4-Star Hotels in Changxing

I didn't have high hopes before booking because there are so many misleading photos online 😔 But after checking in, I found it was definitely worth the price. First of all, unlike typical guesthouses, it's more like a manor hotel. Driving in, I was immediately struck by the stunning garden view. The room's decor and materials were also very thoughtful, cleaner and more refined than typical guesthouses, with no unpleasant smells. The service was excellent; if I contacted the manager on WeChat, they would respond immediately without even asking for a review. The best part was that they didn't raise prices during the National Day holiday. The hotel food was also delicious, and the ingredients tasted organic. I even packed a jar of tasty dried radish to take home before leaving ☺️

This is a place where we intentionally come for. Since my husband was so fond of Tang Dynasty related things, he just search anything related to it. Then this Tang inspired hotel catches his eyes. It was located a bit far from the city proper, we came along from Shanghai straight to Changxing through high speed train then ride Didi to this Changxing Datang Gong Cha Vipusea Hotel （长兴大唐恒力酒店）, located near mountainside, due to its location in Gong Cha - the famous tea plantation. Just at the back of this hotel there's a well-known area called as Datang Shi Er Fang (大唐十二坊）and the Changxing Da Tang GongCha Tea Museum. This hotel itself has a lot of room styles. At first we book for the Guipu Courtyard Family Suite, just to see the interior, the design is intended for a family with small kids, there's a separation tatami area where you can relax, watch TV, and a small Teepee for kids to explore. For our 2nd day, we try for their Guipu Garden View Double bedroom, the room a bit smaller but already good enough for 2 persons. During our stay, we were assisted by 小宋。He was so helpful all through out during the 3 days 2 nights. The restaurant staffs are all very well rounded. Overall this hotel is worth visiting.

The environment at Kaiyuan Hotel is absolutely beautiful. Most of their locations are uniquely chosen, like this one with the picturesque Xian Mountain Lake nearby. The rooms are spacious and bright, spotlessly clean, and the bedding is soft and comfortable, guaranteeing a high-quality night's sleep. The service is particularly noteworthy; the front desk staff and guest relations officers are warm and attentive, and all the employees offer service with a smile, showing care in every detail. Breakfast is especially abundant, with delicious hotel-specialty snacks like handmade spinach noodles. Overall, it offers great value for money. It's an excellent choice for both family vacations and business trips. I'll definitely come back again.

The hotel is relatively new, and the decoration level in the room is slightly lower than that of the hotel's appearance. There is only one washing machine and one dryer in the laundry room, which is totally unable to meet the needs. The dryer was very slow and a pair of pants didn't dry even after 3 hours of drying.

Facilities: The room is relatively large, the bed and washing area are relatively large, there is a balcony, the balcony has screen windows to prevent insects, some shops are opened around, there are also food at night, charging is also very convenient, the air conditioner is a bit noisy Service: Breakfast is OK, there are some freshly fried dishes, the service is also online, the air conditioner is noisy and gave a small snack Environment: The surrounding environment is very good

The experience of two days is very good, the hard work beauty boss. The coffee was delicious and the breakfast was very good. The yard is beautifully designed and the facilities are complete. The pool was very clean and the dolls had a great time.

When visiting Zhejiang and Shanghai, a staycation is an unmissable travel experience. This time, I chose the Laiye Twelve Beasts Designer Homestay in Heping Town, Wuxing District, Huzhou. The entire homestay is nestled among tea gardens surrounded by mountains, with a strong sense of design. There are 12 rooms on 3 floors, each named after a Chinese zodiac animal. Each room has a different style, with some offering tranquil views of vegetation by the window and others offering views of green tea mountains. Each room has its own unique charm. This time, my family and I experienced the rat, sheep, ox, and dog staycations. Each staycation gave me a different feeling. The homestay's own sika deer was the children's favorite, and there was also a silver shaded dog named Zongzi that was very friendly to the guests.

The room was very clean, the front desk lady was very good, and the son's puzzle toys were also sent. The location of the hotel was also very convenient. The breakfast was rich. The dishes in the hotel's own local restaurant were also delicious. The son said that he must give five-star praise!

My child was attending summer camp, so I stayed here with him for one night. The room was quite good for the price, especially for a hotel room for summer campers. The bed was huge, the view was great, and the kids were very happy (Figures 2 and 3). My room was a special offer, smaller than theirs, but perfectly adequate. As for service, you can't expect the same level of service as a star-rated hotel. My child woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and suddenly realized their door card was missing (actually, the teacher in charge had taken it). I called the front desk, but the receptionist, perhaps young and inexperienced, told them to go to the first floor to get a replacement. So, in the middle of the night (according to the children, 2 a.m.), a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old left their room to get a replacement. Without their key cards, their elevator press didn't work, so they went down from the 17th floor. When they reached the 3rd floor, they were terrified to find it was pitch black. They returned to the 4th floor, where the public elevator finally stopped requiring a key card, and they were able to retrieve their replacement. Looking back on the entire situation, the child's failure to seek help from family and teachers was undoubtedly a contributing factor, but the front desk's response of ”come down and get a new card” was certainly ill-considered. As staff, they should have known that a card was required to access the elevator, creating a vicious cycle. Furthermore, given the room number, they should have known it was a child from summer camp. With no adults in the room, their execution of instructions was completely out of their control. Since the hotel hosted a summer camp, with so many children and so many unexpected situations every day, we adults had to be more proactive; after all, no one wants anything to go wrong. After returning, the child would say, ”The service here is much better than at Hongyun” every time they dined at a different restaurant. Upon questioning, there wasn't anything truly sinister about it; perhaps they were simply unfriendly.

It's a decent old four-star hotel. Although the facilities are a bit old, the stay experience is okay. I will stay there next time.
