I tangled online for a long time and chose this homestay! Overall it is very good, very clean and tidy! The boss sister is very good, and she also helps with luggage. She is very caring. The service is on call. The restaurant is on the first floor. There is also a table tennis table, a KTV room, and a mahjong machine room. All facilities are complete. I told you that you can use ~ casually. There is also a large platform upstairs. When the weather is good, it is really comfortable to blow a small wind on it to bask in the sun, drink coffee and chat. ~ If you come next time, you will stay at this ~ very warm! The breakfast boss is also very rich. There is no way to play around. We are a leisure tour. We sleep until we wake up naturally. Next time we need to make some adjustments to see the surrounding places to play! Time is a bit rushed, come back next time ~

Three days of the Dragon Boat Festival, I took the children and the family to stay in Shanshui Pavilion for two nights. The experience was very good. I gave a big praise 👍👍👍.
The room is very spacious, the decoration is very new, clean and refreshing, the focus is that the boss family is very warm and friendly, just staying in there has its own fruit, breakfast sleep late to 10 o'clock to eat..., it is a coincidence that the boss and I fellow villagers, feel very kind...
I originally planned to bring a bicycle to accompany the children to ride around the island, but unfortunately the weather is not beautiful and it has been raining, and I will come again next time...
A few days of relaxation and comfort, thank the boss and his family for their warm hospitality!
There are also small masters Xiaobao, 🐶 Dingtang, and they are very friendly together 🙏

TTuscany RoseI am absolutely in love with this hotel! First of all, the hotel is located inside the scenic spot. One of the staff called me in advance to arrange a time to pick me up at the entrance of the scenic spot. My Chinese is not good so normally it's very awkward for me to speak over the phone in Chinese but she was very patient with me which I appreciate. Not only did she escort me to the hotel but she also carried my luggage for me.
The decor inside the hotel has a beautiful, rustic asthetic which matches the feel of the ancient town. I really like table and chairs in my room, overlooking the pond. The pond also has koi fish and turtles! It was a beautiful touch that added to the overrall feel of the hotel. I loved these little details such as theovely traditional Chinese tea set (with a variety of complementary loose tea leaves), and the stylish coffee mugs.
Unfortunately I came to Zhouzhuang during a severe typhoon which caused a leak and power cut in my room, so when I alerted the staff, they immediately gave me a new room. They even helped me pack my things so I can change rooms as soon as possible. The new room I went to was equally as beautiful.
Not only is the hotel beautiful but it also has great amenities. Both rooms I stayed in had a stone bathtub which were both very deep -you could float it in! If you come here, I would recommend you bring some bubble bath with you like I did for maximum relaxation. I also made good use of the pool. The pool is a little small and a bit too shallow for an adult, but you can still have an enjoyable swim. Lastly, the tea room and cafés are also a nice addition to the hotel. My second room didn't have a table and chairs like the original one I booked, so I went to the tea room to eat my breakfast. It's also a cozy and comfortable room just to relax in if you're feeling lazy.
As I have mentioned throughout this review, the service is second to none. Not only did the staff help me get to the hotel, but after I checked out they also carried my luggage and escorted me to the taxi. Throughout my stay I was offered fresh fruit and coffee several times, and as I mentioned earlier, I was immediately helped when I had to change my room. Whenever I struggled to communicate in Mandarin, the staff would try their best to speak English or would be patient with my hesitation or mispronunciation in Mandarin. This is probably the best ever service I have experienced on my travels.
In summary, it's a beautiful hotel, in a convenient location with great facilities and helpful and kind staff. Not only will I come back again (and with my family next time) but I will recommend all my friends and colleagues to stay at this hotel if they ever plan to visit Zhouzhuang.
GGuest UserThe hotel is located in the core area of Pingjiang Road. It is right in the downtown area. It takes about ten minutes to walk to Suzhou Museum and Humble Administrator's Garden.
The hotel is renovated from an old house, retaining the style of Suzhou gardens. The environment is quiet and it is separated from the downtown by a wall.
There is a row of areas for making tea around the stove along the river in the hotel. It is very pleasant to blow the breeze in the warm spring afternoon.
This time, the child's birthday, the hotel provided a parent-child room, and also sent a very cute cake, and equipped with birthday props, which is really considerate.
The room is spacious, equipped with a bathtub and smart toilet, and the cloakroom and dressing table are large enough. Fruits, drinks, snacks, good night sweet soup, and Chinese and Western breakfast are all included.
If you drive, park in the parking lot opposite, and stay in the hotel for free.
WeChat butler service all day, special thanks to the front desk lady surnamed Xu, the service is very good, thoughtful and attentive. I will stay here next time I go to Suzhou.
AAmarFromUKWhen I booked, I saw that this hotel had 10,000+ positive reviews and other hotels had many less reviews. So my fear is that they were made by AI or fake reviews.
But having stayed for a week in June 2025. Here is my review.
The hotel has everything. It is so hard to find a hotel with everything. But this does
Big TV that can stream from phone
Separate shower and toilet rooms
Large fridge with a small freezer
Water pressure good
WiFi Good
Super clean
Friendly service
Laundry room with multiple washers and dryers and steamer (detergent provided)
Good looking lobby
Gym with treadmill, bike, bench and dumbells
I didn't use the tea room facilities
Good amount of clothes hangers in the room
Great AC that's controlled in room
Okay breakfast
There were some reviews on here complaining about the quality of the finishing. This is mildly true. there are small scuffs on wall. Small and doesn't detract from the stay.
The location is 15 min walk to shopping streets. Suzhou is flat so the walk is easy
Line 1 metro is 12 min walk away
There was some building noise due to a nearby shop doing some work, so we was offered an upgrade to a quieter room. This was nice and included a round bathtub. But even our standard smaller room had all the facilities and features listed above
New towels and such daily. Cleaned very well.
Andu in terms of features and facilities is comparable to Mecure, ManXin, Hilton. Maybe those places have slightly nicer finishes of material but considering Andu is almost half the cost, having a small mark on a wall is fine. Especially as everything you touch, tables, towels, sofa, shower, bed, floor are always super clean.
There are some general stores next door and the also sell fruit. Coffee shop opposite and a whole street of restaurants opposite.
The design of the public areas is great. Many hotels cheap out on this but it shows a level of care that this place had which is nice.
Rooms are designed well with chargibg points each side of the bed. Good lighting and blackout curtains
In our smaller room, there was a smell when you step into the room. But once you enter, after a moment, the smell is gone.
If you can get a bigger room, the one with bath, it's nicer.
Great service. every staff member greets you, helps with luggage, very attentive.
JJ_SydFantastic hotel all around.
One of the best hotels Suzhou has to offer and perfect blend of traditional Suzhou architecture with modern design.
We loved our room and the staff were very helpful, gave us a late check out when I informed them my partner was suffering from food poisoning.
Plenty of amenities in the fridge and the hotel gym is one of the best I’ve seen in China let alone Suzhou.
We loved the breakfast as well as the bar that’s just around the corner from the lobby.
Can’t wait to come back to Suzhou and stay here again.
GGuest UserNow, I can sit here and tell you that we’re staying in an eco-friendly hotel that even though you’re inside its high glass windows gives you an outdoor vibe. I can even sit and talk about the saline pool, its state-of-the-art gym and list all the amenities; and I can even talk about the number of rooms and the fact that as we speak there’s an international summit going on here.
Somehow that won’t speak about my experience here at this hotel. Elements (by Westin) Suzhou Science & Technology Town does have all of the above BUT what I love about this hotel is its Staff. I love the fact that they seem to be always be here. I somehow believe that they live onsite because they’re always around.
In the morning, even before I enter the Salon I hear, “Nǐ hǎo Marsha” from the Breakfast Host, followed up by the nice lady in the Salon, smiling at me and ushering me to the coffee machine, while handing me my 2 brown sugar packs. She knows my morning habits so quickly. Not only that, because they knew Peter was missing from my breakfast table for a few mornings, they now signal to me with take away containers for Peter, to have his breakfast in the room.
When we need to go anywhere the young ladies at the Front Desk (no matter which Shift) are always either asking us where we need to go so that they can call a CASH taxi to get us to our destination. One of them even came with me one day to the Bank of China’s ATM and sat in the taxi while I went in and conducted my business and accompanied me to the Campus to visit Jon-Marc. Yesterday, one of them even used her own Didi account to get us transportation back to the hotel and we reimbursed her (and walked away while she was trying to give us back our change because we knew she wouldn’t have taken the Tip as is their custom). How else could we have shown her how grateful we were for her kind gesture?
Then there is Simon Jiang, the General Manager, who speaks perfect English and is always there to assist and offer suggestions of things to do and places to go. Simon was the one who actually explained to me that you can’t just walk into a pharmacy and get anything without a prescription. What I can tell you is that even though he is the GM he is always on hand assisting the staff with their work. Even though there is a clear hierarchy here, he takes off his jacket and assists in the kitchen, you can sometimes see him helping the older ladies bring out the heavy equipment (if needed) when they’re cleaning the floors, clear tables, etc.
Or Alex Ju, the Assistant General Manager, who accompanied Peter and I to the hospital and stayed and spoke with the doctor and the international insurance department on our behalf (in Mandarin) to make everything a little easier for us.
These people are the ones who have made my stay here memorable and I can honestly say that its because of them that I would recommend Elements by Westin in Suzhou to ANYONE who wanted a place to stay without hassle and with a host of helpful, courteous, friendly staff. It has been my pleasure having encountered such warm, friendly, delightful and gentle human beings.
SShanice Shii QingI cannot recommend Pan Pac Suzhou enough. Firstly, the hotel looks like an attraction itself already. It's one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in. Secondly, the staff are so hospitable and helpful - our Didi driver was being nasty and trying to scam us and the hotel manager immediately came out to help us mediate the situation, and gave us a upgrade - thank you! The stay was so plesant and the nicer hotel room really helped me feel better. I didn't manage to get the names of the staff as they changed shifts, but if you're looking for a place to stay in Suzhou, really really highly recommend staying here!
AAnonymous UserArrived at front desk to do checkin, male front desk attended to me and did my check-in. Shared that he did a free upgrade for us, and asked for a 5star review. (But i believe in an honest review)
Then came the deposit collection of 500RMB. Site show Cash/Credit/Alipay/Wechat Pay. Since i have excess cash with no use, i decide to do cash deposit. Not to mention site shows *non cash deposit may take 2-4 weeks to refund* The guy gave an unwilling face to receive it and wanted a change of deposit method, asking if i have Alipay or WeChat pay since ”We dont even use cash in china mainland anymore. We all use ewallets. Also, you giving cash deposit will require longer checkout process as it is more tedious” When i shared that this was excess cash with no use as i also use Alipay, he asked me to change my deposit method.
Next we wanted to do laundry, but it was a chargeable (?) facility. Other hotels are giving free laundry but here at this *5star* hotel is chargeable..? Nevertheless, for obvious reason, we can't use the self laundry service because it requires an APP installation and account setup that can only be tied to a local number, which we do not have as a tourist. When attended to front desk, we had to ask for specifically their help to run the washer and the first thing the male front desk ask was ”i can help you run it, but how do you want to pay me for the fees later?”
Went up to the laundry room with him at level 2 and he was enquiring if we can do Alipay or WeChat pay for the fees before he even assist with the wash. It was merely a 5RMB! Immediately ask for me to add him on WeChat and facilitate payment at soonest.
Free gifts by hotel - we only tried out the canal cruise. But of cos, for the reservation with hotel is 2H prior, but to receive the reservation details is with local number. Since I have already added their WeChat so they sent me the booking details with the local number confirmation. But we had issues at cruise to scan the QR code as it was not the right one.
Breakfast, basic spread i'd say. Not the best, quite limited but i suppose it's sufficient for filling up your empty stomach before finding alternative outside.
Room size is definitely spacious since ”upgrade” was given.
We transported around with DiDi but the drop off lobby is so tight that the drivers made us board the car on main road with so many cars moving, which can be quite dangerous especially we still have to check the carplate numbers.
Metro station, however, is just across the street. Which is very accessible for guest doing public transport.
All in all, i would say the hotel offers a very comfortable sleep for the room amenities but the hotel facilities and service requires more improvement.
DDaniel Yan HonMy friends and I had a really lovely time here. The rooms are comfortable, beautifully designed, clean and well equipped. There was complementary tea in a tea set which we enjoyed. Free laundry service, with a laundry basket in the room. The location was a good fit for the sights we wanted to see. Our receptionist was helpful and suggested good food options for lunch and dinner.
NNicolefuguixianrenThe owner decorated the small yard beautifully. It is very comfortable to sit on the swing in the evening in this season. It is a kind of enjoyment.
GGuest UserThe hotel is elegantly decorated, the rooms are warm and comfortable, and the bedding is soft and clean. The service staff is enthusiastic, professional and meticulous. The food is rich and delicious, the transportation is convenient, and the overall experience exceeds expectations. I highly recommend it!
