There isn’t breakfast available. The location is not perfect, but it’s well connected by metro and sits in between the two most important sight areas (gardens and cannals)

I’ve loved my stay here! This place is so cool and artsy, but also cosy. The staff is great and super helpful. The rooms are huge, full of amenities. It’s very nice to have the experience of staying at a guesthouse, instead of the hotels readily available in China.

Everything was great!

Charming Guesthouse in the heart of Suzhou located in a quiet side road. Perfect location - you can walk to most of the sites. Lovely and very helpful host that helped us with all the logistics (as we don’t speak Chinese and didn’t have some of the essential Apps on our phone…), recommended a great restaurant for vegetarians and let us do a late check-out :) Although no breakfast is served you can sit down in the garden or cute living room and have some tea and coffee.

We loved staying here. The room is comfy and homely and the host is very kind. The hotel is within walking distance to the train and buses and restaurants, which made our trip very easy. The host gave us suggestions of lesser known places to visit. The room is small but has all the essentials and the accommodation communal areas are very beautiful. This was much more relaxing than staying in a big, busy hotel

WiFi isn't great

The location is great - walking distance to most of the key sites and very close to the metro. The vibe of the accommodation is perfect for suzhou. I'm really glad that I chose to stay here and would totally recommend especially if you're looking to have a more authentic experience.

Nothing. Everything was great

The place was very clean and very beautiful. It makes you feel like at home from the minute you step in. The hostess was really nice and helpful. She gave us some good indications and kept our luggage for some hours the day we were leaving. The room was very comfortable and clean. Only the bathroom was a bit small perhaps, but not a problem at all. The location is very good, in walkable fistabce to most of the interesting locations in the city. It is located in a very authentic street and although the place is a bit hidden, we had no problem finding it with the hostess indications. We would definitely choose this guesthouse for a future visit in Suzhou.

The location was central. I just loved the peacefulness of the house. The bed was very comfortable but the light in the shower kept we awake, as I could not find the switch.

The internet wasn't really usable if you're looking to use it with vpn (same as any wifi in china). But otherwise it worked great

Gorgeous villa, the gardens there really add to the experience. Walkable distance from everywhere we wanted to go. Host was also really friendly. There's free bottled water provides.

The shower wasn't cleaned properly, there were hairs, presumably from the previous guest. The shower cabin had obvious grime and dirt stains.

Beautiful premises with lots of local art, nicely decorated rooms, very helpful and nice staff.

The staff were so sweet and friendly, they went out of their way to help me find something interesting to do on my last afternoon and to help me get around after I had issues buying subway tickets. The room was beautiful, comfortable, and quiet.

Hosts! They were so kind! They waiting for us until midnight and talk by phone with our taxi driver because he had problems with address. Room had very nice climate and design, and smell was unforgettable. Thank You for this time.

The hotel itself is very nice , it’s in an old Suzhou style house in a local alley . It’s right next to an excellent food street which is not just for tourists but also frequented by locals. Close to almost all the attractions.. The couple who recently bought the hotel are very warm and welcoming people . They provided us with free drinks and given us great suggestions for visiting. They are more like friends to you other than hotel owner. By the way , they are both artist so if you want some Chinese paintings you should ask. Before we leave they even helped us book a taxi since we didn’t have the app for taxi booking, and it was hard to call a taxi in the street, the owner went out in the rain to help load our luggage. Many thanks for that. I strongly recommend this hotel for people who want to visit Suzhou

Madam Yang was super helpful and went out of her way to help us out. She recommended a great restaurant for dinner and made reservations for us and tried really hard to help book us a taxi for our follow on destination. Location was also great with many of the sights well within walking distance.

It was a little bit cold evening, but owner gave me some extra heater! Very nice!

This place is very climatic, amazing atmosphere, very ecological place. Ecological and natural furniture, I like very much. the owner gave me a souvenir, hand- calligraphed and hand-painted tea cup. This location was great, Gusu district next too many historical places and speccially Master of the Nets Garden, which I love.

My room was freezing, but I suspect that the heater wasn’t up for the job with the cold weather

Lovely little property in a fabulous location
