The hostel is pretty good. The space is large. The people living together are also pretty nice. Everyone follows the rules. Eating in the room is not allowed, which is a good thing. The hostel is close to various locations.

If you lose your room card, they will deduct all your 100 yuan deposit. Luckily I didn't lose it. I was so scared.

The biggest advantage is the good location, but the eight-person room is too crowded

I came out alone and looked at this hotel online in advance. It was already midnight when I arrived. The front desk guy was very gentle, checked in quickly, and provided disposable supplies. The room environment is good, with bed curtains, and good privacy. You can sit and chat in the lobby when you are free. The people in the store are very nice and gentle.
The location of the store is also very convenient. There are scenic spots around, such as Humble Administrator's Garden, Suzhou Museum, etc., which can be reached quickly by foot. I heard that the subway will be repaired around June, and it will be very convenient to go anywhere at that time!
It is also the first time to stay in a youth hostel. The accommodation experience is great. I highly recommend it!

Apart from the location, the only advantage is that it is across from the Lion Forest.
Disadvantages: 1. How are the curtains designed? There is a 10 cm gap.
2. There are mosquitoes. Due to disadvantage 1, mosquitoes fly in and out. Why can't the curtains be sealed like other youth hostels?
3. The key point! ! ! Is your room design funny? The shower, toilet and washbasin are all stuffed into the room. Do you think it will be convenient? The key is that there is no seal from top to bottom. Have you ever considered the smell? It happened to rain on the day I stayed there, and there was a smell of sewer. I stayed in the lower bunk. I slept with the smell. Why not seal it up? It is neither soundproof nor odorproof. I slept while listening to the sound of urination and smelling the smell of feces?
I finally fell asleep while smelling the sewer smell, and was woken up at 3 am. There was a 3✖️3 cm big bag. At 4 am, birds were chirping outside. It is recommended to get double-layer glass for soundproofing.

I stay here every time I come to Suzhou. I didn't expect that the guys and girls at the front desk remembered me (.) It's a very friendly place. The boss and the guys and girls at the front desk are very friendly and enthusiastic. And every time I come, I can see that they are making progress. There were a few mosquitoes the first time I came, and the front desk provided mosquito coils. The second time I came, screens were installed, and wireless charging was added. This time, the hooks in the bathroom were also turned into small shelves, and curtains were added to the lower bunk. It can be seen that they are constantly improving according to the feedback of different guests every time, which is very sincere. The only drawback is that it is a bit far from the subway station now. But the boss lady said that the subway will be open in June. Look forward to it.

Traveling alone, it's a very good youth hostel with a good location, right next to the Lion Forest. There are many food nearby, such as Weijiao Noodle House and many snacks. It's convenient to go anywhere, right next to the ancient city. The price is also affordable. I leave early and return late every day. On the last day, I also stored my luggage there for a day. I stayed there for two consecutive days. It is indeed a good place for young people on business trips.
I would like to give a small suggestion to the hotel. It would be better if a bottle of free mineral water is provided to passengers every day. Although the cost is only one or two yuan, it is a very considerate service. I have also stayed in "Backpacking Ten Years" many times. They all provide a bottle of mineral water and bath towels...
