Suzhou Blue Gate Youth Hostel

My experience has been incredible because the hostel I’m staying at feels like home. The staff is incredibly friendly, warm, and always willing to help. Everything is extremely well-organized, and the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. The location couldn’t be better—it’s just a short walk to both the subway and bus stations, making it super convenient to get around the city. On top of all that, the prices are very affordable, but the quality of service is top-notch. For such a reasonable price, they really go above and beyond to ensure guests have a great experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay—it’s truly a hidden gem

friend staff speaks excellent English, she was very helpful with all the suggestions about attractions and food. Dorm bed is comfy and bathroom are clean,there is a mini bar in the lobby, varieties of beers are very affordable price, breakfast was also good, best banana pancake I've ever had in China. Would highly recommended.

Stayed 4 nights in dorm room Expectation/Reality: the room was not the same as the picture. Although after 2 nights I was offered to change to the rooms which matched the pictures. Security: the initial room had low security. Open dorm and the lockers were easily opened. Not secure without additional precautions. Hygiene: average for Chinese hostel, generally okay and acceptable. Not great, but not terrible. Hospitality: seems like one person is responsible for everything. She was very responsive and nice. Social Atmosphere: okay area to socialize but no obvious hostel organized activities. Space is good however, board games, beers and coffee available. Overall, the location is the main selling point, close to a convenient metro and to many attractions. Average on comfort, low on security, generally adequate for a short term stay.

Super location close to Metro line 1, Lindenlou station. Walking distance to lots of sights,and lots of places to eat. Very friendly lady on reception and drinks fridge. Excellent value for money.

I stayed at the hostel during renovation works, so I won't bother reviewing the rooms or cleanliness, as it will obviously change in the following days. What I can say (that won't change) is that the location is great (right next to the twin pagodas) and that the owner is fluent in English.

Nice place to stay for one night. Good location, English speaking stuff. Everything ok. Highly Recommended
