Scholars Shushan Hot Springs Resort

Pet breakfast: Includes meat, egg yolk, and broccoli. My pet pretty much finished it all, very good. Pet welcome pack: Small snacks, poop bags, and cleaning gloves – very thoughtful. Twin Trees Mountain Hot Springs: Although not very large, it has 12 small pools. If it's not too crowded, it's a great place to soak. Service: The service was excellent; we were lucky enough to get upgraded to a junior suite. Cleanliness: We booked a pet-friendly room. The room was very clean, and they even provided a dog bed, as well as food and water bowls. You don't need to bring these if you're traveling with a pet. Environment: Convenient parking and a great location. It's just a short walk to Trees Mountain and a 7-minute drive to Emerald Lake.

The rooms are incredibly clean, and the family rooms are very kid-friendly, anticipating all the needs of children. There's also a hot spring, making it perfect for family group trips. Plus, breakfast and a 'farm-to-table' restaurant are all included.

The hotel was very clean, and the room was spacious with a well-thought-out layout, making it very convenient to use. The hotel service was exceptionally thoughtful; they even proactively extended our check-out time until 3 PM. The hotel's hot spring view was stunning and also quite clean. It was a very comfortable experience overall.

The rooms are charmingly antique, and the hotel staff are very friendly and patient. The breakfast isn't super lavish, but the Suzhou noodles are quite good. They also included hot spring tickets, which was a nice touch for some relaxation. Free parking is available, which is a big plus. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely bring friends and family back if I get the chance!

This hotel has been around for a long time. I visited about a decade and a half ago, and back then, it felt very serene and secluded. However, I've noticed significant changes this time. It's clear they've kept up with the times, putting a lot of effort into various aspects like the environment, attention to detail, value-added services, and marketing. Overall, I found it to be pretty good value for money. While the facilities aren't as new as those in recently built hotels, the rooms are completely free of any strange or musty smells, and the location is excellent. The hot spring pools are conveniently clustered together, making it perfect for families with children and seniors. My only slight disappointment was that the 'fish spa' pool didn't actually have any fish. The front desk staff were all very warm and friendly, and the restaurant service was equally enthusiastic and attentive. I didn't get a chance to try any of the in-house activities, so I'm not sure what they offer.

This is one of my favorite hotels! The stay included two hot spring tickets, but the front desk staff, knowing I was traveling alone, thoughtfully swapped one for a breakfast voucher instead. The room was very clean and comfortable, and I really liked the Chinese-style decor. The bed was super comfy, and even the hairdryer was good. They even gave me snacks upon check-in – extra thoughtful! The breakfast buffet was plentiful, a great mix of Chinese and Western dishes. The robot ice cream machine was a fun touch; I had two, and they were delicious. The hot springs were also excellent. I visited at the tail end of a holiday, so it was quiet with fewer people. There's also some lovely scenery nearby. Unfortunately, I only had time to visit Emerald Lake, but it was truly beautiful and put a perfect end to my trip. If any friends come to Suzhou, I'll definitely recommend they stay at this hotel.

The hotel is located right at the entrance of Shushan Scenic Area, offering a fantastic environment with its own hot springs, which you can enjoy in the afternoon and evening. It's also very convenient to drive into the scenic area when staying at the hotel. I'll definitely come back again.

The hotel surroundings are beautiful, with lush greenery all around, and the air is incredibly fresh, which really lifted my spirits. Upon check-in, I received welcome snacks, enjoyed the hot springs, and had a delicious breakfast. I'll definitely be staying here again! 👍

Booked this hotel on the day for a spontaneous mountain hike. The location is excellent, an absolute top choice if you're planning to stay overnight for a hike at Shushan Scenic Area. Plus, you can enjoy a hot spring soak after a tiring day. It's only a 15-minute walk from the hotel to the entrance of Shushan Plank Road, making it perfect for families with kids. The room was standard, but generally clean. We even got some complimentary snacks during our May Day holiday stay.
