"It was an okay hostel. Relatively clean with a good location. Bathrooms were also clean. Just have to be careful about finding it. I went based on the location in the map on the app (couldnt find it in any other app), and spent over an hour looking for it. Even the local shops didn't know where it was located. Had me walking around in circles. Suggestion: as to be added on wechat as soon as you reserve to avoid any misunderstandings"

Pan Pacific Suzhou

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Our room had a beautiful view, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. Breakfast offered a good variety of choices, and we enjoyed it very much. The complimentary afternoon tea had only a few items, but it was still a lovely and unexpected surprise. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and really enjoyed our stay."
