Hotels near Polong Stream, Changshu

Location📍The hotel is right at the entrance of Shajiabang Scenic Area. It belongs to Huazhu Club with the Huajianting next door. The two share a courtyard. The children's playground of Manxinfu is also in the Huajianting next door. There is another Huazhu Club in the scenic area with a better price. Service: Smooth check-in, quick response, and children's toiletries and slippers are provided Facilities: The meal provided by the package is rich in variety. Coffee and bread coupons were given although they were not used. The family package in the package has a separate group purchase of 298, which tastes good. Breakfast is until 10 o'clock on weekends, with many choices and few Western styles. Let me talk about the points that I don't agree with: The fruit platter written in the 298 family package in the package was originally prepared to be packed, but the waiter asked if there were only 4 slices of watermelon. Haha, this platter... If you book a calendar room directly, you can upgrade the room, check out late, give souvenirs, and send bird watching coupons. There are none of them redeemed with group purchases. Bird watching coupons need to be bought by yourself for 50 per person😓

In the past 12 months, I have stayed in over 80 hotels around the world. More than 60 in China. Many of them are positively memorable. The Mehoud perhaps tops all of them in terms of unexpected delight. Physically the hotel is a design bonanza. Recently opened, inspiring u architectural details and finishes are evident throughout. Amenities are excellent. Luxury bath robes and bath towels, small gym with good weights, a pool, laundry machines... It is one of the few hotels with balconies and terraces allowing access to fresh air However, its greatest asset is undoubtedly the management and staff. The general manager seems extraordinary. Sometimes tending the coffee shop, greeting guests in the restaurant, and roaming the hotel. Wait staff go out of their way to accommodate guests, and so many speak at least a little bit of English

My stay at Hilton Changshu Longteng was a perfect experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Changshu. The hotel is beautifully situated by Qinhu Lake, with its unique cruise ship-like architecture making it instantly recognizable. My lake view room was spacious and bright, featuring panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony. Watching the sunset over the lake in the evening was incredibly therapeutic and relaxing. The room was well-appointed with smart devices that were easy to use, and the bathroom had separate wet and dry areas with branded toiletries – every detail was meticulously thought out. Breakfast, served on the 11th floor, offered a wide variety of dishes, including authentic freshly made Suzhou-style noodles, all enjoyed with a fantastic view. Xiao Yue provided gentle and professional service. I arrived early, and my original room wasn't ready yet. Xiao Yue patiently discussed room options with me and proactively upgraded me to a lake view balcony room. During check-in, she clearly and understandably explained everything regarding the deposit, minibar, and checkout expenses. She was responsive and thoughtful throughout. Whether it was in-person reception or online inquiries, she was always enthusiastic and patient. The hotel's environment, dining, and facilities are impeccable, but Xiao Yue's meticulous and warm service truly made the experience exceptional. My stay was fantastic, and I will definitely choose this hotel again when I return to Changshu. I recommend everyone to stay here and ask for Xiao Yue!

The front desk had a new system, so I had to wait a while during check-in. However, the front desk attendant was very thoughtful and offered me some candy as an apology. **Cleanliness:** The room was clean and tidy, nothing to complain about. **Facilities:** Since it was hot during the summer holidays, I specifically chose a hotel with a swimming pool. This hotel is very new and the facilities are excellent. The pool has a great view; swimming while enjoying the scenery through the floor-to-ceiling windows was very pleasant. **Service:** The staff members were all proactive in greeting guests, especially the auntie on the 26th floor who asked for our room number and guided us. The hotel has a beautiful view. If you're driving, after parking your car, you first take an elevator to the first floor, then switch to another elevator to the 36th-floor lobby for check-in, and then switch elevators again to your room floor. It's a bit of a hassle, but understandable. I would still choose to stay here first when I come back to Changshu. **Surroundings:** Everything nearby is also quite convenient. If you're attending a concert at the sports center, it's an 8km taxi ride. The nearby scenery is lovely, and when it's not too hot, you can walk around without it being crowded.

The hotel environment is excellent, and the location is convenient, just a quick drive off the highway. The front desk staff, particularly Xiao Jiang, provided fantastic service and even gave us a complimentary room upgrade. We'll definitely be back!

I go to Changshu once a year on business and stay at this hotel every time. Overall, it is very cost-effective. Compared with other high-end hotels, there is not much difference in hardware facilities, but maybe because it is not a chain hotel, it is more flexible in all aspects and the service is good. The girls at the front desk are polite and patient. I have seen the young man working the night shift a few times. The second person is quite handsome, but his voice is a bit soft. Maybe he is a bit shy and will lower his head when talking to female guests. What I am most satisfied with about this hotel is the breakfast. I was quite satisfied with it when I came here two years ago, because the room at this price comes with free breakfast. I thought it was a simple breakfast at first, but I didn't expect that the variety is very rich, and it is not a problem for most people to eat enough. This time I came and found that the breakfast had been upgraded again, which was great! It's better than spending more than 50 bucks for breakfast in other hotels. Of course, the hotel is not perfect. There is a restaurant, pharmacy and ear picking shop downstairs. It can be a bit noisy in the afternoon and you have to close the windows. It is quite quiet at night when you sleep.

The hotel room was spacious, and the hot water in the shower at night was perfect for washing away the fatigue of a long day climbing Yushan Mountain. There were charging stations, including a Tesla charging station, and a shopping mall was right next door. The breakfast deserves special mention. They had freshly cooked noodles with stir-fried toppings—it tasted great! Highly recommended!

Overall, I was pleased with this hotel. It’s in a central part of Changshu, has English signs all over the hotel, and someone at the desk spoke English. My room was nice with a comfortable bed and good bathroom. The hallway smelled like a mixture of perfume and cigarette smoke. Breakfast was very unexceptional and very Chinese (the baozis were not very good 🙁). Overall, I would still stay here again.

The hotel is a very nice, charming complex comprising a renovated ancient house, making it an unusual place to stay. The location is unexpected: tucked behind some regular buildings. Inside it is very pretty and nicely designed and the room has nice amenities. Things I noticed that were slightly negative: the floor in the room was not very clean; the breakfast is pretty and nice done but still, is simply a fancy zhou and they couldn’t make me a coffee; there is very little noise isolation so we were woken up by noisy families at 8am when we were trying to lie-in. Overall I would recommend it for sure but a clean floor and slightly cheaper nightly price would help a lot.

The hotel location is perfect. Near the walking street. However, the hotel was very noisy and had bad security. I hope they can improve the security in the future. (Only the hotel customer can access to the floor who is staying..
