Hangzhou Lanka Boutique Hotel (Xihu District Gudang Subway Station)

The hotel was fine. Simple to get to from the metro. Not a lot of places to eat at around there but easy enough to get to the metro to somewhere to eat. The breakfast was not worth it. They had no bread left at 8:30 when I got there. The attendant brought some out after I asked but when I went to butter my toast they didn’t have any knifes. They only had forks, spoons and chopsticks and when I asked the attendant said they don’t have any which is weird because the breakfast is served in the restaurant next to the hotel. The room could use a new curtain as well it had holes in it and let the light in when the sun came up.

The hotel is near to the metro station, and is very quite. But the entire outlook of hotel is nothing like the video shown, so don’t be fooled by the promotion video. For the hotel facilities, although it is told that the hotel has a gym room and laundry room, actually there is only 3 exercise machines( running trail, cycling) and 2 washing machines, both in the same room. The check in procedure is a bit slow and there is no views outside of the window, only a plant which is dying. The hotel is completely overrated, the sound proofing is so bad that I can hear upstairs flushing toilet and next door chatting, people shutting their doors.

I stayed here for a few nights and was very impressed! The rooms are gorgeous, clean and the staff are friendly.
