Independent Nanbeicun hotels

"This is more of a budget hotel that has very limited amenities, condition and furnishings are of lower qualities, certain rooms the bathroom set up is strange. "

"Very close (walking distance if not raining) to the old city - allow a good day to cover it all, and this is one of the least commercialised water-towns accessible from Suzhou or Shanghai, but not much else to do there unless you're at a conference etc. that the hotel caters for. Good, comfortable, clean working room with full amenities, nice view of the lake, very good local arts shop in the lobby. The restaurant was OK - lack of English skill resolved by ordering via iPad with pix. If there...

"Good quality, new rooms and friendly, professional staff. Has a nice garden too. One of Suzhou's best!"

"Great stay"

"There is a bakery on the first floor of the lobby which was very convenient for early mornings. There was a washer dryer but the drying takes 3 hours and it's not very sanitary because other people were able to put their laundry together with our laundry. The bathroom facilities were good and so was the bedroom. The staff were really helpful and assisted us with every question we had. Overall, we enjoyed our stay."

"This is one of the most spectacularly designed hotels I have ever experienced. And I've been around. It feels like a garden oasis and museum just as much as a hotel. No cost to create a mesmerizing interior was spared. A far cry from the typical 5 star tower with predictable, boring environment. Breakfast was adequate but a little lame considering that everything else is just amazing here."

"I would stay at this hotel again."

"Wide room and clean! Good!"
