Find Top Inns in Suzhou

We booked two rooms by the river, and the view was absolutely beautiful. The rooms themselves were clean and dry, which was great. The hostess was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We even received a small gift when we left! Looking forward to staying here again!

Perfect! 100% recommend and would stay again. Clean, beautiful ******* style rooms, very nice owners, right in the watertown but tucked away from the busy area. The rooftop room was ideal for a single person but may feel small for two because of the slanted roof. But you get the rooftop/balcony which feels like an extension of your space. If you are sensitive to sound - It’s not 100% soundproof. You can hear the guests from other rooms a bit and it may get noisy early in the morning because of locals waking up to go to work, but that’s just how it is. Note: tickets are needed to enter the watertown between 8am-5pm, talk to the owners before you get them as he may get it at a reduced price. Alternatively I guess you can try arriving after 17 😅.

This guesthouse is really great! It has its own unique charm, the surroundings are beautiful, and it's super clean and tidy. A shuttle picked us up right at the parking lot, and it's only about a hundred meters from the scenic area entrance, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The guesthouse also has its own restaurant, and the dishes are exquisitely prepared and taste amazing. Highly, highly recommend! 👍👍👍

One of the loveliest stays I have had anywhere! Staff is warm and welcoming and very helpful. The rooms was immaculate. The bath was *heaven*. The bed was extremely comfortable (not too soft not too hard). There is coffee onsite and location can’t be beat! It is a 5min walk to Tuisui Garden! One small thing to keep in mind, the hotel is in the middle of Tongli (amazing location) which is a no cars village. You have to walk about 10min from the gate. Keep this in mind. If you have a lot of luggage, perhaps message ahead and ask the staff to meet you and help you carry. They are wonderful! A personal story, I arrived very late at night and got lost in the dark. Even though it was almost midnight, the staff came to find me and walk me to the hotel. Highly recommend! Wish I could stay a week!!

This guesthouse was the hidden gem of our trip! The room looked exactly like the pictures, every corner was picture-perfect, and my friends kept asking for the address on social media. The decor was romantic and cozy, and it was wonderfully quiet and undisturbed at night. The location is fantastic, right within the scenic area and central business district, making getting around super convenient. The power outlets in the room were thoughtfully placed, the bathroom had plenty of hot water and stable pressure, the toiletries smelled great, the natural light was excellent, and the view from the window was superb. Such a 'home away from home' experience is truly rare to find!

This guesthouse is housed in the former residence of the original owner of Tuisi Garden from the Qing Dynasty, and it's absolutely charming. The room was spacious, bright, and clean, with a beautiful view from the window and even a moon-gazing terrace – very much in the style of a Jiangnan water town. Downstairs, there's also a lovely little courtyard perfect for admiring the moon. The owner is incredibly kind and friendly. And the knowledgeable landlady, she has such great insights into Tuisi Garden. I absolutely love this guesthouse!

Willows are green and reflect the blue waves. Soft silk dances in the spring. The most affectionate place is Yuejuli, which holds many dreams of tourists. The town after the rain is like a dream and a painting. The stone road under your feet is a thousand years old at a glance... Yueju Inn is where the dream begins. The wooden door opens lightly, and you get a quiet world. The smile is warm like the spring breeze. A cup of tea, a lamp, and a warm time. If you go to Suzhou, you must come to Tongli. If you go to Tongli, you must be in Yueju

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. 

Very good, the facilities are quite attentive, the hygiene is good, the environment is beautiful, I booked a room but couldn't find it, the store contacted me and arranged someone to pick me up directly. Thank you

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel located inside the ancient water town. The highlight was the lovely balcony overlooking the river, offering a peaceful view that perfectly matched the historic surroundings. The lady in charge was exceptionally friendly and helpful—she personally came to fetch us and even arranged drop-off and pick-up at our designated points, which made our visit much smoother. As expected for a property within the ancient town, the facilities were quite basic, but that added to the authentic experience. We didn’t mind at all since the atmosphere was unique and charming. Food was never a concern, as there are plenty of eateries within walking distance, making it easy to find breakfast and meals throughout the day. Overall, this hotel is a simple yet welcoming place to stay, with warm hospitality and a beautiful riverside view that makes it memorable.
