Romantic Hotels in Ningbo

I bought hotel vouchers for the Kaiyuan chain during a Trip.com livestream. I had vouchers for both Ningbo Jiulong Lake Kaiyuan Resort and Ningbo Shiqifang Kaiyuan Guan Tang, so I decided to visit both. Honestly, when it comes to the hotels themselves, I actually preferred Shiqifang Kaiyuan Guan Tang. It had an authentic, old-school charm, and even the breakfast was unique and delicious. My only complaint, and it's more than a complaint – I'm almost ready to file a formal complaint – is about the security guard at the entrance. Zhenhai District is already a bit out of the way in Ningbo, so most people drive or take ride-sharing services. One time, I called a ride-share to go to Shan Hai Jiulong Yuan. The guard just wouldn't open the gate, making the car reverse and try again five times, and it still didn't work. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and asked him, ”Could you please open the gate manually for us?” It was only a two-meter distance, but it took him half a minute to walk over. Is that slow, unhurried pace the kind of attitude you should have at work? I stayed for two days and took a taxi six times, and not once was it smooth sailing. For a mere one or two meters, he was so slow and hesitant, or he'd make the car back up and try again. Such a great place with such terrible security! Sigh.

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~

This hotel boasts an excellent location, just a 3-minute walk from Gulou subway station, and close to both Tianyi Square and Chenghuang Temple, making it super convenient for getting around. The lobby offers complimentary coffee and ice cream, along with fun little activities like guessing lantern riddles. The service was warm and attentive, making for a pleasant experience.

If you're on a business trip or traveling to Ningbo Southern Business District, I highly recommend this hotel! The location is truly impeccable. It's less than 200 meters from the train station to the subway, and downstairs you'll find the core commercial area of the Southern Business District and the Water Street. Every evening at 7 PM, there's a timed musical fountain, creating a fantastic ambiance. The surrounding amenities are excellent. There are numerous coffee shops like Starbucks and Manner, making it convenient to grab a coffee if you're on a business trip. A convenience store is just downstairs, making it hassle-free to pick up daily essentials. In the sunken plaza on the basement level, there's a Yizhierhu Cafe, and their camellia latte is quite unique and worth trying. Right next door is BaWangChaJi, where you can even get the Zhejiang-exclusive 'Fenghao Yingyue' tea. Various dining options are within walking distance, offering a wide range of food, drink, and entertainment choices. The rooms come with windows and a balcony, offering panoramic views of the entire Water Street. The daytime views are expansive, and the night view is even more stunning. The room is clean, tidy, and fully equipped with facilities. Food deliveries are supported by robots that bring them directly to your door, which is smart and efficient. The hotel lobby also has service robots, and the staff are warm and attentive. Subway travel is incredibly convenient. In about half an hour, you can reach popular Ningbo spots like Chenghuang Temple, the Old Bund, and Haiyan North Road directly. Whether for business or a short leisure trip, transportation is very smooth. I always prioritize staying here whenever I'm on a business trip to the Southern Business District. The overall value for money is excellent. Staying here for business or travel means you can handle dining, transportation, and sightseeing all in one place. It's a very comfortable choice for a stay.

Choosing this resort for a family vacation with kids was definitely the right decision. The hotel is surrounded by lush greenery, making the air incredibly fresh. The dense vegetation around feels like a giant oxygen bar, perfect for strolls and letting the kids run around. This natural environment is super family-friendly; the kids have a blast, and the adults can relax too. It’s a perfect experience! 👍

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.

I wholeheartedly recommend Crowne Plaza NINGBO XIANGSHAN SEA VIEW by IHG. My vacation stay here was fantastic, a perfect 10/10! The value for money exceeded my expectations. Although the hotel has been open for some years, the facilities are very well-maintained and don't feel old or outdated. The guest rooms are meticulously cleaned, and the public areas are tidy and fresh. The staff are warm and friendly; check-in was smooth, and requests were handled promptly. The buffet breakfast offers a wide selection and tastes great. A special thank you to Guest Services JOE for their attentive and considerate service, always going above and beyond. I will definitely choose Crowne Plaza NINGBO XIANGSHAN SEA VIEW by IHG again for my next vacation in Xiangshan!

The hotel has a wonderfully peaceful environment and offers a full range of facilities, so you could easily stay for several days. There's a soft play area, a children's playground, a koi pond, and lots of grassy areas. The butler service was incredibly warm and attentive, and all the staff were very welcoming. Overall, a fantastic stay! The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options, and the in-room mini-bar was well-stocked with a great selection of complimentary drinks and snacks. We were also given a late check-out, which was much appreciated 😊

The room types of the homestay are all kinds. This time I lived in a separate yard with a large duplex space. The homestay itself is very playable, with swimming pools, upside-down houses, swings, etc.; the stream in the ancient village next to it is very clear, and it is a little way from drifting. The housekeeper is very enthusiastic and overall good.

It was my first time to book a B&B, and I was moved by the enthusiasm and simplicity of the owner, Xiao Wu and the aunts! We checked in very late, and Xiao Wu came out to pick us up. It happened to be New Year's Eve, so a bonfire was lit in front of the B&B. The owner also provided us with luminous pearls, fairy sticks and other fireworks to play with. The rice cake slices in the store are really delicious hahahahaha! We had a wonderful New Year's Eve with other guests, making fire, watching movies, and setting off fireworks! Overall, I feel like this B&B is very good, and it might be more interesting in summer! Thank you to the owner and all the staff in the store and we look forward to seeing you again!
