Alojamientos en Jiangsu, China

Esta casa de huéspedes muy acogedora y bien situado es uno de los lugares más bonitos que he estado en China durante dos meses. Los propietarios son muy dulces y amables y cuidan de su lugar bien. Las habitaciones son inmaculadamente limpias. El balcón en el agua era un punto de venta para mí. La Wifi es muy buena. Las camas son muy cómodas. Es justo en el centro de la ciudad antigua de Tongli, un lugar muy agradable con toneladas de fotos. Desde la estación de tren de Suzhou, usted toma la línea de metro 4 hasta la última parada. Entonces salir a la salida 9 o 10 y verá el autobús eléctrico ART para llevarte a la puerta norte de Tongli. Es gratis! Es una hora en total, pero tan agradable para permanecer en Tongli.

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.

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.

El entorno es elegante, la habitación es limpia y cómoda, el servicio es intimidad y los detalles del hotel de apartamentos Zhou están en posición, la higiene limpia, las instalaciones están modernizadas, el servicio de recepción es una experiencia de estadía muy satisfactoria! El entorno está tranquilo, el diseño de la habitación está en moda, el equipo está completo, la actitud de servicio es amigable, el precio es muy alto, se recomienda enérgicamente a los amigos!

Vine con mis compañeros y mis hijos. El ambiente era genial, la habitación estaba limpia y los artículos de aseo estaban completos (sus artículos de aseo eran excelentes y olían de maravilla). Incluso nos proporcionaron toallas para lavar. El sacerdote taoísta fue increíblemente amable. Pagamos un poco más para cambiarnos a una habitación con calefacción por suelo radiante y ventanales del suelo al techo, que era comodísima. Durante nuestra estancia en el templo taoísta, ¡incluso nos tocó un día de nieve! ¡Una de las pocas veces al año que nieva! 😍😍😍 ¡Los niños estaban emocionadísimos! 😝😝😝 Hacía un poco de frío, ¡pero las fotos quedaron increíbles! 😘😘😘 Dormimos profundamente toda la noche. A las 6:30 en punto, nos levantamos para quemar el primer incienso. ¡El incienso era increíblemente fuerte, un contraste total con las ofrendas habituales! 😄 El desayuno gratuito incluía fideos aromáticos, lattes y bollos al vapor. Los fideos estaban bien calientes y la comida nos reconfortó por completo. 🤗 ¡Tenemos muchas ganas de volver! Servicio: :S

La casa de huéspedes está ubicada en el centro histórico de Suzhou, en una calle pintoresca y tranquila. La casa es muy bonita, el mobiliario es elegante y cuenta con un baño moderno y artículos desechables. Desafortunadamente, no había toallas de baño, sino toallas de papel. No había recepción, a pesar de que se especificaba en la descripción del alojamiento. Llegamos a las 13:00 (horario de recepción: 8:00-19:00), pero no había nadie y no recibimos ninguna respuesta en el chat de Trip.com. Cuando llamamos al alojamiento, solo nos atendieron en chino y luego nos enviaron un código QR de WeChat. Nos escribieron solo en chino, aunque les escribíamos en inglés. Por suerte, WeChat tiene un servicio de traducción; de lo contrario, nos habría sido imposible entender qué hacer. Nos dieron información sobre cómo llegar al alojamiento (aunque ya estábamos allí) y nos proporcionaron un código de acceso que no pudimos usar, ya que desconocíamos lo más importante: el número de habitación. Además, el código de acceso cambiaba cada vez que salíamos (dijeron que era un problema relacionado con personas no chinas) y era bastante molesto tener que escribirles constantemente por WeChat. ¡Pero la habitación está muy bien!

La habitación es muy limpia, limpia, el servicio del jefe también es bueno, super rentable! La próxima vez que venga, viviré aquí.

Overall an enjoyable and relaxing one night stay at this tiny cosy hotel in Zhouzhuang, for our final leg of our 6 days Suzhou trip. We took a didi over to Zhouzhuang, which was faster and cheaper than I expected, just a little over half an hour. The hotel staff called me the day before to arrange for pick-up near the watertown ticket office. Actually I can't speak Mandarin and their English wasn't too good but we ended up chatting on Wechat as Wechat has a built-in translate function in their chat. So, 15 minutes before we arrive, we just had to let them know on Wechat. And the staff is already waiting for us, helped us with the luggage and guided us through the ticket buying process. You do have to pay for the ¥100 RMB ticket to get into the watertown and the ticket is good for 3 days. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the entrance. I picked this hotel because it was right inside the watertown and it had the ancient Chinese interior, although all the amenities are modern, including a robust and high-tech Kohler smart toilets in each bathroom. There is a nice coffee shop inside the hotel and the coffee shop owner is friendly and takes his coffee craft seriously. The hotel gives you 2 free drinks during your stay and the coffee menu is quite extensive. If the hotel rooms are not booked on that day, we are told the hotel opens their doors to coffee customers. The hotel owner is actually younger than I expected so I am impressed she meticulously created this authentic experience and the attention to detail. She was friendly and helpful and was open to accommodating our needs. We booked the entire 2nd floor, which was 3 bedrooms and we had 6 adults in our group. This tiny hotel only has 3 bedrooms so if you booked all 3 rooms, you pretty much get the entire hotel to yourselves which include the first floor which is spacious and comfy. When I visit Zhouzhuang again, I am looking forward to stay here again. It's certainly not cheap, but you do get what you pay for - which is people passionate about hospitality (in a Chinese way) and also a hygiene and staying experience that is certainly up to international standards.

El edificio de apartamentos, la recepción está en el 13o piso, el apartamento está en el octavo piso, el entorno exterior es general, en el interior está bien, se siente seguro, el aire acondicionado es un poco viejo, pero no hay problema de frío. Vivía en Suzhou dos noches, alarma rápida a la temperatura alta, muy afortunado, lavavajillas grandes y cómodo.
