Somerset Baitang Suzhou

Lovely spacious room, good bed with excellent pillows. Having had a recent knee op loved the bath which helped ese the knee pain. Washer/dryer quiet and efficient. Well equipped kitchenette though we only used it for tea/coffee. Nice view. Good breakfast with a choice of hot food every day. Mainly Chinese of course but you could put together a western breakfast if you wanted, Decent gym for a hotel. Had all it needed for my rehab. Coffee shop with good coffee and rooftop garden. Convenience store open long hours (24hr maybe) right next door. Some restaurants within walking distance. Some were closed as we stayed at Chinese New Year, Metro a short walk. Nice park with Arboretum close by.

Helpfull staffs, they can speak English. Room is very beautiful, spacious and full of modern furnitures, love the washing machine (with dryer function). Fantastic location, Metro is 100m nearby. A lot of malls in a range of 1, 2 stations. There are FamilyMart, seafood restaurant nearby (Baiyan), which you can choose seafood by yourself in 1st floor supermarket & bring to 3rd floor for processing (go to 3rd floor first to get ticket number).

The bed was very large and comfortable with high quality linen and pillows. The room had a washer dryer machine with washing powder supplied so you can wash your own clothes. There is a convenience store just outside the hotel and Nanshijie metro station is only 150 metres walk from the hotel so there is good travel options from the hotel. The hotel is only a 5 minute taxi from SIP railway station which is a very easy to use train station.

I had a problem with the in room washing machine. The maintenance guy came up straight away. The issue couldn't be fixed, but within 30 minutes a new machine was put in place. Great service.

Everything goods as usual, my only question of the Baitang is the quality of the breakfast compared to other Somerset hotels I have stayed in in Asia recently.
