We booked two rooms for 3 friends and this was better than a suite in many other places. The host connected our rooms and helped with queries. Always available. Will stay again when in town!

The hotel is located just the opposite of the tourist information center and the activity area with a short alley walking inside. The room is clean and tidy.

This is a nice little guesthouse in the middle of the Tongli Old Town. The room was clean and comfortable, with all the amenities rather basic, as expected. The owner is quite friendly and helpful, made check in easy, and offered some suggestions about touring the town. The entrance is off an alley that is well-marked, but easy to overlook.

This little gem in Tongli old town is down a small alley, right off the main plaza. It's a basic, small establishment, but was everything was nice about it. It was also reasonably quiet at night despite loud music in the plaza.

The location is very good, just opposite the Tuisi Garden, and it is very convenient for travel. The owner is very welcoming. The inn has a yard, the environment is good, and it is also very quiet. The facilities are also OK, recommended.

The inn is just opposite the Tuisi Garden, in the center of the ancient town, and is very convenient to go everywhere. The boss is very welcoming. The patio downstairs and the corridor on the second floor are full of green plants. I believe it will be very beautiful in the spring when the flowers bloom.

A wonderful hotel. The building and rooms are very colorful and maintain a traditional style, which was an important selection criterion for me. Initially, we booked the cheapest room, but the owner of the hotel changed our room to a more spacious one. I was traveling with my daughter, and in the spacious room on the second floor we were able to comfortably accommodate and unpack all our things. The room also has a separate bathroom with a window. Thanks to the powerful air conditioner, the room was comfortable, while the outside temperature reached 38C. The room also had a TV and a refrigerator. The bed is wide, and the bed linen is clean.
The hotel is located in the center of the village, leaving the hotel you can comfortably walk in any direction, and visit the sights.
The owner of the hotel is a very nice and kind person. He always helped us with buying groceries, and sometimes treated us to ice cream, cookies and tea, and also told us which places are worth visiting in Tongli and Suzhou. There are a lot of flowers and plants around his house, we were even lucky enough to see a lotus blooming in a small pond.

The boss is very nice, the room is very clean, I took my kids out to play during the summer vacation and found it casually. I didn't expect it to exceed my expectations. It is also very convenient to travel in the ancient town

It rained, and the boss came to pick us up. The inn is very close to Tuisi Garden, just opposite it! The room was cleaned by the boss himself and was very clean. The boss also told us that it would be cheaper to buy Tuisi Garden tickets from an app. The owner of the boat also told us how to get a cheaper ride. He was a very kind and heart-warming owner. He wished the inn a prosperous business, abundant financial resources, and a steady flow of guests!

The main bed is big enough for a family trip. The location is convenient. It can be seen that the owner takes good care of it.

An excellent guesthouse option at a reasonable price. Special thanks to the owner for his hospitality and help! The location is excellent, close to the entrance to the village. This is important if you have a suitcase. At the same time, the room is very quiet, since the windows face the courtyard, there is absolutely no noise from the street. The shower also has a window overlooking the old roofs, birds sing in the morning. The decor is in Chinese style, very suitable for such a trip depending on your mood. Spacious shower, everything you need in the room. Good towels and linen. We took a large 32m non-smoking room on the 2nd floor. Everything is great, especially for this price.

It's clean and tidy, and the environment is quiet. It feels like a Jiangnan water town, with the smell of fireworks. It's nice to sit in the small yard and bask in the sun.
