    Foreigner-friendly hotel with great location and friendly staff. The rooms were both of good size and quality, including good WiFi. Breakfast was good and the service was excellent. I'd definitely choose this hotel again in any other future visits to Suzhou. :-)

    This guesthouse is a unique, beautiful and peaceful place to stay. There are no cars in the narrow street, so you only hear birds in the morning. The room and the common facilities are as nice as the photos, It's a great location for exploring the old town of Suzhou and beyond. And most importantly, the hostess is so kind and helpful. It was my first visit to China and she made a great difference. I hope I'll be able to come back.

    I really liked Begonia Flowers. Set within Tongli Old Town, tucked away down a little lane, it’s in a great location. It’s simple, slightly quirky and very comfortable with rooms decked out in a subtle way with little fairy lights. We had a lovely big comfortable bed, with a electric blanket, which could come in handy on colder days. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, I would definitely stay here again.
