Yixing Hotels with Breakfast

This was my favorite hotel on our ten-day trip around Taihu Lake. It boasts an exquisite, secluded style, emphasizing a return to simplicity without the need for smart technology. There are no TVs in the rooms, and the curtains are all manual, with keyless entry. But every step was filled with breathtaking beauty. The service was exceptional. The housekeeper asked for our arrival time in advance. We parked in the parking lot and took the electric cart up the mountain. However, since my mother had mobility issues, the cart took us directly to the elevator and even assigned us the room closest to the elevator. The housekeepers were incredibly kind and friendly, smiling every time they greeted us. Since we were staying for several days, we decided to skip housekeeping, so we hung a sign saying ”no housekeeping required.” The housekeepers waited at the door until the housekeeper confirmed we needed towels changed and items replenished. They were incredibly attentive and responsible. The afternoon tea was exquisite, and every dessert was delicious. We didn't want to waste any, so we devoured all three desserts each day. The next day, we were too lazy to go downstairs to the restaurant, so the housekeeper even brought them to our room. The room also included tickets to the Yixing Ceramics Museum, which you could spend a whole day exploring. Besides the history of ceramics and collections from different dynasties, the room also boasts a beautiful museum. There are also numerous works and manuscripts by Gu Jingzhou, which are well worth a visit. However, the museum is quite old, and only one side has an elevator. Some sections require walking up and down stairs, making it difficult for those with mobility issues. During osmanthus season, the fragrance of osmanthus fills the air. Nearby, at the entrance to Longbei Mountain, there are dark-colored osmanthus trees, which are incredibly fragrant. Conversely, at the windy Tao Erchang, apart from the UCCA building and a handmade jewelry shop by an independent designer, everything else exudes an internet celebrity vibe and a cheap feel. It took me five minutes to explore. The only downside to the hotel is the small rooms. I think there are 17 rooms, averaging around 40 to 50 square meters, but it certainly didn't feel cramped. Even when the hotel is full, it's still quiet, perhaps influenced by the surroundings, preventing noise. I'll definitely be back.

This time, I came to a resort hotel deep in the mountains with my family. The environment is so beautiful, like a paradise. I especially like the landscaping design and layout here. It seems that every flower is planted in the right place, elegant but not gaudy. Each pool is a different view. Although I didn't see the blooming irises, it was not easy to appreciate five colors of irises at the same time. This is a hotel that is low-key and luxurious in terms of decoration style and garden design, which left a deep impression on me.

Springtime arrived in beautiful Yixing, and the fresh air, stunning scenery, and relaxing time made everything so wonderful and pleasant. Sanpin Yunlai Inn is located in the Ming and Qing Dynasty ancient town of Yulongtan, a somewhat abandoned scenic area with little commercialism, primarily offering guesthouses. It's said that the buildings here were rebuilt from folk houses in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces, and upon closer inspection, they are quite historically significant. The living room of Sanpin Yunlai Inn, where we stayed, is a traditional Qing Dynasty building, originally designed for a third-rank official, with carved beams and painted rafters. Combined with the owner's artistic interests, the blend of ancient and modern styles is very natural. The guesthouse felt very homey and casual, offering tea, conversation, watching TV series, karaoke, games, and card games – everything was available. We even tried fishing with the owner and actually caught something, which was quite satisfying. There are many restaurants nearby, so you can try them one by one; the food is all quite good.

The property is so beautiful and comfortable. Every inch is a well designed aesthetic scene with tasteful decor and gardening outside (some bits left to be natural and wild, attracting butterflies) the team is super helpful and nice- always reachable and happy to help. The location is not as remote as one could wish, but this means you have easy access to some beautiful walks in the bamboo sea and the older towns. The cafe does get busy in the late mornings but early morning and evenings are incredibly peaceful. Coming back to the comfortable rooms and hot showers from a hike is a great feeling. A place truly run with so much passion and hard work! I will come back in the autumn or cold weather one day.

Fantastic hotel! It made my visit to Yixing extra enjoyable. The room looks exactly like description and very clean. The staff from front desk to housekeeping are very friendly and helpful, makes your feel like home. The resort is huge but the drivers are always there to bring you around to other parts of the property. The bathroom is so clean and smells nice all the time. Beds and pillows are comfortable too. It is really one of the best hotel I have stayed in. Breakfast was delicious and the Chinese restaurant in the main hotel sets very high standard. What a lovely room to go back to after a long and tiring day from 竹海 and 瑶湖小镇. By the way, it’s easy to grab Didi from the resort.

We got a free room upgrade, and it was really spacious with a well-designed bathroom. The afternoon tea that came with our package was great; the staff member was so attentive to the kids and even customized their drinks. The kids' play area and pottery making were a lot of fun. Breakfast was plentiful, and the dining area was huge, so it never felt crowded even with many people. Room service was very prompt and responsive to all our needs, especially with the kids. There's a shuttle bus to Yaohu Town and the water park, and as a guest, we had unlimited access, which made for a very enjoyable holiday. We'll definitely stay here again next time!

The hotel has its own underground parking lot and a wedding banquet hall on the first floor. The hotel is soundproofed and had a good night's sleep in Yixing. The hotel has its own design and decoration style. There are four-star quality but some small shortcomings, the bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is separated, and there is a separate bathtub. But there is no wardrobe, there are hanging hangers instead, and the room layout is still a bit compact. The breakfast is a combination of Chinese and Western, the category is completely enough to eat, and the taste is good. I don't know why the hotel corridor and room have a milk smell 😂 haha

The front desk lady was quite welcoming and patient, but here are some complaints. On our first day, the hotel's cleanliness left much to be desired. First, the tea leaves from the previous guest were still in the teapot, still warm (though we didn't use them, leaving them on the coffee table was a bit unacceptable). Second, the cups in the room hadn't been cleaned, with obvious stains from the previous guest's coffee or tea still dried on the sides (we usually bring our own cups, but we inevitably used them, which was quite disconcerting). I thought they'd be checked and cleaned the next day, but they still weren't. After our two-day stay, the room wasn't even cleaned or replaced after cleaning on the second day. Luckily, we brought our own, otherwise it would have been embarrassing to find out there was no paper when we went to the bathroom. 😅 Since the hotel also caters to restaurants, leaving the windows open after check-in is not recommended. There's a restaurant next door, which is loud with music during the day and smells of cooking smoke. My personal recommendation is that if you're traveling by car to Yixing, choose a hotel close to the city center. Most scenic spots are in the suburbs, and you'll need to take a taxi or drive anyway. There's no need to choose a suburban location for a one-time visit. Eating out is also inconvenient, and you'll usually have to drive over 20 minutes to the city center. The city center is more convenient for those who travel back and forth.

Good facilities, good environment, good health, very quiet, very good, next time you should probably come, maybe consider staying here again, eat a lot downstairs, not bad

A newly opened hotel in October, the price is very good. There were mosquitoes at night. After fighting mosquitoes all night, the hotel took the initiative to upgrade our room. Will stay here next time! Convenient transportation!
