[2024 Suzhou Stay] Travel Guide for Suzhou Shantang Street Huamao Gusuli Service Apartment (Updated Oct)
You must stay in a garden-style hotel when you come to Suzhou. We didn't go out for 2 days.
Experience a garden-style hotel in Suzhou 🏨
This time we stayed at 📍Huamao Gusu Li Service Apartment. We chose a family suite with two bedrooms, a living room, and two bathrooms, which can accommodate our whole family.
The living room also has a tent 🏕 and a giraffe 🦒, which the children like -
The weather is too hot, I really don't want to go out, I just like this hotel with complete facilities
☑ Children's playground: It's very big, and you can also experience plant hollow painting and fan painting and other parent-child courses. Children basically don't want to come out
☑ Swimming pool, another place where children don't want to come out
☑ Zizhi Garden, it is said to be a garden of the Ming Dynasty, and you can visit the Suzhou-style garden without leaving the house
☑ The hotel also has many Dragon Boat Festival handicraft activities: making sachets, making zongzi, etc., all are free 🆓, fun
☑ The audio-visual room can watch movies, and it's too comfortable to lie down there
No wonder the children don't want to go out, adults don't need to go out either haha
