Qianshe Mengli Shuixiang Linhe Inn

This is an excellent hotel. The best location for the Zhouzhuang ancient town - with a balcony overlooking the canal and the shortest distances from the North Gate so easy to carry your luggage to the hotel. It’s right in the midst of all the best scenery too. The host is exceptionally helpful and courteous. Service provided to guest is excellent. Highly recommend this hotel.

This was an amazing inn overlooking the canal with beautiful care taken and our host was so kind and helpful. I recommend this place over others because it is very close to the main entrance (Northgate). Only 2 mins away. Also there is a lovely breakfast place with options for meat and vegans a few steps away. I wish i had gone on the boat ride with the singing oarswoman! Next time!

Great place to stay in a water town Highly recommend Room are spacious Balcony is a great and nice place to drink and watch people walking Advantage staying here you have the whole town to yourself before 9am where crowds start coming Even at night it is great to snap pictures without crowd Owner are great and helpful Highly recommend to stay here

The location is fantastic! The owners are very helpful. Everything was perfect!

This lovely traditional hotel is located at the heart of the ancient Zhouzhuang city, but not very far from the city entrance. From the balcony of the room, we could enjoy the superior canal view in the day and night. The room is clean and the hotel people are all kind to us. Though we couldn't speak Chinese well, there was no problem. Only one thing my wife coplained is there is no full-length-mirror in the room.

This inn is in such a beautiful location. I only stayed one night, but definitely want to come back and stay longer. The host was warm and friendly. We connected on WeChat the day before and she provide a waypoint for gps when booking a car. She met up with me in the pedestrian street outside of the town’s gate to guide me in and helped with the luggage. The location is very convenient. This is an ancient town so the street surfaces are stone slabs and uneven cobblestones. But going in is mostly smooth, cross one bridge and the inn is right there, about as close to the entrance and as least hassle as you can get. The waterway in front of the inn is travelled by the row boats whether they’re on the day or evening tour route so there’s plenty to people watch from the balcony. Overall a great place, great host, and highly recommended. Little tip, if you can store luggage at the airport or train station, take only what you need for your stay so you don’t have too much luggage to weigh you down for the trek in and out. The balcony rooms are walkup only.
