Homestays in Jiangsu, China

This was our first time visiting with our child, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was incredibly attentive right from the moment we walked in. The 24-hour free shuttle service was a huge plus, always available on call. Our room was right inside the zoo, allowing us to interact with the gentle and friendly animals. The hotel's front desk service was excellent. The complimentary 'Buddy Travel Photography' was a delightful bonus. Although we had to pay for additional photos, it was much more cost-effective than hiring an outside photographer. The zoo's natural setting is truly perfect for children's photos. The photographers were great at engaging with the kids, and we were very happy with the pictures. All in all, it was a very enjoyable trip!

I booked this place after seeing the great reviews on Trip.com, and it really lived up to them. It's super close to the ancient town's archway ticket gate, so it was quite easy to find after getting dropped off by taxi. The soundproofing is excellent; it was very quiet at night, and I slept really well. The room was also very spacious, and it was lovely to relax on the small balcony in the afternoon with some tea and sunshine. The owners, a couple, were incredibly kind. They helped us with our luggage both when we arrived and when we left, and even gave me a bag of local specialties. Their dog is adorable too! I highly recommend staying here when you visit Zhouzhuang.

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!

This is my second stay here, and it's absolutely fantastic! The room facilities are excellent, and the bathroom is great with 24-hour hot water. The TV has a streaming service with membership, so you can watch any movie or show you like, and screen mirroring from your phone is super convenient. There's also a mini-fridge in the room, which is a lifesaver for anyone who loves cold drinks or has a small appetite – you can store leftovers! Plus, the front desk has a microwave available, which is a huge bonus. The location is amazing with tons of great food nearby. You have to try Shenyang Chicken Rack (ask for the vinegar-splashed version!) and Tai Ben Niu (literally a few steps away). There's also Cha Yan Yue Se and Yogourt Family (you can order delivery or walk there, it's not far). It's very close to the subway station, making it easy to get anywhere, and taxis are cheap too. Highly recommend!

This mansion was built in the third year of Guangxu (1877) by Zhang Bingyan, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty who served as the prefect of Lianzhou and Zhaoqing in Guangdong. The name of the mansion comes from the idiom 'bing ou xue wan' (ice bowl and snow cup). The architecture is laid out along a central axis, forming a seven-courtyard complex. It once housed a printing workshop, storing engraved plates such as those for the 'Xiao Juan You Ge Fa Tie' calligraphy collection.

Location: The location is absolutely fantastic! The subway is super convenient right outside the hotel. The closest exit is Shanghai Road Exit 6b, and it's just a two or three-minute walk. There are also lots of great food options downstairs, making it incredibly easy to get to attractions. Plus, many delivery services are available. Room Amenities: It's very clean, truly spotless!!! No strange hairs, no yellowed bed sheets, and no odor in the bathroom. A germaphobe's dream. The only minor thing is that water tends to get tracked out of the bathroom easily; perhaps a bath mat could be added. Next time I visit Nanjing, I'm definitely booking a room with a window! I forgot to take pictures of the room, but it looks exactly like the promotional photos. I just don't have a good sense of square footage, so I was a bit surprised by the size when I saw it in person, but it's still perfectly comfortable for one person. Service: Both the owner and the cleaning staff are incredibly warm, friendly, and dedicated!

This homestay left a deep impression on me. The environment is clean and tidy, the room is spotless, and the stay is very safe. There is an elegant teahouse in the public area, and there is a small tea in the afternoon, which has a special flavor. The boss is particularly enthusiastic, not only taking the initiative to help parking, but also enthusiastically introducing the surrounding attractions, so that the journey feels warm. The overall experience far exceeds expectations and is a recommended choice for staying.

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.

We planned a holiday trip to Suzhou with our baby this May, making it his first ever travel experience. Pingjiang Road was our top choice for accommodation, and this guesthouse popped up on Ctrip's app, looking great, so I booked it. The actual experience was truly fantastic. From the subway station, I called the number sent by Ctrip via text to arrange a pick-up. After getting off the subway at Xiangmen Station (Line 1), Exit 3, the shuttle bus was already waiting across the road. We enjoyed the scenery on the shuttle for about 5 minutes before arriving at the guesthouse. There's a doorbell at the main gate, and it opens automatically with a press. The guesthouse is decorated in a New Chinese style. Upon check-in, I saw guests in Hanfu taking artistic photos, giving me the illusion of stepping back into ancient times, which immediately melted away much of my travel fatigue. The front desk staff were warm, meticulous, and thoughtful. The room facilities were complete, the environment was clean, and all toiletries and daily necessities were provided. There were free drinks in the fridge, and shortly after checking in, a fruit plate was delivered. In the evening, they even offered tremella soup, which was much more considerate than typical hotels. Breakfast the next day was delivered to our door promptly as requested, and the portion was generous, suitable for those with a big appetite. We even received a bag of snacks upon check-out. I'd love to stay at this guesthouse again next time I visit Suzhou, and I'll definitely recommend it to my friends.
