is quite peaceful, free from tourist noise. The small courtyard is lovely, perfect for a large family outing, where you can book two rooms and share a private courtyard. Breakfast is served at a neighboring partner restaurant with beautiful garden scenery, though it was a bit crowded during the Qingming Festival. The B&B's service was impeccable; they provided a special children's toiletries kit, and we even received Yangzhou University yogurt upon check-in. Every staff member was incredibly friendly, and they even helped us pack items we'd forgotten when we checked out.

Booked this for my parents. They couldn't find the entrance when they arrived downstairs, so they called the owner, who immediately came down to pick them up without a second thought. The service was excellent. The room was very spacious, which is great for a bustling area like Xinjiekou. The air conditioning and hot water facilities were good, and the location was fantastic, making it easy to get around. They had a very comfortable stay.

Who knows the family! I didn't expect the scenic homestay, but I was surprised by this one! 👉 Health is really amazing! The floor is not sticky with bare feet, the bedding is like just sunbathing, there is no mold in the corner of the bathroom, obsessive-compulsive disorder is a satisfying ～, 💖 The boss is super real, watching me bring the baby and specially changed the thick mattress. There are small daisys in the yard. In the morning, the window is opened to see the mountain view. The price is full! , ⚠️ Small disadvantage: The location is in the alley, you have to drive slowly to find it. But it takes 5 minutes to walk to the entrance of the scenic spot, and the flaws are not concealed! , I really press Amway to the treasures who are pursuing cleanliness, come to Huaguoshan to close their eyes and rush this home! I have lived and said yes ～

The hotel is not bad, it’s not very close to metro, but it’s okay. Room is nice and big, but a bit dirty in some places. Unfortunately, there was no washing powder in the room, and I was told to go and buy it. The hotel provides breakfast, but it’s in the neighbourhood building and the breakfast itself was with quite a modest choice

The inn located inside one lanza just neside the canal. It takes you no time to go any places of the town. It's just nearby the three bridges where at night the light is beautiful. The plus of the in is that Jack, the owner, he gave me a great support when I stay there. Maybe he's the only in the town can speak English that made me very calm when arrived. He's also very helpful with his map on which he draw a route recommended. This is also the only one does this since I had been in 2 others old town before but none of them have a map for the guest 😞. Very recommend the inn. And Jack! Pluss my room is very beautiful & spacious with a tea table beside the big windows looking to the tiny & cute gate of the house.

Absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful boutique hotel in Suzhou. The interior design is stunning — a perfect blend of elegant classic Chinese furniture with modern room comfort. Every corner of the hotel feels artistic, warm, and full of character. The room was very clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The location is also excellent, especially for exploring the charming Pingjiang Road area. What made the experience even more memorable was the outstanding service. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially the female staff members who were exceptionally warm, attentive, and welcoming throughout our stay. They made us feel truly cared for. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique boutique hotel experience with beautiful aesthetics and excellent hospitality in Suzhou
