Familien-Hotels in Jiangsu, China

I 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. 

Floral hotel Nanjing review Hotel has unique character. Located in a private complex so it is quieter with no public car / scooter allowed to get in. Kids are happy playing and running outside the complex. Very clean, quiet and charming area. Location: fantastic location at laomendong old town (3 mins walk to the main old town - all the main actions), 10 mins walk to the city wall. We arrived at night and it was late (11pm) so it was a bit hard to find the accomm. 3 luggages and 2 kids made it hard-but I imagine using taxi outside the airport would make it easier and more convenience. The taxi will drop you off just outside the complex. It was 2 mins walk to the hotel. The hotel is easily found inside the complex. Check in process is super easy. To travel around, there are 2 metro stations you can use. We usually use the wumending stations - around 15-25 mins walk depending on the kids mood. However we never have problem commutting. The walk to the station is dotted with shops (food, snacks, convenience stores). Room: Clean, spacious and modern A family of four. We have plenty of space. Amenities are very modern. Plenty of storage space inside the toilet for your toileteries. Bed is massive (king size) and comfortable. We booked 2 beds to accommodate our family. Daily housekeeping and water bottles replacement. Communication: The owner will add you on wechat on check in day. All communication can be done via wechat. The translation app in wechat is a god sent. The staff has minimal english - but we dont have any problem communicating through wechat conversation. You can ask them for information etc through wechat. They will reply straight away. Services: Impeccable, above and beyond. The owner and all of the staffs are super helpful. Always keen to help. The owner took and showed us the restaurants around laomendong which are worth going - as there are plenty of restaurants around the areas. Because it is a boutique hotel, the service is very personalised. Breakfast: Set meal for breakfast every morning. Serve at 8am. It is not buffee with hundreds of selections but they give you healthy and nourishing breakfast. We stay there for 4 days and everyday is different menu. We absolutely enjoy our breakfast. Bits and pieces: There is a friendly and well behaved corgi dog inside the residence. My kids are generally scared of dog but they could not help themselves petting and playing with the dog. They missed the dog when we left Nanjing. I ve seen other hotels in major areas when we walked around. But the street is very busy and wont suit us. Also hotels in cbd areas - no character surrounding the cbd. It would be perfect for business people but I think this hotel is very suited for leisure and family. The hotel provide laundry service too. You just need to drop it off to front desk. They will wash, dry and fold them for you!!! My daughter vomitted on our second night. The sheets would be stained from the vomit but they did not charge us for the damage. The hotel can order you taxi if you dont have didi apps for taxi. My didi apps did not work as i did not set it up properly back home. You dont even need to pay the taxi driver either-they will sort it out and the hotel will charge you later. The price might be a bit higher than the surrounding hotels, however its definately worth every penny. In conclusion: Your accommodation choice can really impact your trip. Floral hotel has been amazing and I believe this hotel was an excellent choice for family / leisure trip. We really enjoy our Nanjing trip because of Floral Hotel. Thank you Floral hotel for everything and we will definately stay at your hotel again next time we come to visit Nanjing.

Ein besonders gutes Hotel 🏨 Zumindest für Leute, die mit Kindern reisen, ist es definitiv die unkomplizierteste Wahl. Es ist kostengünstig und der Hauptgrund ist, dass die Lage sehr praktisch ist. Es liegt sehr nahe an der Guanqian Street und der Pingjiang Road Es liegt auch in der Nähe der U-Bahn. 🚇 Überall, wo ich hingehe, ist das Hotelpersonal sehr gut. Tatsächlich sind viele Hotels möglicherweise nicht sauber, egal wie teuer sie sind, aber es kommt auch darauf an Die Qualität der Leute, die dort übernachten, entfernt auch die Stromkarte, aber dieses Hotel hat immer die Stromkarte, und als wir ins Hotel zurückkehrten, war es übrigens extrem heiß Trotzdem denke ich, dass dieses Hotel aufgrund seines Preises und seiner Erfahrung empfehlenswert ist. Das Hotel ist auch nicht laut. Sonnencreme 🧴, Masken 😷, Desinfektionstücher usw. sind an der Rezeption erhältlich. Wenn Sie ausgehen, müssen Sie sich keine Sorgen machen, dass Sie nach dem Einkaufen nach Hause zurückkehren mitten in der Nacht.

Die Hotelausstattung ist hervorragend. Die Zimmer sind gut aufgeteilt, schallisoliert und die Dusche funktioniert einwandfrei. Die Lage ist im Jinji-See-Gebiet. Es ist sehr praktisch, nach unten zu gehen und am See spazieren zu gehen. In der Umgebung gibt es mindestens drei Einkaufszentren, die alle innerhalb von fünf bis zehn Gehminuten erreichbar sind, ohne die ruhige Umgebung des Hotels zu stören – ruhig trotz der Nähe zum Geschehen. Die Fahrt ins Stadtzentrum dauert etwa 20-30 Minuten, und ich bin weder zur Hauptverkehrszeit noch am Wochenende in einen Stau geraten. Der Service ist proaktiv und geht auf die Bedürfnisse der Gäste ein. Das Aufenthaltserlebnis hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Dies ist das Fünf-Sterne-Hotel, mit dem ich in letzter Zeit am zufriedensten war.

Ich verbrachte ein Wochenende in Suzhou zwischen zwei Fabrikbesuchen. Ich suchte eine Unterkunft im touristischen Zentrum von Gusu Yard. Das DongHuaLi Hotel gefiel mir auf Anhieb und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Es liegt nur einen kurzen Spaziergang (200 Meter) von der Straße entfernt, direkt auf der anderen Seite des Kanals, fernab der Touristenmassen auf der Pingjiang Lu. Vom Hotel aus merkt man davon nichts, da es angenehm ruhig ist. Man kann das Gebiet auch verlassen, ohne auf die Touristen zu treffen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Ich hatte ein Zimmer mit Balkon im dritten Stock. Klein, aber fein. Die Wäschemöglichkeiten waren gut. Der Frühstücksbereich/die Rezeption im Erdgeschoss war sauber und hell. Ich hatte zwar Frühstück gebucht, bin aber nie früh genug aufgestanden, um es zu probieren. Ich würde definitiv wieder hier übernachten. Ein wirklich schönes Hotel.

Der Service war großartig und die Umgebung erstklassig. Direkt nebenan befindet sich der Panmen-Park mit Bergen und Wasser – wirklich schön. Die Sauberkeit war auch hervorragend. Die Ausstattung war gut, die Lage top, alles leicht erreichbar. Wenn ich das nächste Mal nach Suzhou komme, werde ich wieder in diesem Hotel übernachten. Wir bekamen sogar zwei kostenlose Tickets für die Panmen-Aussichtsplattform der Kategorie 4A sowie eine einstündige Cheongsam-Anprobe für Damen (nicht an gesetzlichen Feiertagen).

I booked Hanyuan because it is within walking distance to my folks home. And my grandma used to work at Nanjing Agricultural University, which the hotel is affiliated with. I read others’ reviews and knew it is an old facility. I did not have unrealistic expectations. We arrived late at night. Taxi driver dropped us off at the side entrance that has numerous stairs to the door. We had lots of luggage. As we got out of the cab, we saw some staff member in the lobby looking out. Instead of coming out to help us, he walked away. My husband, myself and our seven year old all carried/dragged multiple items up the stairs to get into the hotel lobby. We checked in and decided that we would need to add a bed for the kid. House keeping came quickly to set up the bed but was reluctant to provide pillows for the additional bed. I had to repeatedly ask before they agreed to bring an extra pillow. Don’t understand why there is such resistance to equip the additional bed with pillow- after all, we did pay for the additional bed. Everything else was pretty good during our first three-day-stay. We then went away to visit families elsewhere for a week before coming back to this hotel. This time, our car drove onto the ramp at the front entrance. As soon as we entered the building, lobby manager came to offer us help. He helped us deliver luggage to our room. We are very appreciative of his assistance. We ran into some issues at the front desk this time. They asked for our passports again and took our pictures for a second time. When I mentioned that we were just here a week ago and all information was taken already, we were told that all information has been erased as we checked out. When we checked in/out the first time, we informed front desk that we were making the hotel our base camp and will be coming in and out a few times. It’s strange that they would delete our information and redo everything all over again. Again we need to add a bed. House keeping brought a roller bed which has a stained mattress pad. I asked them to bring a clean one, they said they could not. They said they didn’t have any clean pads. They said the only option is to remove the pad and put the sheets directly on the mattress. They further suggested that since the sheet is clean, dirty pad doesn’t matter and that every mattress pad under bed sheets has urine stains. His words made my stomach turn but I was too tired to fight so they went ahead put sheets on top of the mattress pad that has a big yellow stain. Again I asked for pillows for the additional bed, they refused at first, upon my insistence, they agreed to bring pillows. They also took out a blanket from the cabinets under television and put it on the bed. When the seven year old was ready for bed, I opened the blanket and realized it’s cover is dirty. It’s dusty and has multiple stings of hair on it. I called house keeping, a lady quickly bought over a clean duvet cover for the blanket but refused to take away the dirty one. She insisted that we keep the dirty duvet in the closet. I did not understand her rationale but there isn’t anything I can do. So that dirty duvet cover stayed in the closet. Maybe I should not have come back to this hotel.

1. **服務周到，賓至如歸** 這次入住體驗非常棒！公寓工作人員的服務態度特別好，從入住到退房，每一個環節都讓人感到貼心。前台小姐姐熱情又耐心，還主動幫我升級了房型，房間視野超好，真的非常感謝！ 2. **房間乾淨舒適，設施齊全** 房間打掃得非常乾淨，床品柔軟舒適，睡得很香。浴室也很寬敞，熱水充足，洗浴用品質量不錯。細節做得很到位，住得很舒心。 4. **位置便利，周邊配套齊全** 酒店地理位置很好，附近有商場和地鐵站，出行非常方便。晚上還可以在周邊散步，感受城市的夜景，整體氛圍很放鬆。 5. **性價比高，推薦入住** 這次入住感覺物超所值，無論是房間設施還是服務質量都很滿意。下次來這個城市還會選擇這家酒店，也會推薦給朋友！

設施：除了沒有游泳池，其他都是精品酒店標準，有兩棟樓，大堂這邊有部分客房、洗衣房、麪包房和咖啡廳。另一棟有健身房、酒吧和早餐廳。房間不是很大，但是設施齊全，智能馬桶和蒂普提克的洗浴用品很不錯。另外，早餐的半自助點餐方式也非常喜歡，主廚出品的主食非常好吃，雞肉卷、班尼蛋印象很深，咖啡外帶也是很大方。 衞生：很乾凈，可以説非常不錯，酒店開業時間不長，但是整體管理還是挺好的，床品也很舒服。 環境：就在月光碼頭景區裏面，緊鄰金雞湖，部分房間可以看到湖景，整個酒店最吸引我的就是歐式工業風的裝修，很有一種置身法國的錯覺。酒店的設計師是有想法和品味的。 服務：提前看了房間，服務員也很熱情，免費洗衣房也是加分項目。停車是用景區的地下車庫，每次出去提前和前台報備就可以了，就是逢週末或者節假日遊客高峯，停車是一個難題，建議酒店至少應該預留一些專用車位給客人，否則客人會很難停到車位，非常不方便。

Five-Day Stay in Nanjing Check-in Experience We arrived early at around 6 AM due to the difficulty of booking train tickets during the holiday season. Although check-in was at 3 PM, the staff kindly accommodated us with an early check-in for an additional fee. Accommodation We stayed in two types of rooms during our visit: Single Room - Spacious and located in a peaceful, quiet area of the property. RV Room - Situated near the camping area where families and friends gather around a large bonfire for singing, BBQ, and games. **Ratings** Staff: 8/10 - Friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Shuttle Service: 10/10 - The driver was exceptionally pleasant and always smiling. Since my daughter has asthma and walking long distances is difficult for her, we frequently requested shuttle service between locations. This was especially helpful as ride-share drivers typically drop off at the entrance, which is quite a walk from the rooms and facilities. Breakfast: 10/10 - Excellent variety of traditional Chinese dishes. They were accommodating when my husband requested takeout. Cleanliness: 10/10 - Both rooms were clean, including the beds, towels, and bathrooms. As my daughter’s asthma is triggered by dust, I was pleased that the rooms were clean enough that she didn’t experience any sneezing or symptoms. We all slept well for the entire five days. **Things to Consider** It’s highly recommended to have your own car, as the property is quite far from the city center. If you enjoy nature and outdoor activities, this place is ideal. Activities include: - ATV rides - Fishing area - Playground (note: adults are charged rather than children, so it’s more economical for only one adult to enter) - Small animal area featuring rabbits, ostriches, and llamas (15 RMB entry) - Train ride (30 RMB) The coffee shop has a wonderful atmosphere and aesthetic appeal, making it popular for photos. The property itself is spacious and perfect for leisurely walks. There’s also a temple nearby, approximately 20 minutes away by car. **Challenges We Faced** My daughter developed a fever and experienced diarrhea during our stay. When I called the front desk for help, the staff member wasn’t very accommodating and suggested my husband go buy medicine. This was difficult for us as foreigners who don’t speak the language well. I felt sad and helpless, especially when we couldn’t get any taxis or cabs to pick us up. We wanted to take her to the hospital, but no cabs were available. However, the next morning, a staff member spoke with me who was extremely kind and accommodating. They even offered to drive my daughter to the hospital, which I declined because we needed to catch our train and she was feeling better after taking medicine. They drove us to the South Railway Station and thoughtfully gave my daughter bags and drinks. It was a very kind gesture that we truly appreciated.
