Cheap Hotels in Yangzhou

"Yangzhou Yingbinguan (Yangzhou Xiyuan Hotel) truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier garden hotel in Yangzhou. Spanning over 400 acres, it's a complete Jiangnan-style garden in itself. The environment, location, and exclusive experiences are all top-notch. Even without entering the Slender West Lake scenic area, staying here allows you to enjoy a private part of the lake's scenery. It offers both great value for money and a relaxing atmosphere. **I. Irreplaceable Location Advantage** The hotel is separated from Slender West Lake by a body of water and features an exclusive express通道 for guests. You don't have to queue at the main scenic area entrance; you can walk directly to the core area by the lake. Building No. 1, Shoufanyuan, where we stayed, is the closest building to Slender West Lake in the entire hotel. From the room window, you can see a small patch of lake view with weeping willows, enjoying the scenery of Slender West Lake without even leaving your room. Additionally, Building No. 1 is only a 2-minute walk from the Black Pearl-rated Qüyuan Teahouse, making it incredibly convenient to enjoy authentic Yangzhou morning tea without a long trek through the park. **II. Exclusive Features and Immersive Ambiance** 1. **Commemorative Souvenirs:** You can get exclusive hotel postcards at the front desk, and there are several spots within the garden where you can stamp them as a souvenir. You can also get a custom room key card, which makes for a meaningful travel keepsake. 2. **Explore the Expansive Gardens:** The entire guesthouse is filled with pavilions, waterside terraces, rockeries, and long corridors, with lush greenery everywhere. Every step offers a new view, and you won't get tired even after strolling for half a day. The internal scenery is as exquisite as that of paid gardens. If you get tired of walking in the vast park, you can call for a free shuttle at any time. 3. **Weekend Intangible Cultural Heritage Performances:** On weekends, there are intangible cultural heritage mini-theaters, where you can watch Yangzhou's intangible cultural heritage puppet shows and folk music performances without having to leave the hotel. **III. Living Experience in Building No. 1 (Pros and Cons of the 'Old Cadre Style' Building)** **Pros:** 1. **Rich Historical Heritage:** In its early years, it was exclusively used for official government receptions, showcasing a classic 'old cadre' Chinese style. The solid wood furniture and sophisticated aesthetic are timeless and enduring, looking far from cheap. 2. **Waterside Location:** Surrounded by lush vegetation, the building offers maximum privacy and tranquility, with almost no noise from crowds. 3. **Well-Maintained Rooms:** Although it's an older building, the overall condition isn't outdated. The space is generous, and the bedding and soft furnishings are meticulously maintained. **Sole Drawback:** The bathroom hardware has a noticeable drawback: the shower pressure is low, and the water flow is weak, making for a mediocre experience when washing hair or showering. **IV. Overall Summary** There's a good reason why Yingbinguan consistently receives rave reviews: it boasts private views of Slender West Lake, its own Black Pearl-rated morning tea, vast garden grounds, unique commemorative souvenirs, and a full range of leisure activities. If you prefer a tranquil, retro atmosphere and want to experience the quality of a traditional state guesthouse, Building No. 1 is an excellent choice. The only thing you'll need to adapt to is the low shower pressure. If you're looking for brand-new modern facilities, consider buildings No. 8 or No. 18. For our trip, having already visited Slender West Lake, staying here meant we didn't need to re-enter the scenic area. We could enjoy a comparable lake and garden experience right within the hotel, perfectly meeting our need for a relaxed vacation."

"The room's cleanliness exceeded expectations; there wasn't a single dirty spot. The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and they even provided both soft and firm pillows, ensuring a great night's sleep. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and the water pressure was stable with a full set of toiletries. The TV supported screen mirroring, and the charging outlets were well-distributed. There was also a small sofa by the window, perfect for relaxing and watching the street view at night. The soundproofing was excellent; even though it faced the street, I couldn't hear any noise. Overall, it was simple, clean, and incredibly relaxing and comfortable to stay in."

"The service here is, without a doubt, the best I've ever experienced at any hotel. From the security guards to the cleaning staff and front desk personnel, every single person genuinely seems to care about their work and is incredibly sincere and friendly. The room was a good size, clean, and well-designed. They even provided many thoughtful little amenities that were actually useful. Breakfast was also good. On our first day, we arrived early, and they warmly invited us to the restaurant so we wouldn't be hungry. Our high-speed train arrived quite late, and I was a bit hesitant to ask about a late check-out, but they readily agreed and even helped us plan our time. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Yangzhou!"

"During the summer, Shanghai was packed with tourists, so we decided to leave it to them and wreak some havoc in Yangzhou instead. Our family of four stayed in three different hotels, and this one was by far the best. The service was top-notch. We stayed in a family villa suite with a private hot spring tub where we could adjust the temperature as we pleased – the best part was not having to share it with anyone else! The hotel also has a cute pet park with friendly alpacas and other small animals that you can interact with and feed. The butler for Villa 16 even decorated the tub when he filled it for us, and Sister Luobo was always responsive and answered all our questions promptly. The experience was truly excellent!"

"Our stay this time truly exceeded expectations, and I have to give a special shout-out to Auntie Hu Chuanqin, who was responsible for cleaning our room! She was incredibly thoughtful and observant. Since we had an extra bed added to our room, she immediately realized there were three of us staying. On the day we checked in, not only did she clean the room spotlessly, but she also proactively replenished our water supply. She specifically told me, “I know there are three of you staying, and the original amount of water wouldn't be enough, so I directly put in six bottles for you.” Hearing that instantly warmed my heart! The next day when she came to clean, she maintained the same thoughtful standard. This kind of service, where the guest's needs are genuinely taken to heart, truly makes for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend it to everyone! Plus, when my family was traveling, the door to my parents' room wasn't fully closed when they left, and Auntie Hu specifically came to remind them, which we were very grateful for. Thumbs up for the housekeeping service. The front desk staff were also responsive, always smiling, and very accommodating, which made us very happy. It was a much more pleasant experience than our stay at the Ritz-Carlton last month. We will definitely be back!"

"Convenient for business trips, the room is very spacious at over 30 square meters, offering a view of Mingyue Lake. The hotel is located at Yangzhou International Exhibition Center and provides plenty of free parking, both above ground and underground. The hotel elevator goes directly to the underground garage. The breakfast buffet in the morning was also excellent! Hygiene: Clean and tidy Facilities: Comprehensive Environment: Very good Service: Very good"

"Wonderful high-quality hotel in Yangzhou! Located in a quiet area but very convenient. The room was clean and well-designed, had everything I needed. The bed was extremely comfortable and I enjoyed the view too. The late night noodles was a nice touch, and breakfast was varied and good. Staff service was impeccable and the friendliest of any hotel I've been to (especially 兰兰 and 越越 from the front desk). The ride service to Yangzhoudong train station was also super smooth and quick! Everything about my stay was perfect."

"Excellent! Very satisfied, the facilities are complete. It's great value for money. Getting to Dongguan Street, Ge Garden, and He Garden isn't too far. The front desk service is superb; every time we asked for information, they were incredibly enthusiastic and gave excellent suggestions, even helping us avoid potential issues. It's still quite cold in Yangzhou in the mornings and evenings, though it warms up a bit at noon, and they'd advise us to wear more layers when going out – truly like family. They proactively addressed our needs during our stay and basically solved any problems we had immediately, enhancing our experience. It's really wonderful, five-star rating!"

"I think the Sansheng Hilton offers great value for money, and the service is excellent. I even forgot some clothes, and they contacted me to have them couriered to my home. Before arriving, I called ahead to confirm everything. I ordered one breakfast, and my child, who ate it, said it was very good. The location is very convenient, with many dining options nearby, and taking a taxi out every day wasn't expensive. The pool water was also quite clean. I highly recommend it if you're coming in the off-season, as the prices are very reasonable. Yangzhou has been very hot these past few days, but the hotel's air conditioning worked really well, making it very comfortable."

"The room was spotless and tidy, and the bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a very peaceful night's rest. The staff were friendly, efficient, and provided thoughtful service. I particularly want to praise the hotel's breakfast restaurant. The selection was incredibly rich, offering both Chinese and Western dishes. Hot dishes, pastries, porridges, fruits, and beverages were all plentiful, and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. I had an early start for my itinerary and didn't expect much food available, but to my surprise, the restaurant kept everything fully stocked throughout, with dishes served piping hot. The made-to-order noodle station served authentic flavors, and the waitstaff even proactively helped refill drinks and clear tables, creating a wonderful dining atmosphere. A hearty breakfast definitely started my day on a high note, and the value for money was exceptional. I'll definitely choose this place again for my next stay!"
