★★★★ 9.4 (17,468 reviews)

"When I was planning my trip, I saw that this hotel had really high ratings, so I chose it. I didn't expect the room to be surprisingly good! It even had a small walk-in closet which was super convenient for hanging clothes, and there was plenty of space for my friend and I to spread out our luggage on the floor. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🥰🥰 Plus, the front desk staff were incredibly patient and helpful, I loved them! ^o^"

★★★★★ 9.5 (5,786 reviews)

"This is my second stay here, and it's excellent as always. Service: They upgraded us to a VIP room, which was twice the size. My cousin checked in before me; his Chinese isn't great, but the hotel patiently explained breakfast details and other important information to him, and proactively arranged the room upgrade. Thumbs up to the hotel! After we checked out, I left a charging cable behind, and they even contacted us to ask if we needed it back. The attention to detail in their service is impressive! Environment: The location is superb, right next to Pingjiang Road, which is fantastic."

📍 No. 168 Xinggang Street, Lakeside of Jinji Lake, Suzhou Industrial Park, Suzhou
★★★★★ 9.7 (13,325 reviews)

"Beautiful hotel located overlooking the lake. Room size was generous and room was clean. We booked a room meant for triple sharing. After requesting for extra bed for adult, no additional water and toiletries were provided. Also, the shower soap was not replenished and we had to request for it to be topped up. Same with other toiletries like hand soap, shampoo and conditioner which were only filled one eighth of the bottles. It's not what I would have expected from a 5-star hotel."

Garden Hotel SUZHOU

Garden Hotel SUZHOU

📍 No. 99 Daichengqiao Road, Gusu District, Suzhou
★★★★★ 9.6 (9,903 reviews)

"Yingjie Hotel is newly renovated, and while there's still a slight new-furniture smell, it's very comfortable to stay in. It's incredibly quiet at night, ensuring a great sleep. The service is excellent, and the breakfast spread is extensive. The garden environment is beautiful, and they offer free garden tours with explanations. We even received a festive gift during the Mid-Autumn Festival! Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth revisiting."

"The room was really quiet, and the hot spring bath had a very Zen-like design – the rocks and water were perfectly balanced. It was also very clean, and you could tell a lot of thought went into the details. Service was prompt, and breakfast was nutritious. Overall, it was a great experience, perfect for a relaxing getaway 🌿"

Atour Hotel Suzhou railway station north square Bole Shi

Atour Hotel Suzhou railway station north square Bole Shi

📍 17th-27th Floors, 6th Floor, Tower A, No. 1398 Suzhan Road, Gusu District, Suzhou
★★★★ 9.5 (2,400 reviews)

"Pros: The location is excellent, right by the North Square of Suzhou Station. The room is very spacious, a true 35 square meters, and the king-size room feels like a suite. It even has a washing machine with a dryer, a mini-fridge, and a bathtub. Great value for money. Cons: The facilities are a bit old. The bathroom is small and shows noticeable rust marks, and the walls have signs of aging. There's no air conditioning vent in the bedroom (or at least no air comes out, even though it looks like there is one). While the room temperature stays at 23 degrees Celsius, the lack of air circulation makes it feel a bit stuffy. Being close to the train station, it's a little noisy. There's no master light switch, so turning off all the lights individually is a bit inconvenient. Overall, it's very good value for money and recommended."

"The hotel's location is excellent, and the staff are incredibly warm and attentive. The lobby was a bit far from the room, but they kindly brought my luggage directly to my room. Since it's been raining a lot lately, they thoughtfully placed rain gear at the door, which was very convenient to use."

Crowne Plaza SUZHOU by IHG ★★★★★
"The hotel has a wonderful ambiance, and all the staff I encountered were incredibly polite. The restaurant server was especially warm and attentive. My 29-month-old son really wanted a banana that he saw at a neighboring table, but the fruit at the buffet had already been changed. I asked a staff member, and to my surprise, they brought one over very quickly! Overall, the attention to detail in their service was evident everywhere. Next time I'm in Suzhou, I definitely have to stay here again! 😄😄"

Garden Hotel SUZHOU ★★★★★
"I stayed at the Nanfang Hotel's Building 8, 'Yingjie,' in Suzhou over the weekend. It was just renovated late last year with a new 'Neo-Chinese' decor. As you enter, to your left is a long, open wardrobe and a luggage rack, which were very convenient. Then there's a separate wet and dry vanity area and a bathtub, with a sliding glass door separating the room from the washroom. The room itself was quite spacious, with a round table and a sofa by the window. Outside, lush rockeries and greenery provided a refreshing view, and being able to open the window for ventilation was especially pleasant this time of year. The toiletries were L'Occitane, and there was even a Pantene hair essence capsule with the hairdryer. As for the bedding, the mattress was on the firmer side, so comfort will vary for different people. What was hard to understand were some of the renovation details. The grout lines in the tiles were sloppily done, a clear departure from what you'd expect in a five-star hotel. This was even more noticeable under the sink drain. I'd suggest the hotel add a trash can there; it would both hide the flaw and be convenient for women to discard small items when using the sink. The breakfast overall was good. I recommend the 'red soup noodles with braised pork,' which had an authentic flavor. The fresh pork pan-fried buns were also surprisingly delicious – slightly sweet and very juicy. The hotel's location truly lives up to its five-star reputation. Situated on Shiquan Street, it's incredibly convenient for getting around. Wangshi Garden is right across from the hotel entrance on Chengqiao Road, so you can visit early to avoid the crowds. Plus, many popular eateries on Shiquan Street don't have queues before noon. The surrounding streets like Fenghuang Street, Wuqueqiao Street, Cuku Alley, Chaiyuan, and the small alleys behind Shiquan Street are also perfect for a city walk. Shiquan Street is bustling, but as soon as you enter the hotel, it becomes wonderfully quiet. If you're tired from exploring, you can return to the hotel to stroll around Jiang Weiguo's former residence or other ancient buildings and rock gardens, and enjoy the peaceful, serene atmosphere. If you want to explore the urban area of Suzhou in a short time, Nanfang Hotel is a five-star recommendation."

Suzhou Alley Jiangnan·Pingjiang Courtyardestay ★★★
"Tucked away in an alley, this B&B boasts traditional Suzhou garden aesthetics but with surprisingly modern and smart facilities. The courtyard is equipped with a washer/dryer and a microwave, and the room itself is spotless, even offering disposable towels 👍. Just a few dozen meters down the alley is the main street of Pingjiang Road Historical Block, making it super convenient for visiting nearby attractions."
