For the low cost by Western standards, this hotel offers a clean, comfortable room in Hangzhou. As others have mentioned, it is a 15-minute walk from West Lake. If you're adventurous, there are plenty of local restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Check-in and out was easy but we had to leave a deposit of 2x our room rate for a... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights. It is a standard business hotel with Western style interior. The furnishing was in a good condition and the cleaning was actually much than the average for Chinese hotels (which can be quite appalling). We were a little surprised at first by the size of the room deposit, as we were only... More

The hotel is in a great location which is just about 15 min walking to the city center. And about 20-30min walking (if I had got the right direction) to hte most properous street - Qinghefang. Because I was a buget visitor so I thought walking in a distance to the street was fine. The view from the room was... More

Stood there just for one night, good place, friendly staff and elegant room. We were lucky to stay in a corner room, so with all curtains opened we could see the town at our feet, great sensation.

Very spacious and comfortable room, good location in the center, but not 'closed' to the lake. Friendly staff with poor English skills. Tasty food in the restaurant, but interior and waiters are so messy (extremely dirty clothes, nails...), that you don't want to think how the kitchen looks like. However no food poisoned even if eating there two lunches (only... More

We knew this hotel wasn't near the lake, but thought there's be more eating options "in town" than by the lake - turns out that probably wasn't a good assumption! In my mind I'd imagined that there'd just be a handful of overpriced tourist trap restaurants near the lake, which was also not a correct. In hindsight, I'd probably stay... More

Not great for Westerners as few people spoke English at times (depends who was on the shift). The room was quite large and very comfortable. The location is not near the lake and finding decent food that is recognizable was not easy. The staff are very nice and try their best to help, but if the English speaking crew is... More

really nice clean rooms. good shower area good service. about 10mints cab ride from Westlake we traveled during the Moon festival and it was highly over priced we ended up paying around 600rmb a night. So not really worth the money do not stay at this hotel during peak seasons, they will rip you off otherwise recommended

This is a very large hotel located on a busy street. However, it is a 15 min. walk to the lake. This is not a tourist part of the city and the hotel is short on services, like a pool, that one would expect. The room was slightly larger than expected. There is only one large restauarnt with only so... More

Even though this hotel is on a busy street, the walk to beautiful West Lake doesn't take long. The bedroom is a reasonable size, but the bathroom is quite small. The carpet looked worn in spots and the room needs spiffing up. However, the bed is comfortable. The A/C control is confusing and I had to ask someone from the... More
