Wow, this is the most beautiful hotel we have been to during our trip. Just go and see by yourself, favour a full chinese traditional experience instead of going to international brands. And the breakfast, amazing. Special thanks to Jinjin for her help at the reception !

My mother and I had a pleasant stay at Gusu Yard Xuanzhou. The staffs were all friendly and they tried their best accomodating us, even with language barrier. The place itself is gorgeous with lots of photogenic spots. Our room was spacious and well equipped. Breakfast (included) was huge and beautifully presented. Overall we loved our experience at Gusu Yard Xuanzhou and would highly recommend others to check them out.
Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for staying at Suzhou Cultural and Tourism Gusu Courtyard Xuanzhou Hotel. Thank you for taking the time to comment for us! It is a pity that we did not get your full score. The 0.3 gap also points out the direction for us to continue to work hard. We will continue to work hard to provide a more comfortable, clean, beautiful accommodation environment and warm service. We look forward to your next visit and bringing you a new and richer experience.

Very friendly and helpful staff, the building is traditional and characteristic. Room facilities ok (very good shower with perfect temperature and pressure). In hindsight I wish I had booked one of the better rooms instead of a standard one because I think the level of comfort improves greatly. Breakfast is Chinese style, nicely put together. If you need coffee with your breakfast, please be warned that there is none at the property but you can just steps outside onto the Main Street and you will find several coffee shops for your fix. I do recommend staying at a Chinese traditional hotel rather than a modern hotel in Suzhou.
Response from Property: Dear guests, thank you for staying at Suzhou Cultural Tourism Gusu Courtyard Xuanzhou Hall. We couldn't be delighted to receive your recognition for our service, breakfast and toiletry products. For the sound insulation problem and the carpet detail you mentioned, we have recorded it and will improve it as soon as possible, and we look forward to seeing you again to provide you with a more perfect experience.

Fantastic hotel and location. Very historic building.
Response from Property: Thank you very much for choosing to stay at Suzhou Cultural Tourism Gusu Courtyard · Xuanchou Guild Hall! We are also very grateful for your recognition of our courtyard. The courtyard was transformed from the former Qing Dynasty Wanling Guild Hall. Here, you can not only experience the modern hustle and bustle of Suzhou's city life but also enjoy the deep and serene atmosphere of an old Suzhou courtyard. We will continue to strive to provide a more comfortable, clean and beautiful accommodation environment as well as warm service. We look forward to your next visit and hope to offer you a brand new and more enriching experience.

We will continue to strive to provide more comfortable, clean, beautiful accommodation and warm service. We look forward to your next visit to bring you a new and richer experience.

The service from the staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was really good. The staff members, Xiao Chen, Xiao Li, Xiao Yao and Xiao Ma all helped to make our first and second stay very memorable. They helped recommend restaurants, find tourist locations, adjust the heater and provide an early breakfast when we have to go to the train station. The elegant and historic setting and the friendly and helpful staff made both our stays here very pleasant. Highly recommended.

It was a pleasant stay, highly recommend if you'd like to experience staying in a chinese courtyard house (四合院). The staffs were all very helpful and accomodating. They have an amazing breakfast spread in a 9 tiled box, all different variety of Chinese breakfast. It's an amazing experience if you don't mind the rather thin sound proofing. There are some details that can be improved, for example, the carpeting should be changed since it felt a little stiff and old. There should be a hook to hang clothes while bathing, though they do provide bathrobes. P.S. I love the brand they used for toiletries.😉

We arrived late and the staff waited to check us in which was welcomed. Nice location although a little way out from the sights of Suzhou. Breakfast was not the best but the hotel is beautifully restored. The only downside of an old building is that it was very noisy early in the morning!
Response from Property: Dear guests, thank you very much for your affirmation of our environment. For the problem of room soundproofing you mentioned, this aspect is indeed not very good, because the hotel itself is an ancient building, but also a cultural protection control building, are wooden structures, the sound insulation effect is indeed not up to the standard of the normal hotel, the front desk also has earplugs to receive, we will continue to strengthen the sound insulation in the future, breakfast is a Suzhou-style dim sum, steamed points and nutrition with the nine-square grid package, the hall is located in the center of the ancient city of Suzhou, convenient transportation, the surrounding subway stations and bus stations are very close to walking a few hundred meters. We will continue to strive to provide more comfortable, clean, beautiful accommodation and warm service. We look forward to your next visit to bring you a new and richer experience.

The hotel is a great old house, beatifully restored that really takes you to ancient times, but it feels really abandoned and important details are not considered. To keep such a establishment other type of management needs to be put in place. Aspects like the super dirty moquette in rooms or the ridiculous breakfast (both Chinese and foreign clients were absolutely shocked) can be easily improved. Definitely such an investment to restore a beatiful place needs better management.
Response from Property: Hello dear guests! Thank you very much for your stay and detailed review. We apologize for not making your trip perfect. Regarding the breakfast you mentioned, the club provides a Chinese set menu in the form of a nine-square grid, and if you don't like it, you can ask the front desk to suggest it for you to adjust, and there is no absurdity. Regarding room hygiene, the hygiene of the hall is cleaned by room cleaning staff every day, if you feel that it does not meet your standards or requirements, you can contact the front desk to help you clean again until you are satisfied. The revitalization of the old house is also something that our company has been doing, and some aspects may need to be strengthened, and we will also strive to make the old house glow with new brilliance, if you have better suggestions or comments, please feel free to contact the club. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused. We hope that in the near future, after our renovation and upgrading, we will have the opportunity to provide you with better service and a more comfortable and warm stay experience. We sincerely look forward to your visit again and wish you a happy day!
