Palace Lan Resort

The hotel is conveniently located close to Yangcheng lake, which makes it a good base for exploring the area. The room is huge and clean. There are also sufficient power points to charge our devices, which is a plus point. The breakfast has a good selection of asian and western food.

I stayed here on a business trip to Suzhou. The room was very big, modern and very comfortable. The air-conditioning worked well as did the shower (two important things to me)! The hotel is very nice looking and very spacious. The view of the lake and the green areas is very nice as well. Everything was very clean and well maintained. I thought the service at the front desk was just average. This is more of a Chinese hotel than an International hotel. Not much English was spoken. The restaurant was good but not great. There was a wide variety of food but the quality was average - clean and good - but nothing special. Never saw any of the famous Lake Yangcheng hairy crabs on the menu - but maybe I was there the wrong day. Probably the worst part of this hotel is the location - it is far from the main attractions in downtown Suzhou and not in the main tourist part of town. For business at the SIP business park - it is well situated.

Weekend getaway with the family. Big and nice hotel. The entrance lobby gives you a feeling that you are away in some tropical paradise with the typical signature of big pitch roofs. Its good to bring the kids as there are goats and rabbits in the compound which the kids can feed to albiet being in their cages and tied to a tree. Overall just a lazy weekend to spend, using the pool or gym, going to the spa massage which was not bad. The service wasn't bad either. Location was easy to find, situated by Yang Cheng Lake famous for its hairy crabs!
