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

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

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
