Stayed here 2 nights as part of a South China tour. Arrived in evening. Room was large, excellent facilities and moderate wifi access. Decided to have dinner in main restaurant - big mistake! Buffet was cold, limited and staff spoke virtually no English, so lots of pointing and acting out. Meal was very disappointing and buffet closed at 8.30pm, when... More

I stayed here with my China sales team for a two day meeting. If i didn't need to be back in the states right away, I would have stayed longer to enjoy the property and surrounding area more. I won't repeat a lot of what others have already written, but this is one of the most enjoyable locations I have... More

It is interesting that in the past decade each time I visited Hang Zhou I always stayed in this guesthouse. This hotel is very popular because of the fact it used to be the residence of Chairman Mao. The hotel itself is like a beautiful park since it is one part of the famous West Lake. The view is unbeatable!... More

Stayed in the main building above the registration area with a view overlooking the water and the beautiful gardens. 5-star very modern room, with fresh fruit added every day. Very peaceful, no crowds and paths up the hill with good views for an easy walk to Mao's study. Breakfast is very good and wide variety of chinese and western food.... More

Like a hidden gem, away from the crowd. Very professional staff and pretty good food, although kinda pricy. Unfornately there was a high level foreign visit event, so building no. 1 was closed to other guests. Will stay here again, hopefully soon.

Right at the Westlake, the Xihu State Guesthouse is perfectly located in Hangzhou. In a huge park at the borders of the lake we found lots of tranquility and original old-style luxury ... a real retreat from the crowded and noisy city center. Although the 5 star luxury in the hotel is not at the latest Western level, the hotel... More

We stayed only 1 night we had booked a non smoking room but on arrival we were given a room that was defiantly not non smoking we were told we could change rooms but we would have to pay an extra £50.00 I did not want to do this as I thought the amount we had paid was more than... More

It was the most peaceful place on our trip to China. We stayed at this location for two nights. The rooms were pretty simple but the location was great if you want to get away from the hordes of people in China. We had two excellent nights of sleep because you could not hear anything. No construction sounds. No honking... More

We stayed 1 night in this state run historical hotel - which used to be the private club for senior PRC officials, and prior to that - the private residence of a wealthy 'Liu' family. The compound is large and beautiful, there are great walks by the West Lake. The hotel is housed in separate 1 storey buildings, and the... More
