Ningbo Mountain view Hotels

FRIENDLIEST Hotel in China! Honestly, these were the kindest hotel owners we've ever had the pleasure to encounter. Kind and thoughtful and helpful. The rooms were super clean and quiet. Breakfast was an absolute feast...plus it was prepared early in the morning due to our early train departure. The hotel's location in Qiantong Town was perfect and scenic. And the nightly hotel rates were very affordable. I definitely recommend staying here.

After reserving, I received a courtesy call from the hotel, and we then connected on WeChat since I don’t speak Chinese. The hotel introduced me to Long, the housekeeper, who coordinated our entire stay with great care and attention. Before our arrival, they asked if we had any special requests. As my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary, I asked them to decorate the room with flowers—and they did a beautiful job. They also asked about our dinner and breakfast preferences and were impressively organized in their preparations. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, but our taxi had trouble locating the hotel. I called Long, and he immediately came out to meet us—a huge help! When we checked in, they welcomed us with refreshments and even surprised us with a complimentary room upgrade. The room had a bathtub, which our three-year-old son especially loved. To our delight, they had thoughtfully prepared a child’s hygiene kit for him, including kid-friendly soap, shampoo, and a dental kit. We also received a handwritten note, a fresh fruit bowl, and a lovely bouquet of flowers. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, spotless, and very tastefully decorated. There’s a small indoor play area for children, including a slide, tent, and games—our son played there every day. We also enjoyed strolling around the grounds and spending time at the scenic swimming pool, which is nestled in the mountains. The food was another highlight: we had a delicious Chinese dinner and a traditional Chinese breakfast, both full of flavor. Throughout our stay, Long was incredibly helpful and made our trip truly special. Thank you, Long! I highly recommend Lost Villa. They have other locations as well, and we’re definitely looking forward to staying with them again.

Embraced by the beauty of the mountains, this hotel is a true gem, offering panoramic views of bamboo forests from each room. The common dining area is a visual delight, adorned with tasteful furnishings and bathed in ample natural light. Our stay was elevated by the genuinely warm and accommodating staff, who went above and beyond to provide insightful recommendations for exploring the area. Despite not having a car, the hotel's strategic location allowed us to embark on a delightful on-foot adventure. A scenic hike from the hotel unveiled a hidden gem—a breathtaking waterfall that added an extra layer of enchantment to our stay. Moreover, a leisurely walk down the mountain led us to a charming village nestled on the edge of a vast lake, creating the perfect setting for a tranquil sunset stroll. Our overall experience at this haven was nothing short of magical. The thoughtful details, combined with the friendly staff and natural wonders surrounding the hotel, made it a memorable retreat. We can genuinely say this place exceeded our expectations, and we're already planning our return. Highly recommended for those seeking a perfect blend of nature, comfort, and warm hospitality.

Booked three rooms, there is an upgraded sea view room, the room layout is simple and atmospheric, disposable toiletries, clean and hygienic, breakfast is also very delicious, in line with the taste, mainly the proprietress is really super good, super recommended! ! , Unfortunately, I didn't take many photos

The room is clean and comfortable, the facilities are high-end and advanced The whole homestay is very design, and the pastoral petty bourgeoisie is strong. The store manager and housekeeper are very responsible young people, humble, warm and thoughtful, other clerks are also very good, even its dog is very good The chef's cooking skills are excellent, and you must try his craft when you come Come to Qixiakeng Ancient Village, the first choice for eating and lodging is also 🉐️ This famous hotel, five-star praise!

My overall stay was quite pleasant, despite a bumpy start. Thankfully, the Howard Johnson Dongqian Lake's service was satisfactory, especially Manager Lou. She was dedicated, empathetic, and provided thoughtful, prompt service, demonstrating excellent hotel management qualities! I was traveling with my parents during a cold snap, and our original room was chilly. Manager Lou quickly arranged a room change to a different floor. We also encountered an unexpected power outage in parts of the Dongqian Lake resort area, which caused some inconvenience. However, Manager Lou and her team handled the emergency promptly and thoughtfully, taking care of my elderly parents. Her attitude and professionalism were commendable, and the other staff members also did a great job with the details. It's worth mentioning that the hotel offers cultural and entertainment experiences like Baduanjin (a traditional Chinese exercise), Song Dynasty tea ceremony, and deer park fun, which effectively enriched our holiday. These activities are suitable for both seniors and children. The location is also great: near Hanling Old Street in Dongqian Lake, about a ten-minute walk, and convenient for reaching other attractions. I hope the hotel continues to improve, with timely updates to some of the facilities. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

Overall, it was a fairly satisfactory stay. The hotel has an indoor kids' play area, an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, and even animal feeding, which gave the kids plenty to do during the hot summer days. The service was also quite good. I usually wipe down hotel rooms again, and this one was pretty clean. However, in the dining area, twice we encountered staff who cleared dishes but didn't wipe the table. We had to call them over, and even then, it took a while for them to come. The soundproofing was a bit poor. On the first night, I was in bed ready to sleep around 10 PM, but there were constant footsteps and chair-moving noises from upstairs until nearly midnight. The second night was fine, so I guess it depends on the guests upstairs. Staying here also grants access to Zheng Shiqifang with the room card. It's about a 10-15 minute drive, but we only stayed for about 10-15 minutes because it was just too hot that day.

Nestled in a bamboo-ringed mountain hollow, Xikou Manxiugu B&B ingeniously tucks each forest villa into the hillside, creating a unique and secluded haven. Staying in these hollow villas, you can enjoy snow in winter, mist in spring, cicadas in summer, and autumn leaves, truly embracing the wild. You can imagine yourself as a free bird in the forest or an uninhibited 'wildling' from ancient times, far from the hustle and bustle. Wake up to the morning sun, watch the sunset in the evening, sip tea leisurely, enjoy a glass of wine at night, listen to the rain on the leaves, chat with friends, find romance with a loved one, or simply gaze at the starry sky. It’s simply delightful! I come back every other year for a few days; I arrive feeling weary and leave feeling completely refreshed. The villas at Manxiugu are diverse in style and shape – from two-story Gothic-inspired spires to charming Baroque wooden cabins. Each room has a pleasant woody fragrance that ensures a peaceful night's sleep. On hot days, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the clear infinity pool. And the chef's culinary skills are truly exceptional – the food is delicious, not greasy, and incredibly appetizing, all at a reasonable price, so there's no need to dine out. The service philosophy is guest-first, with every request met and every detail handled until you're completely satisfied. I especially want to thank Miss Xiaoyu, who thoughtfully carried our bags and helped us, who aren't so young anymore, settle in comfortably. My detailed rambling is simply because my stay was so comfortable and satisfying, so I highly recommend everyone give it a try!

It might have been peak season, as there were a lot of people, and I had to queue for check-in. The front desk offered welcome fruits. The hotel has three buildings: Haiyue Tower and Haixin Tower. The front desk didn't explain this clearly, just handed over the room card with basically no introduction. I had to figure out the hotel facilities on my own, and ended up in the wrong building, dragging my luggage and taking the wrong elevator. It's clear that the hotel was once a luxury establishment, with excellent facilities and design. Unfortunately, the facilities are now old, and the management isn't keeping up. The room was spacious, and the bed was very comfortable, neither too soft nor too hard. The air conditioning worked well, cooling evenly without making it too cold; there was also a choice of pillows. Overall, the room stay was pleasant. I booked this hotel for its infinity pool, but it turned out to be a disaster zone. The changing rooms were barely cleaned, with water on the floor making it easy to slip, so I had to be very careful. I went to the infinity pool later in the evening when there were fewer people. The water temperature was 32 degrees Celsius, turning it into more of a hot spring. The main issue was that the pool and water were quite dirty. It closed at 8:30 PM. The breakfast suited the tastes of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions, with many local specialties. There were plenty of staff, but also a lot of guests. No one seated us, and there was no need to flip a 'reserved' sign. On the first day, at the table next to us, two girls, about 12-13 years old, brought food bags and directly emptied a whole plate of cakes, bread, and fruits into them. They were well-trained and acted as if it was perfectly normal, without any discomfort. On the second morning, at the adjacent table were two young mothers, around 30, each with a 4-5-year-old child. One mother had a picnic bag filled with various food containers. After breakfast, she left with a fully packed picnic bag, which completely astonished me. Upon checkout, the front desk gave a small gift, which was a thoughtful touch. I had dinner twice at the hotel's Cape No. 1 restaurant, and the seafood was fresh and delicious. It was a bit disappointing that swimming in the sea was not allowed.

After checking in at the lobby, you'll need to hike a short distance up the mountain. The housekeeper will meet you at the intersection. She's very friendly, helping with your luggage and greeting you warmly every time you see her in the morning. The cabins are quite unique, with a great mountain environment. At night, you'll find small geckos and large spiders in your room, and in the morning, you'll see all sorts of insects. Those who enjoy nature can choose the cabins, while those who aren't accustomed to staying in the mountains can opt for the hotel rooms up the mountain. They're all shared, and breakfast is served on the first floor. The hot springs are also very clean, with different types of pools, and very relaxing.
