Hotels bij Pingjiang Road, Suzhou

My family and I totally enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean and amenities are really good. The service staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. The location is actually very good for tourist because it is very convenient to assess a lot of food and photo taking sceneries. The thing is, it is not exactly easy to find the taxi will only send you to a place nearby and then you would have to figure out how to go to the hotel. There are some rooms on the second level so it might be a bit tiring to climb up the stairs but we were fortunate to get rooms on the ground floor with a courtyard view. Do look out for mosquitoes but there are mosquito repellent provided. Breakfast is also provided, we had noodles and some condiments. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel.

5-Star Experience at INDIGO Jinji Lake: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My stay at INDIGO Jinji Lake was nothing short of magical, thanks to the outstanding service of Scott, our dedicated concierge. From the moment we arrived, Scott went above and beyond—personally greeting us with warmth, upgrading our reservation to a panoramic-suite with floor-to-ceiling views of the iconic Golden Rooster Lake and the Suzhou Ferris Wheel, and ensuring every detail of our trip was flawless. His proactive approach and genuine enthusiasm made us feel like VIPs. The suite itself was a standout: sleek modern design blended with subtle Suzhou-inspired elements, while the lake-view bathroom offered breathtaking vistas day and night. Scott even arranged a private stroll along the lakeside and recommended hidden gems nearby. Why I’d Return: • Prime Location: Steps from the Ferris wheel, art galleries, and vibrant dining. • Luxurious Amenities: A 24-hour gym, chic pool, and tech-forward rooms. • Unmatched Service: Scott’s attentiveness turned a great trip into an unforgettable memory. If you’re visiting Suzhou, INDIGO Jinji Lake—paired with Scott’s stellar hospitality—is a must!

I stayed at Suzhou Liuxiang Hotel and booked the Refreshing Double Bed room, which was a very comfortable and pleasant stay. The room was clean, bright, and well maintained, with a comfortable bed and effective air-conditioning which is perfect after a long day of walking around Suzhou. The location is a major highlight, situated between Guanqian Street and Pingjiang Road, making it extremely convenient for shopping, sightseeing, and exploring local food spots. Many attractions and eateries are within walking distance. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, it offers great value for money and is a solid choice for travelers who want comfort, cleanliness, and a central location in Suzhou.

I had a wonderful stay at Wenlv Gusu Yard Donghuali. It’s more of a charming 民宿 than a traditional hotel, and that’s exactly what makes the experience so special. The service was exceptional. We had very heavy luggages, and the staff immediately offered to help us carry them up the stairs to our rooms. If you order food delivery, the staff will also kindly bring it straight to your room, and they were consistently helpful with any of our requests. They also prepare a healthy and delicious breakfast every morning, which was a lovely way to start the day. The location can be a little inconvenient at first as the 民宿 is tucked deep inside a quiet lane, but once you get oriented, you’ll find that it is actually very close to many popular attractions. We appreciated the balance - peaceful surroundings while still being within walking distance of key sights. Our room was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, with beautiful views of the courtyard. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.

有咖啡館又有烘培坊的酒店，還是太全面了！ 設施都很新，第一次見可愛的小木梳子，好好用～房間裏很亮堂，整潔無異味，電視也特別大，床品很親膚，有浴袍和徠芬吹風機提供。 服務很周到，因為有工作任務一直在忙，咖啡和麪包都可以點好給我送到房間，有什麼需要都會及時幫忙解決，很貼心。 金雞湖太美啦，來看話劇的，酒店位置就在蘇州文化藝術中心旁邊，走幾步路就到了，早晚風景都很好，還會再來的！

Faciliteiten: De faciliteiten zijn geweldig. Zodra u binnenkomt, voelt u de zorg van de ontwerper. De douche, het toilet en de wastafel zijn allemaal apart, zodat een gezin hier zonder enige impact op het gebruik kan verblijven. Hygiëne: Zorgvuldig schoongemaakt Omgeving: Het hotel is prachtig ingericht in antieke stijl met kenmerken van Suzhou. Het heeft een mooi aangelegde tuin, biedt bij elke stap een nieuw uitzicht en heeft zeer goede verlichting. Service: De service was erg hartelijk, de mooie dame bij de receptie was attent en attent, en ze bood ons ook gratis afternoon tea aan en de gebakjes waren heerlijk. Het algemene gevoel is heel goed. Suzhou heeft prachtige mensen en een prachtig landschap. Ik kom de volgende keer zeker weer. Ik raad het iedereen aan.

We verbleven in Artyzen Habitat Suzhou en waren over het algemeen zeer tevreden. De locatie is uitstekend – gunstig gelegen ten opzichte van de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden. Het interieur is werkelijk prachtig – modern, stijlvol en smaakvol. De kamers zijn ruim, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Het ontbijt was ook een hoogtepunt – heerlijk, gevarieerd en bereid met hoogwaardige ingrediënten. Helaas was de service echter een grote teleurstelling. Voor een hotel dat zichzelf als 5-sterrenhotel presenteert, was de service ronduit onder de maat – zelfs naar 3-sterrennormen zou het als slecht worden beschouwd. Bij aankomst werd ik door niemand begroet bij de ingang en werd er geen hulp geboden met mijn bagage – ik moest zelf een zware koffer uit de taxi tillen. Het werd nog verrassender: ik moest door het hotel lopen op zoek naar personeel om in te checken, omdat er om 21:00 uur niemand bij de receptie was. Bij het uitchecken herhaalde hetzelfde verhaal zich – geen hulp met de bagage, geen afscheid. Het hotel is werkelijk prachtig en comfortabel, maar het serviceniveau voldoet niet aan de geadverteerde standaard. Ik hoop dat het management hier nota van neemt, want het hotel heeft echt veel potentie.

We booked two great little rooms here on the main floor. One of them was GORGEOUS and had a little balcony that you could sit in the sun in the morning. The other room was clean and tidy but more basic. The owner was so nice. He answered all my questions on WeChat, waited up for us in the evening to let us in and helped store our bags the next morning when we went for a walk. **NOTE: to enter the old town you will need to pay 100 rmb per person if entering before 5:00 PM. If you plan on staying here keep this in mind. If you’re wanting to explore the city that day then great! You can walk around and see the attractions. Otherwise, wait until after 5:00 PM to check in.

I arrived in pouring rain. I thought I could walk to my hotel but it was impossible in the downpour. I didn’t want to bother any hotel owner.   I didn’t and still don’t  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 didn’t 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 didn’t know that no cars, nor motorcycles, nor bicycles are allowed. Without him I would have arrived the hotel easily.  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.  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 won’t 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 it’s own personality, is different and has its distinctive decoration. The owners said they decorated them themselves. I love the decoration and especially the lighting.  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 .  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.  Do check with the owner for up to date information.  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.  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.  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.  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 don’t 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  couldn’t get in the rest of the places. It is unnecessary to require proof of entrance because you can’t enter the area without a ticket.
