Ulasan Duxinshe Homestay (Pingjiang Road Shop)

Love that the homestay was within the quiet neighbourhood, it is walking distance to pingjiang street & humble administrator garden, and around 20 minute walk away from the nearest metro station. overall had a good stay here with friendly service staff.

The staff are very nice and willing to help if you need extra water. The location is close enough to the main touristy street but far enough away to be quiet. The room itself is very clean and well-equipped--we liked the tea set. Our only problem was that the bidet did not work :( (at least the toilet flushed though!)

First off I think it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to know that the description of amenities etc. That C-Trip has on this page is not correct at all. This is for C-Trip to fix, but it might have helped us manage our expectations better. There is no restaurant, no porter, no Concierge car etc. This place is a Home Stay, not a hotel. It does not have all the amenities of a hotel. And that is important. But the people who run it, do so with kindness and a friendly style, however it is not a slick, smooth running establishment so don't expect that. In terms of accommodation, the room was nice and spacious, the bathroom with the Japanese toilet was fun, and it was clean. There was bottled water and tea provided, though just for the first day, and there was great air-conditioning. There is also a washing machine to do a bit of laundry and a place to dry it which also happens to be on the communal balcony (remember this is a home not a hotel). The bins in our room were not emptied every day, and we were not sure if we had to do it, or if there was a room service. That said, the Family who run it are absolutely adorable, Grandma is lovely. It is clear they were opening their home to travellers. And there are two cuddly kitties with whom a spent a cuddly time. One of the greatest advantages in my opinion but also perhaps for some travellers is the setting. It is in old Suzhou Hutongs, which are not everyone's cup of tea, they are sometimes very "grass roots" and not in a pleasant way. However, for me personally it was a wonderful way to see how people live away from the glitz and the glamour. It is a close walk to Pingjiang Lu, and lots of gardens are no more than 15mins away. We had a pleasant little stay here.

Fantastic location, away from the busy roads meaning it’s really quiet at night but close enough so you can get to where you need to be. The room felt quite modern and was acceptably clean. Even though I don’t think English could be spoken, we received very nice hospitality from who we believe were the owners and a simple check-in.

Room is clean and has quite good location near Pingjiang road. However, the room description says there is balcony with river view, but actually the room doesn’t have balcony; you need to go out to the common hall to see a little bit of view. Worst thing is the toilet, the water pressure is too weak that flushing is not enough, you need to manually pour water from the bucket to the toilet to flush. This makes me super annoyed and didn’t want to use the toilet at all. Luckily i only stay for one night.

Location is good. 5min walk to Pingjiang Road. Noisy at night with periodic beeping.

The neighbourhood is nice and the cats are cute. It is located in the quieter area of the Ping Jiang road, where u are greeted with locals washing clothes and chatting near the river every morning. It is very close to the tourists spots and can arrive to the ping tan performance on foot. However, the hygiene condition is definitely not the best for the price. In fact, the facilities in the room are quite old and rusty. But overall it’s a pleasant and acceptable stay.

This is such a lovely little homestay! We struggled to find the entrance since Tencent Maps sent us a street over, but after adding them on WeChat they sent us a pin right away and helped us make it (see photo!). The room was clean, well-air-conditioned, well thought out, and we had so much fun with the Japanese toilet! My chinese is limited to basic conversation only but staff were friendly and the lady at the desk on the day we checked out showed us her newborn kittens! Super super happy all round with this stay! Note to other guests: - Taxis will have to drop you a few streets away as much of the old town's streets are too narrow for cars. - The entrance is right on the canal, not round a corner. - The door is open at all times, so don't worry if you're back late!

Excellent little guesthouse just a five minute walk from Pingjiang walking street. Located in the middle of a network of traditional houses and lanes, it's an ideal place to get that traditional feel of old Suzhou. The room was cozy, warm, and clean. Highly recommended.

331m to main tourist attraction of Pingjiang Lu.

Absolutely wonderful home stay right along the canal. The building is a older, but everything is so comfortable that it is ok! Highly recommend. Location is great too — just a short walk from Pingjiang Road but without any of the noise.

民宿有一衹布偶，小朋友一進去就擼個不停。衞生乾淨，樓上有露天曬衣服的地方。民宿老闆帶着一個和善的老奶奶住。位置是老城區的老房子裏面，打車到不了民宿門口，要走一段路。當地的黃包車師傅帶遊客穿梭在小巷子裏，也會在門口打卡拍照。可以走路到獅子林和拙政園，平江路。位置非常不錯。黃包車師傅説我們入住的價格不算高也不算低，屬於性價比挺好的。想要來蘇州體驗當地的特色，就應該選這樣的民宿。

有洗衣房但烘乾機壞了，洗衣機脱水很差像脱不幹。要額外脱水。我出去玩都是開24-26度的空調朋友説要熱死。來到他家我開16度都覺得不是很冷。聽別人説這家是以前的酒店後面不做了這家接手翻修了，但空調沒換，至少二三十年了這空調，包漿了。但三百的價位你在這片根本找不到，衹能説有好有壞了，離上海火車站近。

小院子古色古香的人賊拉喜歡，還有貓咪🐈可以擼貓玩。其次設施還比較全，環境也很衞生。附近的景點蠻近的，四周都是本地的原住居民，交通也比較方便。民宿設計的確實不錯😻
