Shaoxing Hotels with Rooftop Pools

"Taking advantage of spring's arrival in Jiangnan, I came to experience the unique charm of a Jiangnan water town. Before arriving, I was already looking forward to immersing myself in the special atmosphere of these towns, and choosing Keqiao was definitely the right decision, as was selecting Youchao Hotel. The town at night is beautiful, and the hotel is right by the small river, truly evoking the feeling of 'small bridges, flowing water, and homes'. Walking on the cobblestone paths, I felt like I was part of the town. After a tiring day of exploring, I returned to the hotel for a special cocktail. In my slightly tipsy state, my affection for the town grew even more. The hotel itself is also stunning, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window showcasing many plants that blend seamlessly with the hotel's Chinese-style decor. The service is excellent too; after I requested something, they responded very quickly. This money was truly well spent!"

"How to put this... it was my first time trying a Xiangye Ersheng hotel, and if it's considered the top boutique B&B in Shaoxing, I'm a little disappointed. Firstly, the hotel staff were all very enthusiastic and welcoming. They contacted me in advance, added me on WeChat, and informed me of important details and activity bookings. The mini-program for bookings had some bugs and wasn't very user-friendly. Once on-site, I felt that apart from the hot spring, other activities didn't really need pre-booking. We brought back some food from the city center for lunch, and the staff thoughtfully heated it up and brought it to our room in the evening. However, during a fully booked weekend, I really felt that the staff might have been overwhelmed. It seemed like they were busy at the front desk one moment, then in the restaurant, then the kitchen, etc. Perhaps there weren't enough staff during the holiday season. At breakfast, there was also a shortage of tableware (plates, cups), likely because they were too busy to wash them in time. The food portions were decent, and the overall taste was on the lighter side. My worst experience was that several areas of the B&B were undergoing renovations during our stay. I can understand renovations during weekdays when there are fewer people, but having construction work during the day on a fully booked weekend, with loud drilling noises audible from the room and while walking by the stream outside, was a really poor experience. This is why I can only give three stars for environment and facilities. (After I mentioned the drilling noise near our room shortly after checking in, the staff did address it, and it changed to quieter tapping sounds, but the drilling started again the next day.) Finally, the B&B is pet-friendly, and I imagine many people choose it for that reason, bringing their pets along for a vacation. The area being renovated in front of our room was reportedly a dedicated washing area for pets. However, if you're not particularly fond of small animals, you might want to reconsider booking. We encountered many small dogs during our two-day, one-night stay, and sometimes dogs can be noisy. Some might even get off-leash and get excited, so if you're sensitive to that, you should think carefully. I hope to experience a different Xiangye Ersheng next time."

"Passing through Shaoxing, I booked the Yunhe Yebo Hotel. To my surprise, when I parked, I found the hotel is actually located within Jinghu Park, offering an excellent environment. The room was quiet and clean, and the shower was comfortable. The front desk staff, the shuttle bus driver, and the restaurant staff all had great attitudes. Upon check-in, we received complimentary welcome fruit, and before leaving, they even prepared a gift, which was a delightful surprise. The hotel restaurant's food was very substantial, and breakfast was abundant and nutritious. I tried the handmade wontons and rice noodles—highly recommend them! The stir-fried dishes are also recommended! The value for money far exceeded my expectations."

"What a pleasant surprise! This hotel is a hidden gem. It's tucked away and a bit hard to find, but their service is top-notch. They contacted us the day before, asking about our travel plans and if we were bringing elderly, children, or pets. Since we always travel with our furry friend, their pet-friendly policy was a huge deciding factor. The hotel is nestled within an old residential area, blending in perfectly without any sense of incongruity – it felt like discovering a new world in a bustling district. The surroundings are surprisingly quiet with low foot traffic. Even better, it's incredibly close to all the popular attractions, which meant we didn't have to trek far to enjoy the sights, while still having a peaceful retreat at the hotel. This was definitely the highlight for our family. The courtyard, with its charming bridges and flowing water, had a lovely spring-like vibe, perfect for artsy photos. After a long day of exploring, instead of going straight to our room, we relaxed by the pool, soaking up the sun – so serene and utterly relaxing. The room was spotlessly clean, and I loved the subtle, pleasant fragrance. The color scheme in the room was particularly appealing, both stylish and cozy. With the pool right outside the window and plenty of sunshine streaming in, it was incredibly comfortable. The breakfast was quite varied, featuring many local specialties. The 'yinggao' (rice cake) was absolutely delicious; I ate three pieces myself! The handmade 'xiaohuntun' (mini wontons) prepared by the auntie were also incredibly fresh and flavorful – you could tell the ingredients were top-quality. P.S. It was a bit busy during breakfast, and the wontons and pumpkin 'miangeda' (dough drops) were made fresh to order, which was a very thoughtful touch. Although they accidentally gave our bowl of miangeda to another guest, they quickly prepared a new one for us. We totally understand that mistakes happen sometimes, and we still really enjoyed it. We visit Shaoxing frequently and will definitely be back if we get the chance. We highly, highly recommend this hotel!"

"Very satisfied with my stay here, right inside Luzhen. You step out to quaint bridges and flowing water, and it's so peaceful to walk around early in the morning. The room was exquisite, and the butler was very responsive to any issues. The room smelled lovely, and the bathroom was spotless, even with a diffuser. Most importantly, the bar area allowed for brewing tea, and they provided disposable liners for the kettle, which felt very modern and hygienic. My only minor suggestion would be to add a handle to the bathtub for safety."

"There was a wedding over the weekend, so the main lobby area was under messy construction. What's worse, the hotel never informed me about this when I contacted the front desk before checking in, which really dampened my mood. After I reported it to Trip.com, a customer manager called me back. Their initial compensation offer was some complimentary experience activities (which I later found were already free in the group purchase package), so it felt insincere. They then offered to waive the pet cleaning fee. Only after checking in did I realize the group purchase package saved me over 600 RMB compared to direct booking, making their compensation offer still quite inadequate. Paying just over 1000 RMB for a stay versus over 2000 RMB certainly comes with different expectations for the experience. Aside from the high-voltage power lines which were a bit of an eyesore, the overall scenery was lovely, and the staff were excellent. Despite the lobby construction, I was generally quite satisfied."

"I recently checked in at this hotel in Shaoxing, and the experience was excellent! Walking into the room, the spacious layout was eye-catching, the room was clean and tidy, the area was large, and the bed and pillow was good, suit me. The hotel staff was warm and considerate, especially the front desk guy was very enthusiastic and responsive. The breakfast was delicious, the food was diverse, and both Chinese and Western styles were available. The food served in the Chinese restaurant was superb. The hotel facilities were brand new. The location of the hotel is also very good, adjacent to the subway station, whether it is to go to popular scenic spots or explore niche streets, it is easy and convenient. Highly recommended to friends who come to Shaoxing for travel or business!"

"Getting to the hotel from the highway was quite convenient. They kindly upgraded our room when they saw I was traveling with my child and elderly parents. While there were a few minor issues after check-in, the hotel handled them promptly. The private hot spring was available anytime, with a circulation system that kept the water at a constant temperature, which was great – my parents and child really enjoyed it. The hotel was redecorated in '25, so the rooms are quite clean. The package we booked also included a case of 20-year aged yellow wine, which made a nice gift to take home! They even prepared a small gift for us when we left – the service was absolutely top-notch! The hotel is also very close to the Orchid Pavilion scenic area, just a 15-minute drive, so we stopped by there the next day. It was a pleasant trip! We'll definitely come back if we have the chance! 😀"

"I brought my friends to Shaoxing and wanted to experience something cultural. So, I looked for a cultural place to stay, and that's when I found the Zhao Hua Xi Shi Hotel on Ctrip. I didn't hesitate for a second and booked it immediately! I loved the 'Following the Textbooks to Tour Shaoxing' Lu Xun's Hometown Night Tour, and I also really enjoyed the local Shaoxing cuisine right next to the hotel – it suited our taste perfectly. The hotel was quiet, clean, and the staff were all incredibly nice. We ended up extending our stay for another two nights without a second thought! 🥳"

"It's really a good deal to stay in this hotel during the off-season! My kids came from Shanghai after school on Friday, and we saw the most beautiful sunset in Nayuan. When you open the window in the room, you can see the super healing mountain view, which is very comfortable to look at with green all over. The room is very clean, the bedding is soft and comfortable, and there is nothing wrong with the details. The bathtub is by the window, and it's super comfortable to take a bath and look at the mountain view! There are also a lot of things to do in the hotel, such as the infinity pool and the indoor constant temperature pool, and the children have a lot of fun. There is also a bamboo bonfire in the evening, and it's very atmospheric to sit around and chat, and sing karaoke to your heart's content. The hotel also has many activities arranged, so you won't feel bored even if you don't go hiking. There are also some animal friends, which the two kids like very much. I had six meals in the Nayuan restaurant, and every dish was delicious. The meals are all self-produced fresh ingredients. I thought this configuration would be very expensive, but it turned out to be very cost-effective! This off-peak travel experience is great, there are few people and it's quiet, and I had a lot of fun. It's definitely worth coming again!"
