It is within walking distance of the Hash Pub and the meeting point of the weekend Hashes. If anyone would like another hotel recommendation (more luxurious or cheaper than the recommended one below), please contact us and we can provide recommendations of hotels that meet your needs.
Hash Hotel:
Traditional Jiangnan Beauty Hotel located just off of Suzhou Shiquan Jie Bar Street. Check-in for the Oktoberfest Weekend Hash is from October 1st with check-out on the 4th. The hotel is family-owned by two fluent English speakers. It is newly renovated in traditional classical Chinese style. All rooms are clean and air-conditioned with private bath. The hotel is located off of the main Bar Street strip, so is quieter than those hotels located directly on Bar Street.  Visit the website www.yishuilanting.com
