Old style hotel with bathtub and a lot of wood, that looked dirty, but was not dirty. TV program with all the usual channels, incl CNN, DW, HBO, Cinemax and I think also BBC and Discovery. Internet was free of charge, but very slow, even skype calls were not great, which usually work even over very slow lines. iChat, Facetime... More

Great place stay while in Hangzhou. Although it's not near the Lake or the tourist areas (no Pizza Hut here LOL), it does have a great restaurant, is within walking distance to bars and other restaurants.

The food is not for foreigners, and the accomodations would barely be called a 3 star hotel in the West. I would strongly recommend a different hotel such as... More

Stayed 5 days at this hotel, located close to Hangzhou's drawcard the West Lake. Nice big room, free internet with so so connection speed, nice cantonese restaurant, buffet breakfast quite respectable. Paid RMB 720 per night More

Since I had not heard of this hotel before my hosts had booked it, I was a little apprehensive about their booking. To my surprise, it turned out to be a very good choice. Although not on the West Lake, it was a robust 45-minute hike away and great for the waist-line, important given the evening banquets to come that... More
