chambre d’hôtes de Jiangsu, Chine

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. 

Nous avons réservé la chambre familiale avec 2 chambres à coucher pour notre voyage en Nanjing et l'hôtel n'est pas vraiment décevant. L'hôtel est très propre et proche des attractions de Laomendong. Toutes sont à pied. Les attractions proches sont également très nombreuses et facilement accessibles à courte distance. La nourriture et le restaurant ne sont pas un problème. La chambre dispose de toutes les installations et, surtout, de lave-linge gratuite, ce qui est important pour mon voyage familial pendant de longues journées, car nous n'avons pas besoin de porter beaucoup de vêtements. Le propriétaire est amiable et a donné des suggestions à nos lieux de visite aussi. Le petit déjeuner est inclus. Même si simple, assez bon pour commencer pour la journée sans avoir à chercher de la nourriture avant de sortir. En général, une bonne et agréable expérience avec notre séjour.

L'hôtel se trouve sur Ping Jiang Road, juste à côté de la rivière, ce qui permet d'accéder facilement au quartier commerçant. Vous trouverez également des restaurants à quelques pas. Notez qu'étant situé au bord de la rivière, là où les voitures ne peuvent généralement pas accéder, vous devrez probablement descendre sur la route principale et marcher environ 5 minutes jusqu'à l'hôtel. Cet hôtel peut ne pas convenir aux groupes avec de jeunes enfants, des bagages volumineux ou aux personnes âgées. L'hôtel lui-même est vraiment charmant. Vous serez accueilli par un personnel chaleureux et sympathique, qui se fera un plaisir de vous aider avec vos bagages ou de vous donner des conseils sur la région. Il n'y a pas d'ascenseur, vous devrez donc porter vos bagages jusqu'aux chambres du 1er ou du 2e étage (le personnel m'a aidé avec les miens). La chambre est très propre et les équipements sont neufs. Les toilettes sont également neuves avec chasse d'eau automatique. Les portes des toilettes et de la salle de bain sont cependant translucides. On ne voit pas ce que fait la personne à l'intérieur, mais la lumière passe au travers ; il n'est donc pas conseillé de partager la chambre avec une autre personne sensible à la lumière, surtout la nuit. Sinon, tout le reste est parfait à cet endroit.

Je suis souvent venu sans visite, cette fois, j'ai choisi cette maison proche. Les installations sont beaucoup plus bonnes que les gens en général. Il y a différents types de nourriture en dessous. Le loisir est également complet. Dans d'autres maisons qui vivent ici avant, il n'y a pas de magasin de porte, il n'y a pas de bon travail, le service ne se sent pas bien, cette maison a un magasin de porte, La position est très bonne à trouver, le service est super bon, il y a une demande, la chambre est propre et propre. Cela vaut la peine de recommander 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

C'est tellement beau. Le vieux manoir a été récemment entretenu. Chaque recoin de l'intérieur m'a surpris. Il est plein d'odeurs de livres. Nous avons bu le thé de l'après-midi lentement et lu des livres au B&B pendant tout l'après-midi. vraiment satisfait. Nous avons reçu un invité de bienvenue à notre arrivée. Fruits, café, thé, thé de l'après-midi, vin rouge, soupe de poulet à la noix de coco, petit-déjeuner, souvenirs. Merci frère Ours pour votre hospitalité chaleureuse, en nous aidant à récupérer et à transporter nos bagages. , nous présentant et nous conduisant au restaurant, le plus beau B&B.

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Racha Mankha, and I can’t recommend it enough! This hotel is a hidden gem, offering a secluded and quiet retreat that truly embodies peace and relaxation. The ambiance is simply delightful, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. One of the highlights of my stay was the food. I can confidently say that the Thai cuisine here is some of the best I’ve ever had in Nanjing! Each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Additionally, I indulged in their Thai massage services, and it was an absolute must-try! The skilled therapists provided a rejuvenating experience that left me feeling refreshed and relaxed. While the area may not have as many tourist attractions as other parts of Nanjing, the tranquility and quality of service at Racha Mankha more than make up for it. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with fantastic food and pampering, this is the place to be!

Xiao Liu, the inn owner, is extremely polite, helpful, friendly, and reliable. The place is very comfortable, reasonably priced, and in a great location. All the staff were genuinely warm and welcoming. We loved the place so much and truly regretted staying for only one night. From the moment we arrived, we didn’t feel like strangers at all—it felt like being with family. Everyone treated us with sincerity and went out of their way to help. Xiao Liu patiently answered all our questions and even drove us to buy fireworks. He waited for us and later joined us to play the fireworks at night, even though we had already checked out. He kindly allowed us to leave our large luggage with him during the day, which we really appreciated. The place is exactly as shown in the photos—no overly edited pictures with disappointing reality. Everything was authentic and exceeded our expectations. We also enjoyed a hotpot dinner at the inn, and it was fresh and delicious. The food is truly a must-try, including their coffee. Everything was excellent, with no doubts about quality. I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to visit Wuxi again. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family, as well as 德福楼, the restaurant recommended by Xiao Liu. The food there is authentic, delicious, and truly represents Wuxi cuisine. They also helped us with tickets to the Lingshan Big Buddha. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for more—the restaurant owner assisted us with the entrance tickets, and a tour guide even drove us to Lingshan Big Buddha and guided us there, all without any extra charges. Everyone was incredibly kind and generous. If you plan to buy joss sticks and candles, there’s a shop right beside the restaurant with very reasonable prices—absolutely no regrets. Thank you, Xiao Liu, for your outstanding hospitality. It’s such a pity we didn’t have enough time to visit your sister’s café, but we would love to visit again next time.

Le style populaire est un design élégant du vent chinois, un petit salon plein d'humour culturel, très attrayant. Vous pouvez chater dans le petit jardin, vous pouvez acheter des vêtements plus agréables, aussi romantique que plein de fumées. Les attractions et les repas de la part de la population sont très proches, et ils peuvent se sentir très aimés par la ville de Suzhou. La position du village est excellente, il faut quelques minutes à pied de la station de métro. Et près des attractions touristiques et de la carte, il y a aussi des cafés, des boutiques de confort et de tous les types de restaurants, des clients confortables; le lieu est entre les jolies, tranquille et le prix approprié, il est absolument recommandé.
