Jjxc_88888888They have a great laundry room service, free of charge, that is extremely convenient. The front desk people are very accommodating and friendly, helping us extend our stay by a night for the dragon boat festival. The rooms are very tidy and clean. The only issue I have with it is the soundproofing, it is extremely loud in the hallways, especially in the mornings when the cleaning folks arrive for their shifts. You can literally hear every single thing they are screaming at each other. Also, although it is a smoke free hotel, we actually saw some workers smoke in the lobby and in the elevators! Apart from that, it's a pretty good value for the price.
SSG60 GOGOIt's not the Hyatt nor Hilton, but it's HOME away from home for us. I was down with a cold and BOSS offered to get medicine for me. Location is GREAT. Easily accessible from the ZHENYUAN bus stop/STARBUCKS, 3 mins. Great street food abound 5 mins away. Scenic stream just behind the accommodation for your photos. This place is clean and odour-free. Its neighbour is a primary school so it's definitely quiet at night.
ゲゲストIt was one of my best stay experiences.
I actually had trouble finding the location as the map didn't give me the proper entrance location but nearby one.
(plus it was night and I am not good at locating; The gate is facing the stream so try to follow the stream and it wont be hard to find it in fact)
Even it was late around midnight but the owner waited for me.
The house is pretty cozy and always kept clean. The room is big enough for solo traveller like me, even with budget price. The water was hot enough and pressure was good too. And the heating and cooling system was all equipped pretty perfect. The room was always so greatly tended everyday I was deeply impressed.
Possibly can be noisy if there are other guests, considering the way the room faces but in my case it was by myself while staying so no trouble at all.
And it is not far from the famous lake, and you can find various kinds of diners, including foot massage shops and fruit sellers.
There was some lotus cafe+diner nearby, and it is worth giving it a try. And a takeout shop for roasted goose as well. It was pretty good.
(For Huaiyang cuisine, Damao was a good choice, though not that close from my stay. Think It must be a chain only located within Yangzhou. Food was worth the travel.)
For sightseeing, the Canal museum is a must, along with the Lake and Dongguan district. But it requires a reservation in advance. Better check it first, to save useless trip like I had ;
The host were so kind that when I asked where I can buy a new carrier when it was broken on the way, she was just willing to give me one she owned. I tried at least pay some but she refused kindly even with my persistency. Cannot thank her enough for saving all my annoyance. And she also tended with my laundry as well. Get to thank her again for her hospitality. Wish I could stay there again if I visit there again.
Kkl phoneGreat location, right next to 东关街, the ancient parr of the city. The daily night market is only a few hundred meters away. Amenities are great, staff are friendly and will offer suggestions to local sites and eateries. I had the goose and local noodles. Breakfast is a must try around the corner. Rooms are clean and are serviced daily. Will stay here again when I am back.
