This is a nice hotel in the newer part of suzhou, close to jinji lake and with a few good restaurants nearby. Right next to the subway station (Xinghai square). The rooms are nice,with european chinese and uk plug sockets.William gave me some advice on what tourist destinations to go to, useful as i was only there 2 days. The pool was ok but a little small,not great for swimming laps but otherwise fine,there is a sauna although there is no frosted glass so its a good thing it is on the 27th floor. I didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment on the food. I had a slight problem with electrics in my room but it was fixed immediately. The lobby is on the 4th floor, handy to know before you check in. The staff speak perfect english which is refreshing. All in all a decent place to be if you are in suzhou for a few days
