The Real Deal on Pan Pacific Suzhou (Wu Palace) - My Unfiltered Review!
-
The facilities are admittedly old, and the service is really just average.
-
But for over 300 yuan, it's still quite a good deal.
-
Which room type is this, dear?
-
I got my room by 1 PM back then, and the AC was working fine too.
-
We ran into guests from another room in the elevator, and they were also saying their AC wasn't working.
-
The scenery is fantastic and the location is super convenient. I'm a Tongcheng member, so I got one day of free breakfast, which was great because I was planning to visit Xiyuan Temple for their vegetarian noodles anyway. The night view of Panmen Gate is stunning.
-
What room type is this?
-
We went during the National Day holiday, and it was 1600 a night.
-
Breakfast is on the first floor.
-
Once I got there, I realized it wasn't as bad as the online reviews made it out to be.
-
This AC just made noise, no heat. The bathtub faucet water was either scalding hot or freezing cold. On the plus side, apart from good value, they offer a free one-hour Hanfu and Qipao experience, plus an introduction to Suzhou's Panmen Gate and the hotel's history.
-
Yeah. The shower water was the same, either too icy or too hot.
-
The room facilities are too old and soundproofing is poor. The hotel's general environment is quite nice, but personally, I don't think it's worth its price.
-
Right. The hotel's public areas are great, but the rooms are really just average.
-
It's a hotel from the 90s; it used to be a Sheraton.
-
Oh, I see.
-
I paid 1500 for 2 nights, not cheap at all.
-
I booked it yesterday for nearly 900. After seeing a bunch of negative comments, I'm having second thoughts.
