The whole bedding is a bit thick, it is not suitable for contemporary, adults and children are awake in the middle of the night, the service is good, come to change the thin. I remember that the hotel was like this a few years ago, but now the new hotel has been replaced with a thin bedding mattress. In spring and autumn, there is no need to have a constant temperature system to avoid being too dry, and the windows are comfortable.

The room is equipped with a bathtub and a mini bar, the breakfast is particularly rich, the staff are very warm and friendly, and the children especially like the little sister Qian in the lobby coffee bar, and must give a thumbs up. It's worth the trip. I will come again next time.

The hotel is in the science and technology city. The sign is a building but not the door of the hotel. The parking lot and the building are together. There is also a location on the ground. The hotel is a bit difficult to find at night. I called to the front desk. Miss Linlin was very patient. I directed the direction and upgraded the room for free when I arrived at the front desk. The service is in place and the room is quite spacious, but the corridor is a bit dim. I asked if there is no self-service laundry room, but there is laundry service. I can’t wash it for a day. , Quiet at night, there is a park nearby where you can go for a walk, the scenery is good, I will come next time

Good reviews for the service and environment: After checking in on Friday, the housekeeper proactively contacted me on Thursday and added WeChat to inform me about the parking. You can park your car in the Botanical Garden Parking Lot No. 1. Walking less than 100 meters away is the gate of the Botanical Garden. The housekeeper will drive a battery car there. Waiting at the door, the reply was very fast when I checked in at 9pm. I was also given an upgraded room type, which was a special surprise. There were also toiletries from L'Occitane and capsule coffee from Nestlé. The hotel is backed by Dayang Mountain, with green plants, ponds and small scenery dotted with it. ;The hardware of the hotel is good, but the maintenance is average. The window handle is broken and the window cannot be closed. The air conditioner makes noisy noise and makes it impossible to sleep. Alas

There are so many things to thank for this two-day and one-night summer vacation trip. First of all, the hotel has beautiful scenery, the shuttle bus picks up and drops off quickly, the room is also very big and beautiful, and the sleep is also very comfortable. Welcome everyone to sleep here😃
Next, back to the topic, my husband was swimming last night, due to physical exhaustion and excessive exercise, he fainted in the men's locker room and almost lost consciousness. Thanks to a girl on duty, the lifeguard, and the manager on duty that night, Mr. Zheng, for their timely measures and timely notification, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous... Later, the lifeguard brother helped to call 120 and sent him to the hospital in time. hospital, received timely treatment
On the way to the hospital, the duty manager called and texted several times to care about the condition, which made us feel very warm
After returning from the hospital in the middle of the night, the shuttle bus staff and the front desk staff all asked about our health and whether we were feeling better. They were really kind
When we checked out, the front desk lady Huanhuan who received us also asked about our condition last night. She was really gentle and considerate
Finally, welcome everyone to stay at Suzhou Taimei Yijun Hotel, where you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake, but also experience the kind and thoughtful service
Suzhou and Shanghai are one family🥰

Staying in the lake view suite on the 21st floor, you can see the panoramic view of Taihu Lake from the window. It feels like you are in Sanya. The sofa by the window of the room has a great view. The lady at the front desk is warm and attentive, and the room service responds quickly. The facilities are good, and taking a walk by Taihu Lake in the evening makes you feel like you are on vacation with the cool breeze.

The hotel is in a good location, very convenient to Baima Stream and Dayangshan Botanical Garden. I like the restaurant very much. The soy milk and tofu pudding for breakfast is ground by myself, which is very unique. I would like to praise that the breakfast variety is also good. But the hotel is a bit old.
However, I am writing a review today to complain about the hotel's facilities. I don't know if the room assigned to me was bad or if the soundproofing itself was poor.
Can you understand the squeaking sound of someone dragging something heavy at ten o'clock in the evening? It’s really better to skip it for people who have poor sleep quality. Can you understand the sudden thought of a huge fan roaring at four o'clock in the middle of the night? In short, I couldn't sleep well, I had a headache, and my experience was immediately deducted. Also, we found out that the basin drain was clogged the night we checked in, and we even asked the master to repair it. It was also difficult to get through to the front desk phone, which made me feel deeply helpless. . . . . . . . . . . . . I gave feedback to the hotel but there was no effective response.

It's a good time to pick bayberry at this time. I went to Xishan to pick bayberry with my friends. Booked a hotel. Choosing this one, the door looks very ordinary, but after entering the lobby, it feels very different, the light fragrance is very advanced. The front desk service is very warm, give me
I poured a glass of honey lemon juice at the front desk, it was icy and delicious, very good! The room was really clean, with a faint smell of disinfectant, so I felt relieved. There are also disinfectant wipes in the bathroom, which is a great detail. The location of the hotel is also very good, just go out to the subway entrance, said it will open at the end of June. I look forward to the convenience of the subway next time it opens. The hotel facilities are quite complete, including washing machines, dryers, and children’s entertainment areas. Check out another cup of lemon honey drink, it tastes really good. On the day of check-in, I saw the little girl at the front desk using a juicer in the lobby. There was honey and a lot of lemons. It seemed that it was really handmade, not the kind of powder. Super awesome!

GGarfieldjingThe night before check-in, I suddenly received news that the hotel swimming pool could not be used, which made the trip a little unhappy.
I hope we can inform you earlier next time so that guests can have more choices.
After arriving at the hotel, the lady at the front desk was very nice and upgraded the room type for free. Later, the housekeeper lady would also care and remind me from time to time.
It slightly makes up for the regret of not being able to swim.
The hotel is about 15 minutes away from Tongli. No tickets are required in Tongli after 17:00, but there are no shops open after 17:00. It takes about 30 minutes by car to Suzhou city
The hotel environment is quite good. The indoor and outdoor amusement park in the second phase is free. The ones in the resort are outsourced and charge a fee. There is table tennis but only one table. There is a fee for billiards but there is only one table.
The hotel has small animals for feeding, including white geese, squirrels, chickens, pigeons, ducks, and dogs.

In the evening, you can go to Pingjiang Road to eat snacks and watch the night view. If the road conditions are extremely congested, make travel plans in advance. The hotel gave me a small gift when I checked in🎁The bed was very comfortable and there was coffee and tea in the front lobby. 2 bottles of mineral water were given as a gift when checking out, thank you to the beautiful woman at the front desk🌹

GGuest UserLocated opposite Tongli Ancient Town, close to Tongli Lake, the environment is beautiful and the history is profound. There are also activities for children to pass the time in the hotel. The main thing is that the waiters are very pleasant. A very good leisure parent-child hotel. Every waiter I met was very good, such as Wang Chuang and Xiao Hou. I felt that the guests were the most important. It is highly recommended for a two-day and one-night stay near Shanghai.

LLAN.CHENThe moment I entered my room, I was greeted by a sense of tranquility and indulgence. The room, meticulously appointed with stylish furnishings and plush amenities, became my sanctuary during my stay. The comfortable king-size bed, adorned with crisp linens and plump pillows, promised nights of restful sleep. The panoramic windows offered breathtaking views of the city's skyline, allowing me to immerse myself in the beauty of Suzhou. The room's spacious layout provided a sense of openness, while the carefully curated color palette exuded a calming atmosphere.
The room services at Suzhou W Hotel were nothing short of impeccable. The attentive and friendly staff ensured that my every need was met promptly and efficiently. Kimi, a male staff member, stood out with his warm demeanor and exceptional service. He greeted me with a genuine smile and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Kimi's attention to detail was remarkable, and he went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. His knowledge of the hotel's facilities and services was impressive, and he was always ready to provide recommendations or answer any questions I had. The Suzhou W Hotel also boasted an impressive array of facilities to cater to the well-being of its guests. The large gym, equipped with top-of-the-line workout devices, provided a haven for fitness enthusiasts like myself. Whether it was a morning jog on the treadmill or a full-body workout using state-of-the-art strength training equipment, the gym offered everything I needed to maintain my fitness routine. The spacious and well-lit workout area, coupled with the panoramic views of the city, created an invigorating environment that motivated me to push my limits.

GGuest UserThere were a few ants in the first room we booked, but after a few screams and a phonecall we were quickly moved to another ant-free room. The staff were so helpful, kind and willing to communicate in English to the best of their ability. They made plenty of gestures with bowls of fruit, fragrant sacks and even a personal delivery of the food menu when we couldn't find the English menu on the TV. Their frequent arrivals had us jumping in our robes to grab the door every so often, but each time we were grateful to receive such thoughtful snacks and smells. Lovely place. Would visit again.

RRobsterNot knowing Suzhou at all, I thought I had chosen a hotel to suit my needs for exploring the history whilst still being near the modern. This hotel is ideal for both. With a metro station (line 3) Shajinqiao, within a 10 minute walk, literally, just round the corner, and a taxi ride to either end of where I wanted to be costing me under 30RMB, this was an absolute gem of a find.
On arrival, the staff were very good and extremely helpful. I was checked in without any fuss, with the usual pandemic checks, travel codes, health codes and I showed both 48hr and 24hr covid tests.
The room was cosy, with excellent air-conditioning, a very comfortable bed and very clean. The toilet was intelligent, electronic and quite a novelty. It even warmed my posterior whilst sitting on it!
The hotel provides a kettle and 2 free bottles of water daily though there may at one time have been a mini fridge, it was not there on this visit. Breakfast is served at reasonable times with the last orders being done 10:30am. (11 am at weekends). It is a decent spread, predominantly Chinese food, rice, vegetables, meats with cooked-to-order eggs, porridge (Chinese rice style) and a cold buffet. There are delicious pastries, toast and fruit. Tea and coffee are available along with a varied selection of fruit juices. The restaurant is airy, bright and clean. Plenty of seating is available.
Room lighting was bright and cheerful but could be set to 'mood' which dimmed and made for a more intimate atmosphere.
On Didi App, the hotel does not come under Atour Hotel. You will need to search for Yi He Cha Can Yin Guan Li You Xian Gong Si.
At the time of writing, Suzhou was low risk. However, the recommendation was for Suzhou citizens not to travel and if they had to, to show a 48hr covid test. I had a bit of trouble with getting the app to work and thanks very much, eternal gratitude, to the wonderfully patient and supportive reception staff who all contributed, made phone calls and tried their best to get the app to work. Eventually, we succeeded. That is service and that was fantastic.
Highly recommend this hotel.

Qqueen_kooIf you’re looking for a perfect 4 star venue in the city centre then look no further! This place is a good bargain all round the year and even in peak seasons. I am going to split my review into sections so bare with me.
1) Rooms: The outdated the rooms need a serious paint jobs and the couch is quite “scratchy” material wise. Despite the interior eye sore, the flats are quite cosy with everything you need. Scenery wise , those who aren’t afraid of heights request the balcony rooms ! Maybe they don’t have the views of the shanghai centre shopping mall but the evening breeze did put me to sleep like a baby! Also the television was well packed with nostalgic movies , I really enjoyed the entertainment. Although the TV volume doesn’t go too loud , I guess it’s good respect to the neighbors some of who are long term tenants.
2) Service: Impeccable. The people here, although clearly overworked are so nice! The housekeepers are all so wonderful ! They were the ones who let me come back to a clean flat everyday , really it was a piece of home with a whole lot of help! For shampoos and conditioners and shower gel you would need to let the front desk know you need it, so please keep that in mind!
3) Breakfast: Just enough for survival , I’m quite particular about my tastes in food where the buffet options were too less and unfortunately not too tasty. But I was able to survive…I really hope they can fix this though cause the place although cheaper than others isn’t exactly cheap as well. If you want a good breakfast spread , you will be left heavily disappointed.
There’s a lot of cost cutting the hotel group has done and it’s obvious…I hope Ascott takes this into consideration cause it’s not good to have better hotels around the world but keep smaller cities forgotten and tightly budgeted!!
Suzhou is quite expensive than other cities due to the constant influx of tourists.
I don’t usually write much for my reviews but In this case I seem to care after seeing the overworked hotel staff and the poor conditions around them.
Come on Ascott do better. I initially was tempted to give a 3/5 review stars but it’s the people that pushed it up.

GGuest UserReally beautiful place. It looks to be brand new - maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but it certainly looks new. The room (a suite) was very spacious, very clean. Just a very beautiful place that fit well with the surroundings. The whole building was impeccably clean.
I rated the service 5/5 because the owners were very nice, and largely left us alone. The family was processing tea and were quite busy - check-in was extremely quick, check-out too. I'm not looking for hospitality, so being left alone suited us fine - this isn't a criticism at all! The rooms don't really come with much extra (tea, coffee etc.), just a couple of bottles of water, so best to know that before you book if you usually expect this, but we didn't so we were fine with it.
You can buy really good tea from them (maybe we timed it well as we arrived at the peak tea-picking time). The owners were very kind and let us try some, and it's really good tea - we ended up buying some.
Food was pretty good, but again they were quite busy and have specific times that food is available, and no menu, so best to check ahead with them (again, really taking into account that they were super busy processing tea when we were there). Absolutely not a problem as there are so many great restaurants around too.
TV in the room had VOD but without VIP, so if you're looking to watch movies or anything best to bring your own (including HDMI cable as our TV didn't have one).
Location excellent. Space for maybe 4 cars to park, right next to a small hill, very close to the pick-up point for the sightseeing bus to take you up to Xishan, and surrounded by lots of restaurants, B+Bs etc. so if you like coffee, there's a shop just down the road. Very beautiful surroundings - you will be shocked that you're so close to Suzhou as there's absolutely no evidence that you're anywhere near a city!
All in all, really enjoyable. Amazing price for a suite (around Y500 per night) and one of the better homestay-style places we've stayed in. Highly recommended.
