Next to the Suzhou River Band near WuNing Bridge, beautiful. Night view is incredible in non raining day. There is a foreigner friendly bar/food area near the bridge. Many people walk and run along the river. Love it. The breakfast could be improved. Pretty basic.

This property is very close to Subway Line 11 and 13, and 1 subway stop away from Subway Line 2 (Jiang Su Rd), which makes it very convenient to get to the major tourist sites. I enjoyed the free breakfast, which included freshly-made ramen noodle soup, wontons, as well as an assortment of steamed buns and hot dishes like eggs and fried rice. The property itself is slightly on the older side, but they provided free bottled and hot water at the entrance and great service. I was also grateful for the on-site laundry room, which is not always available in Chinese hotels. Overall, we stayed for 7 nights and look forward to coming back again soon.
