The best thing about the room is the location. It is right next to Ping Jiang Lu River area. We could go there early in the morning to enjoy the river and scenery before the crowd came. The room was quite dark. There was hardly any natural light other than light from a small air well. Not sure whether this is the same with other room types. The floor and furnishings are mostly black or dark in colour. Placement and design of room lighting could be improved. The room is quiet and good for a restful sleep. The tea and coffee provided in the room is delicious.

The hotel is located in Daru Alley, right next to Pingjiang Road, and has a lot of character. It features a charming small courtyard. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the service was also good.

Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for your appreciation of our courtyard. Duanshan Hall embodies the charm of Suzhou's classical gardens. Each season offers its own unique scenery, each with its own significance. The design and layout of the courtyard adhere to the traditional Suzhou garden style, permeating the gentle charm of the Jiangnan region. Whether listening to the rain under the eaves, enjoying tea on a sunny day, or admiring the snow in winter, it is a truly pleasant experience. Thank you again for your recognition and love for us. We look forward to welcoming you!

Facilities: The hotel is a cleverly conceived dispersed boutique property, transformed from old Qing Dynasty residences. The facilities are comprehensive and well-appointed, ensuring a very comfortable stay. Cleanliness: The cleanliness was excellent. Environment: The setting is peaceful and quiet, providing a very comfortable and relaxing stay. Located right on Pingjiang Road Scenic Area, it's incredibly convenient for walking to major attractions such as the Humble Administrator's Garden, Lion Grove Garden, and Suzhou Museum. Service: Absolutely fantastic. We received a room upgrade and were even given a complimentary souvenir. The breakfast was also very good, with the hotel delivering it directly to the room for guests to enjoy in private.

The room was quite spacious, offering a comfortable stay. However, as it's an older building, the maintenance and upkeep of the facilities are somewhat limited. At 3 AM, my child ended up battling a giant centipede. Despite this, the service attitude was good, making it quite suitable for introverts.

We hope you will come back to experience our services again!

Location is unbeatable! Less than 3 minutes walk to PingJiang Road where all tbe food and shops are. It’s a small boutique hotel, so don’t expect facilities, but the basics are all covered. Great for a short stay.

I was very pleased with the room. However, the moment I stepped through the courtyard gate, I was completely taken aback! It truly had everything: pavilions, trees, and beautiful interplay of light and shadow, perfectly embodying the phrase 'small but perfectly formed'. It just so happened that it was a rainy day in Suzhou, and honestly, I didn't feel like stepping out at all. The following morning, as soon as the weather cleared, the staff promptly delivered breakfast right to our courtyard. Enjoying it there, under the blue sky, had a distinct and lovely charm. Overall, the experience was outstanding, and I'd love to visit again if the opportunity arises.

The service was excellent and incredibly attentive. While the staircase was a bit steep, a wonderfully thoughtful staff member even helped us carry our luggage down. The beautiful surroundings and subdued lighting created a fantastic ambiance, perfectly embodying its secluded and tranquil style.

The location is fantastic, very close to Pingjiang Road. It's a peaceful haven in a lively area, making it perfect for families and friends. Enjoying breakfast in the courtyard is a wonderful and relaxing experience. If you enjoy Pingtan (Suzhou traditional storytelling and ballad singing) or travel photography, you'll find many excellent choices nearby.

The soundproofing is really bad. Don't expect too much from the service at a B&B.

Response from Property: 尊敬的客人,非常抱歉!沒能讓您有個滿意的入住體驗,因端善堂屬於蘇州市控保建築,改建自名人故居,儘可能保留建築原貌的基礎上進行修繕,大部分為木質結構,在隔音上確實稍有欠缺,改造時已加裝隔音棉,另前台配備了降噪耳塞,儘可能改善隔音問題;關於服務沒能讓您有個滿意的體驗我們感到非常抱歉,無論如何,讓您在姑蘇小院有個不愉快的經歷,都是我們工作不到位,我們致力於讓每位客人都能有個滿意的體驗,解決問題永遠是第一位的,事後多少彌補都解決不了當時的不開心,如有任何需求,都歡迎在店裡及時聯繫工作人員,24小時管家隨時可聯繫,仍然希望在未來有機會再來小院,希望屆時能讓您有個滿意的入住體驗♥♥

This hotel, housed in a former Qing Dynasty mansion, offers attentive front desk service. Its prime location right on Pingjiang Road makes it incredibly convenient for sightseeing and getting around. I'll definitely choose Gusu Xiaoyuan Duanshan Tang again on my next visit to Suzhou.
