Hotel Hot Springs di Jiangsu, China

I booked a family room with a private hot spring. It was quite spacious and even had a small courtyard. The villa-style rooms are all on one floor. The hotel itself covers a large area and offers a huge variety of room types. The facilities are a bit dated, but they're clearly trying their best with maintenance. The main draw seems to be the hot spring and family-friendly amenities, with plenty of activities. The transportation service is very convenient; WeChat messages are answered instantly (kudos to Radish Butler!). There are quite a few cute animals, including two large horses that have even had their manes dyed! The hotel is full of Year of the Horse elements, and there are many horse dolls in the rooms. For the private hot spring, you need to request water 2 hours in advance. The hotel's location is directly opposite the East Gate of Slender West Lake Scenic Area. Most famous restaurants are within a 3km radius, which is very convenient for tourists. Quyuan is a 600-meter walk, but I didn't go. I recommend Xiangyuan, which is only 100 meters away – a great spot for breakfast! I would definitely come back again, maybe try staying in the Cihua Hall next time.

It was a very satisfying trip. My family of three checked in on October 8th, booking a two-bedroom, one-living room room at Taoxie Viewing Bamboo. Our housekeeper, Li Sipeng, contacted me a day in advance to confirm our arrival time and provided us with detailed and clear information about the hotel. When we arrived at the parking lot, Li was already waiting for us and upgraded us to Taoxie Viewing Mountain. The experience was incredibly comfortable. My son and I each had our own suite, offering stunning views and an outdoor hot tub and swimming pool. The hotel also provided many helpful perks. The front desk, restaurant staff, driver, and staff were all courteous and helpful. Li was incredibly thoughtful and considerate. Our photographer, April, was also a fantastic photographer, and I was thrilled to capture so many beautiful photos. The restaurant's cuisine was also delicious and suited our tastes. Overall, I had a wonderful impression of Bamboo Valley and will definitely return when I have time.

The room is spacious and about a five-minute walk from the subway station. The staff are also very welcoming, and the facilities are all-inclusive, so you basically don't need to bring anything yourself. The air conditioning is a bit loud, which can make it hard to sleep at night. I wouldn't bother adding breakfast; it wasn't hot either of the two days I had it. There are plenty of breakfast places nearby, including Yaba Shengjian right downstairs.

We stayed here for one night at the start of our Yangzhou trip to enjoy the hot springs, and overall it was a mixed but pleasant experience. The room was large and spacious, which we appreciated, but it didn’t feel especially comfortable or cosy compared to other hotels we stayed at later in the trip. The layout felt more functional than relaxing. One important thing to note is the private hot spring attached to the room. While it sounds great in theory, in our case it was located close to a road and not very private, with limited screening. The shower area was also visible from outside, which made it feel a bit awkward to use and reduced the sense of privacy we were expecting. That said, the service was excellent. Staff were friendly, helpful, and genuinely attentive, which made a positive difference to the stay. The location is very nice, especially if you enjoy walking. The hotel is close to Slender West Lake, with its beautiful old bridges, pathways, and water crossings — very pleasant for a slow walk. We also enjoyed having tea by the lake, although it was a long walk from the hotel. Breakfast offered a good variety, but most items didn’t feel very fresh. The coffee, unfortunately, was among the worst we’ve had — definitely not one for coffee lovers (said with a smile 😄). Overall, this is a good option if your priority is hot springs, walking access to the park, and attentive service, but it may not suit travellers who value privacy, comfort, or a more refined in-room hot spring experience.

The space is large, the bed is very comfortable, there are soft pillows and hard pillows, there is crystal aroma in the room, the TV can be cast, there are smart speakers, the curtain toilet is smart, the nightgown is very comfortable, the sanitation is very good, the coffee is good, the mini bar has Coke Sprite and ice water, overall very comfortable, Breakfast is rich, the oysters are delicious, the birthday front desk also sent souvenirs and birthday cards and fruits

Basically, the products of Huajiantang must be boutique. The hotel is in a very good location. Behind it is Yumatou, the Grand Canal, and Hua Street. It is quiet in the bustling city. There are noisy gongs and drums outside, and the voices are bustling, but it is very quiet in the hotel, which is very suitable for vacation. The facilities are very new, it is very comfortable to live in, the room is large enough, and the scenery is very good, not to mention the service, which can be ranked among the top domestic hotels. Basically, the front desk is responsive. I originally wanted to stay for one day, and then I extended it for another day because of the service. The young lady is very enthusiastic and actively recommends delicious and fun things around, and pays great attention to various service details. For example, when my wife had a birthday, the young lady took photos for her, printed the photos and put them in a wooden frame to give to my wife. I give full marks for this wave of service. The mineral water used is of the same grade as that of Qingdao St. Regis (Qingdao St. Regis is a top luxury hotel in our Shandong), and the various drinks in the small bar are the same as those used by Beijing Bulgari, and there are also various snacks, all free. The only downside is that the parking lot is a bit far away. It is said to be 150 meters away, but it is conservatively estimated to be 300 to 400 meters. The breakfast is good, but the dinner ordered in the restaurant is indeed average. This is basically the best (most expensive) hotel in Huai'an, so whether you are on a business trip or a vacation, you can't go wrong here.

This is my fourth time bringing friends to the Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring Resort. The front desk upgraded our room to the fourth floor, and the view of the lush green mountains immediately put us in a great mood. The room was spacious and elegant, and the towels and bathrobes were thick and new. The Bamboo Tip Hot Spring on the mountain was truly unforgettable, with comfortable water temperatures – even better in winter! Down the mountain, there are dozens of different types of hot spring pools to enjoy, and indoors, there's a large swimming pool. The breakfast buffet also offered a rich and diverse selection of both Western and Chinese dishes.

The hotel environment is great, and the facilities are good too. Our butler, Xiao Rui, is very attentive and provides excellent service; she's always responsive and helpful. Because I'm a bit lazy and missed breakfast, Xiao Rui even packed some breakfast and delivered it to my room – I'm very grateful! (Haha, I think for a relaxing vacation hotel, offering more flexibility with breakfast options would be better, catering to those who like to sleep in but still want breakfast). Overall, it's a good choice, and I'd consider staying here again sometime. Also, the service at the Thai hot pot restaurant was quite good.

Traveling to Yangzhou with my elderly parents, I chose the Guesthouse (Yingbinguan) based on reviews touting it as the best, opting for the moderately priced Building 11. I initially thought the five-star breakfast would be worth it, so I booked a room with breakfast included. Here's a summary of my experience: 1. The Guesthouse overall is very large with beautiful surroundings. Building 11 is located near the edge of the property, close to a road. Our family room was spacious, but the window faced the street, making it very noisy if opened. Besides being convenient for the hot spring bathhouse downstairs, I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to spend a lot of time in your room. 2. Breakfast for Building 11 is on the first floor. The selection was limited and nothing to recommend. The wontons and noodles tasted like they had been sitting out for a long time. There was no coffee machine, and with only three types of fruit including cucumber and cherry tomatoes, you can tell how subpar it was. At a price of 98, it felt overpriced and I wouldn't recommend booking breakfast. You'd be better off visiting one of the many teahouses nearby. 3. We received complimentary hot spring tickets and chose the Hot Spring Resort, which was excellent and well worth the experience. This was the most satisfying part of our stay. 4. The complimentary travel photoshoot was decent, and the hotel's picturesque scenery made for great photos. If I were to come back to Yangzhou for a vacation again, I'd probably choose to stay at the Hot Spring Resort. 😂

Room: We booked a private hot spring suite. The room was spacious with an outdoor private hot spring pool and a large indoor bathtub. The overall warm tone made for great photos, and the cleanliness was good. The private pool had a step, so it wasn't very deep. While the pool itself was clean, the tiles at the bottom looked a bit old. There was also a large balcony in the room, which wasn't noisy at night. The duvet was very comfortable and breathable (unlike some hotels where the duvets can feel stuffy). I had also noted that it was for my husband's birthday, so the hotel did some simple decorations in the room. Public Hot Spring: The entire process (changing, soaking, showering) was pretty good. There weren't many pools, maybe three or four unique ones. Luckily, it wasn't too crowded this weekend, so the overall comfort level was good. Afternoon Tea: This was included with the suite. It was decent, nothing special but perfectly fine. Breakfast: The taste was generally good, but there's room for improvement. They could enhance the variety and quantity of some dishes. Hotel Surroundings: It's quiet with few people around, and it's very convenient for ordering takeout.
