This was my favorite hotel on our ten-day trip around Taihu Lake. It boasts an exquisite, secluded style, emphasizing a return to simplicity without the need for smart technology. There are no TVs in the rooms, and the curtains are all manual, with keyless entry. But every step was filled with breathtaking beauty. The service was exceptional. The housekeeper asked for our arrival time in advance. We parked in the parking lot and took the electric cart up the mountain. However, since my mother had mobility issues, the cart took us directly to the elevator and even assigned us the room closest to the elevator. The housekeepers were incredibly kind and friendly, smiling every time they greeted us. Since we were staying for several days, we decided to skip housekeeping, so we hung a sign saying ”no housekeeping required.” The housekeepers waited at the door until the housekeeper confirmed we needed towels changed and items replenished. They were incredibly attentive and responsible. The afternoon tea was exquisite, and every dessert was delicious. We didn't want to waste any, so we devoured all three desserts each day. The next day, we were too lazy to go downstairs to the restaurant, so the housekeeper even brought them to our room. The room also included tickets to the Yixing Ceramics Museum, which you could spend a whole day exploring. Besides the history of ceramics and collections from different dynasties, the room also boasts a beautiful museum. There are also numerous works and manuscripts by Gu Jingzhou, which are well worth a visit. However, the museum is quite old, and only one side has an elevator. Some sections require walking up and down stairs, making it difficult for those with mobility issues. During osmanthus season, the fragrance of osmanthus fills the air. Nearby, at the entrance to Longbei Mountain, there are dark-colored osmanthus trees, which are incredibly fragrant. Conversely, at the windy Tao Erchang, apart from the UCCA building and a handmade jewelry shop by an independent designer, everything else exudes an internet celebrity vibe and a cheap feel. It took me five minutes to explore. The only downside to the hotel is the small rooms. I think there are 17 rooms, averaging around 40 to 50 square meters, but it certainly didn't feel cramped. Even when the hotel is full, it's still quiet, perhaps influenced by the surroundings, preventing noise. I'll definitely be back.

This time, I came to a resort hotel deep in the mountains with my family. The environment is so beautiful, like a paradise. I especially like the landscaping design and layout here. It seems that every flower is planted in the right place, elegant but not gaudy. Each pool is a different view. Although I didn't see the blooming irises, it was not easy to appreciate five colors of irises at the same time.
This is a hotel that is low-key and luxurious in terms of decoration style and garden design, which left a deep impression on me.

Guest UserFive-star review! Yixing Kiln Resort is truly unique, with a strong purple clay culture atmosphere. Yueyue's service was attentive and thoughtful, making for a great experience. The guest rooms are bright and clean. The shuttle bus to and from the scenic area is very convenient, and the breakfast is rich and varied. You can even try pottery making in the purple clay experience classroom. The environment is quiet and comfortable – it’s a top choice for a short getaway and offers excellent value for money!
The hotel is luxurious, and the rooms are incredibly spacious. It's the most comfortable triple room I've ever stayed in, perfect for traveling with a child. Every corner offers a beautiful view, great for photos. There's a wide variety of activities to choose from. The dedicated shuttle service to Yaohu Town is very convenient. It was too hot to explore the town during the day in summer, so we only rode the small train, but the evening water show and fireworks display were definitely worth seeing.

Because we had children, we were given a free upgrade to suites for both rooms. The hotel was exceptional in every way, including free breakfast and a hot spring bath. The staff were incredibly welcoming, especially the front desk lady, Ms. Shen, who even gave us a small gift before leaving. There's a river trekking area not far from the hotel entrance, so afterward, we could return to the hotel and continue our trip with the kids to the hot springs, swim, and more. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant, which was delicious and reasonably priced. A perfect choice for summer water activities with kids.

Guest UserI took advantage of the National Day holiday to visit Yixing and chose the second most popular hotel in Yixing at the time. I was pleasantly surprised at every turn.
Even before checking in, the butler, Gao Yuan, thoughtfully contacted me about my check-in time and other details, recommending various member activities within the hotel. He was always responsive and provided excellent service. I even tried the hotel's boat tour and travel photography services – everything was perfectly arranged.
The area around the hotel is like a mini-Nianhua Bay, with restaurants and attractions all within easy reach. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with stunning views at every turn.
The room was fully equipped with thoughtful details: the bed was height-adjustable and offered massage; the bathtub had disposable liners and bath sponges; there was an instant hot water dispenser; and the complimentary eco-friendly tote bag was perfect for photos.
…Everything here was convenient and cozy. I really loved this hotel and will definitely stay here again.

Guest UserThe welcome fruit was a nice touch. All the hotel staff were very friendly.
Our butler, Lisa, gave us some great tips for exploring, and we really appreciated her thoughtful care.
The location is excellent, right in the town center, so it was easy to pop back and rest when we got tired from walking around.
There's a dedicated hotel shuttle service. I used it once, departing from the hotel, and had to wait a bit in line.
The duvet felt like a winter one? I set the A/C to 22 degrees, but it still got a bit warm in the middle of the night. I didn't feel comfortable asking the front desk for a thinner blanket (and wasn't sure if they even had one).
Unfortunately, we didn't get to use the complimentary photography voucher because our itinerary was too packed, which was a bit of a shame.
Overall, I'd still give it a high rating and would recommend it.

The hotel is located between Yixing and Liyang, in a slightly out-of-the-way location, but it's quite large and has a very nice environment. Guest rooms and the hot springs are in the same building, making it very convenient to get around. The dining area is on the first floor and the food is decent. The hotel also offers bamboo rafting, boating, cycling, and electric scooter rides. It wasn't crowded on weekdays, and the hot springs could be booked entirely. Our butler, Xiao Wei, provided excellent service and responded promptly.

A 5-star hotel in Dingdu Town, the hometown of purple clay pottery.
It takes about 400 yen and takes 15 minutes by DIDI from the high-speed rail station.
The spacious lobby has purple clay teapots displayed like a museum, and it takes an hour to see them all.
On the first floor of the hotel, there are four purple clay teapot specialty shops, so if you don't have time to go out to town, you can purchase quality products within the hotel.
The room is very spacious, with a large bathtub and plenty of hot water.
The shower booth can be switched between a hand shower and a rainfall shower.
The room is equipped with a purple clay stone teapot and tea tray tea set, as well as black and green tea leaves.
There is also a thick guidebook of purple clay teapot owners on the writing desk, which will soothe your boredom at night.
I entered the room just as the room was being cleaned, and the cleaning ladies were very kind to me, as I don't speak Chinese. I was really impressed.
The breakfast is not as good as a foreign 5-star hotel, but it has a sufficient variety and quantity.
It is a Chinese hotel, so the only flaw is that they do not provide chilled drinks or omelets.
It is not the hotel's fault, but there are few restaurants around the hotel where you can eat alone (for some reason there are many hotpot restaurants).
The nearest convenience store is less than 1 km away.
That is the only negative point.
I stayed in May during the China-United Nations holiday, so it was a little expensive, but normally this luxury hotel is around 7,000 yen, which is a bargain.
Of course, I would like to stay again next time.
From the window, you can see Huanglong Mountain, which reminds you of the mining of the past. This hotel is a dream hotel for purple clay teapot collectors.
If you are a purple clay teapot fan from Japan, you should definitely try staying at this hotel, you will definitely not regret it!
PS
This hotel has smoking rooms ヽ(^o^)丿

XiaofengziLocated in the center of Yixing, opposite is the Chengnan River, which connects to a scenic spot. The view is good on the 20th floor, and the bridge is lit at night. You can also walk, which is very good. The overall environment of the hotel is quiet. The family room is suitable for two families. The room is super large and has a small living room. The only drawback is that there is only one bathroom and two toilets. The hotel is close to Shunan Street, and it takes half an hour to drive to other scenic spots. Parking is free. You have to go to breakfast early, otherwise the ingredients will be eaten up. The hotel customer service staff are relatively warm and friendly, and they will solve any problems as soon as possible. If you can't book a hotel in the scenic area, you can try this one
