Jinjiang Inn Select Yangzhou Slender West Lake Siwangting Road
Second-closest to the lake, on a historic road
About this hotel
Named for Siwangting Road, close to the old canal quarter, this Jinjiang Inn Select branch sits roughly 3.5 km from Slender West Lake, just behind its sister property on Dongguan Street as the closest hotels in this pick to the lake. Rooms come air-conditioned with private bathrooms, bathrobes and city views, plus a work desk, free toiletries and a TV. Massage and beauty services run through reception alongside the 24-hour front desk and concierge, with wheelchair-accessible rooms and an emergency cord in the bathroom matching the accessibility standard across the Jinjiang Inn network. There is no confirmed pool on site, and Hailanggu Water Park sits a further 22 km out.

Our take
This suits travelers wanting a close lake-district base on Siwangting Road without needing an on-site pool, since the massage service is the closest thing to a wellness amenity here. It sits marginally further from the lake than the Dongguan Street branch, at 3.5 km against 3 km, a small enough gap that either works for old-town sightseeing. Guests set on the water park should book Magnolia instead, given the 22 km distance from here.
- ✓Walk toward Slender West Lake directly from Siwangting Road rather than booking a taxi for the short distance.
- ✓Book a massage through reception for an evening wind-down, since it is the property's main wellness offering.
- ✓Compare against the Dongguan Street branch if choosing between the two, since both sit within half a kilometre of each other in lake distance.

Why guests love itWe chose this over the Dongguan Street branch mainly because it had availability, and the 3.5 km distance to Slender West Lake made no real difference to our plans. The room was standard Jinjiang Inn fare, functional rather than memorable, and the massage service after a day walking the canal streets was worth booking. No pool, and we didn't attempt the water park given the 22 km distance from here.
