MEILUO NOMADLAND WELLNESS RETREAT

I found this hotel by chance after learning that the one where I was originally wanting to book was sold out for my dates. I guess it was luck, because this place is so beautiful and calming. The pictures do not lie! I booked one of their top floor rooms, but I didn't realize that I would be navigating a short but steep step of winding stairs to access it. (Elevators are between the 1st and 2nd floor guest rooms only.) Even as a relatively able person, I still took my time going up and down the steps. The room itself is nothing short of amazing; in addition to the outdoor private tub on the patio, there's also a tea "alcove," and also a king-sized bed in a sparsely- but chicly furnished main room. It's a pity I stayed for only two days, and I didn't have the chance to explore their offerings of a sound bath, etc. The staff also brought up some kind of soup concoction on the first night, which was very kind! Breakfast is included, but guest have to go to the building across the path, and take the elevator to the 2nd floor. I tried only the Western breakfast; maybe the Chinese breakfast is more hearty. Tip #1: When ordering a DiDi or taxi, drop your pin at the hotel's precise location, and not just at the security check at the main entrance. From reading other reviews, I thought that cars not belonging to guest couldn't get in, so I ended up walking with heavy luggage to get to the entrance of the hotel. Fortunately, when I left, I was able to get the DiDi to the hotel parking lot. Tip #2: Staff possess varying degrees of English levels, but I'd still recommend this place if (like me) you don't speak any Chinese. Make sure to add WeChat and add the hotel's account as a friend; this is the fastest way to contact them during your stay. Staff and I communicated via this method, as well as interpretation apps (Google Translate on my end). Tip #3: Humble Administrator's Garden is about a 20-25 mn walk south. The closest "scenic area" is along the Grand Canal, which just over the wall north of the hotel. You'll likely need to take the bus (download Amap) and/or take a DiDi to get to different places.

This hotel is a real gem. The location is fantastic - very close to key tourist locations in Suzhou, plus transportation/pick up to and from tourist sites is provided. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, and special shoutout to our driver who was really knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting local history and tips. My partner also really enjoyed the music therapy session which was very relaxing. What we loved the most was the atmosphere and interior decoration - if you’re looking for tranquility and immersing yourself in the beauty of traditional architecture/design from this region, this place definitely checks the box. It also has a private garden with very interesting shops, restaurants and cafes. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and look forward to staying here again in the future!

Poor service。taxi could not get into the front of hotel. No security guy to open the gate - we have to wait for some worker to throw garbage and get her to open the boom gate for us - and need to work 150m to the entrance of hotel. At 8pm, only one staff working in the hotel.

Wonderful location! Very zen style!

酒店服務很貼心，軟件和硬件都不錯，環境超棒，住在園林裏的感覺，不愧是療愈酒店。前台小哥哥有求必應，服務到位。特別表揚酒店的兩位司機師傅，服務太貼心了，一路給我們講解蘇州特色，還提醒我們出門注意事項，真是很貼心～

非常滿意的一次入住體驗，酒店就在城牆邊上，裝修古樸典雅。離拙政園和平江路景區非常近，鬧中取靜。而且酒店還有短途的接送服務，雖然其實自己走走過去也沒多遠。 酒店的早餐也非常好，中西合併，出品都非常不錯，爆魚麪感覺比景區店裡做的還好吃😋 這次去剛好趕上生日，非常驚喜的是酒店後廚送的他們自己做的生日蛋糕，真的非常好吃，蛋糕胚濕濕的用料十足，我們幾個人是吃飽了回酒店了，愣是把蛋糕給吃完了😀實在太好吃了
