Hotel Dengan bar di Zhejiang, China

First, about the service. As soon as I parked the car and opened the door, there were so many mosquitoes, probably because it was mid-summer. The parking lot security guard was very enthusiastic and helped us carry our luggage and handbags into the lobby in the scorching heat. 👍 Moving on to check-in, the staff were quite welcoming, providing a map and explaining the various attractions within the park. We took a shuttle bus to what they called an upgraded, detached room, which my daughter affectionately called a 'little wooden house.' Oh my goodness, cobwebs were everywhere! The room's pointed ceiling design meant I couldn't blame the cleaning staff for not reaching all the cobwebs. 🕸️ The facilities outside the door hadn't been washed clean by the rain. This hotel, despite being clearly popular, somehow exuded an air of desolation. Upon entering the room, the air conditioning was powerful, which was a plus. However, there was a persistent musty smell, like moldy AC and a moldy room, that stayed with us until checkout. It made me want to leave immediately. This odor was a stark contrast to the fresh bamboo forest outside. I can't imagine how anyone could stay for two nights; all I wanted to do was escape quickly. I must say, the air in the garden after the rain was absolutely wonderful. The only exception was the giraffe interaction area, which was incredibly smelly, to the point my daughter had to hold her nose. The bamboo forest cable car is highly recommended – definitely give it a try. As for the mini beach converted from a reservoir, I'm not sure what to say; it just felt like a filler. Another thing to mention is the locker rental at the beach entrance, which costs 30 for each use. The small radishes for feeding the giraffes were 8 tiny pieces (the staff said 10), probably equivalent to one large carrot, costing 30 a bag. Even coming from a first-tier city, these prices felt exorbitant. The bamboo forest cable car, even with a 40 coupon, still cost 168 for 2 adults and 1 child. Almost all activities inside require separate payment, and the prices are a bit on the high side. Breakfast was a bit noisy due to a live broadcast and everyone wanting to take pictures with the giraffes. Plus, with the windows open, it got very hot during the meal. For dinner, since it's far from the city, be careful when ordering from the restaurant. The boiled fish had a plastic taste, and the free-range chicken was undercooked and had a strong ***** smell. The prices weren't cheap either. Overall, children might only enjoy feeding the giraffes, but as an adult, I felt like I wouldn't come back. We checked out at 12 PM, but I wanted to rush out by 10 AM. If you're bothered by small insects or have high standards for cleanliness, I'd advise caution.

Sunset at Xianshan Peninsula: It feels like an island with a single hotel. First day minibar experience: Plenty of Nongfu Spring water! First day welcome fruit: Peaches were hard. Haha. Service: The hotel has a shuttle bus to the high-speed rail station, which is great. It's about 50 meters straight out from the exit. The schedule is fixed, so you need to plan ahead. It's still more suitable for self-driving. Surroundings: It's very convenient to get to Pixiu Town. There are hot air balloons, go-karts, and water activities. There's also a beer museum to visit with many activities inside, the VR is quite good. However, it's inconvenient to go to other places. Suitable for a vacation if you don't want a crowded experience. Facilities: Both indoor and outdoor swimming pools are available. Cleanliness: Relatively clean. Special Feature: There's an instant noodle bar from 9 PM to 11:30 PM. It gets so crowded it makes you question your life choices.

I thought a hotel this big would have good hygiene, but I never expected the bed hygiene to be so terrible. It was truly disgusting. I booked two rooms, one for me and one for my parents. In my room, I found very dirty hair on the bed the night I checked in. By the next morning, my parents' pillows had moldy stains. Since we checked in quite late, past 10 PM, my parents were too tired to notice that night. When they woke up in the morning and saw the pillows, it was absolutely repulsive. I only saw it when I went to my parents' room at checkout. When we reported it to the housekeeper, they actually claimed it was hair dye fading... That's just ridiculous! We sleep like this at home all the time, and our hair doesn't fade. Plus, both pillows had it, and my dad has short, un-dyed hair. How could both pillows be like that? Initially, I was angry that the cleaning staff clearly hadn't done a good job and weren't paying attention. But then the housekeeper actually blamed it on our hair fading... I was truly speechless. In any case, I definitely will not be staying here again.

Facilities: Fully equipped, just bring your bags and move in! Cleanliness: Spotless, tidy, and odor-free 🤙 Great value for money! Environment: Nice, clean, bright, and spacious. Service: Excellent! Warm, thoughtful, and responsive to every request. Superb experience! Afternoon Tea Set: Good!

This guesthouse has so much character! The owner clearly put a lot of thought and effort into the design. The massive, floor-to-ceiling bookshelf instantly brings a sense of calm, which is especially welcome on a hot summer day. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, browse books, read, or simply have a moment of quiet reflection. Oh, and the owner even gave me a complimentary room upgrade, which was incredibly comfortable.

The room is very clean, comfortable and hygienic. Children like it very much, but I feel it is more suitable for couples because the design of the bathroom is a bit inconvenient for parent-child families. There is also a bathroom on the first floor, but there is no shower. Parents of the opposite sex have to take a shower in advance. Other than that, it is almost full marks. The service is very, very, very good. The brothers are very handsome and the sisters are also very beautiful. They have a strong sense of service. The housekeeper is responsive to every request. A care package is provided every day, which is a canvas cosmetic bag that can be taken away. The toiletries are lelabo, and there are enough drinks. The restaurant is not big, so make reservations in advance. The food is very delicate and the taste is good. Afternoon tea and hot spring bath are also provided. It is very, very, very comfortable!

Excellent value! This was by far the most comfortable stay I've had on a trip this year. The room itself was spacious and bright, and the beds in the twin room were a comfortable 1.5 meters wide. Breakfast was also very generous; in addition to standard hotel offerings, they had local Jiaxing specialties like *zongzi* (sticky rice dumplings) and *shaomai* (dumplings), so there was plenty of choice. I also checked out the hotel's gym and the kids' castle on the first floor, and both were pretty good. The best value, though, was booking the Anfu Lu cruise through the hotel. It follows the same route as Emperor Qianlong, and a professional guide led the entire tour. Everyone on board even got snacks. The whole journey was incredibly relaxing and pleasant, and I learned a lot of interesting things in a great atmosphere. A big thank you to the gentleman at the front desk – he was handsome and his service was excellent. He even went out of his way to heat something up for me late at night. Next time I visit Jiaxing, I'll definitely choose the Four Points by Sheraton again!

The front desk service was excellent. The hotel's location is superb, just 50 meters from the subway station, making it very convenient to get around. The room was very comfortable and well-equipped. The front desk even helped upgrade my room, which made my stay very pleasant. Thumbs up!

I wanted to take my kids on a summer vacation but didn't want anything too strenuous, so I chose this Club Med. I heard it's an all-inclusive resort perfect for younger children, though maybe not so much for those over 10. I booked a two-night hotel pre-sale package through Ctrip (including breakfast and tickets to either Xixi Wetland or Lingshan Fantasy), with a 400 RMB surcharge for weekend bookings. The hotel called the day before to confirm and said they'd add my WeChat for future communication, but they never did. They also didn't mention adding a butler service during check-in, which is something other hotels do better. The hotel looks quite new and spacious, with most activities located on the basement level. For a hotel with a higher price point that prides itself on all-inclusive services, I was surprised to find that many entertainment options and parent-child activities required additional fees, and they weren't cheap either. This was a bit disappointing. On Friday and Saturday evenings, there's a mini-show, and on Sunday evening, there's a Chashan Qing performance. The shows make the evenings pass quickly. During the day, we mainly rested in the room and occasionally visited the mini water park, where the kids had fun in the water. The indoor children's playground is quite small and suitable for very young children; older kids won't find it very engaging. On the first day, we didn't want to go out for dinner, so we chose the hotel's Chinese restaurant for lunch. The dishes were mediocre, the portions were small, and the prices were not cheap. For dinner, we opted for the hotel buffet. The weekend prices were higher than weekdays, costing 328 RMB per adult and 218 RMB per child over 4 years old. The prices were a bit high. For the buffet, children are charged by age, not height. What can a child under 120cm really eat? The variety of dishes was also quite limited. For example, there was only one spicy flavor of crayfish, and the other dishes were just so-so. The mark-up felt excessive. For adults and children who don't eat sashimi and such, the value for money was very low. Since my child can't eat raw food, they pretty much only had some vermicelli soup at the buffet. The evening amusement park games were also very perfunctory; I didn't feel like playing at all. When I finally found a craft activity and sat down to try it, a staff member immediately came over with a POS machine, ready to charge me. 😂

We had an amazing stay here. The apartment is light, spacious and airy. The bed is huge and really comfortable and the shower and bathroom are also lovely. Having a kitchen with utensils, hob and microwave meant we could cook in the evenings which is a huge plus. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was varied and tasty with some western options, fresh noodles and omelettes, fresh fruits and salads, bread, cheese, pastries and amazing coffee and fresh juices. We used the pool several times (remember your swim caps!) and it was large and really nice for a swim. The location is great. It's close to the West Lake area. We walked there and back which was about 45mins each way, but it's also very easy to jump in a Didi to venture further around to see the Tiger Springs or Nine Creeks and Misty Forest areas which are really beautiful. The staff were very helpful. We arrived a little early and they checked us in straight away and very promptly answered all my questions. We asked for a late check-out and we were generously accommodated which was an added bonus. Oh - and the lobby and hotel smell amazing too! We will 100% stay here again when we return to Hanghzhou and would highly recommend it to other travellers if you'd like some luxury alongside home comforts.
