Kempinski Hotel Suzhou

I have stayed at this Kempinski location several times and never found the experience any less than fully satisfying - a true five star experience.

Room service was slow and the food delivered was not hot. It was very difficult to get some of the staff to understand our simple requests. I understand very well that we are in China, but Kempinski is an international hotel chain catering for international guests. Restaurant food was not so good, Potatoes under cooked, lack of vegetables. Pool and jacuzzi area was very good, although there was no dedicated pool for young children. Room was good, clean and comfortable. Hotel setting is fantastic.

we ordered non smoking, lakeview, king size bed, we got a smoking, non-lakeview 2 double bed room. funny is they said the room is non-smoking but there are ashtray and matches in the room Overall, room is a little dated, if we cannot get the room type we paid for from Hotels.com, we should be upgraded instead of downgraded
