The Braim Canal Hotel in Hangzhou was comfortable, well maintained, and clean and contained all the amenities needed for travelers. The breakfast offerings were standard Chinese and Western fare. As our stay was only one night with a tour group, we did not get the opportunity to explore the hotel vicinity. I would definitely recommend this hotel. West Lake is... More

We stayed here for 1 night and that's enough. We woke up at 4am because the room temperature was at 29. Tried to adjust it but it didn't work... The shower handle is very hard to use, from cold to hot only have 4 levels, so you probably won't get the water temp that you are comfortable with, either too... More

The Braim Hotel was just OK as far as the room goes. I have found that in China the rooms are not as clean as we expect in the US of similarly priced rooms. The bed was clean and comfortable with nice linens. However, it appears that in China most hotels (not the Marriott) turn off the air conditioning at... More

Thr Braim Canal Hotel is the perfect location in which to enjoy the night time activity which Takes place across the street in the square near the museum. The rooms are comfortable, clean and contain all of the amenities needed by forgetful travelers : slippers, toothbrush/ paste, comb....etc, in the evening the locals come out to enjoy themselves. Several dancing... More

Here it is while still fresh as I have been at the hotel 2 days and will be here another week. The outside of the hotel displays grandiose and somewhat novel curved architecture. Inside, the feeling in the lobby is a cold and uninviting place with large square and rigid spaces clad in gold accents to further the theme of... More

Stayed one night with a tour group. After our previous hotel, this was a disappointment. Had the same plywood hard beds typically found in Chinese hotels. Slow draining shower and toilets didn't flush that well. They were also pretty skimpy with the toilet paper.

I had a room on the top floor which has a fantastic view. Room was comfortable with lots of space. The hotel was about 1 year old and already showing signs of neglects in maintenance. Bath room has a funny smell of blocked drains.

Slept in this hotel only one night, so that I can’t really express an opinion on the location. The rooms are quite large and everything new. Everything very clean. Beds very comfortable with wonderful white linen. Bathrooms spacious and very modern with plenty freebies. Breakfast, as in other Chinese hotels but you can always find something to eat Generally a... More

I stayed one night with a tour group in March 2011. The hotel is quite new and the rooms were very comfortable. Everything was very clean. The hotel is located just across the road from a park and a shopping center (the park is on the roof of the shopping center so you have to go down stairs to get... More
