The room was immaculately clean and spacious, with a well-designed bathroom that offered plenty of room even when traveling with a toddler. The smart toilet was a real game-changer for families, and having a Dyson in the room added that extra touch of luxury and comfort. The staff were incredibly attentive and professional—especially the front desk team and our personal host. When they learned we were traveling with a young child, they proactively arranged a ground-floor room, which made life so much easier without needing to navigate stairs. Communication via WeChat was fast and efficient; any request was handled promptly and with care. Daily fresh fruit deliveries and evening sweet soup created a homey, nurturing atmosphere. What truly touched us was how the hotel remembered our child’s birthday and surprised us with a custom cake—such a heartfelt gesture that brought tears to our eyes. Breakfast was a semi-self-service style, and we received a menu the night before to choose from, making it convenient and personalized.

Blossom Hill Inn Suzhou
Staying at Blossom Hill Inn Suzhou was a memorable experience, especially given its prime location right on Pingjiang Road—super convenient to explore the old town by foot. The property itself is beautifully restored from a traditional courtyard house, and every corner exudes that authentic Jiangnan garden charm with stunning views that change with each step. Our host, Xiao Ming, gave us an insightful and passionate overview of the estate’s history, which really deepened our appreciation for the place. That said, there were two things we’d like to mention. First, since it’s an older building, the rooms get quite cold at night despite having both heaters and air conditioning—we actually woke up around 6 AM because of the chill. Second, breakfast isn’t included, and we paid 49 yuan for two breakfast sets. Our host walked us to a nearby restaurant, Xinzhenyuan, where we ordered a mix of rice noodles, shrimp dumplings, and steamed buns—half with shrimp, half with pork. Unfortunately, after eating, we both suffered from stomach issues and ended up feeling unwell. We strongly advise against ordering breakfast here—food quality and hygiene seem questionable. It would be great if the hotel could investigate this issue with their partner vendors. Overall, the atmosphere, service, and location are exceptional, but improving room temperature control and food safety would make this stay even better.

The courtyard is beautifully designed with serene views, perfect for relaxing or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. Breakfast was plentiful and included delicious local flavors. Everything about this place felt authentic and well-cared for. From the charming ambiance to the exceptional service, this was one of the best stays I’ve had in Suzhou. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, culturally rich getaway.
