Mountain View Hotels in Suzhou

We had a wonderful 2 nights in this family-run hotel. The host was extremely kind, friendly and helpful; he made us feel completely at home, and even gave us two delicious homemade ‘lard cakes’ to take with us because we’d enjoyed them so much at breakfast one morning! The rooms are lovely - spacious, very light, bright and private. Really nice interior design. Ours was on the top floor with a roof top deck and great views over the lake and village. The bed was very comfortable with fresh, clean linen and towels. There’s a kettle on the room but you need to bring your own tea or coffee. That said, tea and hot water were available 24-hours a day downstairs. The meals in the hotel restaurant were delicious and fresh; they’re cooked onsite with ingredients that are caught or grown on the island, and are very good value. We ate breakfast (included) both mornings and dinner on our first night. We felt very welcome and would definitely stay here again if we came back. The main thing to note is that the host (and very few people on the island) speak English, so having some Chinese definitely helps! But we felt very welcome at all times, even when our language skills reached their limits!

Facilities: The facilities are excellent, especially the pool, which the kids absolutely loved. Service: The service was exceptional. They helped with luggage, offered afternoon tea, evening dessert, and a rich breakfast spread. Environment: The environment was very clean and pleasing. It's located by the lake with beautiful scenery. 【Slow-cooked Time・Leisurely Afternoon】Hong's Exquisite Hospitality Afternoon Tea: The variety was extensive. I was also very happy with the complimentary retouched photos from the hotel. There was no pressure to buy; they just recommended based on what I liked, and the prices were reasonable.

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

Banyan Tree Suzhou Shishan is the perfect resort for a family vacation with kids! The private hot spring in the courtyard was amazing – the water was clean, and it felt very private. We had a blast. The breakfast spread was incredibly rich and varied, with a semi-buffet style that ensured everything looked great and was fresh. They even included local Suzhou specialties, and the drink selection was extensive and visually appealing. The resort grounds are tranquil and elegant. Alice and all the staff were very attentive. Overall, our stay was a perfect 10, and I highly recommend it for families traveling with children.

The experience of staying in this time was very satisfactory. The room has sufficient space, transparent lighting, panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the surrounding buildings and distant mountains, and the viewing experience is very good; the bedding is clean and dry, and the rest quality is good. The bathroom is dry and tidy, the toilet, sink, shower equipment is all available, the toiletries are complete, and the hot water supply is sufficient. The interior is equipped with desks and chairs, it is very convenient to travel and work, the whole house is in place, the environment is quiet, the overall hardware and environment are beyond expectations, and I will choose here next time I travel.

Facilities: The facilities are outdated, and the hotel should invest more in maintenance; it looks a bit old-fashioned. The restaurant dinner options were limited to only one buffet due to gas pipeline maintenance, with no other restaurants open. Clearly, there were no emergency plans in place, which was quite disappointing. The breakfast variety, for a hotel of this caliber, was seriously lacking and not as rich as even an Atour hotel. The toothbrushes in the rooms were also exceptionally hard, truly not befitting a hotel of this standard or price. Service: Aside from the breakfast staff, who appeared to be quite elderly (it seemed they were using cleaning ladies to fill in due to staffing shortages), the other service personnel, especially the front desk staff, were very good in terms of age and professional service. Both their appearance and service met Marriott standards. This was the only commendable aspect, particularly Renie, who proactively added me on WeChat after check-in and actively answered various guest questions. Hygene: In terms of hygiene, apart from the sofa covers which seemed not to have been cleaned for some time, the rest of the hotel was relatively clean. Environment: Finally, the environment is indeed commendable. There are daily scheduled activities, which are quite good, and they clearly put thought into the content. The activities neither overwhelmed guests nor appeared amateurish. The professionalism was excellent.

The room was spacious and clean, and the 1.5-meter bed was large. However, the mattress was a bit too soft, and there was no dedicated luggage rack, so I had to put my bags on the floor. The bathroom vanity was tiny, with no space for cosmetics; I had to store them in the cup-holder drawer. There was also no full-length mirror by the door. On the positive side, the hotel is very pet-friendly. They provided a dog bed, pee pads, and a water bowl. The third floor even has a dedicated pet room with dog crates. The restaurant is conveniently located next to the lobby on the ground floor, and there's a hot spring. Overall, it offers good value for money. I suggest adding luggage racks, a full-length mirror, and more chairs to make the stay even more comfortable.

Across the road from Shushan Village, this Hilton has its own unique charm, though its signature style isn't overtly prominent. It's perfect for a relaxing family getaway, especially with kids (and pets!), offering plenty of recreational facilities. The pool is a bit small, so we just peeked in and decided not to compete with the little ones. The gardens have a natural, wild beauty and are impeccably maintained. Outside the restaurant, a flock of ducks gathers daily, eagerly awaiting treats (the restaurant provides breadcrumbs), much to the delight of both adults and children. The rooms are spread out, but electric carts are always on standby, saving you the hassle of walking, especially with luggage. Parking in Shushan Village can be a pain during peak season. Walking from here isn't impossible, but it would be even better if shared bikes were available nearby.

Recently, I have been hearing that Xishan is very hot, and then I plan to go and see it. I searched the Internet and was attracted by the photos of the moon. I booked a room. After I arrived, I was immediately attracted by the scenery of the moon. After entering the yard, the garden was full of flowers. In an instant, There is also an oversized swimming pool, and there is a fireplace with a super design in the lobby on the first floor. It feels like winter will be another feeling. The room is clean and tidy. I saw a fireworks show at night. The housekeeper is also attentive and responsive. I plan to come back with my friends next time.

The room is very clean and the configuration is very high-end. It doesn't look like a B&B in the countryside. The designer's positioning is worthy of the name; The boss is very nice. If you need anything in the room, you can just ask him. You can also ask for advice on travel itineraries and buying souvenirs. Finally, a vacation in Xishan is really good and relaxing. But I didn’t see the sunset this time. It's a bit of a pity. . .
