Cheap & Good. Booked this because it's close to the office & it's very affordable, as compared to some other hotels.
Wonderful room - contemporary design, new furniture, LCD TV ...
Location's not too bad
- near to Shang Ye Jie, a street lined up with many restaurants.
- near to Emerald Square, shopping & plenty of restaurants.
Cons - a little far away from Guan Qian Jie & SIP.

The Hotel One Suzhou is a beautifully designed, modern hotel on the outskirts of Suzhou. The reservation department was wonderful, led by Ms, Brenda Kou, who phoned me several times from China to make sure my reservation was in order. She even offered me a free upgrade and graciously agreed to change our two-night stay to one at the last minute so that we could stay overnight in Tongli.


The hotel lobby is stunning and the lounge/restaurant is trendy and comfortable for a drink or a meal. The service at the breakfast buffet was excellent. The lounge comes complete with free Wii which provided hours of fun for us in the evening.


After arriving later than expected at the hotel and wanting to do as much sightseeing as possible, Ms. Kou came and met with us, quickly put together an itinerary for seeing the I.M Pei museum and the Humble Administrator's Garden, called a taxi for us, and had us on our way within 10 minutes!


Our room was stylish and comfortable with everything needed for both a leisure and/or business stay, including great WiFi, entertainment center, wonderful ergonomic desk chair, great linens, bathroom amenities and more!

Ms. Malvine Berthold, in the management department, made a special effort to greet us and make sure everything was in order with our stay. We spent a bit of our last day chatting with her about our different experiences in China and she was most charming and helpful.


Upon our departure both women, and seemingly the entire hotel staff, put us in a taxi and bid us a warm and personable farewell! A real gem of a hotel, for China, or anywhere in the world!
