Inns in Zhejiang, China

They sent me the location in advance, and someone was there to pick me up when I arrived. Check-in was very quick, and someone helped me with my luggage. The breakfast was exquisite. Every little detail showed how much care the owners put into the place. The front is a bookstore, and the back is the accommodation. You step right out onto the old street, which is both quiet and convenient. The ancient city wall is beautiful.

This hotel is quite charming—it’s a large, old house that has been nicely converted into several hotel rooms. Our room was very comfortable. However, a heads-up regarding the bathroom: there was no door on the toilet area, and the shower was an all-glass enclosure. Since I was traveling with my husband, it wasn't an issue for us, but if you are traveling with friends, you might want to be aware of this lack of privacy. The location is excellent! It’s right next to the City Wall and super close to several great restaurants and cool bars. We also liked the service; the staff were quite attentive. One thing I found confusing, though, was that they didn't register my address as per the usual government standard for foreign guests, which most hotels in China follow. As for cleanliness, it was standard for China—there were a few stray hairs in parts of the room (usually women's hair), but I find this happens in practically any hotel here. Overall, it was a good stay!

This is a guesthouse in the Xizha Scenic Area. It's at the end of a narrow alley, so I couldn't find it on my own. But the staff at the hostel kindly called and asked for the hotel, and I was able to find it. The hotel staff were very friendly. The room has a lovely atmosphere, and it's perfect for exploring the ancient town late at night or early in the morning. The air conditioning was weak, so it was a little cold.

The B&B's location is super convenient and easy to find, very close to the scenic spots. The breakfast was also really rich and delicious. The environment is beautiful; I really love it here and will definitely come back again. Here, I witnessed the beautiful beginning of my love story with her, and I hope this place marks a wonderful start for us, where we can understand and cherish each other. We don't need grand gestures, just to walk hand-in-hand through life's small moments.

Super fun! This was one of the theme hotels that were hidden on the Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street set. Appropriately, the Rosslyn Hotels' brand icon is the Landlady from Kungfu Hustle. Upon arrival, you check in at the North Gate's Tourist Services Desk. The concierge welcomed me with a complimentary bag of fresh fruit and asking me to add their butler (Housekeeper Xiao Xiao) to my WeChat. If I needed anything, I just had to text the Housekeeper Xiao Xiao (who was super helpful with all my questions (in English) during my stay). Then the bellhop whisked me away, via golf cart, to my hotel. There were several hidden hotels, with different themes, throughout the set. The bellhop took me through an unassuming door among into what looked like an empty set, and up an elevator to the room floors. The walkway offered a lovely view of the Ming Qing Palace set next door. The rooms were supposed to be themed as Guangzhou and Hong Kong in the 70s and 80s, but could easily pass for old Shanghai. The room was immaculate. The bed was very comfortable, the shower has nice and hot and with fantastic water pressure. The room has some of the largest closet space that I have seen in any hotel. The WiFi worked without the need to register a local cellphone number (I've found that many other hotels, in China, offered free WiFi, but you need to verify with an ID code text to you. The texts never come through to my U.S. phone number, so I have never been able to take advantage of free WiFi; that is until I got to this hotel.) The little details were delightful surprises around every corner. They always refer to guests as ”laoshi” (an honorific of teacher, or master, bestowed to actors) or as ”starlet”. Not gonna lie, I really wanted to take home the pair of the room's bone china cups. The stay also comes with very decent breakfast buffet that had both Chinese and western dishes. They will even make you fresh wontons and noodle soups to order. The restaurants in the park are not great and quite expensive by China's standard. I recommend loading up at the more tasty free breakfast to power through the day. The hotel's location was very convenient for touring Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street; which had very lively evening shows. (As you walk through the streets, look at the stores' signs and test your TV shows and movie knowledge by finding the Easter eggs.) The Qing Ming Palace Set is across the street from the Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street's South Gateon the other side of the park (don't worry, it's not that far). To access the other sets, you can take their shuttle, but it does not come around very often. It's more efficient to get a Didi. Overall, it was a magical stay of being in the movies.

Finally, I stayed here on my own. I'd always booked for clients before, but this time, I brought a friend along to experience a river-view room in the heart of Xitang. It was worth the trip. We also saw the flower boats. There weren't many, only six, but they were perfect for the setting. Interlude: I asked the landlady to borrow two beautiful fire goblets, and then my friend dropped them on the floor. The first thing the landlady asked was if we had any scratches, and she didn't ask for compensation.

The location is very good. It's in the ancient town. The price is cheap and the sanitation is very good. The ancient town is very quiet in the morning and very beautiful at night. The proprietress is kind-hearted and even if we couldn't find it, she came to pick us up in person. She also told us seriously where to find fun. It was very nice. Recommended. I also saw goldfish in Xitang. I was very lucky.

The inn's interior is exquisitely landscaped, with a deep, well-arranged courtyard; the entire old house has a wonderful atmosphere! The staff are incredibly warm and friendly, providing excellent service in every way. They respond quickly and proactively to any questions from guests, and their hospitality makes chatting with them feel very relaxing and welcoming. The views from the rooms at Yishui Pavilion are also fantastic; you can see the lake from your bed, with its shimmering water, swaying willow branches, and passing boats. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay and enjoy the river view! There's so much to appreciate in the house; I feel like I'd love to come back and experience it more! The inn's homemade traditional plum juice is also delicious. (P.S. There are also adorable cats inside!)

入住房間環境很棒，陽台上有休閑椅和茶几。位置就在仁昌醬園裡的臨河房，可以參觀醬園文化展示。房間整潔乾淨，床鋪平整，床單被罩味道清新；陽台可以看到河景，楊柳低垂，對面就是古戲台和城隍殿，還有水閣橋。前台熱情高效，耐心解答問題；整個入住流程順暢，環境和服務都像家一樣舒適，住在這裏還可以聽見啾啾鳥鳴，可放鬆身心，強烈推薦，下次還會選這裏。滿分評價，各方面超預期，體驗非常棒。感謝店家給我升級了房型，有簡單的早餐，由於附近商鋪早餐開得比較晚，還是很便利。贈送一小瓶仁昌醬油，帶回去品嚐！雖然算不上十全十美，但是性價比很高

Location: Just on the edge of the South Lake, the transportation is convenient, and you can take a walk by the lake in the morning, which is very pleasant. Parking: The location is spacious, and the front desk can park for free when entering the license plate number. Room: Very clean and tidy, with elevators, bright windows, and very clean at night. The focus is that the price/performance ratio is really super high, invincible recommendation! Service: The proprietress has a very good service attitude, warm and thoughtful, and also helped us take the initiative to adjust the two rooms on the first floor. You can also find the front desk if you have something, which is much more convenient than a homestay without a front desk!
