Liked: Great location, very cool building... A bit of the old and new, our room had so much character and felt like a retreat. Modern bathrooms, clean towels, kettle in the room, free use of laundry machine! Yes, Free! Disliked: The front desk staff were very unorganized, they gave us keys to 2 different, already occupied rooms. When we went... More

An old traditional house, converted in an atmospheric and functional hostel on a street - longing a canal - where all the people go for a nice stroll or to sit at one of the many tea houses. You cannot imagine anything nicer, and more "Chinese" that this place. It has a café nearby where you can have breakfast with... More

Booked a 2-twin bed room with bathroom, overlooking the canal. The decor is fantastic - very classic and charming. The location on the pedestrian walkway can't be beat. The staff is not extraordinarily helpful - I asked for a more affordable Chinese food option for dinner, and a staff member recommended a place that served up cold food that should've... More

I booked this hostle because I was traveling with my son and he said the hostels are better than hotels beacuse of the cheaper price, better location, you can share experiences with the other customers, etc. After this experience I think I'll never stayed in another hostel. The building was nice and well located in the historic center of the... More

The rooms in this hostel are snug and cute with lovely traditional wooden chinese beds and wooden frame windows with an authentic feel all looking into a lovely courtyard. There was a seperate shower area in the bathroom which always gains points, hot water and good water pressure. Laundry facilities available. The rooms were clean and excellent value for money...

This hostel's location is its major strength, in a historic district of Suzhou with several sites within close walking distance, and to the central commercial district within 10-15 minutes on foot. Right next door is a nicely decorated cafe, with 2 in-house cats, known as Maomi (sic) Cafe, with internet available. The staff are generally quite friendly and helpful with... More

The hostel is located on a very interesting lane (Pingjiang road) and it is about a 15-20 walk to the Humble Administrator's Garden and Suzhou Museum. There is also a bus stop nearby to catch a bus to Tiger Hill/train station. However, the room is really small for a double private ensuite. The staff are not exactly friendly or helpful.... More

We booked a private double ensuite with the hostel and were so impressed by what we got for the money. It's beautiful Chinese style old building, our room had a four poster bed, hot shower, aircon/heating (which we needed in March) and looked out on a small courtyard. Great location on a pretty street by a canal with lots of... More
