Shiyuan Inn

Charming Stay in the Heart of Zhujiajiao Our one-night stay at Shiyuan Inn was truly wonderful. Located right inside Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, it’s a perfect place to spend the night if you want to soak in the atmosphere of this historic water town. Unlike many other modernized hotels in the area, Shiyuan Inn retains the classic charm and traditional interior that reflects the spirit of the old town. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. During our stay, there was a noisy guest in the room above us, and the owner thoughtfully offered us a late check-out the next day so we could get some extra rest — a gesture we truly appreciated. Breakfast was included and lovingly prepared by the owner himself. It was simple yet heartwarming, and we got to enjoy it at the back of the inn with a peaceful river view. Just perfect. Highly recommended for anyone looking to stay overnight in Zhujiajiao and experience a more authentic side of the town.

A nice and cozy little Inn just a few steps (literally) from the scenic area. The river view from the second floor is superb (attached). The personnel are very kind and helpful. They also serve a delicious breakfast which you can have on a terrace with the same river view. That was arguably the best breakfast I ever had at a Chinese hotel. I highly recommend the place if the purpose is to explore the neighborhood.

I’m an expat residing in Shanghai and this is the fifth time I visit Zhujiajiao, each time in a different hotel. All were very good, but this one is now the one I will definitely come back to in my next trips. Outstanding and highly recommended.
