LBED Qingmu Inn (Suzhou Guanqian Street Pingjiang Street)

Stumbled upon this hotel by chance. It looked great, and the price was reasonable. I definitely wasn't disappointed after checking in! They have robots, free self-service laundry, and the public areas are really clean and smell fresh. As soon as I entered my room, a pleasant scent greeted me. The room isn't big, but it has everything you need and is excellent value for money! Watching shows on the projector was a blast too! I really love this hotel!

Pros: 1. The entire place is smart-enabled, from the curtains and lighting to the toilet and mirror. Everything is automated, and the facilities are very clean. 2. What impressed me most was that the hairdryer here didn't feel cheap at all. 3. Although the space isn't as large as a typical hotel room, I found it perfectly suited for one person, and it would also feel cozy for two. It has a refined ambiance, which is quite rare. 4. This accommodation also provides shoe-shine cloths. The washing machine is great too, and comes with a dryer. 5. It's very close to all the nearby attractions, so you won't spend much on taxis. You can basically walk or take the subway. 6. The mattress and duvet are incredibly comfortable! I slept very well! In every aspect, I feel it rivals hotels priced around 200 (the space might be a drawback, but for those who love a cozy feel, it's an excellent choice). 7. The milk tea and fruit juice at the front desk are delicious! Definitely worth trying. The hotel's fragrance isn't a cheap one; it's pleasant and not overpowering. 8. It's also worth mentioning their shampoo and toiletries; they left my hair feeling smooth, not frizzy. While not big brands, for a hotel, they're quite good. Cons: 1. "No disposable bath towels": Even though it's newly opened and the room is thoughtfully decorated with some small amenities (shoe-shine cloths, disposable toilet seat covers), the cost of disposable bath towels in bulk should be very low. Perhaps the owner considered the cost (or didn't want to use cheap disposable bath towels), but I think for someone who is a bit of a clean freak, this is quite important. After all, even if the towels provided by the hotel are disinfected, if the previous guest used them to wipe their feet or bottom, I'd still be hesitant to use them on my face. Disposable bath towels would solve this problem perfectly. 2. The washing machine and dryer should be clearly labeled (though perhaps I just didn't notice). Initially, I couldn't tell the difference between them, and only figured it out after looking at the buttons. 3. I once stayed at a chain hotel where the cleaning staff noticed I had a mouse, and when I returned to my room, they had placed a mouse pad for me. However, LBED didn't provide this. If this hotel's service were a bit more attentive, it might be even more popular. I sincerely wish the owner of this hotel a thriving business. I will definitely book this hotel again if I visit the area in the future.

The place was incredibly clean and modern, equipped with everything you could need, even automated curtains! The projector was great, and the AC temperature was just right. The only downside, and I'm not sure if there's a pet shop nearby, but every night around midnight or early in the morning, there would be a lot of dog barking. The soundproofing couldn't block it out, which was a bit bothersome. Otherwise, everything else was perfect, and the service was super friendly. The location is also fantastic, just a six or seven-minute walk from the subway station.

The room was clean and tidy, with new facilities and fresh bedding. The air conditioning heated up very quickly. The butler service was excellent. The hotel is right outside a commercial street, making shopping and dining very convenient, and it's lively at night. It's also close to attractions and the subway station, which is great. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Suzhou.

The room facilities were very clean, and the front desk staff had a great attitude. They even helped me switch to a more spacious room when they saw I had a lot of luggage, which I really appreciated.
