Yiju Life Hotel (Huai'an University Town), known in Chinese as Kaiyuan Yiju Hotel, is a business-category hotel at No. 16 Mingyuan Road in the University Town of Qingjiangpu District, Huai'an, Jiangsu, China. The University Town is a planned education district on the edge of the main urban area, home to several colleges, so the hotel serves visiting parents, academics and business travelers. Qingjiangpu is Huai'an's central district, and the old canal quarter and city center commercial streets are reachable by taxi or ride-hailing.
The hotel opened in 2023 and is operated under the Kaiyuan brand's Yiju line, a mid-range concept focused on comfort and everyday practicality. Room types include Double Bed Rooms, Twin Rooms, Family Rooms and Executive Rooms. Listed amenities are free parking, EV charging, laundry, a fitness room, a free minibar, meeting rooms and a tea room, which gives the property a quiet, business-friendly character.
Dining relies on the hotel's own breakfast service and the cafes and restaurants of the University Town, where inexpensive student-oriented eateries predominate. Visitors seeking Huaiyang cuisine can travel to the old town for classic dishes such as soft-shell crab and eel. No pool or spa is listed.
The free minibar is an uncommon touch at this price point, and the meeting rooms and tea room support small gatherings. Rates start from about 170 yuan (about 24 US dollars) per night on Trip.com listings as of October 2026. The hotel is rated 4.7 from more than 1,000 reviews and can be reached at +86-517-83820000.
