Wonderful family run inn in the heart of Tongli. Parts of the inn are over a hundred years old, stay in history! The rooms are spacious and clean. The bathroom is modern. The location is unmatched. Right in the heart of Tongli Ancient Water Town, where the Three Bridges are. Close to all the main sites. Go to Pearl Tower during the day and Tuisi Garden at sunset/dusk when the lights turn own. You will see wonderful Suzhou style gardens in two ways on the same day. Staying overnight helps you avoid the day trippers at the front and back ends of the day. The whole place is so lovely without the crowds. You get to see how the locals live in Tongli, as it still has a real functioning town (as opposed to a sanitised tourist environment). They still wash clothes in the canal!

The host are very nice, they are fast responsive and communicative. The environment is very nice and comfy. You can definitely feel some relaxing atmosphere living along the river in an antique town and experience some local culture.

I don’t think there is a better location for tourists to stay in Tongli. It is right in front of the waterway, though don’t expect a canal view. Immediately outside the inn is a path that runs along the canal. Turning left or right brings you to wonderfully authentic picturesque old town sights, full of shops, cafes, restaurants and ancient mansions. The inn is in an authentic old house with quaint windows and views of old tiled roofs, but with modern equipment (including a remote controlled toilet!). Best communicate with the inn on how to get to it especially with luggage. Cars and buses are not allowed in the town. It seems there are 2 points for your transport to drop you then you need to make your way to the inn on foot or 3-wheeled scooters. The first drop off point is a 5 minute walk from the inn. But it’s all cobbled stone paths with arching bridges so unless you have backpacks and/or can carry your bags all the way, don’t attempt this. The second drop off point is at the tourist centre just outside town along a major road. The inn will arrange a 3-wheeled scooter to collect you with your luggage.

The location is great. The hotel is at the most shady area along the river in TongLi, which makes it pleasant in hot summer. Directly outside the gate is the river with many trees. One can take a boat not far away. The garden is wonderful, small and elegant. There are many colourful fishes in the pond, and some beautiful tiny fishes in the water tank. The living room is big and nice: we often sit on the sofa while chatting with others, and we used the dinner table for one dinner with ordered delivery. Very very cozy living room. The password-locks at front gate and bedrooms are convenient to use. The front desk girl replied quickly to my questions, although she is not always familiar with the situation as she is new.

Location is excellent! It is central and located in the middle of Tongli. The furnishings are vintage. Although newly renovated, it preserves its traditional chinese design throughout the whole inn.

amazing. location was superb, you step right out onto views of the three bridges, restaurants everywhere nearby, very atmospheric. We loved it. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the place was spotless. The room we chose was a family room and they had books and some toys for kids too. very thoughtful.

I made the right decision to stay overnight and experience the romance of Tongli when most tourists have left. The hotel is right in the centre of the scenic area , next to the Three Bridges. The girl at the office was really great, friendly and very chatty. Gave us all needed information of both hotel, where to eat (I am vegan). The hotel is more like a home, lovely setting, nice small pond with fish. Bedroom had 2 very comfy double beds and big shower too.

Tongli watertown itself is very pretty which is why we decided to stay 1 night to enjoy its slowness from city life. Tongli 1917 Best South Inn is able to provide a good night stay being in the middle of the town. No problem walking around the quaint small town and finding good food.
