The cleanliness of Su style hotels lies in the attention to detail
Before coming to Suzhou, I found many old hotels in the scenic area were complaining about their hygiene. This time, I stayed in Scholars Hotel Suzhou Pingjiangfu with the attitude of trying. After two nights, I dare to say that this Suzhou style garden hotel hidden in the core of Pingjiang Road has rubbed the word "clean" into every invisible detail, completely breaking my stereotype of old architectural hotels.
Just across the garden gate of the hotel, the first feeling is bright and refreshing. Even in the gaps of the the Taihu Lake Lake rockery, there is not a drop of fallen leaves or accumulated water. The stone roads passing by are polished brightly, and even the wooden handrails beside the pool can not touch any floating ash. The room card holder handed over by the front desk during check-in is made of disinfected cotton and linen material, without any sticky feeling of repeated use. Even the nearby waiting sofa can see the faint water marks that the cleaning lady has just wiped with disinfectant wipes.
The moment I pushed open the door, I was immediately healed, completely devoid of the typical damp and stuffy smell of old buildings. The air was filled with a faint fragrance of camphor wood, and the woven cushions by the window had no stains or odors. I used my own white tissue to wipe them one by one along the tabletop, windowsill, and bedside table, and the tissue was clean without any floating dust. The most reassuring thing is the bedding. The pure white sheets and covers have no signs of yellowing, the stitches are smooth without any wrinkles, and there is not even a single extra piece of broken hair on the edge of the pillowcase. As someone who is extremely sensitive to bedding hygiene, I feel relieved the moment I touch them.
The details of the bathroom exceeded expectations, with the all glass dry wet separation area wiped clean and transparent, without any water stains or scale. The outlet of the thermostatic showerhead is dry and clean, completely free of the common clogging scale in old hotels. The mirror of the washbasin is wiped so clearly that it can reflect the eyelashes, and even the soap stains in the corners and crevices are cleaned clean. I deliberately lifted the toilet seat to take a look, and there were no stains on the base and edges. There was also a "disinfected" exclusive sticker next to it, indicating the disinfection time of the cleaning lady. This clear sense of peace of mind is even better than many high-end chain hotels.
What's even more striking are the details hidden in daily life: when I was strolling on Pingjiang Road and caught a drizzle before returning to the hotel, the room attendant took the initiative to help me dry my wet coat, and when I returned, even the clothes hanger was wiped with disinfectant wipes; The water cup placed on the desk was not only disinfected the next day, but also had no water stains or fingerprints on the cup wall. Passing through the corridor at night, you can see the cleaning aunt holding the ultraviolet disinfection lamp, disinfection and sterilization the handrails and door handles in the public area one by one, even wiping the leaves of the green plants in the corner.
I used to think that the cleanliness of old hotels in scenic spots would inevitably be compromised, but after staying at Scholars Hotel Suzhou Pingjiangfu this time, I realized that true cleanliness is never just about being spotless on the surface, but about giving you a sense of peace of mind in every detail you notice or don't notice. This kind of cleanliness that meticulously carves Su style into one's bones is the most rare confidence for staying in scenic hotels. Next time I come to Suzhou, I will definitely choose to come back here as soon as possible.Show more
I stayed here on a business trip and switched from slow mode to efficient mode in Gusu
This time when I came to Suzhou to participate in the industry cultural and creative exhibition, I deliberately avoided the city's chain business hotels and chose to stay at Scholars Hotel Suzhou Pingjiangfu. Originally, I only planned to stay close to the exhibition venue, but after staying for three days, I discovered that this Su style garden hotel hidden in the core of Pingjiang Road completely broke my stereotype that 'scenic hotels are not suitable for business trips', balancing the efficiency of business travel with the relaxation of Suzhou just right.
For business people rushing to make a trip, location is their first necessity. The hotel is a 600 meter walk from Lindun Road Station on Metro Line 1. With a suitcase filled with exhibits, you don't have to walk around the bumpy stone roads of the scenic area. It takes only 15 minutes to reach the shuttle station of Suzhou International Expo Center, without having to leave half an hour in advance to rush into the morning rush hour. Within a radius of 3 kilometers, 90% of the cultural and creative studios on Pingjiang Road are covered. After the meeting, we will discuss plans with our partners and find a quiet tea room by the river within a 10 minute walk, so you don't have to waste time in traffic jams and detours.
The check-in process completely hit the pain point of business travelers. The front desk saw me hanging an exhibition badge and took me directly to the fast processing channel. I received my room card in 30 seconds and even took the initiative to upgrade to a quiet room type in the high area, avoiding the pedestrian side facing Pingjiang Road. Even the "need for temporary office" that I didn't mention, I prepared high-speed internet cables and printing instructions on my desk in advance. The 42 square meter space does not have redundant internet celebrity decorations, and the 1.6-meter-wide sour wood desk is reserved with a full specification fast charging interface. I have continuously modified the 3-hour cultural and creative project plan, and the matching ergonomic chair has sufficient support, so sitting for a long time does not cause fatigue from waist and neck soreness. The most surprising thing is that the desk is facing the small garden. When you are tired of changing the plan, you can see the water lilies beside the the Taihu Lake Lake stone. The tense nerves can relax in an instant, which is much more efficient than facing the cold office wall.
The hotel's business facilities completely exceeded expectations. The 200 square meter multifunctional conference hall comes with high-definition projection and stable 5G network. The 50 person small project docking meeting I held here had zero lag throughout, and even the tea break was accompanied by Su style osmanthus cake and Bi Luo Chun. The partners praised that "discussing projects in the garden is much more open-minded". The 24-hour business center is available at any time. I need to print the project contract documents at 1am, and it takes me 5 minutes downstairs to complete. Even copperplate paper brochures can be printed urgently.
At the end of my three-day trip, I didn't feel as tired as usual from business trips and just wanted to catch the high-speed train. Before checking out, I spent half an hour smoking and listened to a short Pingtan in the hotel's pavilion. The soft words of Wu Nong were wrapped in the sound of pipa, dispelling the exhaustion from the long journey. The most knowledgeable aspect of this Su style garden hotel for business people is never the ancient style decorations piled up, but rather its ability to accommodate all the details that affect efficiency in advance, and even leave you with a unique slow time in Gusu during rush hour. In the future, when I come to Suzhou for business trips, I will definitely use this place as a fixed foothold.Show more
