Hotel Dengan Bar di Jiangsu, China

The most delightful surprise of my Suzhou trip was stumbling upon Anshe Hotel! Tucked away in Jianxin Lane, Gusu District, this hidden gem perfectly balances location, living experience, and value for money, making every trip effortless and pleasant. It's definitely my top choice for any future visits to Suzhou. The location is simply phenomenal, making getting around incredibly convenient! It's just a 2-minute walk from Exit 5 of Lindun Road subway station, so even with luggage, you won't have to go out of your way. Turn left out of the hotel, and in 3 minutes, you'll find yourself on Pingjiang Road's cobblestone alleys, perfect for catching the morning light before the crowds arrive, or enjoying a bowl of tangzhou (sweet porridge) accompanied by Pingtan storytelling in the evening. Turn right, and a 10-minute walk takes you directly to Guanqian Street, where you can easily find famous eateries like Yaba Shengjian and Lu Changxing noodles. The vibrant night market atmosphere is also right at your fingertips. Getting to Suzhou Museum and the Humble Administrator's Garden is also a breeze, just two subway stops away, eliminating any travel hassle. It truly allows for a ”step out and explore” kind of travel freedom.

The location is excellent, and the high-floor view is quite good. The afternoon tea included in the Trip.com package was incredibly good value for money, I just forgot to take a picture before eating it. The room is quite spacious, clean, and tidy. The facilities aren't brand new; there's no high-speed hairdryer or smart toilet, and the power outlet next to the desk was a bit difficult to open. There's only one tissue box, placed on the vanity. However, these are minor issues and don't really matter; they're easily adjustable. What I found unacceptable were two problems. Firstly, the elevator shaft connecting the suspended lobby to the first floor constantly emitted a whistling wind sound, which was noisy and unsettling. Secondly, I'm not sure if the air conditioning system is old and ineffective, or if they're saving energy and haven't turned it on properly. I couldn't adjust the temperature or mode. Outside, the temperature was dropping fast, nearing zero degrees, yet even with the in-room AC control set to 28°C, there was still no airflow. I called the front desk, and it took an age for someone to arrive. They pointed a forehead thermometer at the vent, it beeped, and they claimed the vent was blowing 26°C, saying there was no problem and that this was the set temperature, controlled centrally by the hotel. The problem is, I had the whimsical idea to hold a paper-thin tissue up to the vent, and it didn't even flutter.

Everything was top tier. From the check-in where I was upgraded to a river view room, the clean, spacious and inviting room to the service and superb breakfast. The view from the restaurant was amazing. This was my pre birthday trip and the Hyatt made it so special. I even got a slice to birthday cake. The lady at the front desk who checked me in spoke really good English and was so kind and caring and she’s also a Gemini 😁🎉 I would 100% recommend and come back here.

This hotel is perfectly situated right on the bustling Guanqian Street, meaning as soon as you step out, you're surrounded by an array of shops, authentic local snacks, and popular photo ops. It's incredibly convenient for both shopping and dining. I was particularly impressed by the hotel's cleanliness standards. The lobby, hallways, and other public areas were spotless, with a faint, pleasant scent in the air. The room cleaning was even more meticulous; the bedding was pristine white, soft, and comfortable to the touch. The hotel boasts a modern, minimalist design with clean lines and warm tones, giving it a sophisticated feel. The smart control system was easy to use, significantly enhancing the high-tech and comfort levels of my stay. What surprised me most was the self-service laundry room – it effortlessly solved the problem of changing clothes, making my trip much more relaxed. Another highlight is the hotel's terrace; it's a fantastic spot to unwind after a day of exploring, and at night, it's perfect for photos. From check-in to check-out, every staff member greeted me with a smile and a warm, yet professional, demeanor. The front desk was efficient and professional, answering all my questions and even kindly recommending nearby restaurants and sightseeing routes. Room service was prompt; whenever I needed something replenished, a quick call brought it right to my door, making me feel truly cared for. Overall, it was a flawless stay, and next time I'm in Suzhou, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place.

This is a mid-to-high-end hotel under Huazhu, so the brand quality is guaranteed. The location is excellent, right next to the Confucius Temple. It's also very new, yet surprisingly, there's no renovation smell. The front desk service was superb; they recommended local eateries and even mentioned I could order takeout. They upgraded me to a family room, which was huge, featuring a 1.8m double bed and a 1.35m single bed. It could easily accommodate a family of three or even four. The bathroom was also spacious, and the shower had great water pressure. Just a short walk downstairs, there's a Lawson, Cha Yan Yue Se (a popular tea shop), and various snack stalls.

Our stay at the Crowne Plaza was absolutely fantastic! As a standard five-star hotel, it's incredibly well-equipped with an executive lounge, gym, and heated swimming pool. The rooms are spacious and clean, with comfortable bedding, perfect for both work and relaxation. The breakfast offers a wide variety of both Western and Chinese options, and the service is attentive and prompt – even the small details reflect professionalism. A special shout-out to Cecelia and Layla! Whether for business or leisure, it's a truly comfortable experience with amazing value for money!

The Hanamura Ryokan by Slender West Lake is located near the south gate of the Slender West Lake Scenic Area, about a 5-minute walk from the attraction. There are plenty of restaurants, foot massage parlors, and traditional scrubbing baths nearby. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, proactively helping with luggage to the room and even sending a robot with a bedtime dessert.

The hotel facilities are excellent, and its location in the famous Xinjiekou bustling area makes getting around incredibly convenient. Right outside, you'll find a variety of restaurants and two great coffee shops. What really stood out was having Peet's coffee capsules and a Dyson hairdryer in the room – super convenient! The circular bay windows in the room offered stunning views, with the autumn scenery and the glow of the sunset complementing each other beautifully. Overall, the experience was fantastic and definitely a highlight of our trip.

Our trip was an excellent experience! The concierge, Fiona, reached out early via WeChat, arranged a fantastic room for us, and even booked a table with a window view at the Chinese restaurant. She was incredibly warm and lovely, always responding and resolving any issues immediately. The hotel has a great location and wonderful views. The duck blood vermicelli soup at breakfast was delicious. We also enjoyed drinks at the rooftop bar. The concierge service was outstanding; a particularly enthusiastic doorman, Lu Yuanzhen, helped us with our luggage every time we came and went, and our bags were always delivered to our room. This hotel offers truly exceptional service. I'll definitely choose InterContinental again on my next visit to Nanjing. Our first trip of the New Year was absolutely delightful. Wishing everyone here a Happy New Year!
