    I wanted to have a good look at the gardens in Suzhou, so I chose Pingjiang mansion. The surrounding lion forest, Humble Administrator's garden, lotus root garden and Pingjiang old street are not far away

    The location of the hotel is quite good. You can walk five to ten minutes to the lion forest, Humble Administrator's garden, Suzhou zoo, etc. there is Pingjiang road nearby. It's a good choice to stroll in the evening.

    The location of the store is undeniable. It is quiet in the midst of trouble. It is very close to famous scenic spots such as the Lion Forest Museum in the Humble Administrator's garden. Pingjiang road is next to it. This time I booked a business room with fax machine and other equipment, but I can't use it, ha ha. The service is important and should be praised. First of all, the uncle waiter came from a distance to pick up his luggage. Although he was a little embarrassed at the beginning, after all, the other party was older than himself. Fortunately, his luggage was not heavy, and this situation immediately made me feel better about the hotel

    The reason why I gave the whole 5 points does not mean that the hotel is perfect. However, in terms of geographical location, it's absolutely good. It's not ten minutes away from Humble Administrator's garden, museum, lion forest and lotus root garden. There are free shuttle buses to Huqiu, Hanshan Temple and Xiyuan temple. It's only 50 meters away from Pingjiang Road, the pedestrian street. Personally, it's much better than Guanqian Street, because Guanqian Street is a commercial street, which is basically available in any city, There is no feature. It's better to walk along Pingjiang road. It's a scenic spot during the day and at night. Besides the hotel service, objectively speaking, the hotel service staff have a strong sense of service, especially the concierge in the lobby. Many of them are Uncle level, especially the uncle on the morning shift on August 8. He is really like the uncle next door. Every time we go in and out, he will say Hello, as if he had been a neighbor for decades, making people feel at home. But the young people in the hotel were almost there. Once the cleaning aunt forgot to put the floor towel for us. I called the room center on the room phone. The little girl didn't know what the floor towel was. She said that she was the switchboard, and no one told her the name of the items in the room; Once we ordered a room to deliver meals. After eating, I didn't want to bother the waiter to collect the tableware again. I wanted to take it downstairs when I went out in the evening. As a result, the waiter in the lobby actually said that he didn't know that the song restaurant of the hotel was responsible for delivering meals. Later, I inquired about it. The hotel only delivered meals in the western dining room, but not in the Chinese restaurant. From these two things, A good attitude alone cannot solve the problem. However, this hotel is worth recommending, especially for those with old people and children. It is very convenient to travel without getting involved

    The hotel environment is good, the geographical location is very advantageous, there are many attractions and snacks around. But as a five-star hotel, the bathroom is a little poor. I feel that everything else is good when I enter the apartment for the elderly.

    It's reserved for mom and dad. Dad thought about it for a long time. The location is very good, the hotel environment is also very good, forcing gegao. But the facilities in the guest room are not so good. It feels old. And it's small. The cost performance is not high. It's OK to stay once in a while.

    The location is very good. Go out is Pingjiang Road, you can walk around, you can also take a hand boat, the pier is diagonally opposite the door of the hotel. The room is not luxurious, but large and comfortable. The elderly housekeepers and concierges are very considerate and take the initiative to help solve all kinds of problems. The Chinese food is delicious and the noodle soup is impressive. There is also a beautiful garden, small and exquisite, with two children playing in it for a long time. Very satisfied with the check-in experience.

    First of all, the advantages: the location of the hotel is very good, the built-in garden is also very exquisite and beautiful, and the waiters are also quite warm. Then, the disadvantages: as a boutique hotel with more than 1000 items, the details need to be improved, the quality of the hotel's spare parts is not good, the quality of the bedding is also very general, the structure of the shower is very strange, and there is no place for towels and clothes, The reservation package said there were welcome fruits and coupons, but none of them were given to the guests

    What I want to say is that when I come to Suzhou, I choose pingjiangfu hotel. From leaving the high-speed railway station to leaving Suzhou, the courtesy and warm-hearted service of the concierge and the team has always been with us, especially at the pick-up station. There is a special bus between the scenic spots. On the way, I listen to the master talk about the history of Suzhou, recommend delicious restaurants, and let us taste the most authentic Suzhou food, From an old gentleman to a handsome young man, the high professional quality of the service staff makes us feel the humanistic charm of Suzhou, a famous historical city. I also like the elegant cultural atmosphere of the hotel lobby and elevator room. When I come back from the evening, I write calligraphy and read books in the hall, take a walk in the backyard, and then return to the warm and spacious room, which is warm and comfortable, I will choose to stay here next time. In addition, we ordered two nights and two days. When we checked in, it was upgraded, but we could only stay one night. The next day, we gave a temporary notice to change the room. Although it didn't bring too much trouble, if the front desk could inform the guests in advance, it would not bring inconvenience to the guests. I hope it can be improved.

    I stayed in five hotels along the way. I just want to say that this one is the most satisfied. There is nothing to say about the good service. The guests are all great men. They are very friendly. They help to take their luggage and recommend good tourist routes and local food. The key is that there is a special bus to pick up and send them to various scenic spots. When they go, they wait to see them. When the time is almost up, they will take the initiative to call and ask if they need a car to pick up the hotel. In particular, the team leader was knowledgeable and explained all the way. Very friendly! In short, it is really super five-star! In addition, the hotel environment is good, the room is very big, very comfortable!

    From other places to Suzhou, very bad impression! Very disappointed! The child fell in the hotel. The 2-year-old child was full of blood and wanted to be sent to the hospital for stitches. No one came out to ask. He couldn't reach the car. After waiting for a long time, he called 110 and said you should call 120 yourself. Let me describe the process of the fall on the phone! A customer with a car couldn't look down on it, so he took the initiative to send the child to the hospital. I came back to take a taxi to the hotel. It was raining heavily. I told the driver to take it downstairs. The child had just finished sewing the needle. He didn't bring an umbrella and couldn't get wet. Unexpectedly, the inhumane dog driver stopped at the gate and let us off! From the gate to live downstairs straight-line distance of 300 meters, under heavy rain, the child just finished sewing needle! Have been to so many places, never a city so cold! No taxi driver in a city is so inhumane! No five-star hotel is so black hearted! The hotel has a car to take the guests to the scenic spots, but no car to take the injured guests to the hospital! Bad! I will never come back to Suzhou in my life!

    The surrounding environment is very good, and it's convenient to travel, especially on Pingjiang road. The hotel service is general, the facilities and equipment are old, and the room wallpaper is stripped, which is not the grade of five-star boutique hotel at all! Breakfast varieties are relatively single. Overall cost performance is not high, 1000 yuan house price is not the standard!

Diario di viaggio
  • La pulizia degli hotel in stile Suzhou risiede nella meticolosa attenzione ai dettagli

    Prima di venire a Suzhou, avevo letto molte lamentele sulla scarsa igiene degli hotel più vecchi nelle zone turistiche. Questa volta, ho soggiornato all'Scholars Hotel Suzhou Pingjiangfu con l'atteggiamento di "proviamo". Dopo due notti, posso affermare con sicurezza che questo hotel con giardino in stile Suzhou, nascosto nel cuore di Pingjiang Road, incarna la pulizia in ogni dettaglio, anche il più invisibile, smentendo completamente i miei preconcetti sugli hotel in edifici storici.
    Viaggiando il cancello del giardino dell'hotel, la prima impressione è di luminosità e freschezza. Persino le fessure del giardino roccioso di Taihu sono immacolate, senza traccia di foglie cadute o pozzanghere. I sentieri in pietra sono lucidati a specchio e persino i corrimano in legno vicino allo stagno sono privi di polvere. Il portachiavi che mi è stato consegnato al check-in era in cotone e lino sterilizzati, senza alcun residuo appiccicoso dovuto all'uso ripetuto. Anche il divano accanto a me, nella sala d'attesa, mostrava lievi aloni d'acqua lasciati dalle salviette disinfettanti usate di recente dalla signora delle pulizie.
    Nel momento in cui ho aperto la porta, mi sono sentita subito rassicurata. Non c'era traccia di quell'odore di muffa che spesso si trova nei vecchi edifici; al contrario, un delicato e piacevole profumo di canfora pervadeva l'aria. I cuscini di broccato vicino alla finestra erano immacolati, senza una macchia o un odore sgradevole. Ho usato i miei fazzoletti bianchi per pulire, uno per uno, il tavolo, il davanzale e il comodino; i fazzoletti erano pulitissimi, senza un granello di polvere. La cosa più rassicurante era la biancheria da letto. Le lenzuola e il copripiumino di un bianco purissimo non mostravano segni di ingiallimento, le cuciture erano perfettamente lisce, senza una sola piega, e non c'era un solo capello fuori posto sui bordi delle federe. Essendo una persona estremamente sensibile all'igiene della biancheria da letto, mi sono sentita completamente a mio agio non appena l'ho toccata.
    I dettagli del bagno hanno superato persino le mie aspettative. La zona doccia e bagno, interamente in vetro e separata dalla zona asciutta, era pulitissima, senza una sola macchia d'acqua o calcare. Gli ugelli del soffione termostatico della doccia erano immacolati, completamente privi del calcare che spesso si accumula negli hotel più datati. Lo specchio del lavandino era così lucido da riflettere nitidamente le mie ciglia, e persino i residui di sapone nelle fessure erano stati puliti a fondo. Ho sollevato appositamente il coperchio del water per controllare: la base e il bordo erano impeccabili, e accanto c'era persino un piccolo adesivo con la scritta "Disinfettato", che indicava l'ultimo intervento di disinfezione effettuato dalla signora delle pulizie. Questa sensazione di pulizia e pulizia è decisamente più rassicurante di quella che si prova in molti hotel di lusso di catena.
    Ancora più toccanti sono i dettagli nascosti nella quotidianità: mentre passeggiavo lungo Pingjiang Road, sono stata sorpresa da una leggera pioggia e, al mio ritorno in hotel, il personale delle pulizie ha prontamente preso il mio cappotto bagnato per farlo asciugare e, quando me l'ha riportato, persino la gruccia era stata pulita con una salvietta disinfettante. Il bicchiere d'acqua sulla scrivania non solo era stato disinfettato di nuovo al mio ritorno il giorno successivo, ma non c'era una sola macchia d'acqua o impronta digitale. Camminando per il corridoio di notte, ho visto la signora delle pulizie usare una lampada a raggi UV per disinfettare i corrimano e le maniglie delle porte nelle aree comuni, e persino pulire le foglie delle piante verdi negli angoli.
    Pensavo che gli hotel più vecchi nelle zone turistiche avessero inevitabilmente un livello di igiene inferiore, ma dopo aver soggiornato all'Scholars Hotel Suzhou Pingjiangfu, ho capito che la vera pulizia non si limita alla pulizia superficiale, ma consiste nel fornire una solida sensazione di tranquillità in ogni dettaglio, che lo si noti o meno. Questa meticolosità, radicata nell'essenza stessa di Suzhou, è la qualità più preziosa che rende così rassicurante soggiornare in un hotel in una zona panoramica. La prossima volta che sarò a Suzhou, sceglierò sicuramente di nuovo questo hotel.

  • Soggiornando qui per un viaggio d'affari, ho trasformato l'atmosfera rilassata di Suzhou in una modalità efficiente

    Questa volta, sono venuto a Suzhou per una fiera di settore, culturale e creativa. Ho volutamente evitato i soliti hotel di catena e ho prenotato una stanza all'hotel Scholars Hotel Suzhou Pingjiangfu. Inizialmente, l'ho scelto solo perché era vicino al luogo della fiera. Dopo tre giorni, mi sono reso conto che questo hotel con giardino in stile Suzhou, nascosto nel cuore di Pingjiang Road, ha completamente smentito il mio stereotipo secondo cui "gli hotel nelle zone turistiche non sono adatti ai viaggi d'affari". Ha saputo coniugare perfettamente l'efficienza di un viaggio d'affari con l'atmosfera rilassata di Suzhou.
    Per chi viaggia per lavoro con orari serrati, la posizione è fondamentale. L'hotel si trova a soli 600 metri dalla stazione di Lindun Road sulla linea 1 della metropolitana. Trascinando valigie piene di materiale espositivo, non ho dovuto affrontare le strade acciottolate e sconnesse della zona turistica. La navetta per il Suzhou International Expo Center era a soli 15 minuti di distanza, eliminando la necessità di partire mezz'ora prima per evitare il traffico dell'ora di punta mattutina. Nel raggio di 3 chilometri si trovava il 90% degli studi culturali e creativi di Pingjiang Road. Dopo la fiera, l'incontro con i partner per discutere i progetti era a soli 10 minuti a piedi, permettendomi di trovare una tranquilla sala da tè in riva al fiume senza perdere tempo nel traffico e nelle deviazioni.
    La procedura di check-in ha risolto perfettamente i problemi tipici dei viaggiatori d'affari. Vedendo il mio badge della fiera, la receptionist mi ha subito indirizzato verso la corsia preferenziale, consegnandomi la chiave della camera in 30 secondi. Mi hanno persino offerto un upgrade a una camera più tranquilla a un piano superiore, evitando il lato trafficato che si affaccia su Pingjiang Road. Anche per la mia esigenza, non menzionata, di lavorare temporaneamente da casa, avevano già predisposto un cavo internet ad alta velocità e le istruzioni per la stampa sulla scrivania. Lo spazio di 42 metri quadrati era privo di inutili decorazioni di tendenza. La scrivania in palissandro, larga 1,6 metri, era dotata di porte di ricarica rapida di diverse dimensioni. Ho trascorso tre ore a rivedere una proposta di progetto creativo e la sedia ergonomica in dotazione mi ha offerto un supporto eccellente, prevenendo qualsiasi affaticamento alla schiena o al collo anche dopo essere rimasto seduto a lungo. La sorpresa più piacevole è stata che la scrivania si affacciava su un piccolo giardino; quando mi stancavo di rivedere la proposta, potevo alzare lo sguardo e ammirare le ninfee accanto alle pietre di Taihu, rilassando immediatamente i miei nervi tesi – molto più efficace che trovarsi di fronte alle fredde e dure pareti di un ufficio.
    Le strutture business dell'hotel hanno superato di gran lunga le mie aspettative. La sala conferenze multifunzionale di 200 metri quadrati era dotata di un proiettore ad alta definizione e di una stabile rete 5G. La mia piccola riunione di progetto con 50 persone si è svolta senza intoppi. Persino le pause tè includevano torta all'osmanto in stile Suzhou e tè Biluochun. I nostri partner ci hanno fatto i complimenti, dicendo: "Discutere di progetti in un giardino amplia notevolmente i nostri orizzonti". Il business center, aperto 24 ore su 24, era sempre a disposizione. Avevo bisogno di ristampare i documenti per la firma di un progetto all'una di notte, e in soli cinque minuti al piano di sotto è stato fatto. Hanno persino accelerato la stampa delle brochure patinate.
    Dopo un viaggio di tre giorni, a differenza dei miei soliti viaggi di lavoro in cui non vedevo l'ora di prendere il treno ad alta velocità, mi sono volutamente preso mezz'ora prima del check-out per ascoltare un breve spettacolo di narrazione in stile Suzhou nel padiglione dell'hotel. Il dolce dialetto di Suzhou si mescolava al suono del pipa, dissipando completamente la stanchezza del mio frenetico programma. Ciò che rende questo hotel con giardino in stile Suzhou così attento alle esigenze dei viaggiatori d'affari non sono solo le elaborate decorazioni antiche, ma il modo in cui si occupa proattivamente di tutti i dettagli che potrebbero influire sull'efficienza, permettendoti di assaporare un momento del ritmo rilassato di Suzhou anche nel bel mezzo di un programma frenetico. La prossima volta che verrò a Suzhou per lavoro, sceglierò sicuramente questo come base operativa.
