Suzhou Hotels with Wifi

This time, my sister and I visited Suzhou again and booked this hotel 🏨. We stayed here last year, and both the environment and service were excellent! So, we chose to stay here again. The hotel 🏨 is conveniently located right on Pingjiang Road. After checking in, you also get two complimentary tickets to a Pingtan teahouse 🆓. Last time, we had a king-size room, and this time we got a twin room. There's even a rocking chair in the room that my sister found so comfortable she didn't want to go out sightseeing! The hotel 🏨 room rate includes breakfast, and both the braised pork noodles and braised beef noodles were delicious. After breakfast, we took a nice stroll along Pingjiang Road!

As a seasoned traveler with extensive luxury hotel experience (having stayed in nearly a hundred and being a 'Black Diamond Partner'), this was my first time trying the Kimpton brand. My main reason for choosing this hotel was my strong interest in Kengo Kuma's concept of a 'granular structure' Suzhou garden landscape, and I wanted to experience it. The result, I must say, far exceeded my expectations. On the night of my check-in, it was a stormy evening. Under the interplay of wall washers and granular lighting, a beautiful rain curtain formed over the classical eaves. Coupled with the white noise, the quality of sleep significantly improved, and the ambiance was just right. My choice of the 'Cool Garden Water View King Room' was an absolute highlight. The room was spacious and airy, blending the elegance of Suzhou gardens with modern minimalist design. The attention to detail in the room's amenities, a testament to HBA Interior Design, was evident and far surpassed what one would expect at this price point. The room featured a Serta mattress, a capsule coffee machine, and custom-scented bath amenities (available for purchase at the gift shop). What's more, the body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion each had a unique scent! This is a significant step up from most luxury brands that often offer a single citrus scent across the board. The first round of mini-bar drinks was also complimentary, and it's worth noting that the selection featured unique local specialties like 'Wang Shanzha' (hawthorn drink) and white peach soda, rather than just standard colas, showcasing a thoughtful integration of local flavors. Of course, the impeccable and attentive service is a must-mention in this review, easily comparable to (if not surpassing) the butler service at domestic St. Regis hotels (where butler service often isn't 'in-person' unlike in Europe or other Asian St. Regis properties). Our butler, Vickey, proactively added me on WeChat before check-in and was consistently responsive and thoughtful throughout our stay. Whether I was inquiring about hotel facilities, nearby attractions, or had any spontaneous requests, she responded instantly and resolved them efficiently. The hotel's location is also very convenient, nestled in the old city of Gusu – a tranquil retreat amidst the hustle and bustle – making it easy to access attractions like the Humble Administrator's Garden and Pingjiang Road. From the top-notch hardware to the warm service, this stay was flawless, and I will definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Suzhou.

Highly recommend the Liuxiang Hotel! The overall ambiance is elegant and cozy, and the faint, pleasant fragrance upon entering is truly calming. The guest rooms are thoughtfully detailed, the bathrooms are clean with no strange odors and well-stocked amenities. The service is meticulous and attentive. It's a tranquil haven amidst the hustle and bustle, perfect whether you're traveling solo or with company. Truly worth recommending to everyone.

Nestled in the heart of a picturesque landmark, this guesthouse offers stunning views of Pingjiang Road at night. There's a cat café right across the street, which is a lovely touch. The breakfast spread is generous, and you can even do your laundry for free. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming, making this a fantastic choice for your stay.

The room had so much character, you could tell the owner put a lot of thought into every detail. The service was also incredibly attentive; the owner tried their best to accommodate all our requests. Highly recommend! And since it wasn't peak season, the room rate was quite reasonable too.

The hotel is a bit far from the city center, but it's conveniently located if you're planning to visit the nearby mountains or Taihu Lake. Right next to the hotel is a shopping mall with a Cha Yan Yue Se (tea house), making dining and shopping very convenient. Although this is a Marriott extended-stay brand, we discovered it's a hidden gem for families with kids. During the May Day holiday, they had daily kids' activities. On our check-in day, we participated in a kite-painting activity at the lobby bar, and after painting, we flew the kites on the lawn in front of the hotel. My child had an absolute blast! We were assigned the smallest suite and received complimentary welcome desserts. The front desk staff, noticing we had a child, proactively sent kids' toiletries to our room, which felt like a very thoughtful touch. The room is equipped with a refrigerator and microwave, perfectly meeting the needs of an extended stay.

I arrived in pouring rain. I thought I could walk to my hotel but it was impossible in the downpour. I didn’t want to bother any hotel owner.   I didn’t and still don’t  have an eSIM that can make local  call but thanks to Trip.com, there is a link that I could call the owner for free.  I didn’t advise the owners my arrival time so they were off running errands.  I called the owner to pick me up and thankfully he answered. He was busy but gracious enough to turn around and picked me up. It knew Zhouhuang requires a ticket but I didn’t know that no cars, nor motorcycles, nor bicycles are allowed. Without him I would have arrived the hotel easily.  I always like to meet the owners instead of employees . They were very helpful and answered all my questions. They are honest people who dedicate their  blood and sweat to their business. The owner even offered to walk me to the bus stop  to Suzhou which was my next destination.  This  operates two hotels with 9 in one and 6 in the other. The one that I stayed in with 9 rooms is in a  lively and busy area . Just outside the hotel is a restaurant and there are plenty of places to eat. Inside the hotel is a peaceful oasis where you won’t hear any noise. The location is the best. The other hotel is in a quieter neighborhood a few minutes away. Each of the 15 rooms has it’s own personality, is different and has its distinctive decoration. The owners said they decorated them themselves. I love the decoration and especially the lighting.  After you reserve a room, be sure to contact the owner for the exact address in case you want to arrive on your own. I think it is best to request the owner to take you there because he/she will lead you to the ticket booth to buy tickets. There are a number of bridges so heavy big luggages can be a bit of a challenge .  If you arrive after 5 pm, you can enter free of charge as no one is there to check your ticket. . But once you are inside, and if you choose to leave the area after 8 or 9 am until 5 pm, you have to pay to come back in. You can buy a one day or in my case 3 days pass.  Do check with the owner for up to date information.  The room was quite clean. There were hot water all the time. There were other guests during my stay but they were not noisy at all. I barely heard them. I slept very well during my 3 nights there.  Zhouhuang is really beautiful. There are many canals, bridges, boat rides, good food of all kinds. I had some of the best meals there. In fact , I ate in the same restaurant that serves dumpling twice. One night I had grill (BBQ) meat just outside the entrance for 4 yuans. .  There is decent size supermarket just outside the turnstile and not too far away is a much bigger supermarket. It was there where I bought half a Peking duck for only 32 yuans . The seller sliced the meat and separated the meat from  the bones. The bones he fried so it was crunchy.  It was delicious. There is a theater that offers performances. The night view is great. If you step out your room, you will be overwhelmed in a good sense by the exciting surroundings.  This hotel definitely is one of the best that I have ever stayed in. Look at the beautiful pictures and find one that you like.  I stayed only 3 nights and one of those days I went to Tongli. In my opinion, one should spend at least 2 to 3 full days in  Zhouhuang (and especially this hotel ) savor the ambience. I don’t think Tongli is worth the time because it was twice as expensive and there are not that many canals and boat rides. It is much quieter and has fewer things to see. . The worst is that the sightseeing places require you to show your ticket. After 2 places, I lost mine ticket and I  couldn’t get in the rest of the places. It is unnecessary to require proof of entrance because you can’t enter the area without a ticket. 

We stayed 1 night in this lovely hotel on a Sunday night. We managed to check in early at 1 pm and was upgraded from the 30 sqm king room we booked to a larger 41 sqm room. The room is new and used lovely bath amenities, an Australian hotel brand. Our stay came with a set dinner for 2 persons and the food was delicious. The pricing in the hotel restaurant is similar or cheaper than any other regular Chinese restaurant outside. We paid the next day at lunch time to eat Chinese food at the hotel again as the restaurant environment is nice and service is good. They have a very well equipped gym which unfortunately we did not have time to use during our 24 hour stay. Our room rate included breakfast and the selection was generous, the only negative would be the coffee beans they used are too acidic but that’s a personal preference. The location of the hotel is slightly to 1 side of the Suzhou old city but some sights like 网师园 are walking distance. Suzhou city is actually quite spread out, no one location is best for sightseeing. The great thing is didi only cost less than RMB10 per ride from this hotel so it is still very convenient. I would not bother with the Suzhou subway, it is not as convenient as the one in Shanghai. Oh yes, the cable TV have english programming which is nice for a hotel in China. I believe this Artyzen Habitat brand is managed by the Macau Shun Tak group. Will stay here again for good value and service. 这个酒店非常好，值得回来再住。五星级的设施，四星级的价钱。

The rooms are clean and tidy, with complete facilities, and the surroundings are also very beautiful. The service is attentive, and I really love this hotel. It's clean and bright, and the staff are very enthusiastic and helpful. The hotel is located in the central area of Pingjiang Road, right at its entrance, with plenty of food and drink options nearby. The road is wide, and choosing this hotel for your trip is definitely the right decision. The service is excellent, they offer free luggage storage, and even helped us with a late check-out for a special request. The attention to detail is superb, and the overall experience was fantastic!

Haha, I found a bargain. The check-in experience was great! The front desk staff is warm and thoughtful, the room is clean and tidy, the bedding is comfortable, the breakfast is rich in variety, and the location is very convenient. Highly recommended!
