The location is great. The hotel is at the most shady area along the river in TongLi, which makes it pleasant in hot summer. Directly outside the gate is the river with many trees. One can take a boat not far away. The garden is wonderful, small and elegant. There are many colourful fishes in the pond, and some beautiful tiny fishes in the water tank. The living room is big and nice: we often sit on the sofa while chatting with others, and we used the dinner table for one dinner with ordered delivery. Very very cozy living room. The password-locks at front gate and bedrooms are convenient to use. The front desk girl replied quickly to my questions, although she is not always familiar with the situation as she is new.

Everything else is great, but the cleanness was not good when we visited. What a pity. Apparently the cleaning lady was in vacation and the front desk girl had to take care of room cleaning but she is not experienced. There were clear marks on the floor when we checked in. And we had to remind her to refill toilet paper and clean the trash. The hotel management should be better to find a replacement for the cleaning staff when the regular one is away.

Location is excellent! It is central and located in the middle of Tongli. The furnishings are vintage. Although newly renovated, it preserves its traditional chinese design throughout the whole inn.

I do not dislike anything about the property. However, when I tried to locate the inn via a local Suzhou map app, it led me to the wrong place. We ended up dragging our luggage throughout Tongli for close to an hour. Thanks to the helpful locals, we managed to locate the inn eventually.

I made the right decision to stay overnight and experience the romance of Tongli when most tourists have left. The hotel is right in the centre of the scenic area , next to the Three Bridges. The girl at the office was really great, friendly and very chatty. Gave us all needed information of both hotel, where to eat (I am vegan). The hotel is more like a home, lovely setting, nice small pond with fish. Bedroom had 2 very comfy double beds and big shower too.

Home stay kind of accommodation. Owner and staff very friendly and helpful. They will recommend where to have your meals and places to visit. For luggage can be arranged with front desk for trishaw to help with transportation to main entrance or parking.

Located with ancient town in a renovated historic building. It was tastefully decorated with thoughtful modern amenities. The staff were very friendly and courteous!

The room was a little small. It was not easy to reach the wardrobe.

The hotel is in the centre of the Historical Tongli. It is very quiet and picturesque. The trees along the canals, the architecture, the bridges, the shops, the cafés, the restaurants are amazing.

It was nice to stay in someplace that was authentic, The town was nice to walk around.

My towel had holes in it and I had to get it replaced. it was hard to get the window closed in the bathroom that opened on to the courtyard.

The hotel has a "like home" atmosphere complete with both very friendly owners and friendly cats. Tongli is very small so the location doesn't matter so much, but being right in the middle of the water town is very nice. The owners went above and beyond making us feel welcome. The hotel building itself maintains a nice balance between the modern and the old and was even used for a popular Chinese series in the 1980s.

Everything was excellent.

Staff very nice with customers talking. Staff will bring customer from tongli go in hotel. Future next time I go su Zhou I will stay same hotel 😊

The owner spoke very good english and recommended some excellent places for dinner and for breakftast. The Room was very comfortable and the location of the hotel was ideal.
