Housed in a historic building, Mingtown Suzhou Youth Hostel features classic Chinese-style architecture and simple accommodation with wooden furnishings. The Humble Administrator’s Garden is a 15-minute walk away. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas.

The location of this hostel was spot on: in the old town, very central, and yet quiet at night. Also, it is only 10 minutes away on foot to the metro station so it can be easily reached from the Suzhou railway station. The hostel itself is cute, with traditional architecture and a nice inner garden. The room was clean and luminous, but not very spacious.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Perfect location! Close to subway and some of the attractions! The owner was nice and friendly. We drank every night in the hostel to keep the body warm because that was winter.
