Inns di Jiangsu, China

This was my second stay, and it was just as great as the first. The hotel is right in the Old East Gate scenic area, surrounded by delicious food, and getting around is super convenient. The service attitude is consistently attentive and thoughtful; they're always ready to answer any questions. Since it was late autumn, they even gave me a beautiful autumn leaf artwork when I checked out, which I absolutely loved!

The room layout is well-designed, and it's very clean. It even has its own small garden, and the view from the street-facing window is beautiful. Yuyu Inn boasts an excellent location; it's right by Lion Grove Garden, just a three or four-minute walk to Humble Administrator's Garden, a ten-minute walk to Pingjiang Road, and only a few subway stops from Tiger Hill. Dining options are convenient too; right around the corner from the inn is Suyuanji Noodle House, which is clean and serves delicious food (I even included photos of the noodle house for fellow travelers' reference).. Initially, I booked for one night. As soon as I left Huangshan North Station, I received a call from the inn's front desk asking if I needed a parking space and letting me know they had already turned on the room's heating. When we arrived, the room was warm and cozy, which felt incredibly thoughtful. After settling in, the front desk even helped us plan a reasonable itinerary, so we promptly extended our stay for another night. On the second day, my mother wanted an apple. The kind front desk lady, with her hair in a bun, didn't hesitate and rode her own electric scooter to take me to the farmers' market to buy fresh fruit, saving me a lot of trouble. The lobby has a relaxed tea area, making you feel at home where you can enjoy tea. The inn also has a small courtyard, a miniature garden with a pavilion, a fish pond, and a very well-behaved cat. Since we were traveling with an elder, we booked a ground-floor room facing the street. Initially, I was worried it might be noisy, but I later found it to be quiet both day and night because there's no vehicle traffic or many pedestrians. We slept very well. All in all, I'm very satisfied; the value for money is outstanding. I'll definitely stay at Yuyu Inn again on my next visit.

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!

I had a wonderful stay! The hotel is perfectly located—there are plenty of delicious food options around, so you’ll never go hungry! It’s also just a short walk to everything you need. What I loved most was the relaxing vibe of the hotel. It really felt like a home away from home, especially with the large projector screen in the room. My family and I enjoyed cozying up with some hot tea while taking in the nice view and the cool breeze—it was the perfect way to unwind. The staff and housekeeper were also fantastic—very helpful, friendly, and easy-going. They made sure we had everything we needed, which added to the overall comfort of our stay. Thanks for making our experience so enjoyable. Will definitely return next time we’re in the area!

What an unique experience! Nothing could be more authentic than that! Our room is on the first floor right by the water. We saw many women rowing the gondola boats and serenading beautiful songs to their passengers. We came in a low season, so there wasn’t that much crowd. We could stroll around leisurely to take in all the beautiful sights that this place offers to us. The home stay is operated by a couples. They are so friendly, kind, and always eager to help out, especially the wife (Ms. Chan). The day when we left, she helped us getting a didi ride which is more cheaper than the one we hailed ourselves. The room we stayed in is very unique, it is not super big, but it is very clean and it has everything we needed for the night. All and all, I would highly recommend this place to my friends and family.

The young lady at the front desk was incredibly sweet and welcoming. The hotel's location is fantastic, very close to both the subway station and Fuzimiao (Confucius Temple). There are plenty of shopping options nearby. It's particularly recommended for young fans who enjoy buying 'merch' (collectibles) at Shuiyoucheng mall. Ideal for families with children and elderly members who enjoy exploring at a relaxed pace.

Word of advice for people who didnt know, the hotel is right smack in the middle of non-car access area. After alighting, you should use trip app call function to call the hotel so that they bring a old trolley to pull your luggage for you. It is in a tourism spot so super convenient to eat and shop. But it is a door that is at a side lane, and also that is kept closed at all times, see pic 4. At night, if you are lucky, there are 2 lantern lights lit for you, see pic 5. However, the girls at the lobby are super helpful. They operate the dining area across, so they sometimes disappear from counter. But they are helpful when you ask them things. They even ordered a late night noodles for me when i told them i do not have a ******* app. Lovely stay.

The facilities are complete. The room isn't huge, probably less than 30 square meters, but it's fine for sleeping at night. The package included tickets to Nianhua Bay, a Zen experience class, buffet breakfast, and afternoon tea. The hotel is conveniently located inside the scenic area. It covers food, accommodation, activities, and experiences, so it's quite good value for money. The staff were very friendly; they even gave us a guide and important reminders so we wouldn't miss any highlights, which was really commendable.

The room was clean and comfortable. We particularly liked the unique layout of the courtyard, which the kids absolutely adored. They also kindly helped us with our luggage. The service was excellent, and the host was incredibly thoughtful – they even turned on the air conditioning in advance, so the room was perfectly cool when we arrived on a hot summer day.

It is located within Tongli Ancient Town. You need to pay an entrance fee to enter Tongli Ancient Town, but if you contact the owner, she can introduce you to tickets that are (probably) cheaper than usual. The owner is fluent in English, which was very helpful. The atmosphere inside the building is very nice, and you can get the feeling that you are staying in an old Chinese mansion (although we're not sure what era it is from). There are plenty of restaurants nearby, so you'll never be stranded without a place to find dinner. You can enjoy the ancient town at night.
