We have been staying at Somerset Baitang for already three times, and have been so impressed we keep coming back. The rooms are quiet, the beds very comfortable and the apartments spotlessly clean. The hotel is located close to the subway in SIP and travel to various locations in Suzhou Industrial Park or the old town is easy and convenient. The hotel has a nice buffet breakfast and is located next to a large nice park and opposite a shopping mall with several decent restaurants.The best feature of the Somerset Baitang is its staff. I cannot praise them enough as they found our younger daughter's favourite stuffed animal after she had forgotten it buried in the bedlinen.

First about the hotel, spacious 2 bedroom apartment, with daily housekeeping, comfortable beds and pillows as well as a washing machine and dryer with kitchen facilities. We were on the 20th floor which gives us a great view of the city.
Love the gym which is fully equipped as well as an adjoining yoga/pilates room, with big floor to ceiling windows, providing a great view to the outside.
Breakfast was very decent with a good variety of western and Asian food.
Minor complaint would be that there is no plug point in the bathroom for the hairdryer and without any mirrors in the bedrooms, it’s not easy to blow...
