Guest Reviews

Milo (10/5): Great cozy stay close to the main highlights, but peaceful - Location right outside of the main busy area in a peaceful residential area. So easy to walk to the highlights. Super cozy setup with a guestroom in the garden. Bit difficult to find initially, but they help with a message with pictures and route to follow. An explanation for metro arrival instead of only taxi would be helpful too.
Jennifer (8/5): Overall still love the place. - The room has a smell nice (kudos to effort of host to make it so). Location was very good - walking trails to many nice places from the location. Veey warm host. Very nice n cosy house. Such a joy to sit outside the room with view of the nice place n bird chirping. Flowers on the roof of the main door were blooming (very pretty) and it attracted many visitors coming to take photos of it). The nice sitting room are of the house is very nice - free tea n sweets/nuts with large tv/nice music on. If it rain heavily, it will be very inconvenient if u have heavy luggages as you will have to lug them quite a distance over uneven ground, from where cab/didi will drop/pick you. If u are assigned a room on 2nd floor, you will need to lug your heave luggages up the stairs. The beds are relatively harder compared to hotel beds. My companion n I both felt a tinge of backache after our first night.
NAOMI (10/5): 皇宮裏の隠れ家 - スタッフさんの対応よく、部屋の隅々まで清潔が行き届いていました。
JFD (10/5): Un havre de paix à Suzhou - La situation en plein centre ville Le calme du quartier L'accueil sympathique Rien
sh_aa_nti (10/5): Stylish room with cute garden - There is a beautiful garden - a little oasis you can enjoy. The hosts are super helpful and friendly :) It's very well located - walking distance to the "canal street". Charming neighborhood with stylish cafes. Our room didn't have a window, but you can sit in the garden or big shared living room.
Olga (10/5): Petit nid chaleureux au cœur des quartiers anciens - une chambre très coquette avec une grande mezzanine pour le 2ème lit, l’ensemble de la déco très sympa, un accueil hyper chaleureux avec plein de petites attentions, des espaces communs agréables pour passer du temps, un emplacement au calme en plein cœur de vieille ville, la climatisation dans la chambre… bref une étape simple mais particulièrement adaptée pour profiter de Suzhou rien
Günter (8/5): Angenehme Unterkunft im Zentrum von Suzhou - Sehr angenehme und sehr ruhige Unterkunft in bester Lage! Sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeberin! Unser Zimmer (angenehm mit zwei großen Betten) hat nur auf der Strassenseite dichte Vorhänge, jedoch nicht auf der Hofseite. Dadurch bleibt es in der Nacht (besonders gegen Morgen) zu hell. Hier würden zusätzliche Vorhänge nicht schaden. Da die Taxis nicht bis zur Unterkunft zufahren können, wäre es gut, an den Zugangsgassen Hinweisschilder, die das Guesthouse ankündigen, anzubringen.
jean francois (7/5): quiet and restful - This property is in a small alleyway, just off a main road, so quiet but convenient. It's very easy to get a Didi from there. The room was beautifully decorated and the bed was comfy. The owner was friendly and gave us a gift of a hand painted mug when we left. There is a kettle in the room but the tea was not replenished for the 2nd and 3rd days. There is no breakfast with the room, so you do need to go out to eat.
Mathias (9/5): - Die Gastgeberin ist sehr aufmerksam, zum Beispiel hat sie uns mit nützlichen Informationen versorgt, um die Unterkunft zu finden, welche ein wenig versteckt liegt. Die Zimmer sind großzügig geschnitten und haben eine schöne moderne Ausstattung. Die Lage unweit der U-Bahn Station Lindun Lu ist hervorragend, innerhalb von 10 Minuten lassen sich auch viele Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichen.
Bei-Zhen (10/5): 主人招待熱情，接待廳到內院、房間很有設計感、令人放鬆。 - 一進門，從大廳到房間，都很有在地特色和藝術氣息，整體都很喜歡。
Liesje (9/5): - Beautiful and comfortable place, nicely decorated and very well taken care of. Communication with the hosts was really easy and clear. Nice location in a quiet neigbourhood and walking distance to the subway and areas you might want to visit.
Chen Yan (10/5): 下次到蘇州，仍然會選擇這邊！ - 店主非常好～會和我們聊聊當地的特色！
Niek71 (10/5): -
JO CHUN (1/5): 這個地方附近非常的偏僻，不清楚他的好評價是怎麼來的。 - 民宿主人是熱情的，但是對於不抽菸的人來說這裡很痛苦。公共空間間充滿菸味。菸味！我們抵達的第一天公共空間緊密，兩人吞雲吐霧，我的家人因為這樣而吐了。位置也很偏僻，走到館前街要非常的遠！
Marilyn (7/5): Good location - Location was good, short walk to shops, restaurants etc & attractions. Plenty of hot water although the bathroom was a little small Called us a taxi & walked us to pick up point👍 The owner wasn’t available most of the time & limited English. Breakfast was reportedly 5 minutes away, but not told where it was.
Peng (8/5): Very good -
Klara (10/5): Exceptional - A charming little place, tucked away in a quiet alley. Owner was beyond helpful and welcoming, even brought me a very thoughtful welcome present! The courtyard is a lovely place so sit and relax. The room itself had everything I needed, only thing was, there was no window in the main room, only a small one in the bathroom. But as I only stayed one night it didn't really bother me. Thank you :)
Lai (8/5): Great stay , friendly Host and staff , silent , chill and comfort - Is Shanghai style 上海灘風 very retro feel provide heater when it is colder weather location is nearby MRT Host and staff very friendly and recommend foods and way to go Cant exactly call didi with the exact location but need to walk back to the guesthouse Overall is very good
Choong (8/5): Good guesthouse - The host Jing is very helpful. She suggest us the routes for sightseeing. The bed is comfortable. the guesthouse is abit difficult to find because it is located inside a small alley. However, Jing did showed me the way to get to the guesthouse a day before we arrive.
Liang (10/5): A cosy guesthouse with great facilities, convenient location and the most friendly & helpful host. - Jing was the most friendly and helpful host, who did above and beyond to provide great advice on where to visit and eat, help with our laundry, arrange a van to take us to the Pudong International Airport and provide some small nice gifts. The Guesthouse offers a cosy shared environment with warm heater, roast peanuts & melon seeds and Chinese tea. The location was great . None
Nora (10/5): It was very tranquil and enjoyable. - The rooms and living areas was decorated in styles of bygone eras. It felt like living in the past. The host was friendly and flexible to our needs. The location was close to most areas. The floor of our shower was cracked but these things happen. Just bad timing for us. It didn't effect our stay.
Sonia (10/5): Good place to stay at for a discovery of Suzhou - Nice host Clean place Very small room and carpet too big The yard was expected to be a bit bigger
Yijie (10/5): Exceptional - The host is extremely nice and helpful, providing plenty of suggestions for our itinerary. The room is thoughtfully designed and looks even better than the pictures. The guesthouse is conveniently located near the main attractions and a subway station, yet it's quiet at night. The beds are comfortable. N/A
Akvile (9/5): Charming guesthouse - One of the best places we stayed while in China. The guesthouse feels cozy and has everything you might need for few nights stay. The location is in the quiet neighborhood close by the main tourist attractions (5-10min waking). The room was spotless clean. It would be nice to have mini fridge in the room, but its not essential.
Lim (7/5): All good, owner is nice and friendly, help us order delivery and advise us place to visit - Less than 10mins walk to the metro station Bathroom is quite small
Camille (9/5): perfect - Very helpfull host, nice and friendly place, room was well equipped. matrass were a bit hard, used to a more softer matrass, and you have to pay in cash. Visa credit card is not accepted.
Emiliano (10/5): Exceptional - The guesthouse is a quiet lovely place in the middle of Suzhou old town. The style is traditional and modern at the same time. Everything worked well in the room and the hosts are very kind and responsive. Nothing
Jane (9/5): Love it! - Lovely house, nice cozy room, clean, quiet. Host took the trouble to advise and suggest places to visit. Nil
Zhangzhen (10/5): Nice and cosy environment - Owner is friendly and location is near metro Nil
Kaicheng (10/5): Jing was most helpful, and her suggestions made the trip extra memorable. - It has a very humanistic feel to it. Attention to detail was evident in every facet.
Suzanne (8/5): Very good -
Deveaux (7/5): Good -
Giulia (10/5): Cozy and special - Very cozy room and overall structure, friendly and attentive host who attended to our requests warmly. The location is excellent, close to the metro and to the main attractions, but also very quiet. The design of the furniture was also interesting and didn't feel bland as many places do. Everything we needed was present. Everything was okay. You could see that some furniture and items weren't new but that was not a minus for us, on the opposite, it felt less wasteful and bland.
Sara (8/5): good hotel for a short stay in Suzhou - the host and the style
Alvaro (8/5): Very good - A well located place 5 minutes from the metro stop and with a genuine personality. You can tell from the decor that the family that runs it has good taste, I think one of them is a painter. The treatment was excellent, friendly and they left us umbrellas to make the heat wave more bearable.
Fen (8/5): Recommend - excellent design， nice owner
Dario (10/5): Amazing (best place of our Chinese holidays) - Our favorite place during our 2 weeks in China. The property is lovely, located in a quiet secondary road close to main attractions (canals and gardens), with stylish furniture (rooms, reception, courtyards) and good comfort. The owner speaks English and has been very helpful. Alipay rental blue bikes are available at 5 minutes walk, as well as shops, local restaurants and convenience stores. Laundry available to guests. A real good surprise.
Marie (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely little guesthouse near metrostation. Not far from Pingjiang street, lots of restaurants also nearby. Room was clean and cozy. Owner was lovely.
Chien-yu (9/5): Superb - It’s in a beautiful, quiet and old neighborhood and within walking distance to subway and some tourist spots. The host is super friendly and helpful. The recommended breakfast place was delicious. There’s a bit of moldy smell in the room inevitably prob due to it being a water town.
Clara (8/5): Special home, great alternative to hotel. Kind, helpful and responsive owner. - Owner was incredibly nice, helpful and responsive. House was lovely but It was very hard to find - info and photo owner sent were very helpful but once we were in the alley, house itself was very hard to find - even coming back at night after we’d already checked in! It would be helpful if there were a couple of signs and arrows, and something on the front door as well. Directions should indicate that you walk to the end of the alley, turn left, and then house is on your right. Also, the “guide” the host arranged for us, while sweet and helpful and quite good with English, was not very knowledgeable and charged us quite a lot (though that was partly our fault because we weren’t clear enough about our plans or about clarifying cancellation policy ahead of time). Would definitely recommend Guest House to anyone looking for a nice alternative to a big hotel.
Francesco (10/5): Exceptional - The property it’s just what I was looking for ! a small escape from the noise and busy city ! The property it’s lovely … taken care of down to the smallest details ! The location it’s great ! And the host it’s very friendly and very helpful !! Recommend for sure !! :) Was all very good :)
Ng (10/5): Exceptional -
Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional - This guesthouse is a unique, beautiful and peaceful place to stay. There are no cars in the narrow street, so you only hear birds in the morning. The room and the common facilities are as nice as the photos, It's a great location for exploring the old town of Suzhou and beyond. And most importantly, the hostess is so kind and helpful. It was my first visit to China and she made a great difference. I hope I'll be able to come back. The taxi cannot stop at the house, so they will drop you off at a street close by - use your map on the phone to find the place. Also remember to bring mosquito repellent as Suzhou has many water canals and the guesthouse has a nice garden. I don't like to use aircondition, so the room got a bit warm in the evening, but this is the climate in Suzhou.
Irene (9/5): It was such a beautiful place, the host was super helpful, just made the my stay easier - Excellent Host, always willing to help.
Hee (9/5): Great host - COMFY, GREAT HOSTS WIFI
Hee (9/5): Great host - LOCATION, GREAT HOST WIFI
Fernanda (10/5): Cosy option for your Suzhou days! - I’ve loved my stay here! This place is so cool and artsy, but also cosy. The staff is great and super helpful. The rooms are huge, full of amenities. It’s very nice to have the experience of staying at a guesthouse, instead of the hotels readily available in China. There isn’t breakfast available. The location is not perfect, but it’s well connected by metro and sits in between the two most important sight areas (gardens and cannals)
Chelsea (9/5): Superb -
Siew (9/5): Superb -
Celine (9/5): Superb - Charming Guesthouse in the heart of Suzhou located in a quiet side road. Perfect location - you can walk to most of the sites. Lovely and very helpful host that helped us with all the logistics (as we don’t speak Chinese and didn’t have some of the essential Apps on our phone…), recommended a great restaurant for vegetarians and let us do a late check-out :) Although no breakfast is served you can sit down in the garden or cute living room and have some tea and coffee. Everything was great!
Toby (10/5): Cosy and beautiful in a convenient location - We loved staying here. The room is comfy and homely and the host is very kind. The hotel is within walking distance to the train and buses and restaurants, which made our trip very easy. The host gave us suggestions of lesser known places to visit. The room is small but has all the essentials and the accommodation communal areas are very beautiful. This was much more relaxing than staying in a big, busy hotel
Uschi (9/5): Authentic Suzhou accommodation - The location is great - walking distance to most of the key sites and very close to the metro. The vibe of the accommodation is perfect for suzhou. I'm really glad that I chose to stay here and would totally recommend especially if you're looking to have a more authentic experience. WiFi isn't great
Anna-lena (10/5): Exceptional - Super nice and kind host. She helped me a lot and gave me good tips!
Kim (8/5): Very good -
Kah (10/5): Exceptional - beautifully decorated guesthouse. Much prettier than the pictures. We loved it, the ceiling was high and the bed comfortable. Wished we could have stayed longer! a little hard to find despite the instructions given
Grace (10/5): Exceptional -
Ho (10/5): Exceptional -
Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional -
Vero (10/5): Authentic place and good location - The place was very clean and very beautiful. It makes you feel like at home from the minute you step in. The hostess was really nice and helpful. She gave us some good indications and kept our luggage for some hours the day we were leaving. The room was very comfortable and clean. Only the bathroom was a bit small perhaps, but not a problem at all. The location is very good, in walkable fistabce to most of the interesting locations in the city. It is located in a very authentic street and although the place is a bit hidden, we had no problem finding it with the hostess indications. We would definitely choose this guesthouse for a future visit in Suzhou. Nothing. Everything was great
Jennifer (10/5): Peace and quiet! - The location was central. I just loved the peacefulness of the house. The bed was very comfortable but the light in the shower kept we awake, as I could not find the switch.
Jt (10/5): Exceptional - A true guest house. Beautiful home, beautiful hostess, great location,great value
Aeg (10/5): Comfortable accommodation as own home. The host is very friendly and prompt responsibility. - location is closed to the busy area, but the house located in the silence and comfortable condition. Nothing
Sophie (8/5): Very good -
Louvee (10/5): Very good, comfortable stay. Would recommend. - Gorgeous villa, the gardens there really add to the experience. Walkable distance from everywhere we wanted to go. Host was also really friendly. There's free bottled water provides. The internet wasn't really usable if you're looking to use it with vpn (same as any wifi in china). But otherwise it worked great
Silvia (10/5): Charming place - Very charming and quiet place, close to center, very nice hosts! Everything fine!
Ben (10/5): Great stay and enjoy max!! - The staff are very good indeed with service mind, superb!!! Only stair to the room is too small but the rest is nothing to commend
Henrik (8/5): Very good - Beautiful premises with lots of local art, nicely decorated rooms, very helpful and nice staff. The shower wasn't cleaned properly, there were hairs, presumably from the previous guest. The shower cabin had obvious grime and dirt stains.
Antonino (10/5): Exceptional -
Thea (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were so sweet and friendly, they went out of their way to help me find something interesting to do on my last afternoon and to help me get around after I had issues buying subway tickets. The room was beautiful, comfortable, and quiet.
Jingxian (10/5): Exceptional -
Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Hosts! They were so kind! They waiting for us until midnight and talk by phone with our taxi driver because he had problems with address. Room had very nice climate and design, and smell was unforgettable. Thank You for this time.
Veronika (9/5): Satisfied, would recommend to my friends - Beautiful garden and yard, very pleasant personal, cosy and well designed room I miss the fridge at the hotel room
Ruizhu (9/5): Excellent stay - The hotel itself is very nice , it’s in an old Suzhou style house in a local alley . It’s right next to an excellent food street which is not just for tourists but also frequented by locals. Close to almost all the attractions.. The couple who recently bought the hotel are very warm and welcoming people . They provided us with free drinks and given us great suggestions for visiting. They are more like friends to you other than hotel owner. By the way , they are both artist so if you want some Chinese paintings you should ask. Before we leave they even helped us book a taxi since we didn’t have the app for taxi booking, and it was hard to call a taxi in the street, the owner went out in the rain to help load our luggage. Many thanks for that. I strongly recommend this hotel for people who want to visit Suzhou
Tai (10/5): Exceptional - Madam Yang was super helpful and went out of her way to help us out. She recommended a great restaurant for dinner and made reservations for us and tried really hard to help book us a taxi for our follow on destination. Location was also great with many of the sights well within walking distance.
Mandy (9/5): Superb - interior of property is beautiful and quaint! perfect for an alternative stay away from the city staffs are not well versed with suzhou attractions
Tack (10/5): neigbourhood style really enjoy the environment！will come back again - perfect location！garden stylish relaxing！super nice host and meet other travelers!
Nlft (10/5): Feel like home - Easy to access to many iconic places. Environment was great, we literally feel like we were at home. Would definitely recommend houloshenghuo to everyone who would like to visit suzhou
Michiel (10/5): great choice on central Suzhou. - beautiful room with super friendly owner who went out of her way to help. the place she recommend for breakfast was excellent. she also helped with a taxi. overall great service and a charming place walking distance from many sights as well as restaurants. there were some dark long hairs in the shower that weren’t mine…
Andrzej (10/5): Exceptional - This place is very climatic, amazing atmosphere, very ecological place. Ecological and natural furniture, I like very much. the owner gave me a souvenir, hand- calligraphed and hand-painted tea cup. This location was great, Gusu district next too many historical places and speccially Master of the Nets Garden, which I love. It was a little bit cold evening, but owner gave me some extra heater! Very nice!
Ben (9/5): Great value alternative to a big name hotel - Lovely little property in a fabulous location My room was freezing, but I suspect that the heater wasn’t up for the job with the cold weather
Theonetenor (9/5): A must stay once in Gusu, Suzhou. - Fantastic cosy tasteful designer guest house and rooms in old Gusu district. Helpful staff, access to meeting rooms and help with clothes wash. Internet in the room is variable on and off and slow.
Minhui (1/5): Bad - The location is great. Easy access to Suzhou gardens and local restaurants. 1.hygiene awareness. there are blood/mud spot on towels and sheets, previous guests left tooth brush in the drawer and they did not remove it, they do not clean the room unless you specifically tell the house owner beforehand. 2.essential supplies. no enough shower gel and tooth paste in the bottle and they did not refill it on time, the Wi-Fi will turn off when you left the room and needed to be turned on every time you renter the property. 3. noise issue. the house is not properly sound-proofed therefore guests are easily disturbed late in the night and early in the morning due to the old facilities in the neighbourhood.
