KKestelResun Hotel is a hidden Gem in Yixing and our expectations were far exceeded. Only 17 rooms makes it a wonderful place to relax and enjoy quiet time. We stayed 2 nights in a tasteful decorated, specious and well appointed room facing the garden and green forest where the hotel sits within. The staff were very attentive and helpful, especially Stephen took great care of everything we were asking for. Even we got the chance to meet the owner of the hotel during a tea tasting. Can’t wait to come back.
KK._.BluemoonFantastic hotel! It made my visit to Yixing extra enjoyable.
The room looks exactly like description and very clean. The staff from front desk to housekeeping are very friendly and helpful, makes your feel like home.
The resort is huge but the drivers are always there to bring you around to other parts of the property.
The bathroom is so clean and smells nice all the time. Beds and pillows are comfortable too. It is really one of the best hotel I have stayed in.
Breakfast was delicious and the Chinese restaurant in the main hotel sets very high standard.
What a lovely room to go back to after a long and tiring day from 竹海 and 瑶湖小镇. By the way, it’s easy to grab Didi from the resort.
__TS***xoVery spacious hotel n room, a bit empty lol but everythings nice n comfy. Nice shower water pressure n hot enough. AC cold enough. Bluetooth audiobox n usb-a charging plug.
They even sent welcome fruits upon check-in!
24-hr self serve gym with rowing machine, just what i need. Towels n bottled water are provided.
Location-wise:
If u do not drive like me, it is not close to the big malls/attractions like ceramic museum. But u can still hop on bus or grab a didi easily!
A local supermarket is located opposite to the hotel. There r some restaurants within 5-10mins walk but pls be aware of their operating hours as many closing in the afternoon n re-open for dinner n close early too.
Anyhow, I di hv a good rest here n would recommend.
ผผู้เข้าพักStayed in this hotel for 2 nights at the end of December, I initially booked the cheapest room on the lowest floor but was upgraded to the danggui tatami room on the 2nd floor. The room was beautiful and extremely comfortable with the window facing the central courtyard which gets full daytime sun in winter. The initial room I booked would have had the window and outdoor area facing the courtyard as well as the restaurant which should be noted if privacy and quiet is a priority for you. Additionally, the price is much better during off peak periods, around 4 times the price i booked when booked during the new year period onwards
Each room comes with a tea set which is quite fitting for appreciating Yixing culture and the seperate wet area for the shower and toilet was very comfortable. However, the soundproofing for the overall building is a bit bad as you can hear when people are climbing up the stairs or if the restaurant is full and people are celebrating/drinking.
The breakfast on the first day was a platter of side dishes with rice porridge which was quite nice and filling, while the second day was a bowl of noodles. Both were quite delicious but I would've appreciated more local cuisine featured like bamboo shoots and black rice but maybe it was off season.
Overall, I am very happy with my stay, the location is very convenient for a 1 day trip to the 3 main clay museums and old district!
PProJieLaMy room at Manyue Hotel was very clean. The window opens slightly, so there was fresh air, and the room was bright and comfortable. There is a good blackout curtain, so it is pretty dark at night--great! The bed was comfortable, and has different types of pillows to choose from according to your own preference. The shower area is ”private” and separate from the toilet area--they are surrounded by frosted glass, so you cannot see another person--good when staying with a friend! Manyue provided slippers, robe, clean towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and antibacterial hand soap, plus toothbrush kit, comb, and body lotion--very, very impressive for the price of this hotel! It's a good bargain.
There are a few places to eat nearby, but DON'T go to the restaurant across the street in the 1916 shopping center ! (It was recommended by the guy at the front desk.) That restaurant has terrible service--horrible service! The Korean-style bbq nearby was much better, and cheaper too. There is also a nice park about 1.5 blocks away--I walked there easily.
I noted that several Chinese guests did NOT pay a 200kuai deposit at the hotel. However, perhaps because I am a foreigner, I DID have to pay the deposit. However, it was refunded immediately upon my checkout--no problem. Very good.
Manyue Hotel is an excellent choice for a budget-minded traveler. It is a very good value for the price.
