SStanley The Travel ManI arrived in pouring rain. I thought I could walk to my hotel but it was impossible in the downpour. I didnât want to bother any hotel owner.  I didnât and still donât  have an eSIM that can make local  call but thanks to Trip.com, there is a link that I could call the owner for free.  I didnât advise the owners my arrival time so they were off running errands.  I called the owner to pick me up and thankfully he answered. He was busy but gracious enough to turn around and picked me up. It knew Zhouhuang requires a ticket but I didnât know that no cars, nor motorcycles, nor bicycles are allowed. Without him I would have arrived the hotel easily.Â
I always like to meet the owners instead of employees . They were very helpful and answered all my questions. They are honest people who dedicate their  blood and sweat to their business. The owner even offered to walk me to the bus stop  to Suzhou which was my next destination.Â
This  operates two hotels with 9 in one and 6 in the other. The one that I stayed in with 9 rooms is in a  lively and busy area . Just outside the hotel is a restaurant and there are plenty of places to eat. Inside the hotel is a peaceful oasis where you wonât hear any noise. The location is the best. The other hotel is in a quieter neighborhood a few minutes away. Each of the 15 rooms has itâs own personality, is different and has its distinctive decoration. The owners said they decorated them themselves. I love the decoration and especially the lighting.Â
After you reserve a room, be sure to contact the owner for the exact address in case you want to arrive on your own. I think it is best to request the owner to take you there because he/she will lead you to the ticket booth to buy tickets. There are a number of bridges so heavy big luggages can be a bit of a challenge . Â If you arrive after 5 pm, you can enter free of charge as no one is there to check your ticket. . But once you are inside, and if you choose to leave the area after 8 or 9 am until 5 pm, you have to pay to come back in. You can buy a one day or in my case 3 days pass. Â Do check with the owner for up to date information.Â
The room was quite clean. There were hot water all the time. There were other guests during my stay but they were not noisy at all. I barely heard them. I slept very well during my 3 nights there.Â
Zhouhuang is really beautiful. There are many canals, bridges, boat rides, good food of all kinds. I had some of the best meals there. In fact , I ate in the same restaurant that serves dumpling twice. One night I had grill (BBQ) meat just outside the entrance for 4 yuans. .  There is decent size supermarket just outside the turnstile and not too far away is a much bigger supermarket. It was there where I bought half a Peking duck for only 32 yuans . The seller sliced the meat and separated the meat from  the bones. The bones he fried so it was crunchy.  It was delicious. There is a theater that offers performances.
The night view is great. If you step out your room, you will be overwhelmed in a good sense by the exciting surroundings.Â
This hotel definitely is one of the best that I have ever stayed in. Look at the beautiful pictures and find one that you like.Â
I stayed only 3 nights and one of those days I went to Tongli. In my opinion, one should spend at least 2 to 3 full days in  Zhouhuang (and especially this hotel ) savor the ambience. I donât think Tongli is worth the time because it was twice as expensive and there are not that many canals and boat rides. It is much quieter and has fewer things to see. . The worst is that the sightseeing places require you to show your ticket. After 2 places, I lost mine ticket and I  couldnât get in the rest of the places. It is unnecessary to require proof of entrance because you canât enter the area without a ticket.Â
AAnastasiia KraskovskaiaPerfect location, lovely hosts, beautiful room with vintage furniture and super soft blanket! Very authentic. During the day time itâs super loud because of the amount of tourists, but staying in this place gives you unique opportunity to explain the town in the very early morning or very late evening (the lights switch off at 23:00).
The room can seem small, but itâs old town, it canât be different:)
Unfortunately there was no tea provided, thatâs sad for tea-famous country, maybe should be improved. Other than that â my stay was amazingâșïž
GGuest UserOn my way to university, I was lucky to be able to relax in such a poetic and warm place. From the quaint decorations to the warm lighting, it was all pleasant. The room was clean and tidy, the beds were comfortable and soft, equipped with a dehumidifier, and the northerners could easily stay, giving me a full rest during my tired journey.
The service of the inn is even more impeccable. Everyone is warm and friendly. I just bid farewell to my family and feel the warmth of home again.
In addition, the surrounding environment of the inn is also very beautiful, with both quiet alleys and convenient commercial streets.
In short, this inn was a highlight of my trip and I would not hesitate to recommend it to my friends.
I wish you a happy life and all the best!
GGuest UserLocated within the Old East Gate scenic area, this beautiful guesthouse greeted us with a charming creak as we opened the door. The decor blended seamlessly with the old house, and the scent was lovely. On the rooftop, there were adorable little animals, and it was my first time seeing a weasel! However, the 'flower-viewing' attic room can get noisy at night due to its proximity to a bar. We were warned about this before checking in, but if I stay here again, I'll definitely book a different room.

GGuest UserThis B&B is right by the ticket office for Zhouzhuang's Shen Hall, making ins and outs super convenient. The environment is lovely, and the family room has a terrace perfect for enjoying tea, which the kids really loved. We parked in a nearby parking lot, and there's a shuttle service that takes you directly to the B&B, so the service is great. Downstairs, there's a restaurant associated with the B&B, and the food quality and value for money are excellent.
HhsbsjisnsnsksmsmsjI booked this B&B for Xu Liang's Suzhou concert, and although it wasn't cheap, it was worth it. The environment and facilities were good, exactly as pictured. The location is excellent, very close to Changmen City Wall, and right next to Shantang Street for strolling (though I find Shantang Street less interesting than Pingjiang Road, but both are commercial ancient streets overall). I initially thought it would be noisy near Changmen Street, but it was actually very quiet at night, making for a comfortable sleep đ€. The owner offers personalized service through a private WeChat group, providing recommended travel routes and restaurants. The only minor downsides were that I thought the river view outside the window would be charming, but the water sometimes had a slight odor (closing the window helped), and the river nearby was under renovation, which was a bit of an eyesore. However, when sitting by the window, you can't really see that area anyway.

DDayna LeeHotel is on Pishi Street, iconic cobbled stones street that is for shopping and photo taking. Hotel staff called the day before checking in, and pulled us into a wechat group that tells us the landmark to take car to, what to do if we drive, and some recommendations for food if we need. They also ask if we have a ETA so that they know and are ready for us.
When we reached, their staff brought me to my room, helped me carry my box luggage up to the 2nd floor of the side alley. He helped me set up the aircon (it was originally set to heater mode) and also set up wifi. There is water provided in the fridge at lobby. Apparently the lobby will be locked after 10.30pm and have to access from small side glass door by keycard. Cute and furry cats in the lobby.
They provided fruits on the 1st day of stay. Place is convenient and very clean. They provided facial products and even eye masks. Very well put together place and totally justify the price you pay. We just have to wechat them and they will immediately respond. Upon check out, the girl at the counter helped me bring down my heavy luggage again.
I had some issues with the lock of the door the 2nd day and they immediately rectified it, and also switched me to a next door room. Thank you to the young chap and young girl at lobby for all the helpful help.
Thank you for the lovely stay. Will recommend u to friends if they ask for recs.
GGuest UserWe had a wonderful stay here. Hotel staff were very kind; they met us at the entrance to the ancient town to help us with our bags and lead the way. The rooms are lovely and have air conditioning and complimentary water bottles. The location is perfect. Would absolutely recommend.
GGuest UserWe really love this hotel. The owner, husband and wife so friendly. They contacted us days before we checked in and sent lots of very usefull information about their location, Suzhou attractions and local food choices. Upon our arrival, the husband welcome us with fresh fruits.
Around a week before our stay, we ordered taobao with the hotel as the delivery location, we ordered quite a lot of stuff and the owners helped us to keep the packages for a couple of days. When we got there and received our orders, we discovered that it was still in very good shape and are well kept. As a matter in a fact, there are still some orders from taobao that we placed that still haven't arrived yet. We informed the owners and they agree to help us keep the packages until we visit there again in April.
The hotel location is perfect, very near within walking distance to Suzhou Museum, Humble Administrator Garden and Pingjiang street. The metro station is also very near, around 200 meters, 5 minutes on foot.
The room is very clean with lots of space for 3 of our big luggages. The room is complete with a private sauna which is very special during this winter time. The room heater works perfectly and there's also a heater on the bed to keep us warm while sleeping.
We enjoy our stay and wish to thank the owners for their hospitality. We will definitely stay here again.

GGuest UserThis inn is in such a beautiful location. I only stayed one night, but definitely want to come back and stay longer. The host was warm and friendly. We connected on WeChat the day before and she provide a waypoint for gps when booking a car. She met up with me in the pedestrian street outside of the townâs gate to guide me in and helped with the luggage. The location is very convenient. This is an ancient town so the street surfaces are stone slabs and uneven cobblestones. But going in is mostly smooth, cross one bridge and the inn is right there, about as close to the entrance and as least hassle as you can get. The waterway in front of the inn is travelled by the row boats whether theyâre on the day or evening tour route so thereâs plenty to people watch from the balcony. Overall a great place, great host, and highly recommended. Little tip, if you can store luggage at the airport or train station, take only what you need for your stay so you donât have too much luggage to weigh you down for the trek in and out. The balcony rooms are walkup only.
