Hot Springs Hotels in Jiangsu, China

I highly recommend this heavenly hotel in Suzhou! It's absolutely the best accommodation experience in Suzhou. The location is impeccable, close to the subway, within walking distance to Shantang Street, and right next to Vientiane Tiandi, making it incredibly convenient for getting around and shopping. The entire hotel brings the classical Suzhou garden aesthetic to the sky. The rooftop sky garden offers beautiful views at every turn, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere. It's a quiet oasis amidst the bustling city, incredibly therapeutic. The guest rooms are stylishly minimalist and high-end, and the cleanliness is meticulous. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation, and all facilities are comprehensive, making for a very comfortable stay. The staff are gentle and attentive, providing a perfect check-in experience. It's an ideal spot for a relaxing vacation with friends in Suzhou. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit; it truly deserves five stars!

第一次住道觀中，很新鮮，易道長非常耐心細心，給我們一路指導，我們是從驛站買票（住宿客人可享受住宿期間80元／人含遊覽車的優惠價，超值）辦好相關手續，坐車上到頂宮，根據易道長指引很快找到辦理入住的房間，辦好入住，選的房間是唯一能打開門看到上山的攝影房，由於最近常州下雨多，來的時候趕上山下陰天山上仙氣飄飄的時間段，雲山霧繞頗有身在仙境的感覺，雖然能見度不高也頗有一番風味，我們提前一天訂好了一人150的餐標，四菜一湯，米飯基本不夠就免費續，吃到了茅山有名的鵝肉還有清蒸鱸魚兩個素菜一大碗（小盆）紫菜雞蛋湯，味道我們吃很可口，感覺很不錯，吃完飯七點半左右，易道長還給我們安排了夜遊講解，文化歷史就着仙氣飄飄的感覺真有種身在仙境中的感受（提醒大家下山上温度普遍比山下低，要帶好保暖的衣服否則容易感冒哦），我們還提前訂了晚上十二點的頭香，這是衹有住宿客户可以享受的福利，真的超級贊，性價比也超級高。 第二天我們還喝到了江蘇省最高海拔的咖啡，配上素麪，感覺真的不錯。 退房前拍了幾張能見度還好的照片，真心推薦大家有機會去體驗一下，感覺超好，下次有機會我們還會再來的。

When we arrived, the dam had been repaired, and we could see the beautiful view of Tianmu Lake from the hotel door. The hotel housekeeper contacted us in advance, and we stayed in the private soup room and gave us fish head vouchers. For other dishes, we ordered black rice and The small bamboo shoots are quite delicious when cooked, and the experience is still very good!

The service at the hotel was excellent, they were polite and very helpful. Any questions that you asked, they answered without hesitation. Overall the staff, were the best if I have to compare with other big and small hotels that I have been to. My friend and I booked the hotel together. The rooms were very very nice. We loved them. It was easy to travel around the resort, they have golf carts that can take you around the resort. So many activities to do there. You need to speak a little bit of Chinese though. But in case you don’t they will find someone to help you there. The hotel package we took included the hot springs, spar and breakfast. It was worth it. The springs are the best. There is also an infinity pool. The people there are very helpful, great service. It was easy to spot two foreigners but they treated us with so much kindness, especially the man and woman at the fish spring and the little cafe there names: 张浩川, 张刘纪 and 彭玉琴. So Hentique hotels and resort is huge. The area and the activities you can do there are plenty. You can get on a helicopter(480rmb), boat(272rmb) it includes going to the islands and mountain hiking, horse riding and many more. You just have to come with a good budget. Breakfast is at the big hotel that has a great view of the lake. Hentique pinecone has different restaurants around, the food is between 100 -300 per person. I suggest you bring snacks because there aren’t any shops close by. The big hotel has a shop where you can buy snacks for a price, and an all day restaurant. We ended up moving from hentique pinecone hotel to the big hotel but paid a little bit more and was worth every penny. The hotel really good, with a nice view, the manager on duty that day August 16th 2023 was the best manager, I forgot his name. His English was very very good. He answered all questions and helped us transfer from 松果 to the big hotel. Having being in China for a long time, this was the best trip ever, with the best service. We will surely go back to this place. Best service ever. Keep up the good work!!!

Overall, it's pretty good. The hot springs are very comfortable, and the facilities are decent. The hygiene is also good, and the staff are all polite. The food, however, is very mediocre, so don't expect much. It's a nice place just for a hot spring soak. As a hot spring hotel, while it emulates Japanese onsen in form, there's still a lot of room for improvement in the details, which I've already discussed with the staff on site. I'd like to add two more points: 1. Please have staff regularly patrol the lounge area. The door to the smoking room needs to be kept closed. Otherwise, it affects the health and relaxation of other guests, as the entire lounge area is an enclosed space, including the smoking room. 2. Mobile phones should be strictly prohibited in the hot spring area and changing rooms. Although there are signs, some visitors just don't pay attention. The scrub attendant was very responsible; she immediately stopped a lady who brought her phone into the hot spring pool. However, she was busy with her own work and couldn't keep an eye on everything. Another three or four people came in as if to sightsee, all dressed and holding their phones. Even though they weren't taking photos, it created psychological pressure for those of us who were naked at the time. I really hope there can be staff to maintain order and ensure no phones are brought in. It's very close to Shanghai, so I can visit frequently for a soak. I hope to see improvements in the details next time.

I booked the Starry Sky room, but it rained. I'm not sure what was going on with the roof, but from morning on, there was a constant dripping sound, like water hitting the canopy. It would drip every now and then, making it hard to sleep. It was the May Day holiday, so there were a lot of guests, but it felt like the hotel lacked a crowd management plan. Breakfast was crowded, but still bearable. The worst experience was dinner. I had planned to eat at the hotel for convenience. However, after ordering, forty minutes passed and not a single dish arrived, while tables that arrived after us were already getting their food. I completely lost it. There was no apology or reassurance during the process, and pushing for our order yielded no results. A very poor experience overall.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! The environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the attention to detail is impressive. I'm so happy to have found such a peaceful retreat in the heart of Suzhou. The service was excellent too, highly recommend! A special thanks to the front desk attendant who helped upgrade us to a lake view room – it made the experience even better!

I've been to the Garden Expo Park many times, and I always choose to stay at the Radisson Collection Resort. This package was an incredible value for money, including lots of complimentary attraction tickets. The hotel even threw in breakfast, which was a really thoughtful touch! The crayfish buffet at night was absolutely delicious, and they also had a zongzi-making activity for the Dragon Boat Festival. On my third morning, I had to leave for work early and couldn't make it to breakfast, so they even packed me some bread to go. I'll definitely keep choosing the Radisson Collection Resort for future visits!

Traveling with elders, we opted for a Banyan Tree Nanjing Garden Expo stay during the off-peak season. The drive from Hangzhou was easy, and the entire trip was incredibly comfortable. **Money-saving tips:** 1. Hotel guests get free admission to the Garden Expo. Plus, you can visit the Thirteen Gardens for free before 3 PM on weekdays. 2. The night light show requires a separate ticket. If you're looking for ambiance, it's worth it, but exploring during the day for free is perfect for a relaxing stroll. **Elder-friendly advantages:** The park's pathways are gentle, and there are plenty of rest areas within the hotel. You don't have to rush through attractions; you can always head back to your room for a rest, which is great for seniors with mobility issues. **Environmental highlights:** 1. **Indoor public areas:** Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows offer direct views of the valley. The interior decor is warm and soft, with numerous seating areas for enjoying the view. 2. **Outdoor landscape:** A multi-level garden built into a cliffside quarry. Exposed concrete architecture blends seamlessly with the rocks, plants, and water features, which are home to black swans. It's a truly picturesque place for a walk. 3. **Design details:** The flowing spiral staircase and the bar with its natural rock wall exude architectural beauty, making it incredibly photogenic. The hotel's grounds are vast, and we only explored a small portion. We're already planning a return trip for a two-night stay to fully experience everything.

I was traveling independently during the Spring Festival, and this hot spring hotel was the one I was most looking forward to, but the actual experience was quite poor. The hot spring didn't feel like an authentic hot spring. The outdoor hot spring would be very cold if the temperature was below 15°C. The so-called private hot spring rooms were just bathtubs connected to the hot spring, which didn't really qualify as private hot springs; you could only soak in hot water. The changing room was a complete mess.
