"Tijdens de meivakantie, geïnspireerd door de dichter Li Bai, besloten we met het gezin de charme van Yangzhou in maart te ervaren. Na eerdere bezoeken aan het Xihu State Guesthouse in Hangzhou en het Donghu Hotel in Wuhan, was het dit keer in Guangling vanzelfsprekend om het #YangzhouGuesthouse aan de Slanke Westmeer te ervaren. Het hotel bestaat uit 15 gebouwen, verspreid over meer dan 26 hectare tuin. We kozen voor gebouw 8, Fufangyuan, om twee belangrijke redenen: ten eerste ligt het centraal in het hotel en dicht bij de Slanke Westmeer; ten t****e bevindt zich een van de slechts twee Michelin-sterrenrestaurants van Yangzhou, #QuyuanTeahouse, ernaast en het andere, #MountainRestaurant, eronder. Voor liefhebbers van de #Huaiyangkeuken is dit een absolute zegen. We boekten de Shanyue Landschapszichtkamer. De kamerindeling was netjes, de Bulgari toiletartikelen waren van goede kwaliteit, en bij de avondservice kregen we lokale drankjes en snacks. Het weelderige uitzicht vanuit het raam was verfrissend. De service van het hotel was gemiddeld. Er is een pendeldienst in het park die je gemakkelijk naar de hotsprings, het zwembad en de restaurants brengt. Het landschapspark kan zich meten met dat van het Xihu State Guesthouse. De speciale activiteiten variëren dagelijks en er is zelfs visvoer en eendenvoer voor de kinderen, wat een leuke extra is. Het hotel heeft een kleine poort die direct toegang geeft tot het #SlankeWestmeer-gebied, hoewel je zelf tickets moet kopen. Al met al is het Yangzhou Guesthouse een uitstekend hotel voor een gezinsvakantie. Op doordeweekse dagen zou ik het ten zeerste aanbevelen, maar tijdens de vakantie drievoudig de prijs betalen... nou ja, misschien is dat mijn probleem."

"Goede dienst."

"goede dienst, schoon"

"De kamer was ruime, de Bfast heeft veel keuzes van het westen tot de plaatselijke speciale. Het personeel was vriendelijk en handig om ons de richtingen te geven naar de plaatsen die we willen gaan."

"De kamer heeft nog tapijt dit is old school en noet hygiënisch. Het Michelinrestaurant kan ik warm aanbevelen."

"We hadden een geweldige tijd in dit hotel te blijven, het voelen zeer tevreden met alles, van de grootte en schoonheid van de kamers, de comfort van de locatie, en de gastvrijheid van alle personeel. Bedankt voor het bezoek aan Jiu Yue (september) en Cheng Zi (子)."

"I’ve never left a bad review before, but this time I have to! I booked a 3-night stay at the 'Holiday Inn Express Yangzhou Slender West Lake (Dongguan Street)' from March 19th to 22nd through Trip.com. The hotel entrance looked quite grand, giving off a high-end impression at first glance, and the price was quite steep too. But it was truly awful! Friends, it’s a case of a beautiful exterior hiding a rotten interior. First, to be fair, the room size was decent, but the bed was very small and narrow, and the facilities were terrible. There was only one tiny bedside table, placed between the two small beds. The door stopper was broken and unusable, so I couldn't open the door for ventilation. The bathroom didn't even have a small hand towel; I had to use paper towels to wipe up any water, and there was no exhaust fan. After a shower, it felt like a public bathhouse, muggy and humid. There was no screen on the window, so I didn't dare open it for fear of mosquitos flying in. Also, the breakfast selection was extremely basic, and during one breakfast, plaster suddenly fell from the ceiling, as shown in the picture. It was completely unlike the description. All in all, it was very bad. The important part came on my second night, around 12:20 AM on the 20th. I was sleeping soundly when the fire alarm blared, jolting me awake and almost causing me to fall [cursing]. Then, amidst the alarm, an announcement instructed all guests to evacuate immediately via the emergency exit. In a panic, we just threw on jackets, didn't even have time to put on socks, and basically grabbed nothing before rushing out of the room and down the stairs. The hallway was completely drenched with water pouring down, soaking our clothes and shoes. When we got to the lobby, there were many people. Some were even just in shorts [facepalm], it was incredibly cold! Later, the police and firefighters arrived. They figured out that the fire alarm was triggered by a burst water pipe somewhere on the 5th floor. We gathered in the lobby for about an hour, and then everyone gradually went back to their rooms. However, the alarm started blaring again, continuously for nearly another half hour. I called the front desk three times in between, and they said the alarm couldn't be turned off temporarily. How was anyone supposed to sleep that night? I didn't go out the next day and just caught up on sleep. What was supposed to be a good trip turned into a heart-stopping experience. Afterward, the hotel didn't even proactively explain how they would compensate guests. Only after I went to negotiate did they reluctantly offer to waive the room fee for that night. As for our lack of sleep and the fright we endured, they didn't say a word! No gestures of apology whatsoever. This review is just my honest account for your reference. I hope everyone compares carefully when planning their trips. If I ever come to Yangzhou again, I will definitely not consider this hotel!"

"The environment is great and the service is good during the holidays."

"We booked a family room with a hot spring tub, which was a decent size. It even had little rubber ducks and a ball pit, which kept the kids entertained. The pet park was pretty good too, with lots of animals to feed. Feeding prices were mostly 10-20 yuan, and the 50 yuan package was quite a good deal. There's a massage service on the upper floor of the hot spring building. I had foot massages for three consecutive days; the price was reasonable – not a rip-off, but not cheap either, generally over 200 yuan per person."
