Zhouzhuang Mailun Academy Homestay

During our recent stay at this wonderful hotel, we were exceptionally satisfied with every aspect of our experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the hotel staff who came out to meet us at the scenic area entrance and assisted with our luggage. This level of service set the tone for our entire visit. The hotel's décor is stunning, creating a serene and visually pleasing environment. Our room was spacious and beautifully appointed, providing a restful haven where we enjoyed a comfortable night's sleep. It truly is a fantastic place to relax and unwind. One of the highlights of our stay was the delightful afternoon tea, particularly the grain snacks which were so delicious that we requested the hotel staff to help purchase and courier some to Shanghai for us to bring home. Their willingness to accommodate our request added a special touch to our experience. Breakfast at the hotel was another standout. The porridge, in particular, was so delectable that the hotel kindly gave us a pack of the rice used to prepare it. This gesture was much appreciated and spoke volumes about their commitment to guest satisfaction. Overall, our stay at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable and pleasant retreat. If we return to this area, we will undoubtedly choose to stay here again.

Overall an enjoyable and relaxing one night stay at this tiny cosy hotel in Zhouzhuang, for our final leg of our 6 days Suzhou trip. We took a didi over to Zhouzhuang, which was faster and cheaper than I expected, just a little over half an hour. The hotel staff called me the day before to arrange for pick-up near the watertown ticket office. Actually I can't speak Mandarin and their English wasn't too good but we ended up chatting on Wechat as Wechat has a built-in translate function in their chat. So, 15 minutes before we arrive, we just had to let them know on Wechat. And the staff is already waiting for us, helped us with the luggage and guided us through the ticket buying process. You do have to pay for the ¥100 RMB ticket to get into the watertown and the ticket is good for 3 days. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the entrance. I picked this hotel because it was right inside the watertown and it had the ancient Chinese interior, although all the amenities are modern, including a robust and high-tech Kohler smart toilets in each bathroom. There is a nice coffee shop inside the hotel and the coffee shop owner is friendly and takes his coffee craft seriously. The hotel gives you 2 free drinks during your stay and the coffee menu is quite extensive. If the hotel rooms are not booked on that day, we are told the hotel opens their doors to coffee customers. The hotel owner is actually younger than I expected so I am impressed she meticulously created this authentic experience and the attention to detail. She was friendly and helpful and was open to accommodating our needs. We booked the entire 2nd floor, which was 3 bedrooms and we had 6 adults in our group. This tiny hotel only has 3 bedrooms so if you booked all 3 rooms, you pretty much get the entire hotel to yourselves which include the first floor which is spacious and comfy. When I visit Zhouzhuang again, I am looking forward to stay here again. It's certainly not cheap, but you do get what you pay for - which is people passionate about hospitality (in a Chinese way) and also a hygiene and staying experience that is certainly up to international standards.

If I could give more than 5/5 for this place, I would. Cleanliness, service and cultural vibes are unparalleled. I have been to more than 25 countries and never have I felt so much at home away from home. This is a gem I would highly recommend anyone seeking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. The host and her staff gave us home made bread, breakfast, cakes, tea and artisanal coffee. My 12 year old daughter loved it so much she just wanted to stay indoors! Amazing!!

這是愛國教育家沈體蘭的故居，古色古香，書香濃郁，安靜怡人，一塵不染。還送下午茶，店長田長生非常熱情周到，大雨天還親自來接，幫拿行李，代送雨傘，點心做的很好吃，阿姨早餐做的很豐盛，色香味俱全，鱈魚煎的很美味！屋裡很適合拍照，一步一景！推薦帶孩子來！小貓墨蘭很可愛友好！😊

景區門口接站開始，令人愉快的旅程便開始了，小哥哥的服務細心，有温度，不同於以往遇見的民宿，他説，把這裏當成家，不要拘束，需要喝什麼跟我説，我以為是瓶裝飲料提供，沒想到，每一杯出品堪稱藝術品，味覺➕視覺，雙重享受，nice！更沒想到這裏衹有三間客房，竟也有這麼專業的飲品調配師，再説説房間的設施，衞生非常乾淨，酒店陳設很講究，古香古色有氣質，韻味，可以説這兩天待得最多就是民宿內，坐落每一處都會讓你感覺與舊時光的碰撞感，晚上十點後附近的小酒吧變不再歡唱，完全不影響休息，這是一家寶藏民宿，很幸運在攜程遇見它，後會有期，這位小哥哥，也希望再次到來還能遇見你，兩天的相處更像是故人相遇，希望你在民宿工作愉快，一切順利！

民宿超出預期的好。可以説是此行周莊最大的亮點。設施很新很乾凈，小哥哥服務非常熱情到位，大熱天在停車場等我們，幫忙提着行李到民宿。因為天太熱，我們大多數時間都在民宿客廳呆著，小哥哥不間斷的給我們泡茶和咖啡，提供的飲品也很好喝。值得一提的是我們使用沙發床的時候不小心把摺疊腿弄壞了，跟老闆聯繫表示可以賠償，老闆很大氣的説不用了。在此表示十分的感謝。以後有機會會再來入住，也會推薦家人朋友一起來。
