Aster Suzhou

Hotel with fairly anonymous decor and lobby Room quite spacious and clean apart from the carpet that acts as a dirt collector, there is a desk, 2 chairs and a mini bar. Unfortunately there is space to place only one suitcase. Quite spacious and comfortable bed TV with channels almost exclusively in Chinese as in almost all hotels in China Hotel WIFI almost unusable without a VPN but this is common to all hotels in China Sufficient room lighting Clean and renovated bathroom compared to the room, bathtub with curtain (unfortunately) View from the room on the city which at sunset is not bad An important feature of the hotel is the restaurant on the top floor which rotates and offers a 360 degree view of the city. The food is also good with a large choice of meat and fish Rooms rating 6.5 Bathroom rating 6.5 Cleanliness rating 6 Position 6 Overall rating 6

We got a bit tired of the standard set meals during our guided tour in China. All tasted well but always more/less the same. So breakfasts actually gave the most interesting culinary experiences.Especially so at Grand Trustel Astor in their circular top floor restaurant! A grand assortment of interesting tastes probably because the kitchen focuses more on Chinese customers than on foreign tourists.

Very nice hotel with friendly staff. Bit tired looking but clean and well managed. Large room with firm bed. Breakfast good mix of East and West. WiFi weak but standard in Chinese hotels. No google or Facebook available. Not a great deal to do in neighbourhood however after a day touring the revolving restaurant on top floor is brilliant value for money. Large selection of foods, order small steaks, lamb chops, pizza and all type of Chinese food, plus beer on tap! All supported by smiling staff. Yes decor is again tired but again clean.
