The hostel is basically on the Pingjiang Lu, an historical street running parallel to waterways and one of the major highlights of Suzhou. The area is hence very nice and lively, even though this is not the largest historical area in Suzhou. The hostel itself is inside a nice historical building and my room had a canopy bed and a window on the internal courtyard.
ItalyI liked being able to have a private room and bathroom with air conditioning. It was fairly comfortable. Having laundry available was timely since I was more than halfway through my trip. Above all the staff were very helpful. I started to get a little sick and they let me hang out downstairs in the lounge after I checked out, and while I was waiting to go to the train station.
United States of AmericaBeautiful hostel, friendly, english-speaking staff, good hangout area, excellent location...one of the best hostel experiences in China by far!
ChinaThe location is great! It’s very closed to all the tourist places. The staff is helpful and friendly. The taste of the fourniture is also very good! Love it ❤️❤️❤️
FrancePerfect location! Right on the Pingjiang canal street, surrounded by the gorgeous buildings of the old town! Beautiful old Chinese style Inn, cosy and quiet. Had a decent western menu at fair prices. Staff were super helpful with giving us directions to all the tourist sights. Suzhou is just such a stunning town! From the ancient canal district to the ultra modern business district, where the spectacular arched tower 'The east gate of the orient' is located. It has to be seen to be believed. Would stay here again in a flash.
PortugalGreat lobby and hangout area. Friendly staff. Excellent location

United States of AmericaLocation was excellent. Staff friendly. Room clean. Decorations tasteful. Felt more like a boutique hotel than a hostel.
CanadaThe hostel really looks great. Rooms are comfortable besides being dark. The location is really convenient. The staff is really nice.
FranceThis is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Everything is exactly like the pictures, and very cute and cosy. Also, it was the first "normal" mattress I've seen during my three weeks in China :) The location is fantastic too!
