I just checked into room 371; i had my chinese company book this hotel for me, despite them offering to book a business hotel a little further in the city. But, i figured my first time in hangzhou might as well be near the famous lake, i was also going against my gut, which wanted to pick Crystal Orange hotel.... more

Stayed here while visiting Hangzhou to attend a friends wedding. Having visited Hangzhou many times I knew exactly where I wanted to stay and that's right by the Lake. It was the nation holidays (Golden Week) so I knew that Hangzhou would be very busy and trying to get a taxi would be difficult. This place is close to all... more

We stayed at the Laveview after reading reviews here on Trip Advisor. We stayed 3 days stay a couple of weeks before China's 60th (Sept 09). The Hotel was definately a step up in class from our budget hotel in Beijing. It represents reasonable value for money. The room was a reasonable size with a medium firm bed (felt like... more

This middle-level business/tourist hotel is a good choice for visitors who want to be near the lake. We had three people in our party and it was one of the few hotels in China that gave us a triple room, with a real third bed instead of a cot or rollaway. The room was extra large. Overall, the staff were... more

My partner and I went there for 4 nights during Chinese New Year in 2007. The hotel is very well located and 15 minutes walk away from many cafes and restaurants, which is a pleasant walk as you stroll by the lake going south. Being Chinese NY, the hotels were all very busy, so breakfast time was not enjoyable. But... more

I have stayed at the Lake View three times and have enjoyed it every time. I have been treated very nice each time. I do not pay for the view rooms, but then I go to the dining room and enjoy it in the morning and at night. Then I walk to the lake quickly and enjoy the sights there.... more

Hotel is very well situated only 100 meters from west lake, Hangzhou's main attraction. i booked an executive room via there website about 2 days before arriving. upon check-in we were upgraded to a Lakeview room. Room was on 5th floor & gave excellent views of west lake. Our room didint include breakfast & was $88 rmb per person, it... more

I hesitated to book this single room because it was listed as only 8 square meters! While the room is small, it is laid out in such a way as to not seem claustrophobic. There's a small bed, a desk, a chair and even a closet. It's a very nice, clean room. I booked it for $51 (350RMB) including breakfast.... more

While the name suggests a view of the lake, the view from the rooms that have this is sooooo minor as to not be worth it. On a return trip I would not spend the money for the 'view' rooms and either spend less for the room, or spend more and enjoy a great view like the Hyatt or Shangra... more
