This was a very nice hotel in an excellent location, backing on to the West Lake. The room was in an annexe to the reception building, but it was a lovely room, very nicely furnished and very spacious. The lack of Wifi in the room was a nuisance, but there was free wifi in the lobby area. There are a... More

This hotel is pleasantly located right next to West Lake, allowing us to stroll around with ease. Rooms are clean and comfortable. We stayed on 4th floor so were not disturbed by any noise or mosquitoes. Staff at the conciege was helpful and very nice to spend ~20 mins to tell us what's best to do to explore West Lake... More

This hotel is on the waters edge of the West Lake with views across to the hills opposite as well as the city skyline. You can step out of the hotel and go for long walks along the lakeside paths and stop off at the pagoda and parklands. If the weather, mist and unfortunate city pollution cooperate the views are...

No TV channels in English, good thing I was not there for TV anyway. For some strange reason they decided that condoms were a necessary nightstand item? This is a... More

Dahua Hotel has since year 2000 been my favourite hotel in China. After a long day of business meetings in Hangzhou I feel like coming home. The staff take good care of their guests, and for some reason they have always given me the same room, "my room", in the second floor facing West Lake. No traffic to be heard,... More

We just returned from a 4 night stay at this hotel. We loved it. The location is superb, being right by the lake, not even across the street from the lake, as with Hyatt. We had a family room, like a junior suite. Our room although has a traditional Chinese decor, it is actually quite modern. The bathroom was spacious,... More

This is a very beautiful hotel indeed, especially if you like Oriental-style decor and furnishings. I can sense the history of this place, and the location literally on the bank of the West Lake and very near the Xihu Tiandi just adds more panache to this hotel. Sadly though, the facilities are getting a bit wanting. Perhaps the age of... More
