Good location - short distance from lake side. The best thing about this hotel is it's staff. Without exception we received a very friendly & professional service. We travel all over the world & this hotel is up there with the absolute best in terms of their helpful & attentive service. The rooms are a decent size, very clean, well... More

Friendship Hotel has an ideal location, in the city centre of Hangzhou. It is located at three minutes walk from the famous and so beautiful Western Lake and from the city's commercial centre. The rooms are big, cosy and welcoming and are equipped with all the amenities one can ask - even more! The breakfast is served on the 18th... More

With a name like "Friendship Hotel", the imagery that that kind of name evokes is of a small and stodgy Soviet era Communist hotel. What a pleasant surprise when we checked in. The lobby was expansive and the rooms were well appointed and we would venture to say that it even shades the NY Hilton that we'd previously stayed in... More

The Friendship Hotel does not look friendly from outside, but the service and attention you will receive from the staff certainly does. This hotel has improved and the rooms have been renovated. They provide all amenities, a cellular telephone, fruits and water for your eating pleasure, and a very elegant design with semi-circular rooms with views of the city (and... More

Unfriendly front desk staff who can handle straightforward checkin/checkout deals but are unprofessional in dealing with any other additional requests. They bungled up a request to extend 1 room for half a day and insisted on charging for 2 rooms. Double rooms were small and cramped. They don't provide airport transfers and neither did they offer to help arrange for... More

Stayed here for 4 nights and overall it's a pleasant hotel, just 300m away from west lake and a very complete set of amenities: free internet in the room, at least 3 restaurants, gym, travel service (good for buying train tickets in advance). The breakfast is spectacular, on the top floor with a beautiful view over Hangzhou and a wide... More

Was In HangZhou for 2D1N in Nov 2010 (yes apologies for this late review). Decided to stay the night at Friendship Hotel. I chose this because of the positive reviews in TA (thanks to all the reviewers and to TA for hosting and disseminating all these info). I have since recommended this to friends traveling to Hang Zhou in March... More
