Staying at this B&B, I finally understood what it means to 'sleep by the water in Jiangnan' 🛶
“You say spring is not late, and I arrive in true Jiangnan.”
This time in Zhouzhuang, I didn't choose the cookie-cutter hotels. Instead, I stayed at Chanyi, and it truly lives up to its name – full of Zen, instantly bringing a sense of calm. 🍃
🌟 Details that made the experience amazing:
1. **Unbeatable Location**: Right in the heart of the ancient town, just 20 meters from where you get off the car, and super close to the Twin Bridges! The best part is, when you're tired from exploring, you can just pop back to your room and relax. Perfect for lazy travelers.
2. **About the Room**: I highly recommend the riverside balcony room! The room is clean and tidy, and the bedding is incredibly comfortable and luxurious. All the bathroom fixtures are Kohler, which shows great taste. Sitting on the balcony, watching the sculling boats glide by with their gentle creaks, and basking in the sun – I could spend an entire afternoon there. The room has a Japanese-meets-new-Chinese style and is sparkling clean. The bedding is genuinely super comfortable.
3. **Personal Touch**: I have to give a shout-out to the owners! They came out to greet us and even helped us park our car. They not only brought us fruit and pastries but also melon seeds – the orange peel flavored ones were especially delicious. They even added us on WeChat to help with our itinerary, which was a really heartwarming gesture ❤️

A very nice stay. The host is very helpful. The room is as nice as the photo provided. Location is perfect, with the attraction entry gate a few steps away only. The view out from the window is perfect. Everything is just nice.

ntdbmOur stay at Mulan Huayue Inn was absolutely perfect! The inn is located on Zhongshi Street in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, very close to Shen Hall, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. The courtyard is elegant and full of Jiangnan charm, making it a great spot for photos. There are two adorable and friendly cats, Huanhuan and Yingying, wandering around the courtyard – petting them was so therapeutic. The owner was incredibly warm, thoughtful, and responsible. Before our arrival, she sent detailed tips and offered reliable advice for exploring the ancient town and finding good food. She was also very responsive to any requests we had. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was comfortable. Staying right inside the scenic area meant we could enjoy the quiet water town mornings and evenings without the crowds. Zhouzhuang is beautiful, and this inn is definitely the top choice when visiting. We'll be back!

The room was quite clean, and the experience was good. There's a MixC shopping mall across the street, making dining very convenient. It's also not far from Kunshan Ancient Town, about a 15-minute drive. It's in the city center, so it's quite convenient.

Guest UserThis guesthouse is really great! It has its own unique charm, the surroundings are beautiful, and it's super clean and tidy. A shuttle picked us up right at the parking lot, and it's only about a hundred meters from the scenic area entrance, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The guesthouse also has its own restaurant, and the dishes are exquisitely prepared and taste amazing. Highly, highly recommend! 👍👍👍

The owner is friendly and will come to the entrance to pick us up. The hotel location outside has a nice view during night time, The only one , our room located on the ground floor is just in the front passage walkway unexpectedly. The room looked big , and clean for us ok for the value. What you pay for what you get..

I cannot recommend this place enough, like living inside a magical fairytale! Zhouzhuang itself is one of the most beautiful places I've visited, and getting to live in a hotel that looks right out of history but with all modern comforts was such a special experience! The room was spacious and beautiful, with large, comfortable beds, and a nice, big clean bathroom. Outside it was a beautiful courtyard with a large osmanthus tree in full bloom, the scent perfuming the air whenever we left the door open.
The owner, Fei, was super friendly and helpful - we communicated through the hotel's wechat beforehand and she came to meet us at the nearest gate to the ancient town to help guide us through getting tickets, and then helping us carry our luggage to the hotel. On the day we left it was raining, and not only did the hotel staff carry our luggage back outside the town, we were given umbrellas to keep so we wouldn't get wet while waiting for our didi ride.
The hotel itself doesn't serve breakfast, but there are lots of restaurants and little snack shops and juice bars around, so finding delicious things to eat and drink is easy.
We stayed here while heading over to Suzhou to visit the gardens, it's about an hour's taxi drive away. A very immersive cultural experience!
A magical stay all around, I really hope I will be able to come back and visit again one day!

YizhixiaoyiThe weather was really bad, with heavy rain, so there wasn't much of a view from the lake-view room. The room itself was okay, but I really couldn't stand the separate toilet room not having a door... From a design perspective, it would have been entirely possible to include one. So, that's one reason I wouldn't stay here again.
The lobby breakfast area wasn't very big, and the breakfast selection was just average. But none of that matters, the important thing is that the taste was truly awful. Aside from breakfast, I also tried the pasta and Fuzhou fried rice separately... they were both good, but the coffee was also very bland. That's the second reason I wouldn't stay here again.
The kids' play area wasn't large, but there were lots of fun things to do. The children really enjoyed it and spent most of the day happily playing there.

Our high-floor room offered fantastic views of the beautiful city skyline. The hotel's location is excellent, making it easy to walk to Kunshan Grand Theater and the library, which is perfect for a family outing to see a show. It's very family-friendly; the kids loved the swimming pool and the children's play area. The front desk staff were very kind and attentive, especially to us as we were traveling with seniors and children. The breakfast spread was plentiful, and the restaurant by the river had a lovely ambiance. Even though the hotel was very busy during the May Day holiday, the staff worked hard, and we still had a wonderful experience! 👍

Stanley The Travel ManI arrived in pouring rain. I thought I could walk to my hotel but it was impossible in the downpour. I didn’t want to bother any hotel owner. I didn’t and still don’t have an eSIM that can make local call but thanks to Trip.com, there is a link that I could call the owner for free. I didn’t advise the owners my arrival time so they were off running errands. I called the owner to pick me up and thankfully he answered. He was busy but gracious enough to turn around and picked me up. It knew Zhouhuang requires a ticket but I didn’t know that no cars, nor motorcycles, nor bicycles are allowed. Without him I would have arrived the hotel easily.
I always like to meet the owners instead of employees . They were very helpful and answered all my questions. They are honest people who dedicate their blood and sweat to their business. The owner even offered to walk me to the bus stop to Suzhou which was my next destination.
This operates two hotels with 9 in one and 6 in the other. The one that I stayed in with 9 rooms is in a lively and busy area . Just outside the hotel is a restaurant and there are plenty of places to eat. Inside the hotel is a peaceful oasis where you won’t hear any noise. The location is the best. The other hotel is in a quieter neighborhood a few minutes away. Each of the 15 rooms has it’s own personality, is different and has its distinctive decoration. The owners said they decorated them themselves. I love the decoration and especially the lighting.
After you reserve a room, be sure to contact the owner for the exact address in case you want to arrive on your own. I think it is best to request the owner to take you there because he/she will lead you to the ticket booth to buy tickets. There are a number of bridges so heavy big luggages can be a bit of a challenge . If you arrive after 5 pm, you can enter free of charge as no one is there to check your ticket. . But once you are inside, and if you choose to leave the area after 8 or 9 am until 5 pm, you have to pay to come back in. You can buy a one day or in my case 3 days pass. Do check with the owner for up to date information.
The room was quite clean. There were hot water all the time. There were other guests during my stay but they were not noisy at all. I barely heard them. I slept very well during my 3 nights there.
Zhouhuang is really beautiful. There are many canals, bridges, boat rides, good food of all kinds. I had some of the best meals there. In fact , I ate in the same restaurant that serves dumpling twice. One night I had grill (BBQ) meat just outside the entrance for 4 yuans. . There is decent size supermarket just outside the turnstile and not too far away is a much bigger supermarket. It was there where I bought half a Peking duck for only 32 yuans . The seller sliced the meat and separated the meat from the bones. The bones he fried so it was crunchy. It was delicious. There is a theater that offers performances.
The night view is great. If you step out your room, you will be overwhelmed in a good sense by the exciting surroundings.
This hotel definitely is one of the best that I have ever stayed in. Look at the beautiful pictures and find one that you like.
I stayed only 3 nights and one of those days I went to Tongli. In my opinion, one should spend at least 2 to 3 full days in Zhouhuang (and especially this hotel ) savor the ambience. I don’t think Tongli is worth the time because it was twice as expensive and there are not that many canals and boat rides. It is much quieter and has fewer things to see. . The worst is that the sightseeing places require you to show your ticket. After 2 places, I lost mine ticket and I couldn’t get in the rest of the places. It is unnecessary to require proof of entrance because you can’t enter the area without a ticket.
