Tongxiang Hotels with Breakfast

This hotel, built on the former site of Yida Silk Factory, is a sight to behold in itself. Tucked away in the heart of the town, it offers a serene and beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle. With the help of our lovely butler, check-in and check-out were incredibly smooth. Following video instructions, we arrived at the Wuzhen parking garage where our butler was already waiting for us, instantly easing any apprehension about visiting a new place for the first time. After entering the scenic area, we took a boat through the entirety of Wuzhen to reach the hotel, truly experiencing the unique charm of a Jiangnan water town from the water. The hotel's butler service truly lives up to its name; unlike many hotels with WeChat concierges who are often slow to respond, every request here was met with an immediate and efficient reply, which was incredibly warm and thoughtful. All in all, I highly recommend Yida as a five-star hotel in Wuzhen. It was definitely the highlight of our perfect trip to Wuzhen! My only regret is not asking for the name of our young, enthusiastic, and very helpful butler. I wish her all the best!

For our two-night stay in Wuzhen, we chose 'Jintang'. Upon arrival at the scenic area, we were greeted by the handsome and steady 'Xiao Fan' at the entrance. He arranged a sculling boat for us, which took us along the waterway directly to Jintang. Pushing open the two-story antique wooden doors, we were met with a striking combination of vermillion and emerald green. It was a perfect blend of the ancient and the modern. As I savored a cup of crimson hibiscus tea, Xiao Fan had already completed our check-in. He also set up our facial recognition for entering and exiting the scenic area. Xiao Fan then led us through the hall and around the landscape to our room. The room featured dark green wallpaper adorned with plum blossoms, complementing a vermillion bronze bed. With the tea snacks and afternoon tea on the table, accompanied by refreshing green tea, our three-day Wuzhen journey officially began. A big thank you to the thoughtful service from the lovely ladies and gentlemen at Jintang, and especially to Xiao Fan!

I’ve never written a review after a trip before, but this time I’ve decided to seriously review every hotel I've stayed in. This is to give future guests more reliable information, as choosing hotels was the most time-consuming and effort-intensive part of planning this trip. Guest reviews were crucial for my decision-making, so I hope to help others in the same way. This was by far the most satisfying hotel of my entire trip, exceeding my expectations and definitely worth the money. Before arrival, a butler contacted me to ask for my arrival time and waited for me in the parking lot. They guided me into the scenic area and even provided a boat service to the hotel, allowing me to enjoy the scenery along the way – a wonderful start to my stay. The hotel lobby was incredibly stylish, truly giving off the vibe of entering a grand, opulent estate. The views were also fantastic, and the service was beyond words. Check-in was handled entirely by the butler, while I simply relaxed and enjoyed some tea. Breakfast was a la carte, unlimited, with a wide variety of choices, and the quality was excellent; everything was exquisitely prepared with good ingredients. The room design was very thoughtful and considerate, and they even prepared foot bath water for me. The butler was always available to arrange anything I needed. The Dan Cha Fan restaurant directly opposite the hotel was also very good. With views right from the window, enjoying a meal there was a truly great experience. If you’re not concerned about budget and prioritize quality, you should definitely choose this hotel. Its location is also very convenient. All in all, this isn't just one of the best hotels from this trip, but one of the few truly satisfying hotels I’ve stayed in across many travels.

The service was exceptional, from being picked up at the parking lot to the smooth check-in process at the hotel. After check-out, we were also driven back to the parking lot. The hotel is quiet and elegant, and the rooms are very spacious. Most other hotels within the scenic area are quite small, so I chose this one and wasn't disappointed. We could see the tributary from the balcony, and my child even chatted with the old man cleaning the river. Overall, the stay was fantastic. The only issue was the sticky, squeaking sound the disposable slippers made on the tiled floor, especially at night, which disturbed my family's sleep. I'm not sure if it was the slippers or the floor, perhaps the floor cleaner wasn't rinsed properly. Also, the morning dim sum experience was just average; there wasn't much good food, and it was hard to find a seat. I assume the hotel's breakfast would have been better.

I was very satisfied with my stay. The room was clean and tidy, and the breakfast offered a rich variety of options. Some of the chefs also spoke English, which was a plus. It would be even better if the menu for dishes and drinks included English translations. The hotel's proximity to the high-speed rail station made getting around incredibly convenient.

The hotel's location is excellent, just a few hundred meters from Wuzhen Xizha, and easy to find right off the road, which is great for self-driving with convenient parking. The hotel's decor also features a traditional ancient town style, with a 'National Charm Garden' feel where every step reveals a new beautiful scene. There's a pomelo tree in front with lots of large fruits! The room was quite spacious, clean, and warm! The landlady and staff were all very warm and hospitable! I'll definitely come back next time!

Overall, I'd say it was just okay. The facilities were decent, but the management was a mess. Check-in & Transportation: All guesthouses and hotels require check-in at the visitor center, which was quite inefficient. We arrived at 11:30 AM and had to queue for about 30 minutes. Thankfully, it was cool inside. After checking in, we still had to wait for the scenic shuttle bus. We got there at 12 PM and waited a solid half hour to get on – clearly, there wasn't enough capacity. Waiting under the blazing sun was a big thumbs down. Location & Facilities: The hotel is tucked away in the furthest corner of the scenic area, not as conveniently located as the guesthouses by the river. However, the hotel breakfast was quite good, and swimming was very convenient (even guesthouse guests could use the pool). On another note, some areas within the scenic spot are still under construction, which was a bit of a mood killer and noisy at times. Performances: The main event in the evening was the 'Meng Hualu' show, divided into three parts. The first part had actors lip-syncing, which was really distracting. The second part was acrobatics, which was decent, but they suddenly changed performance venues. You needed to be strong and fit to get there, and small children wouldn't be able to see anything. The third part, 'Dah Tie Hua' (iron flower show), also moved venues again, and if you were short, you couldn't see a thing. Management & Service: What really needs complaining about is the on-site management of the scenic area. The day we checked out, we were waiting for the shuttle bus at the exit during high temperatures. There were not only too few buses but also complete disarray, leading to arguments among tourists over cutting in line. In the end, we had no choice but to walk to the parking garage, where we found a completely empty bus just sitting there, waiting only for inbound tourists to fill up before departing, completely disregarding the feelings of guests leaving the park. It's a new scenic area, so it's still a work in progress.

The room was spotlessly clean and bright. The ambiance was elegant and inviting, with well-appointed facilities. The service was attentive and thoughtful, and the owner was incredibly warm, helpful, and personable. I would highly recommend this place to all my friends.

I booked the courtyard view room for a three-day, two-night stay, and for a staycation, it was a bit disappointing. Service: The hotel didn't offer a butler service, and no one informed us about the available activities. I had to ask about the travel photography, and only stumbled upon the tie-dye activity by chance. I have no idea what else there might have been. The welcome fruit in the room was just the three items shown in the picture, not the nougat and tea mentioned in other reviews. Maybe my membership tier wasn't high enough? >_< There was no pre-departure call, but I did receive a call asking for feedback after checking out. For the travel photography, they offered 5 free photos, and additional ones were 80 yuan each, with discounts for bulk purchases. The photographer did a good job. However, the 'fine-tuning' felt like a one-click edit; a hole in the umbrella prop was still visible in the retouched photos, which was quite sloppy >_<. When I inquired about buying all the original photos, I was told it was also 80 yuan per photo, so I decided against it. In the end, I bought 35 photos and got a 15% discount. On the positive side, The hotel itself is beautiful and very photogenic. The Sanbai Bar has a great atmosphere and isn't crowded. You can charge drinks to your room, and in-house guests get a 10% discount. Breakfast variety was also quite good, with cheese, ham, and salmon available. Several made-to-order items were offered à la carte, which helped avoid queues.

The hotel is in a very good location, it's nice and quiet. It is near the scienic area entrance and the parking lot. It took us less than 5min to walk to the hotel. We have to check in at the Zicha visitor centre. Staff is friendly and polite even their English speaking is very limited. They went out of their way to help and give us enough information for our trip. The hotel is a bit old but still well maintained. The bed is comfy and the room is very clean, the shower pressure is good as well. I took the packages which is including unlimited access to the water town and the shuttle bus driving us to the other end of the water town. I used it on the way back as I was tired to walk back. The only negative point is the breakfast is very plain as they don't have many choices. They did'nt even served the coffee. However we can go inside the water town to enjoy the local breakfast with the lovely vibe. Overall I am quite happy with it as my main trip is to explore the water town in the evening and early morning. I am not hesitated to recommend this hotel to my family and friends.
