Mountain View Hotels in Ningbo

After reserving, I received a courtesy call from the hotel, and we then connected on WeChat since I don’t speak Chinese. The hotel introduced me to Long, the housekeeper, who coordinated our entire stay with great care and attention. Before our arrival, they asked if we had any special requests. As my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary, I asked them to decorate the room with flowers—and they did a beautiful job. They also asked about our dinner and breakfast preferences and were impressively organized in their preparations. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, but our taxi had trouble locating the hotel. I called Long, and he immediately came out to meet us—a huge help! When we checked in, they welcomed us with refreshments and even surprised us with a complimentary room upgrade. The room had a bathtub, which our three-year-old son especially loved. To our delight, they had thoughtfully prepared a child’s hygiene kit for him, including kid-friendly soap, shampoo, and a dental kit. We also received a handwritten note, a fresh fruit bowl, and a lovely bouquet of flowers. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, spotless, and very tastefully decorated. There’s a small indoor play area for children, including a slide, tent, and games—our son played there every day. We also enjoyed strolling around the grounds and spending time at the scenic swimming pool, which is nestled in the mountains. The food was another highlight: we had a delicious Chinese dinner and a traditional Chinese breakfast, both full of flavor. Throughout our stay, Long was incredibly helpful and made our trip truly special. Thank you, Long! I highly recommend Lost Villa. They have other locations as well, and we’re definitely looking forward to staying with them again.

Visiting this hotel was one of the best parts of traveling to this area! We really enjoyed location , room and SERVICE. Despite the fact that we couldn’t take a breakfast because of early morning train, the owners offered us to make us a pocket with food. It was really really cute!! The biggest advantage of this hotel is also no sounds except nature sounds and chickens. My mind got so relaxed!! I highly reckoned this hotel! If only I had an opportunity to put mark more than 10….. 10/10

A very clean, tidy and cost-effective B&B. The proprietress and her family are very straightforward. We avoided the peak period before National Day and the proprietress even upgraded our room! That’s great. The breakfast seafood noodles made by Auntie are also delicious, worth it!

The room was very spacious, and the sofa in the living room folded out into another bed, so all three of us slept very comfortably. There's a dedicated walk-in closet, which was convenient for hanging clothes, and the luggage rack greatly facilitated using our suitcases. We didn't get to use the private hot tub outside the room as we were always out, so I can't comment on it. The window on the hot tub's wall is open-worked with plants outside, so mosquitoes and other insects might fly in. Be sure to keep the balcony door closed. There are two bathrooms in total. The shower room is inside the bedroom and is quite spacious, but you need to make sure the showerhead is pointed towards the inner wall, or water might spill out. The room lighting was very bright, and so were the bathrooms. The fruit provided by the hotel was also very fresh. Hotel staff were polite and always smiled, greeted, and checked in with us whenever we encountered them. The breakfast buffet offered a rich selection, especially great for those who enjoy Chinese breakfast. The steamed buns and flatbreads were made fresh on the spot; the pork buns were delicious, and the auntie making them was very enthusiastic. There was also a live station for noodles and wontons. Western options, apart from bread and cakes, were a bit weak, which suggests the hotel mainly caters to Chinese guests. The location along Dongqian Lake is convenient for getting in and out, and parking is also easy with a dedicated attendant. The manager overseeing it is very responsible; we saw him diligently working every day. Overall, I feel this hotel is diligently managed and operated, making for a reassuring and comfortable stay.

The service was great, and the free parking was a nice bonus, especially with the complimentary bottled water. It's super convenient for getting to Lianglong Town in Siming Mountain and the highway. Getting to Yangming urban area is easy too.

It’s a B&B that people like at first glance (at least that’s what I think). Whether it’s the facilities in the room or the scenery at the door (right next to the Qixiakeng Ancient Road), I think this visit is worth it! The food is also very delicious. My child didn’t even take a few bites of the food he ordered from a small restaurant near Xikou last year. It was not to his liking and it was also noisy. Unexpectedly, the chopsticks didn’t stop today, which means it’s very delicious and indeed in line with our taste. , How can taro be so pink and waxy! Delicious! We are already discussing how to come and stay for a few days during the summer vacation. In summer, we can play in the small stream in front of our house! Walking around the ancient village in the evening has a beautiful artistic conception! Anyway, it’s a comfortable stay and a comfortable environment. Get up and go hiking on the Qixiakeng Ancient Trail after breakfast tomorrow, which is the perfect end to this two-day and one-night short trip! Goodbye in the summer~

The location of the B&B is very good. It is a renovation of an old house. The proprietress is very welcoming. She waited at the gate in advance and helped with the luggage. She treated us like relatives visiting during the Chinese New Year. It felt like home. It is best to stay overnight in the ancient town. It is especially good to visit in the morning and evening.

We chose this hotel for a rafting and summer getaway. It's quite remote, a drive of several kilometers up a mountain road after entering the ancient village. The entire route is very natural; if it weren't for the hotel's signs, we almost would have turned back. After about ten minutes of driving, the view suddenly opened up, and a large wooden house served as the hotel lobby. Each guest room is scattered throughout the mountainside, connected by wooden boardwalks. Along the paths, we saw lizards, squirrels, and various insects, and occasionally even water snakes in the pools. In the evenings, we listened to the chirping of insects, and in the mornings, the calls of birds – truly a unique natural experience. In the stream next to the lobby, there were schools of small fish, and my son got hooked on fishing and actually caught quite a few. The only minor drawback is that the hotel facilities are a bit outdated.

Choosing this hotel for our vacation in Xiangshan was absolutely worth it! The overall experience was perfect, and the value for money was outstanding. Our butler, Xiao Luo, was incredibly efficient and always helped us quickly with any issues. Although the hotel isn't brand new, the facilities are very well-maintained, and the rooms are spotless. The breakfast offered a great variety of delicious options, and the common areas were also very clean. We had a wonderfully comfortable stay at Crowne Plaza NINGBO XIANGSHAN SEA VIEW by IHG.

The overall experience was very nice, nothing to complain about it! Things to be mentioned for foreign visitors who might not be understood: the breakfast/dinner location is uphill, 15 minutes walk from the hotel, so if you don’t have a car it might be a little uncomfortable (shuttle is provided only in the evening). Another point is that the outdoor spa from the hotel and the shared pool can be accessed only once, therefore do all your things before entering to enjoy the longest. These are not critics, and are advices meant to create awareness for future travellers. Besides that, great experience! I would recommend!
