Hot Springs Hotels in Jiangsu, China

I booked a family room with a private hot spring. It was quite spacious and even had a small courtyard. The villa-style rooms are all on one floor. The hotel itself covers a large area and offers a huge variety of room types. The facilities are a bit dated, but they're clearly trying their best with maintenance. The main draw seems to be the hot spring and family-friendly amenities, with plenty of activities. The transportation service is very convenient; WeChat messages are answered instantly (kudos to Radish Butler!). There are quite a few cute animals, including two large horses that have even had their manes dyed! The hotel is full of Year of the Horse elements, and there are many horse dolls in the rooms. For the private hot spring, you need to request water 2 hours in advance. The hotel's location is directly opposite the East Gate of Slender West Lake Scenic Area. Most famous restaurants are within a 3km radius, which is very convenient for tourists. Quyuan is a 600-meter walk, but I didn't go. I recommend Xiangyuan, which is only 100 meters away – a great spot for breakfast! I would definitely come back again, maybe try staying in the Cihua Hall next time.

It was a very satisfying trip. My family of three checked in on October 8th, booking a two-bedroom, one-living room room at Taoxie Viewing Bamboo. Our housekeeper, Li Sipeng, contacted me a day in advance to confirm our arrival time and provided us with detailed and clear information about the hotel. When we arrived at the parking lot, Li was already waiting for us and upgraded us to Taoxie Viewing Mountain. The experience was incredibly comfortable. My son and I each had our own suite, offering stunning views and an outdoor hot tub and swimming pool. The hotel also provided many helpful perks. The front desk, restaurant staff, driver, and staff were all courteous and helpful. Li was incredibly thoughtful and considerate. Our photographer, April, was also a fantastic photographer, and I was thrilled to capture so many beautiful photos. The restaurant's cuisine was also delicious and suited our tastes. Overall, I had a wonderful impression of Bamboo Valley and will definitely return when I have time.

My stay in Suzhou this time was absolutely fantastic, so I just had to leave a heartfelt review! The hotel has a Japanese-inspired design, simple and clean, creating a wonderful ambiance. The room was tidy and comfortable, making for a truly relaxing stay. The location is also superb, with everything you need nearby. There are tons of dining options right outside, making it super convenient for eating out and shopping. But what really warmed my heart was the service! The overall experience was top-notch, perfect whether you're traveling for leisure or business. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Suzhou!

We stayed here for one night at the start of our Yangzhou trip to enjoy the hot springs, and overall it was a mixed but pleasant experience. The room was large and spacious, which we appreciated, but it didn’t feel especially comfortable or cosy compared to other hotels we stayed at later in the trip. The layout felt more functional than relaxing. One important thing to note is the private hot spring attached to the room. While it sounds great in theory, in our case it was located close to a road and not very private, with limited screening. The shower area was also visible from outside, which made it feel a bit awkward to use and reduced the sense of privacy we were expecting. That said, the service was excellent. Staff were friendly, helpful, and genuinely attentive, which made a positive difference to the stay. The location is very nice, especially if you enjoy walking. The hotel is close to Slender West Lake, with its beautiful old bridges, pathways, and water crossings — very pleasant for a slow walk. We also enjoyed having tea by the lake, although it was a long walk from the hotel. Breakfast offered a good variety, but most items didn’t feel very fresh. The coffee, unfortunately, was among the worst we’ve had — definitely not one for coffee lovers (said with a smile 😄). Overall, this is a good option if your priority is hot springs, walking access to the park, and attentive service, but it may not suit travellers who value privacy, comfort, or a more refined in-room hot spring experience.

The room was great, right outside Exit 4 of the subway station, not a long walk. The room was new, and even though I arrived late, they upgraded me as requested. However, here's the problem: when I went for breakfast, the woman at the registration desk was arguing vehemently with a customer as soon as I entered the restaurant 🥴. The customer was relatively calm, but the woman at registration was shouting and was incredibly aggressive. Regardless of who was right, it was extremely rude to speak to a customer. While the service wasn't exactly top-notch, the way that woman talked to the customer was infuriating. Because of one person, I hate the whole place. Just a casual customer, afraid of getting yelled at, I'm never going back. Other customers considering staying at this hotel, please be careful not to get yelled at 🤫

Basically, the products of Huajiantang must be boutique. The hotel is in a very good location. Behind it is Yumatou, the Grand Canal, and Hua Street. It is quiet in the bustling city. There are noisy gongs and drums outside, and the voices are bustling, but it is very quiet in the hotel, which is very suitable for vacation. The facilities are very new, it is very comfortable to live in, the room is large enough, and the scenery is very good, not to mention the service, which can be ranked among the top domestic hotels. Basically, the front desk is responsive. I originally wanted to stay for one day, and then I extended it for another day because of the service. The young lady is very enthusiastic and actively recommends delicious and fun things around, and pays great attention to various service details. For example, when my wife had a birthday, the young lady took photos for her, printed the photos and put them in a wooden frame to give to my wife. I give full marks for this wave of service. The mineral water used is of the same grade as that of Qingdao St. Regis (Qingdao St. Regis is a top luxury hotel in our Shandong), and the various drinks in the small bar are the same as those used by Beijing Bulgari, and there are also various snacks, all free. The only downside is that the parking lot is a bit far away. It is said to be 150 meters away, but it is conservatively estimated to be 300 to 400 meters. The breakfast is good, but the dinner ordered in the restaurant is indeed average. This is basically the best (most expensive) hotel in Huai'an, so whether you are on a business trip or a vacation, you can't go wrong here.

Since I went to Nanshan Bamboo Sea a long time ago, and this hotel was just opened at that time, I was very impressed with this hotel. After many years, I visited Nanshan Bamboo Sea again and chose this hotel, but the impression it gave me was so-so. First, the hotel is halfway up the mountain, and it is not convenient for elderly people to climb up and down. I saw a small electric car entering and exiting the hotel entrance, but when I asked the staff at the hotel entrance, they said that this was for other surrounding hotels. You are such a big hotel, but you don’t even have an electric car. Maybe this hotel receives business and teams, and model workers recuperate more. I really think it’s so-so for individual guests! Second, the Chinese restaurant in the hotel, because I saw that Dianping had good reviews, I came to eat, and it was convenient. As a result, your rating should be brushed. The receptionist at the door of the restaurant was indifferent. The fish head ranked third on the comments for 198 yuan was not available, only the set meal of more than 400 yuan! The waiter told me that this was the price many years ago and it is no longer available! It is said that Dianping will send roast chicken for checking in, but it must be a 5-star review to send it! To be honest, the waiter in the restaurant was very nice, and the roast chicken was given to me later. I admit that it was delicious, but I don't agree with this practice. I suggest that you go out to eat, the price-performance ratio will be higher! Okay, now let's talk about the good things. When I checked in, the front desk staff was very good and gave me breakfast. Thank you very much! The housekeeper Chen Zuqun was also very caring during the stay and gave me three coffee coupons. Thank you very much! The hotel breakfast and coffee are good. It is very close to Nanshan Bamboo Sea and you can walk there. It is still very convenient. In short, maybe because the hotel has been open for a long time and is relatively old, it may not be as good as I imagined for me, but it is also quite satisfactory!

Guests' cars are parked at the entrance and shuttled by electric carts. The scenery is stunning, with lush forests and bamboo groves creating a truly beautiful atmosphere. Spending money here is definitely worthwhile. This hotel left a deep impression on me. From the rooms and facilities to the service and environment, I was extremely satisfied. The mountaintop hot spring is definitely worth checking out. The villa rooms feature a spacious and bright outdoor soaking pool in the center, and the bedding is very comfortable, featuring many bamboo accents, providing me with a superior resting environment. The hotel facilities are also very complete. The butler, Xiao Rui, was attentive and responsible, answering my questions, helping me book meals, and providing complimentary toiletries. My review: I'll definitely come back next time!

Traveling to Yangzhou with my elderly parents, I chose the Guesthouse (Yingbinguan) based on reviews touting it as the best, opting for the moderately priced Building 11. I initially thought the five-star breakfast would be worth it, so I booked a room with breakfast included. Here's a summary of my experience: 1. The Guesthouse overall is very large with beautiful surroundings. Building 11 is located near the edge of the property, close to a road. Our family room was spacious, but the window faced the street, making it very noisy if opened. Besides being convenient for the hot spring bathhouse downstairs, I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to spend a lot of time in your room. 2. Breakfast for Building 11 is on the first floor. The selection was limited and nothing to recommend. The wontons and noodles tasted like they had been sitting out for a long time. There was no coffee machine, and with only three types of fruit including cucumber and cherry tomatoes, you can tell how subpar it was. At a price of 98, it felt overpriced and I wouldn't recommend booking breakfast. You'd be better off visiting one of the many teahouses nearby. 3. We received complimentary hot spring tickets and chose the Hot Spring Resort, which was excellent and well worth the experience. This was the most satisfying part of our stay. 4. The complimentary travel photoshoot was decent, and the hotel's picturesque scenery made for great photos. If I were to come back to Yangzhou for a vacation again, I'd probably choose to stay at the Hot Spring Resort. 😂

Room: We booked a private hot spring suite. The room was spacious with an outdoor private hot spring pool and a large indoor bathtub. The overall warm tone made for great photos, and the cleanliness was good. The private pool had a step, so it wasn't very deep. While the pool itself was clean, the tiles at the bottom looked a bit old. There was also a large balcony in the room, which wasn't noisy at night. The duvet was very comfortable and breathable (unlike some hotels where the duvets can feel stuffy). I had also noted that it was for my husband's birthday, so the hotel did some simple decorations in the room. Public Hot Spring: The entire process (changing, soaking, showering) was pretty good. There weren't many pools, maybe three or four unique ones. Luckily, it wasn't too crowded this weekend, so the overall comfort level was good. Afternoon Tea: This was included with the suite. It was decent, nothing special but perfectly fine. Breakfast: The taste was generally good, but there's room for improvement. They could enhance the variety and quantity of some dishes. Hotel Surroundings: It's quiet with few people around, and it's very convenient for ordering takeout.
