Guyunfeng Hotel

Jeg så dette homestay i Zhouzhuang på Ctrip. Billederne og anmeldelserne var meget gode, så jeg bookede det. Da jeg ankom, hilste ejeren mig meget varmt velkommen. Værelset var godt lydisoleret. Jeg havde ikke forventet, at det ville være så stille, selvom det ligger i turistcentret og ved floden. Sengen var også meget behagelig. Det regnede den næste dag, og ejeren lånte mig to paraplyer. Da jeg tog afsted, leverede han dem til indgangen til det naturskønne område. Betjeningen var meget betænksom. Jeg kan varmt anbefale det!

The inn is located in the scenic area, so you must purchase a ticket first (it cost around 200++ rmb to enter the main gate and access most of the attractions inside, such as the antique mansions of Mr Shen and Mr Chang, etc). Lady boss and boss are very friendly. Lady boss actively helped me carrying my luggage up the second floor and helped me booking a private transfer to Shanghai Pudong International Airport for the next morning. The room that I booked had an antique bed, so pretty! The room is small, but it is as per advertised in trip.com and what I booked for, and it is enough room to open my cabin luggage. There are chairs and table and tea cup set next to the window to see the small river outside. Bathroom are clean and hot water flows easily. You can see boats pass through the river, very scenic. The river town overall is very charming, the water is emerald green and clean (I can see through the stones below). You can rent a boat. It is 220 rmb per boat, so if you want cheaper should find other people to rent together and share the cost. The antique mansions are so pretty and historical, it is included in the ticket purchased to enter the scenic area. But if you want to acccess the second floor of Mr Shen's mansion, need to purchase a separate ticket for 30 rmb. The key bridge is charming and next to it is a restaurant with delicious food. The alleys are less people in the hot afternoon so it feels more peaceful than in busy Suzhou or Nanjing. But when night comes, it is the same lively and busy. And lastly, you should not miss the performance "Zhouzhuang in All Seasons" (只此周庄). No designated seat because it is an immersive theater, you walk along several sites to experience transmigrated into ancient Zhouzhuang. Very fun and rcommended! Oh and when I leave the next day, lady boss kindly gave some snacks to eat along the way. Thank you!

The owner is super friendly and very very helpful. Impressive level of service. He helped us to pay in advance when we had some issues with our payment system. The view from the room is so beautiful and mesmerising. Definitely stay here again if I come to Kushan. Wonderful hospitality. The pictures will speak for itself.
