Top Xihu Hotel Reviews

Nostalgia S Hotel(Hangzhou West Lake）

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels in Hangzhou. A stone throw away from the beautiful world famous west lake. Breakfast is delicious and convenient. Staff are nice and friendly. Onsite laundry is free to access. Robot delivery is something you must to experience. Highly recommended!"

The Silk Lakehouse, Shangri-La Hangzhou

8/10 Good

"This is definitely the peak of aesthetics when it comes to the ‘neo-Chinois” style. Breathtakingly beautiful down to every single detail. Even the dinnerware for buffet breakfast is gorgeous. Staff are warm and welcome. The only downside is, there’s not much of sound proof. As a top-notch luxurious hotel, they can definitely pick more expensive windows. I was woken up several times at night by people coming out of the hotel or truck unloading. Their old counterpart, the west building, being built in the 1950s, is actually way much better in terms of sound proof. Just close the window then you can’t hear anything from outside"

Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou. The hotel is located right across from a beautiful park. It takes about a 6-minute walk to reach the park, where you can enjoy the lovely lotus leaves and peaceful scenery. Even when the weather is not ideal, you can still have a great time inside the hotel. The hotel has beautiful gardens and lotus flowers, making it a perfect place for taking photos and relaxing. We highly recommend the hotel’s Jin Sha Restaurant, which serves delicious Chinese cuisine. The hotel also offers a complimentary photography experience. We chose to purchase additional photos this time, and the quality was excellent. Even if you decide not to buy extra photos, the service is still outstanding. The staff provided a truly five-star experience. Overall, we had a memorable stay and would highly recommend Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou."

Oakwood Residence Hangzhou

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed for 4 weeks at Oakwood in Hangzhou in a one bedroom and really enjoyed the experience. The apartment was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with a great shower, tub, washer/dryer, full size fridge, coffee maker, toaster, and TV with local channels as well as international channels. The bed was comfortable, and there was ample closet space. The sound insulation was also adequate along with blackout curtains that made sleep time much quieter and darker. The location was good, easy to access to most locations in the city within a 20 min. Didi ride. My husband and child also loved the robot delivery. :D A few areas to consider for future: -The concierge could be better. I asked for help with arranging for guided tours, car service, etc., and the staff mostly directed me to use local apps that I don't have. When I pushed further, they did use their own apps to look things up, but I wished that they had more recommendations, resources, etc. to support guests. -The cleaning routine was a little bit unorganized. Some days they took away a used robe but did not replace it, some days they replaced detergent, toiletries, but some days they did not. -I wish there was a dresser of some kind - our clothes were spread out over multiple drawers, cabinets, etc. vs. all in one place. -The dryer does not dry clothes very well, consider upgrading or providing materials for hanging up partially dried clothes. -While there were cooking pots and pans, there was no oil, salt, etc."

Shangri-La Hangzhou

10/10 Excellent

"The building was built in the 1950s, so that’s the style. The location is perfect, with the lake right in front of your eyes. Rooms are solid built and quiet which is hard to achieve with modern buildings. Once you shut the balcony door you can’t hear the hustle and bustle outside. Breakfast is great with a gorgeous view of the lake. If one is looking for a modern hotel this is not the recommended one. But if one is interested in history and wants to stay at the same hotel a lot of world leaders stayed at, one may feel he/she is reliving the history here. Love the lotuses in the lobby by the way, very summery."
