Inns in Suzhou

Staying in this location was an absolute joy. To spend a night in an historic ancient time is a great experience, and staying in this hotel is a treat. The price is extremely reasonable. If I could give more points for the staff they deserve them. I arrived very early, and they not only allowed to drop off my bags, they changed the cleaning schedule to support my early arrival giving me an ultra-early check in. The room was just what I had ordered, and when it came time to check out, they gave me a fried dough snack to speed me on my way as they guided me to the “hidden” location to catch the bus to Suzhou. I don’t usually gush about a location or the staff, but these folks are special. If you want to experience an historic ancient town, listen to the experts that claim ZhouZhuang is the #1 choice.

After exiting Suzhou Railway Station, we took Metro Line 4 to Tongli Station, then transferred to the smart rail to Tongli Ancient Town. Transportation was quite convenient. However, it turned out that we had to buy a ticket to enter the Tongli Ancient Town scenic area. We immediately called the guesthouse owner, who suggested we enter after 5 PM to avoid paying for tickets. Haitanghuakai Nostalgia Guesthouse is located within the Tongli Ancient Town scenic area, near Lizhe Girls' School. The owner picked up our luggage in a tricycle. The guesthouse has a Chinese-style decor, and the lobby on the first floor is large, a place to read and drink coffee. We stayed in the Jasmine Room, which had a large window. The sunlight streamed in early in the morning, putting us in a good mood. The owner thoughtfully provided us with electric blankets in the evening.

This guesthouse is really great! It has its own unique charm, the surroundings are beautiful, and it's super clean and tidy. A shuttle picked us up right at the parking lot, and it's only about a hundred meters from the scenic area entrance, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The guesthouse also has its own restaurant, and the dishes are exquisitely prepared and taste amazing. Highly, highly recommend! 👍👍👍

My children love this place so much, she said very cozy and relaxing. 1. The place is very convenient. 2. The host XiaoGu '小顾' is very nice and friendly. As soon as we arrived, he came out to help us move the luggage. 3. The room clean and nice. 4. Air-conditioning, Bathroom water/heater in good condition. *** Thank you so much '小顾'.

One of the loveliest stays I have had anywhere! Staff is warm and welcoming and very helpful. The rooms was immaculate. The bath was *heaven*. The bed was extremely comfortable (not too soft not too hard). There is coffee onsite and location can’t be beat! It is a 5min walk to Tuisui Garden! One small thing to keep in mind, the hotel is in the middle of Tongli (amazing location) which is a no cars village. You have to walk about 10min from the gate. Keep this in mind. If you have a lot of luggage, perhaps message ahead and ask the staff to meet you and help you carry. They are wonderful! A personal story, I arrived very late at night and got lost in the dark. Even though it was almost midnight, the staff came to find me and walk me to the hotel. Highly recommend! Wish I could stay a week!!

This guesthouse was the hidden gem of our trip! The room looked exactly like the pictures, every corner was picture-perfect, and my friends kept asking for the address on social media. The decor was romantic and cozy, and it was wonderfully quiet and undisturbed at night. The location is fantastic, right within the scenic area and central business district, making getting around super convenient. The power outlets in the room were thoughtfully placed, the bathroom had plenty of hot water and stable pressure, the toiletries smelled great, the natural light was excellent, and the view from the window was superb. Such a 'home away from home' experience is truly rare to find!

Willows are green and reflect the blue waves. Soft silk dances in the spring. The most affectionate place is Yuejuli, which holds many dreams of tourists. The town after the rain is like a dream and a painting. The stone road under your feet is a thousand years old at a glance... Yueju Inn is where the dream begins. The wooden door opens lightly, and you get a quiet world. The smile is warm like the spring breeze. A cup of tea, a lamp, and a warm time. If you go to Suzhou, you must come to Tongli. If you go to Tongli, you must be in Yueju

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel located inside the ancient water town. The highlight was the lovely balcony overlooking the river, offering a peaceful view that perfectly matched the historic surroundings. The lady in charge was exceptionally friendly and helpful—she personally came to fetch us and even arranged drop-off and pick-up at our designated points, which made our visit much smoother. As expected for a property within the ancient town, the facilities were quite basic, but that added to the authentic experience. We didn’t mind at all since the atmosphere was unique and charming. Food was never a concern, as there are plenty of eateries within walking distance, making it easy to find breakfast and meals throughout the day. Overall, this hotel is a simple yet welcoming place to stay, with warm hospitality and a beautiful riverside view that makes it memorable.

When i arrive at 7pm, there is no receptionist, this hotel is a self checkin type, but i got lucky that i meet a aunty that help me to contact the receptionist and gave me the room password (the room use a smartdoor with self checkin type) It is located inside of Tongli ancient town, so if you like a quite place and want to feel to live like a locals, this is a good option

The parking lot was quite a distance away, but the owner came to pick us up in a tricycle, which was a fun and novel experience for the kids. We stayed on the third floor, and the stairs felt a bit steep, but it was manageable. Being right in the scenic area, it was super convenient to get everywhere!
