I’ve been to Hangzhou many times, and this time I didn’t visit any new places…
So I won’t write about Hangzhou itself anymore; instead, I’ll write about the hotel I stayed at…
The service at this hotel is excellent. Someone opens the door for you as you approach the entrance, and staff greet and guide you as you near the front desk.
During check-in, someone offers you juice on the side. The front desk staff have a great attitude and use polite language.
The key card and confirmation slip are already prepared, so all it takes is a quick card swipe and signature to complete the process.
The air conditioning in the room was already turned on, and the power card was placed in the slot beforehand.
As a Gold member, I was even upgraded to a much larger Deluxe Room, and received complimentary fruit~~
The facilities are also quite good. Although the building itself is relatively old, the hotel interior is new~~~
The only downside is the location: there’s no subway nearby and it’s not in the city center, though public buses are fairly convenient.
A taxi to West Lake costs about 30 RMB, and to Longjing around 50 RMB, but getting a taxi in Hangzhou is very difficult, and traffic is extremely congested.
The breakfast offers a wide variety of options and tastes great—they even had a whole roasted ham…
Freshly squeezed juices are also available, and every day I treated it like brunch…
On the 2nd floor there’s a restaurant called Mingren Mingjia, serving Hangzhou-style cuisine. Their special dishes are incredibly cheap and the place is always packed.
Three salted pork-steamed lake crabs for 9.9 RMB, black bean sauce steamed chicken feet for 6 RMB, and golden chrysanthemum rolls for 3 RMB—I ate to my heart’s content…
