[2025 Suzhou Hotels] Travel Guide for The Staying House (Updated Jul)

This time the place chosen for the relaxation trip is very good haha! A family weekend short trip decided on the spur of the moment. I'm very happy that I didn't choose the wrong boutique homestay, it's amazing. Small and exquisite, the room decoration style and product details are not inferior to the five-star hotel standard. These two days happened to have good weather, saw a beautiful sunset, soaked in the private hot spring, a great experience! The courtyard is really comfortable, the water is just in front, and the private hot spring is also very large, the private hot spring alone is worth the ticket price! The bathroom also has a smart toilet, the toiletries are also thoughtful, and the stay is very comfortable! The housekeeper is also very considerate, responsive, and the mini bar is really conscientious, a large plate of fruits every day and super sweet. The breakfast for two days is not repeated, all are delicious, the island is quiet and warm, suitable for relaxing. It's very suitable for a weekend experience, listening to the sound of water and wind chimes

Nestled in the water towns of Jiangsu, Shiodome House is a stunning hidden gem. This guesthouse seamlessly blends traditional Suzhou-style architecture with modern design. Its white walls and black-tiled roofs are complemented by cobblestone paths, and stepping through the door reveals a courtyard with gently flowing streams, as if entering a living ink painting. The most delightful feature of Shiodome House is its "immersive Jiangnan experience." In the morning, guests can participate in traditional crafts like tea picking and pottery making. Afternoons are perfect for savoring a pot of Biluochun tea on the waterfront terrace, while evenings offer a chance to drift along the canals in a traditional black-awning boat, watching the sunset bathe the water town in golden hues. The owner-led "Alleyway Food Tour" uncovers hidden culinary treasures of the old town, from sweet osmanthus lotus root to crab roe soup dumplings, each bite a taste of authentic Jiangnan flavors. If you're weary of the city's hustle and bustle, this is the perfect place to rediscover the poetry of life. Shiodome House is not just a place to stay but a slow-living journey that breathes in harmony with Jiangnan culture.

The price/performance ratio is quite high 👍The Shiodome store has good taste and good scenery. Recommended ❤Recommendation reason: ✅Excellent geographical location, close to Humble Administrator's Garden and Pingjiang Road. You only need to go the other way and walk for ten minutes to reach the place. Most of the streets are one-way and there are many tourists. There may be congestion sometimes, but the actual impact is minimal because you are already in the core area of ​​the city and can walk around freely! . ✅A traditional Su-style courtyard room with a good value for money. The housekeeper provides considerate service and the check-in is very fast. The Japanese style is combined with the traditional Suzhou style. Free costume photography is provided, and the lighting props are very complete. There is also a private fish pond where you can enjoy the view at any time~ ✅The room is comfortable and pleasant. The room is clean and tidy, with a light fragrance floating in the air. Adjacent to the hotel is the picturesque river view. You can enjoy it by opening the window, and you will feel very happy! Must give a thumbs up, the hotel's WIFI signal is very strong📶 Surf the Internet without any lag, and handle office affairs efficiently

This homestay is mainly in Japanese style. Every corner is carefully decorated, including the plants and trees in the courtyard, the layout of the room, the round windows in the corridor, and the small decorations in the corners of the house. The owner is so attentive that I feel like I am in Japan 😭. The area around this B&B is also great for taking photos. You can look at the lake view, the fishing window, and enjoy a slow-paced life. advantage: The B&B is super clean🧼, and you can rent kimonos at will. They smelled delicious when you got them👘. It’s been raining these two days, perfect for staying in the room🛏! It’s a pity that I couldn’t go up to the courtyard to take pictures, and there were not enough lights, so it was not very clear at night🎇. The breakfast is also delicious😋, and the butler's service is even better, especially good, responsive, and the atmosphere is super relaxed🎈. The hotel also provides audio equipment, which is perfect for vacation 🎶! Disadvantages: There are not many restaurants around, and the food may not be as rich as living in the city center, but it doesn’t matter. I came here to enjoy a life away from the hustle and bustle of the city. In short, it is a very good homestay. I hope it can always maintain the same standard in the future👍 Suzhou Jiangsu Hanshan Temple Xishan
