Top Xihu Hotel Reviews

Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff, especially for the trip with a guide and car to the Lingyin temple and the tea garden experience. They know the perfect path to take not well known but very beautiful and quite"

Hangzhou West Lake Yueshang Yunshe Boutique Homestay

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay here was truly one of the sweetest highlights of our anniversary trip! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with so much warmth, kindness, and genuine care. The ladies were incredibly accommodating, thoughtful, and attentive, always going the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we need and made us feel right at home. 🥹💕 Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling too well when we first arrived after a very long 21+ hours of traveling. Their lovely home cooked breakfast the next morning was such a comfort and really helped me feel better, and I was able to do a full day of sightseeing! To the lovely hosts, thank you for making us feel so welcome and for taking such good care of us. We miss you all already and will definitely be back! ❤️"

Shangri-La Hangzhou

8/10 Good

"Best feature of this property are the grounds outside the building itself. Take a tour around the backyard gardens. Rooms themselves are dated with small washrooms. You’re in the middle of a tourist zone so getting to and from the hotel requires your patience as long lines of caps string ahead of you in a slow crawl. Don’t get caught out ordering coffee from the breakfast restaurant in the morning. We were charged $10 for each coffee."
