Scholars Hotel Suzhou Pingjiangfu

The hotel has excellent location, just few minutes walk to the old town. You can easily rent an electric motorbike for 50 yuans/24 hour (plus deposit of 300 yuans, no ID required) to run around the city, visiting other places like gardens, museums, temples).

The gated hotel is a co-op made up of restored and new buildings, a restaurant, and a spa, but nothing over 3 stories. There are numerous restaurants once you leave the grounds -- go west. Get the breakfast buffet, it is worth it! The tourist center is a block west and next to the Grand Canal. Go there, and ask the nice young lady how to get around. The hotel will give you change for the bus. The police and information will help you in the metro. Be sure to walk up and down the canal, enjoy people watching, especially the young ladies dressed and made up in beautiful period piece costumes. You can rent one yourself if you wish to participate. Most of the tourist sights are within walking distance, including the Humble Administer's Garden and the sanpan ride on the canal. The hotel also has a nightly cruise sign up. If you want to see a panda, you'll have to go to the Taihu Wetland Park -- it's about 30 km from the hotel. You can get there by cab or public transportation.

Great location, stone throw away from Pingjiang Road and easy transport to local famous tourist attractions. Friendly staff, great service, willing to help. Of course don't expect everyone knows English. The only downside is also location. Difficulty to call taxi during rush hour cos no one wants to drive this crazy congested road.

Convenient located right next to the busy ping jiang road with lots of attractions and shops. One down side is the massive jam at its doorstep during most hours.. if you’re willing to endure that then this place is excellent.

My favorite hotel in Suzhou. nice and the restaurant is quite foreigner friendly

Great value for money!

Very nicely located next to Panjiang Road. Staff were polite, the breakfast was nice and the hotel combines traditional Chinese architecture including gardens with modern style. Would stay again.

優點：地理位置極佳，出門右拐走一分鐘就是平江路，步行10分鐘可以到獅子林，再走五分鐘可以到蘇博和拙政園，房間也比較寬敞，還帶有陽台，可以晾曬衣服，酒店早餐種類不是特別多，但是口味還行，紅湯麪我娃很喜歡，服務人員也比較友善。缺點：在選擇酒店的時候關注到了洗澡的問題，特意打電話詢問了哪種房間不用站在浴缸裏洗澡，得到的答覆是雙人間不用，於是訂了雙人間，結果還是站在浴缸裏洗，不知道是業務不熟悉，還是故意欺騙手段，然後就是這個浴室的設計真是太糟糕了，不僅要站在浴缸裏洗，跨進跨出的角度也很危險。

酒店內有個餐廳，菜餚非常好，還可以聽評彈。入住酒店後前台幫我們升級了套房，長者、孩子都滿意。酒店內還有一個“半園”，景色也不錯，人還少。下次蘇州行還是打卡這家酒店。酒店就在平江路上，對長者出行非常棒👍🏻。
