Property Description
In the poetic ancient city of Suzhou, there lies a place that is like a paradise secluded from the world —— Sunshine Inn in the Alley (Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden Pingjiang Road Branch). It is like a shining pearl, exuding a unique charm and attracting countless travelers to explore.
The inn is located at No. 252-1, Pingjiang Road, Gusu District, in an alley on the east side of the north entrance of Pingjiang Road, Baitadong Road. At the entrance of the alley is the Pingjiang Road and the cruise ship terminal of Pingjiang River. As soon as you step out of the inn, you can set foot on Pingjiang Road and feel the profound heritage of "One Pingjiang Road represents half of Suzhou's history." It is adjacent to the Silk Exhibition Hall, and there are numerous places of historical interest and scenic beauty around. Famous scenic spots such as the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lion Grove Garden, the Suzhou Museum, the Couple's Garden Retreat, and the Dongyuan Park can all be reached on foot, allowing you to immerse yourself in the magnificent scenery of Suzhou's gardens and its rich history and culture.
When you step into the inn, it's as if you've walked into an ink-wash painting of the Jiangnan region. The architecture in Chinese style and the wooden staircase exude an antique charm, as if telling the stories of the passing years. The mottled old walls and the climbing Boston ivy indoors are the marks left by time, adding a touch of historical charm to this place.
The design of the inn has a strong sense of spatial hierarchy. Both the public areas and the guest rooms are carefully arranged, and every detail shows exquisite craftsmanship and attention. The perfect integration of the classical and the modern creates a warm and elegant atmosphere.
Whether you are in pursuit of Suzhou's history and culture or longing to enjoy a period of peaceful and pleasant time, Sunshine Inn in the Alley (Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden Pingjiang Road Branch) is your ideal choice. It is like a warm haven, allowing you to feel at home in this unfamiliar city and leave behind a wonderful memory.

My stay at Alley Sunshine Hostel was absolutely delightful! The hostel itself is cozy, clean, and full of character, tucked away in a quiet yet convenient location. But what truly made the experience stand out was the amazing landlady.
She was incredibly welcoming and helpful, offering personalized tips that made exploring Suzhou so much more enjoyable. From the best times to visit the classical gardens, to delicious local eateries and scenic canal walks, every recommendation she gave was perfect. Her knowledge of the area and genuine care made me feel more like a guest in a friend’s home than just a traveler passing through.
If you're coming to Suzhou and want more than just a place to sleep — a place with heart and great local insight — Alley Sunshine Hostel is the one. Highly recommended!

I absolutely loved my stay here. The hotel has a wonderfully cozy atmosphere, and the architecture feels authentic and full of character. The view from the room was breathtaking — a perfect place to relax and take it all in.
A special thanks to the lady at the front desk who helped me check in — she was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful, which made the whole experience even more welcoming.
Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for charm, comfort, and warm hospitality.

The room perfectly mixes old-world Suzhou style with modern comforts: cozy beds, sleek bathrooms, and thoughtful touches. The hostess was lovely, offering tips on nearby Pingjiang Road and serving delicious *qingtuan* (sweet rice cakes). I must say that this is a perfect accommodation for families or solo travelers!
