Pet Friendly Hotels in Kunshan

I don’t think I could ever give this hotel enough praise. The rooms were beautiful as was the location and scenery. Cleanliness was a 10 out of 10, but what especially amazed me was how friendly and diligent the staff were. They were so kind, offering me free fruit and other snacks. One staff member gave me restaurant recommendations. I plan on staying here again in the future and would recommend it to any solo travelers or couples looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway. 

We were very happy that the room we stayed in was very nice and comfortable. This place has a beautiful garden, but unfortunately, we didn't have time to sit in this nice courtyard to enjoy it. There is a nice restaurant linked to this small hotel, we ate our simple dinner there, food is good and cheap. Highly recommended!. Fyi, we have very little interaction with the owners/care-taker (as I only stayed there for 1 night).

The housekeeper service of the homestay is very good, waiting for us directly at the entrance of the scenic spot. We booked a private courtyard with 3 beds. There are exactly 3 generations of us, and we don’t affect each other. The decoration shows that the owner has put a lot of thought into it. The sanitation is also very clean. The elderly like the decorations in the room very much. They are all nostalgic and can talk about the past with their children. There is a small courtyard outside where you can smoke and drink tea. I am very satisfied with this trip. Next time I go to Zhouzhuang, I will book Huafang Mingsu.

I chose Fengyuantang Courtyard B&B for my trip to Zhouzhuang Ancient Town, and I genuinely feel it was the right choice. Here are my honest thoughts. First, the location: the B&B is nestled in a quiet spot within the bustling ancient town, making access very convenient. It was so relaxing to stroll back to our accommodation after enjoying the night views. It's truly hassle-free. The B&B itself is the old Fengyuantang residence, a preserved Qing Dynasty building that is also a listed historic building in Kunshan. It's a typical Jiangnan ancient dwelling with black tiles, wooden windows, carved gate towers, and veranda eaves – every detail exudes the charm of old Jiangnan. Although the B&B was converted from a hundred-year-old house, the interior completely lacks the dampness and dated feel often found in old buildings. The living comfort is very high; it retains only the unique rustic tranquility of an ancient building, making for a serene and comfortable stay. The owners spent over a year meticulously renovating it. The courtyard features several beautiful miniature landscapes, from stone paths and pomegranate trees to lush greenery. There are also swings, stone tables, and benches. On rainy days, raindrops falling from the eaves, combined with the red lanterns, create a particularly atmospheric scene. Every corner is picturesque, perfect for photos, and simply sitting in the courtyard, sipping tea, and unwinding is incredibly peaceful. Both nights of my stay happened to be during the Jiangnan plum rain season, and experiencing the misty Jiangnan atmosphere within the old house was truly unique and evocative. Both the owner and his wife are incredibly warm and attentive, treating guests kindly and genuinely, without any sense of distance. Breakfast is a simple, authentic Jiangnan home-style meal: white porridge with fried dough sticks, corn, eggs, and refreshing side dishes – light and palatable, just right to fill up before exploring the ancient town. The entire B&B is immaculately clean. The ancient building has been comfortably renovated while retaining its original charm. The courtyard offers a new picturesque view at every turn, the service is thoughtful, and getting around is convenient. My stay this time was a perfect 10, and I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Zhouzhuang. I sincerely recommend it to anyone looking for a slow and immersive stay in the ancient town!

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. 

The environment of this guesthouse is truly exceptional, nestled in a peaceful village. Stepping outside, you can immediately feel the simple and natural rural atmosphere. The village itself is perfect for a leisurely stroll, enjoying the scenery along the way and letting your mind relax. The guesthouse also features a swimming pool. Although it's not a heated pool and not currently in use, which is a bit of a shame, I can just imagine how wonderful it would be to swim and sunbathe here in the summer. Additionally, dining is incredibly convenient, with hotpot and Chinese restaurants nearby, offering delicious hot meals just a short walk away. The most pleasant surprise was being able to order takeout smoothly even in this rural location – a perfect blend of modern convenience and the tranquility of a traditional village. I had originally hoped to book a room for ***** New Year's Eve, but it was already fully booked, which is a real pity. The guesthouse manager mentioned that there will be many lively activities in the village during the Spring Festival that guests can participate in, which is very thoughtful. I guess I'll have to wait until summer to visit then!

The boss and his family who changed to live here temporarily in the middle of the night were very enthusiastic. Xixi and Mumu were more enthusiastic and came directly to my room happy and very clingy. The child is very happy and I am happier. It rains and the aunt also helps me to bring the drying clothes in. Thank you. Recommended Zhenhe B&B is humid and cannot be avoided.

I arrived at 8 p.m., but they picked me up at the parking lot after I dropped off my taxi, making it a comfortable stay. It was almost right past the ticket office, which was really convenient if you have a lot of luggage. The room was spacious and clean, and the terrace offered a beautiful view. It was hot in the middle of summer, so I couldn't stay outside for long, but I think it would be nice to have tea in the spring and fall. The air conditioning worked well. When I took a taxi back to Shanghai, they even took me to the taxi stand, so I was able to enjoy the ride comfortably even in the blazing sun. This was my second visit to Zhouzhang, but I felt so comfortable and relaxed that I'd like to come back again, alone, and stay a day or two.

The location is excellent, just next to Shen Wansan Shuiyu, very close to the entrance of the ancient town. The price is there, and the facilities, sanitation and environment need to be improved. The toilet setting of the single bathroom is not convenient, and the toilet can be sideways. The overall price is better.

We arrived at Zhouzhuang in the middle of Typhoon BeBinca. The host bring out umbrella all the way from her place to our car park. We were all drenched nevertheless because the strong wind and heavy rain. At night when most restaurants were closed due to the typhoon she still called a friend who owns a local restaurant to check on whether her restaurant is open and helped us to order dinner. She also helped to carry our luggage on her scooter to Zhouzhuang entrance on the next when we checked out. Very friendly and helpful host. Her place is small but the view looking out at the river is superb.
