Location is pretty good, opposite to the nanyuan hotel(5*) ,5 minutes walk to master net garden & 20 minutes to guanqian street; General Lin-biao's underground shelter & Chiang wei-guo's old house worth a visit(in nanyuan hotel).

Hot and humid in Suzhou during this time. Great location and close to everything. The town is really wonderful with very nice people. The room was fine for what we needed. Do not open your windows for mosquitoes are pretty healthy at this time. Outside area is lovely but, wear your repellant at night. I would stay here again. Bottled... More

Although the room was a reasonable size, we found that the bathroom was very moldy around the sink and shower. We could hear a man coughing all night in the room beside us, so definitely is not sound proof. We were on a bus tour and one of the girls on the tour got bug bites after staying in this... More

This hotel is well placed for accessing local shops and restaurants and has a lovely and well-maintained garden area. However, although we were supposed to be staying in a 5 * hotel we were in the older part where the rooms are quite shabby and the maintenance is patchy. On the other side of the gardens is the newer and... More

We were in what seemed to be the newer building, the room was a good size, the bed very comfortable and there was a computer offering free internet access in the room. This was... More

Enjoyed the Nanlin - wished the pool was closer. Nice room but a/c wouldn't cool it down enough - too hot to sleep. Good breakfast Nice to walk about the shops Good Italian restaurant outside - the Marco Polo - enjoyed the change.

Our travel agency booked us at the Nanlin Hotel. It was one of three hotels we stayed at in the Jiangsu province in China. Upon arriving at the hotel, the exterior was nothing special, and gives no indication as to the well designed and immaculate interior. The first thing you'll notice when checking in is the small spiral staircase just... More

The pictures made it look so inviting but in reality it was cold - they could not turn on the heat even though they said that they would and the reason the mattress is so hard is because the bed is just a box spring - extremely uncomfortable. Location is OK but I felt that if we were not in... More

We stayed here as part of a group tour of China. The place was really nice, and I felt it had an excellent location -- an easy walk to shops, restaurants, etc., or for a quieter alternative, the hotel has a nice garden to just hang out in as well. When we arrived in the evening, there was a pianist... More
