Top Xihu Hotel Reviews

Hangzhou West Lake Yueshang Yunshe Boutique Homestay

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay, very cosy and clean accommodation with a very good location. But the best was the team, thanks a lot to Pan Pan, Mingyue, Mengran and Aunt Yulin for making us feel at home. We will come back!"

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!"

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."
