I stayed at Houju Courtyard Design Hotel (Also known as The Humble) during my trip to Suzhou, and while the place is definitely Instagram-worthy, my overall experience was quite disappointing.
I had high expectations after seeing the gorgeous photos and videos online, the traditional Suzhou-style architecture and the tranquil courtyard vibe looked amazing. But when I arrived, reality didn’t quite live up to the aesthetics.
The location is near Shantang Street, which is great for exploring, but the hotel is about a 5–10 minute walk from the main road. If you have large luggage, this walk can be really inconvenient — especially during rainy season, which was the case for us. We had to drag our suitcases through narrow alleys in the rain just to check in.
Another thing that surprised me was that this isn’t a standalone hotel building. The hotel is on Level 4 of a mixed-use building, with restaurants and other businesses on the lower floors. That means anyone can use the same elevator — not the most private or secure experience, especially if you were expecting a more exclusive boutique hotel feel.
When we entered the room, the bathroom wasn’t properly cleaned — there were hairs around the toilet bowl area, and the bathroom doors felt flimsy. On top of that, the toilet kept making bubbling noises. We had to call staff to fix it, and they explained that it was due to water pressure issues common to all rooms.
That said, I have to give credit where it’s due — the staff were very helpful and attentive, and they responded to issues quickly and politely, which definitely softened the experience a bit.
Final Thoughts:
While Houju Courtyard Design Hotel (The Humble Hotel) looks stunning in photos and has a great location near Suzhou’s attractions, the actual stay didn’t live up to expectations. It’s more about the aesthetic than comfort, and you should be prepared for shared spaces, limited privacy, and some maintenance issues. If visuals are your priority, it’s worth a short stay — but if you’re after a more comfortable, hotel-like experience, this might not be the right fit.

1. The hotel is newly renovated and the facilities are good, so I decided to stay an extra day. The room on the sun had a pungent odor that gave me a headache. The waiter said it was due to the sunlight hitting the wooden floor during the day. I gave him an extra card and set the air conditioner to 20°C, setting three. The odor was tolerable with it, and the room on the shady side had no noticeable odor.
2. I was generally satisfied with the service of all the waiters.
3. The hotel offers laundry service. I left three black skirts and a white jacket, and they promised to wash them by color, saying it would take about two hours. I handed them in the first night, but they hadn't returned them the next morning. When I went to the laundry room to look for them, I found a shocking sight (pictured). A pair of men's underwear was stuck between my clothes.
4. What was frustrating was that the hotel manager immediately shirked responsibility, blaming it on me. After seeing the photos, he said he would check the CCTV. I didn't make a fuss and just requested dry cleaning and disinfection. The manager said they would check the security cameras to investigate the situation and promised to deliver breakfast. I explained that breakfast had already been delivered on my renewal, and that checking out early the next day might miss the hotel's 8:00 PM service. The manager said they could arrange for an earlier breakfast. I felt her transition from a state of panic to a sense of relief. However, she didn't fulfill her promise, didn't deliver breakfast early the next day, and didn't apologize. I learned from the waiter that the hotel had held a meeting regarding the incident, but they didn't specify which room the guest was in. So, the waiter even asked me for a good review. The manager's handling of the matter felt insincere, uncaring, and unprofessional.

I went to Suzhou for a short trip and chose this hotel.
Environment: The location is very downtown, close to Exit 12 of Shilu Station, and the interior environment is clean.
Service: The service is considerate and generous. I added the service WeChat account, and I can inform you in time if I need anything, and I will respond quickly. When I left, I was surprised to receive a small gift!
Hygiene: The room hygiene is good.
Facilities: The facilities are advanced, with a type-c interface, which can connect to the phone more conveniently and quickly.
Overall, it is still very reliable and satisfactory.

The location was excellent, close to the station and tourist attractions. I struggled to find the hotel entrance, which took a long time in the heat. The elevator was narrow and nestled among the lanterns, making it difficult to find. I finally arrived, drenched in sweat. The hotel staff kindly apologized and offered me a free breakfast the next day. The hotel was clean and I had a pleasant stay. It was a shame there wasn't a refrigerator, as it was summer.

The hotel environment is very good, and the location is also very good. It is next to the busiest food street in Shantang Street. It is very convenient to take a taxi to the main attractions in Suzhou. The straight-line distance is about 2-3 kilometers.
The first time I arrived at the hotel, I felt the enthusiasm of the hotel staff. They took the initiative to help us upgrade to a parent-child room, and also carried our suitcases to the room. After arriving in the room, they also called us to give us afternoon tea and various cordial greetings. It was very good.
I will stay here next time. 120 points highly recommended

For such an expensive hotel, the soundproofing is amazing! I could hear everything the neighbors across the street were saying, and the clanging noise was unbearable in the morning. The dry and wet separation between the toilet and shower seemed like a nice decoration, but it was completely useless. I took a shower, and the toilet felt like it was flooded. The water didn't dry out for a whole day. I had a water park experience! They said they would provide afternoon tea, but they didn't. The parking is marked free on the platform, but when I checked out, they said it was only free for 24 hours. Isn't this consumer deception?
