Hoteles de familiares en 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. 

El Hotel Floral en Nanjing es SIMPLEMENTE EL MEJOR. En primer lugar, el personal femenino de recepción es simplemente maravilloso. Son muy amables y acogedores. Nos ayudaron a mi hijo y a mí a reservar entradas para una función especial de danza de la Tormenta Eléctrica de Cao Yu, ¡un verdadero placer para los visitantes! Los desayunos tradicionales que se sirven cada mañana también están deliciosos y son una excelente manera de empezar el día. En segundo lugar, el dueño es excepcional: se desvivió por llevarnos a la estación de tren temprano una mañana. En tercer lugar, la ubicación es excepcional: a poca distancia de Laomendong. No hay mejor ubicación en Nanjing, ya que es muy conveniente y a la vez animada. Hay muchísimos lugares para explorar, tanto para comer como para visitar (a poca distancia del Templo de Confucio). En cuarto lugar, tanto el hotel en sí como su ubicación en una nueva urbanización junto a Laomendong son muy relajantes, tranquilos y están decorados con buen gusto al estilo tradicional chino. Nanjing es una ciudad muy importante con una gran historia y tradición. No se la pierda. En resumen, nuestra estancia en el Hotel Floral fue inolvidable y no podemos agradecerle lo suficiente al personal por hacerla tan especial. Esperamos volver.

La ubicación del hotel es excelente, lo que facilita mucho los desplazamientos. Está justo al lado de una estación de metro y también se puede llegar en taxi hasta la entrada del hotel. Aunque no hay ascensor, el personal de recepción es muy amable y siempre ayuda a subir el equipaje a la habitación. Las instalaciones del hotel son completas y en la planta baja hay una máquina de café y aperitivos gratuitos.

Cuando me alojo en un hotel, siempre me preocupa su fecha de apertura. Incluso en hoteles de cinco estrellas, una apertura prolongada puede afectar la calidad de la estancia. ¡Me encanta especialmente la decoración del hotel! Nancy fue muy amable, nos avisó el día antes del check-in e incluso nos ofreció una habitación de categoría superior gratuita. Esta vez, llevé a mis hijos al lago Jinji y la puesta de sol fue realmente impresionante. Los alrededores son perfectos para pasear con niños, con la librería Chengpin y Yuanrong Times Square para cenar. El desayuno del hotel ofrecía una gran variedad de platos e ingredientes frescos. Mis hijos comieron bien y durmieron profundamente. También hay dos muñecas adorables en el vestíbulo, perfectas para tomar fotos y registrarse. A mis hijos les encantaron. Ah, y todos deberían probar la sopa de ciruela ácida de Caizhizhai en el vestíbulo; no es demasiado dulce y es increíblemente refrescante. Sin duda, me alojaré en Indigo la próxima vez. ¡Es fantástico!

The hotel is Ping Jiang Road, right next to the river which offers easy access to the shopping area. You can easily find eateries within walking distance as well. Just note that because of the fact it is located the river where cars typically can't get to, you would likely need to alight at the main road and walk about 5mins in to the hotel. Might not be suitable for groups with small children, huge luggages or elderly. The hotel itself is super charming. First, you will be greeted by warm and friendly staff who are more than happy to help you with luggages or provide tips for the area. There is no elevators so you would need to carry your luggages to rooms on the 2F or 3F, ( the staff helped me with mine). Room is very clean and fittings are all new. Toilet is new as well with automated flush. The toilet/bathroom doors are translucent however. You can't see what the person is doing inside but the light passes through so might not be a good idea to share the room with someone else if they are sensitive to light especially at night. Otherwise, everything else is perfect at this location.

Una experiencia maravillosa. Todo el hotel fue diseñado por el grupo Temasek de Singapur y está integrado en el área escénica de Panmen. El hotel en sí adopta una estructura de jardín chino y oculta ingeniosamente ocho atracciones. La puerta trasera conduce directamente al área escénica de Panmen. Con la tarjeta del hotel, se puede disfrutar de acceso ilimitado durante todo el día al área escénica de Panmen y varios servicios, como el alquiler de hanfu. El hotel en sí es impecable, y las instalaciones, la piscina y el gimnasio son de primera categoría. La actitud del servicio al cliente también es muy profesional. Descubrí que muchos extranjeros, especialmente singapurenses, vienen aquí. La única pequeña pega es que las habitaciones del hotel están repartidas en varios edificios, lo que lo hace un poco grande. La primera vez que vine, tardé mucho en llegar de la recepción a la habitación. Además, la recepción está en el tercer piso y las habitaciones en el primero y segundo, lo que puede causar confusión al entrar y salir.

What I liked: the location of the hotel was almost ideal, the bed was extremely comfortable, the staff was quite nice and tried to solve problems as efficiently as possible within their power and the late checkout is wonderful. I do tend to ask a lot of questions, and they were very patient and communicated well through WeChat. They also allowed me to check in early. The property is beautiful and modern. It’s an Instagrammers dream. Hotel toiletries are nice. All aesthetics inside the room are excellent. Easy walk to the Suzhou MoCA/Suzhou Eye, Times Square and many malls and restaurants. There’s also a complementary mini bar with beverages. The indoor refrigerator is cold. The robes are a high-quality and so are the slippers. Hansgrohe and Kohler. Voss water. Good toothbrushes with Colgate toothpaste. What needs to be addressed: before booking the room, I went to the hotel, asking in broken Chinese and English if breakfast was included because the listing says “Brunch & Diptyque bath amenities” for a room with a Lakeview. I was told yes. So I booked the room on the spot. The staff was nice and took me to my room. When we entered, it was beautiful, but it was a sauna. They turned the air on, but unfortunately, there is no temperature adjustment. I had to use the fan that I brought with me for 30 minutes before I decided to go outside because it was cooler out there. It cooled down when I came back later that night so that wasn’t a problem. I was later informed that brunch was not included, but that they would happily comp it for me for free pending a good review. I skipped brunch. Furthermore, there is technically a view of the lake, but the windows on the first floor, basically faced the very busy sidewalk. I saw a guy peeing 3 meters away from me when I opened the curtains. Drunk people at 2 o’clock in the morning walking by laughing. If you book the Lakeview room make sure it is not on the first floor.I could not keep my curtains open. There’s literally always people outside before 3 AM and after around 7AM. I did not receive the promised upgraded Diptyque bath amenities listed either. No shower shoes. No international language TV options, pay per view only. Not completely soundproof, but not too bad. There’s also no in room information about the hotel offerings, and they pay all of this money to have hotel information connected with their television, it is not utilized. A few issues could be avoided if they would just update the listing on this website with correct information. Be careful when choosing this room type. You might as well pick a room that is 200 RMB cheaper. “Lakeview” is it a lie, but it’s definitely stretching the truth. “Walkway view with the lake in the background” is more accurate. All of this said, I will probably come back to this hotel. I will just stay in a cheaper room. Overall, I was quite satisfied with their resolutions with any problems that did arise. They did offer complementary bread at checkout.

Great value for money. Lots of activities to do in the area. The staff were very helpful. Overall a great experience. I will definitely come again.
