The onwers of the homestay are very friendly and helpfull. The room was clean, especial the toilet was well equiped and super clean. The homestay located right at the heart of the ancient town, everything is in walking distance, you can strolling around very easily. We stayed here one night, night time and early morning the town was very quiet and beautiful we could explore every part of the town ... so very beautiful!

Khách sạn nằm n*** trong khu phố cổ Zhouzhuang rất tiện lợi. Phòng ốc rất đẹp và sạch sẽ, tôi thường khó ngủ trong khách sạn nhưng ở đây giường và gối rất thoải mái. Bạn nữ nhân viên lễ tân rất nhiệt tình và quan tâm đến tiện y của khách lưu trú, tôi là khách nước ngoài đi một mình và đã nhận được nhiều sự giúp đỡ. Nhờ vậy tôi đã có khoảng thời gian tuyệt vời và tận hưởng cảnh đẹp phố cổ.

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. 

In overall, the hotel is still ok to stay however, the location is quite far to the tourist spots. The location itself is a tourist spot too, coz very near to the double bridge, walkable. And, there is no metro nearby. Others, still acceptable. If you like the kind of vintage Chinese interior room, this is the one.

The owner told me I couldn't check into the room I paid for but he took me to another homestay right on the water. It was a weird experience but I guess it was an upgrade? The owners were accommodating and nice. Lots of bugs, however.

酒店離古鎮景區很近，走過去估計不到200米就是檢票口了，非常方便哦。老闆人很不錯，我們帶着孩子定的標間給升級到家庭房。在這個地段價格比較便宜性價比很高，對價格敏感的首選推薦。不足之處是裝修有些年頭了設施相對有點陳舊，不過價格在那了，和五星級酒店沒法比

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.

The house was empty on my arrival, it was hard to find anyone and check-in. The room was too cold, it took long time to heat it up. The bed is wood hard (for me it was ok, but for some definitely might be a problem). On the good side, the room was clean and location was perfect - just outside the entrance to the antient town.

You could see someone had cleaned the room well before we came. The bathroom is old and has a lot of mold. Don’t look under the bed. Location was good, river view was minimal. Overall okay especially for the price.
