Cheery Canal Hotel Hangzhou

I've been traveling for business recently and always stay at hotels in this price range in Hangzhou. This is the only one that made me extremely uncomfortable. 1️⃣ As soon as I entered the room, there was a musty smell. Opening the window to air it out didn't help, and by morning the smell was so strong it made me feel nauseous. 2️⃣ The sink and bedside tables clearly showed their age, with water stains and damage. It was a bit hard to accept. 3️⃣ The soundproofing in the room was practically non-existent. Around 9 AM, I could hear every word spoken by guests in the hallway and the cleaning staff. My experience was really bad; I didn't get any sleep at all. This hotel has a good location, so why are the basic facilities so poor? The staff's service and attitude were quite good, and I don't want this negative review to affect them; I'm just sharing my personal experience.

A hidden gem of a hotel, exceeding all expectations! The location is fantastic, right next to my favorite Jiangnan Yi restaurant. The environment is beautiful, with the peaceful and charming ancient canal and temple nearby. I was a bit worried the room might be small, but the clever design and layout made it feel spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was also excellent, with a great variety and delicious flavors – you can tell they put a lot of effort into it. The service was attentive, responsible, polite, and professional.

This hotel is right next to Xiangji Temple, making it quite convenient to reach by subway or taxi. The back entrance leads directly to the Dadou Road Historical and Cultural District. The hotel itself is a converted old factory, giving it a strong historical vibe and making it great for photos. The overall cleanliness is very good. While the hotel grounds are open to the public, the guest room areas are secured with key card access, which makes it feel safe. The mini-bar has a good selection of drinks, and all the staff are very enthusiastic. You can easily use the hotel as a base to explore the Gongchen Bridge Scenic Area and Xiaochehe Street, which had a wonderful atmosphere during the New Year period!

The 177th hotel we've visited with our little one. This hotel is a fantastic renovation of a national silk factory warehouse from 1951. You'll find silk art pieces and canal-themed elements everywhere, giving it a rich, intangible cultural heritage feel that perfectly blends historical charm with modern comfort. At night, the jellyfish-like lights in the lobby corridor add a dreamy touch. The hotel is conveniently located right next to Dadou Road Historical Block, and Xiangji Temple is just a 5-minute walk away, making it super friendly for getting around. Our room was warm with bright lighting and even had a calligraphy set. The mini-bar was generously stocked with a variety of drinks and snacks. Just two small suggestions: 1. I still miss having a smart toilet a bit, haha. 2. It would be helpful to add more signs. We had to search for a while to find the parking lot, front desk, and even our room.

The rooms are very unique, and the hotel's location is excellent, right by the canal.

Located at No. 7 Lishui Road in Gongshu District, this hotel is conveniently situated next to Xiangji Temple, making it easy to get around and explore. The hotel itself is a remarkable conversion of 11 former national silk warehouse buildings. It beautifully preserves the architectural style of the ancient canal shipping and storage complex while integrating modern design elements, giving it a distinctive and stylish character.
