Hotels with Bars in Taicang

This hotel is only 700 meters from Taicang South Station, and it's a quick 20-minute ride from Hongqiao High-speed Rail, making it feel like Shanghai's backyard. Xiao Ru, a staff member, added me on WeChat beforehand and efficiently walked me through the activity schedule and various programs available on the mini-program. This allowed us to plan our kids' activities in advance. We went skiing in the afternoon. After dinner, around 7 PM, we hit the 'Snow Fun' area (the three-person 'Snow Fun' ticket was bundled with our hotel room package, which was a great deal). The hotel and ski resort are right next to each other, and there's even a little train shuttle service from the high-speed rail station to the hotel. The convenience factor is absolutely top-notch, making it super easy to just play and have fun. The breakfast was excellent. When we checked out, Xiao Ru even gave the kids Club Med mascots, which they absolutely loved!

The hotel has its own onsen area that's open to non-hotel guests. So the entrance starts with the shoe cabinets before reaching the front desk that serves both onsen day-use guests and hotel guests. The Japanese themed room was luxurious. Very clean and impeccably maintained, good sound proofing I could hear a pin drop in the room. Double basins, Dyson hair dryer, bidet toilet bowl, standing shower and a huge zen sofa couch area by the window, complete with tea and chess set. Pity there's not much of a view out there. There's also no phone here, just a speaker by the bedside table or one can use WeChat to communicate with the front desk and of course robot deliveries. Bed and pillow was too soft for my liking. Service is excellent and they even provide turn down service. I left the room for onsen and came back to a room where the curtains are drawn, a plate of fruits on the table, floor towel laid out in the shower area with the bath towel, originally under the basin, now hung on the door of the shower. The stay package came with an Afternoon Tea set of fruits, desserts and crackers. The cheesecakes were meh but the pineapple tart made up for it. Fruits were fresh and yums. In-house guests were given unlimited access to the Onsen and I took my time to enjoy it fully. It's a full Jap style onsen, meaning going fully naked. A rather small onsen with just 3 pools but the outdoor one was the best, soaking in 43 degrees pool in the cold. There's a chill out area outside including a lounge, meditation room and a movie-cum-reading room (what an irony though). They also have private onsen rooms for rent at additional costs. Leisurely breakfast the next morning at 930am. Yes, I had to choose a specific hour to be at breakfast as it's a Jap bento set with a partial buffet (of noodles and porridge). Not outstanding for me. But otherwise, it was 5* experience and I recommend this to anyone planning to come to Taicang to experience the onsen.

I didn't want to go too far because of traffic jams during the holidays, so I chose to come to Taicang. There was a road under construction nearby, so I didn't have high expectations and just wanted to find a place to daze and bask in the sun. The result was full of surprises, and I was really moved by this warm place. Facilities: very new, the bed was very comfortable to sleep on; Hygiene: clean and refreshing, dry and wet separation; Environment: It not only retains the original ecology of the countryside, but also is full of literary and artistic atmosphere; Service: Every staff member I met will greet me enthusiastically, and will take the initiative to ask if I want to join the activities together, which is very warm. The most surprising thing is the evening activity, a very healing bonfire party, someone sang folk songs, I was embarrassed to join at first, the staff took the initiative to pull me over to sit, and also gave me a cup of sweet rice wine soup, and the sister next to me played the drums, I really like this atmosphere. I booked a room for May Day again, and I came again

Initially, after booking, I was a bit concerned seeing the mixed reviews on Ctrip, but after checking in, I actually found it to be pretty good. First of all, the day before arrival, customer service reached out to ask for our license plate number. They also added us on WeChat to send over the address, important instructions, and the necessary pass for Seventy-Two Villages. We arrived in the afternoon, and our room was still being prepared. While we waited, they kindly offered us complimentary soft drinks. We stayed in a LOFT room, which was perfect for our group of three adults and one child, with the addition of a tatami mat. The room offered a pleasant view of the fields. The room key was an old-fashioned type; you had to manually lock the door after closing it, otherwise, it could be opened from the outside. You also needed to lock it from the outside when leaving the room. This system felt a bit dated and could definitely be improved. On the LOFT level, the common area in the lobby featured an automatic mahjong table, which is great for larger groups. The central air conditioning in the room was quite loud, which I found difficult to get used to, and I barely slept the first night. By the second day, I had adjusted to the noise, but the AC was too cold. Even after adjusting the temperature upwards and changing the fan speed, it didn't make much of a difference. Upon check-out, they also gave us complimentary bottled water and a frog toy for the child, which was a very thoughtful gesture. The butler/concierge service is available until 9 PM, so if you need anything, it's best to contact customer service via WeChat earlier in the day.

Maritim Garden Hotel is a top choice for business travelers. Located in the city center, it boasts a quiet surrounding environment, an impressive lobby, and efficient and professional check-in service from Sabrina at the front desk. The room I stayed in was bright and clean, with a comfortable mattress and complete amenities. The hotel values ​​guest feedback and their recommended tourist attractions were excellent. Overall, a very good experience! 👍
