Hotel berhampiran Pingjiang Road, Suzhou

My family and I totally enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean and amenities are really good. The service staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. The location is actually very good for tourist because it is very convenient to assess a lot of food and photo taking sceneries. The thing is, it is not exactly easy to find the taxi will only send you to a place nearby and then you would have to figure out how to go to the hotel. There are some rooms on the second level so it might be a bit tiring to climb up the stairs but we were fortunate to get rooms on the ground floor with a courtyard view. Do look out for mosquitoes but there are mosquito repellent provided. Breakfast is also provided, we had noodles and some condiments. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel.

此次蘇州之行是陪孩子來看演唱會的，作為一個東北人第一次來蘇州還是挺期待的，入住蘇州金雞湖L酒店是明智的選擇，之前在網上選訂了三家酒店，一家是老城區桃花塢街區裏的，一家是東方之門附近的五星酒店，還有就是這家蘇州金雞湖L酒店了，最終選定的原因就是它比較新，看評論還是可以的，也看了帶圖片的評論看着挺有調性的（其實當時還是有點兒怕是找人刷評論的），但是到店之後顧慮解除了，真的和圖片一樣。還有就是服務也是很好的，挺熱情周到的，我們由於航班延誤半夜到店辦的入住，服務人員還贈給我們麪包品嚐，早餐也是超級推薦的，我們入住了5晚，每天早餐都是相同菜單但是我們一點也沒覺着吃的很單一，選擇還是挺多的。還有酒店裡到處都是可以拍照的場景，喜歡拍照的小朋友們可以來，周邊環境也很好，出去就是金雞湖月光碼頭，周邊都是飯店，很有文化氣息，離地鐵站也很近，總之超級推薦，其他請看圖吧！

We had a really wonderful stay at this hotel, and one of the biggest reasons was the outstanding service from the front desk team. From the moment we arrived until check-out, they were incredibly warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. They kindly helped arrange a better room for us, which made my stay even more enjoyable and comfortable. Plus, they provided children's slippers and toothbrushes at check-in, showing great hospitality towards kids. The hotel is new and very clean. The location is absolutely excellent, near the Pinjiang Road area, one of the most beautiful and famous ancient streets in Suzhou. Highly recommend, we’ll definitely book here again next time.

I had a great stay! The front desk staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was not only delicious but also nicely presented. The atmosphere of the place was very comfortable and relaxing.

I had the best experience possible. The owner is a perfect host, we had a great time talking to her and sharing experiences. The structure is so well designed and decorated, it felt like a magic ancient world! Don’t miss the chance to enhance you trip to Zhouzhuang, book it now!!

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. 

Segala-galanya tentang hotel ini hebat. Penginapan itu sendiri adalah tarikan. Bilik dan persekitarannya menakjubkan. Kagum sepanjang jalan dari luar hingga ke dalam. Sarapan adalah baik tetapi bukan yang terbaik.

We stayed 1 night in this lovely hotel on a Sunday night. We managed to check in early at 1 pm and was upgraded from the 30 sqm king room we booked to a larger 41 sqm room. The room is new and used lovely bath amenities, an Australian hotel brand. Our stay came with a set dinner for 2 persons and the food was delicious. The pricing in the hotel restaurant is similar or cheaper than any other regular Chinese restaurant outside. We paid the next day at lunch time to eat Chinese food at the hotel again as the restaurant environment is nice and service is good. They have a very well equipped gym which unfortunately we did not have time to use during our 24 hour stay. Our room rate included breakfast and the selection was generous, the only negative would be the coffee beans they used are too acidic but that’s a personal preference. The location of the hotel is slightly to 1 side of the Suzhou old city but some sights like 网师园 are walking distance. Suzhou city is actually quite spread out, no one location is best for sightseeing. The great thing is didi only cost less than RMB10 per ride from this hotel so it is still very convenient. I would not bother with the Suzhou subway, it is not as convenient as the one in Shanghai. Oh yes, the cable TV have english programming which is nice for a hotel in China. I believe this Artyzen Habitat brand is managed by the Macau Shun Tak group. Will stay here again for good value and service. 这个酒店非常好，值得回来再住。五星级的设施，四星级的价钱。

It was an amazing journey staying in this hotel! Absolutely wonderful environment and service here. Fully recommended to my friends who plan to travel to Suzhou!
