Hotels With Pools in Zhejiang, China

Had a fantastic vacation at the Sheraton! I was truly touched by the thoughtful service from our butler, Lucky. Knowing that both my son and I have March birthdays, she went the extra mile to decorate our room for the occasion and even arranged for the Western restaurant staff to custom-make a birthday cake for us. It added such a festive and warm touch to our entire holiday. A big thank you again to Lucky and the entire Sheraton hotel team!

The owner and front desk lady are very welcoming. They will contact you via WeChat prior few days of your check in to give you guidance on where to take the free boat ride. Free boat rides were provided during check in and check out. Very great experience to have such boat rides experience in this beautiful ancient town. Location is superb. Strongly recommend and definitely will come back again.

I always make it a point to visit Hangzhou every year, and seeing the lush greenery by West Lake is always such a beautiful sight! Even with the bustling crowds around West Lake, you can still find a sense of peace and tranquility here. The Xizi Hotel is definitely worth considering for your stay. **Room Facilities:** The dark, reddish-brown furniture gives the room a grand and elegant feel. Welcome fruits and local snacks are neatly arranged in compartments. The bathroom has both a shower and a bathtub, though overall, it feels a bit dated. **Value for Money:** The room rate is quite steep, but considering the hotel's stunning views, excellent service, and prime location, I still think it offers good value. **Breakfast:** The selection is incredibly rich and varied, and having breakfast right by West Lake is a lovely experience. There's a mix of Western and Chinese options, plus local Hangzhou specialties. You can definitely eat your fill, but it's best to go early, as after 9 am, you'll need to get a number and wait for a table. **Bed:** Just average. **Cleanliness:** We were initially given a room on the first floor which felt quite damp, and it seemed no one had stayed in it for a while. After discussing it with them, they moved us to a second-floor room, which had much better sunlight. **Parking:** They have a dedicated parking lot. **Room View:** Our room was quite far back, so the view was mostly of the mountain behind the hotel. **Location & Transportation:** The location is incredibly convenient. Leifeng Pagoda is right next door, and you can see its full panorama from the hotel. Across the street are Jingci Temple and Prince Bay Park. Bus 1314 stops right outside and goes directly to Lingyin Temple and other attractions. If you exit through the west gate, you're very close to 'Viewing Fish at Flower Pond'. We chose to take a boat from Majiawan Pier and explored Yuangu Bay, Turtle Pond, and Three Ponds Mirroring the Moon, experiencing a different side of West Lake. However, since the hotel is quite large, it's a bit of a walk to the main entrance. **Service:** The staff proactively shared information about the hotel with us – truly a testament to its renowned reputation. We interacted most with the shuttle bus drivers. When we mentioned it was our first time staying there, both the drivers and security guards enthusiastically told us about the hotel's features. A special shout-out to shuttle driver Xiao Mu, who waited patiently in the pouring rain for us to finish taking a night photo we wanted. There's also a building manager service for Building 2, responsible for managing the entire building, including check-in arrangements and turn-down service. The staff here are very thoughtful and attentive, and they even offered us some complimentary incense. **Swimming Pool:** There's a separate, heated indoor pool. **Gym:** The gym is located in a separate area. **Complimentary Activities:** 1. At 4 PM, a hotel guide takes guests on a tour of the entire hotel, providing explanations of sites like Pearl Spring and the G20 banquet hall (which isn't accessible outside of booked events, but it's very grand). We learned about the origins of the estate, saw the self-picking Longjing tea garden, and a quiet spot for playing music. The highlight was Building 1, offering a perfect view of Leifeng Pagoda and the building's harmonious composition. The tour lasts about 40 minutes. 2. A travel photography session. Each room receives five photos, which isn't really enough. If you want photo editing, it's an additional 5 RMB. Choosing more upscale costumes costs another 100 RMB. If you truly want some good photos, you might need to spend an extra 200 RMB or so. The photographer does guide you, but the pace felt very fast, and the overall shoot didn't feel very thorough, with the photos not being particularly outstanding. This is just my personal experience, though.

I booked two rooms, both on different platforms, and they upgraded both to courtyard superior rooms, with one even upgraded to a suite. The service here is top-notch for its category; every staff member greets you with a smile. The facilities are well-maintained, including smart toilets, capsule coffee machines, and very clean bedding. The fridge wasn't very cold, and the suite balcony didn't have a table and chairs. Even though it was crowded on the weekend, there was someone to seat us for breakfast, and tables were cleared quickly. The breakfast was decent; they had a special lamb noodle dish that I didn't try, but everything else was standard fare, no complaints. Compared to other hotels of a similar caliber I've stayed at recently in Hangzhou, Nanhu Hotel offers excellent value for money and a great overall experience. Stepping out the back door, you're greeted with a beautiful lake view, which in March, felt a bit like West Lake. My parents were particularly pleased. We'll definitely be back to stay again.

Our stay was fantastic! Special thanks to Ms. Zhan at the front desk for her thoughtful service and help during check-in. She upgraded our room when possible and gave us recommendations for evening activities. What really stood out was when she offered us two warm, yes, warm walnut cookies – they were so comforting and delicious, like coming home, especially since we were a bit hungry! We extended our stay for another night, and Ms. Jia at the front desk was equally warm and attentive. The entire hotel, from its facilities to its soft services, feels grand and well-designed. The bedding is incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast and dinner buffets offer a wide variety of choices. I also appreciate their strong commitment to environmental protection, with trash cans that have ditched plastic bags – excellent!

Staying at Greentown Blue Bay Building 2 this time, which is in the same building as the Sheraton. I was stunned as soon as I swiped my room card and walked in! The lake outside the balcony was an unbelievable shade of blue, like a glowing sapphire. The sunlight sparkled on the water's surface. Sitting on the balcony, lost in thought, watching the layered distant mountains, time seemed to slow down. You absolutely must come on a sunny day; the photos are stunning straight out of the camera, no editing needed!

Marriott never ceases to impress—it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The cleanliness was unmatched; every corner of the room and facility was spotless and well-maintained. The staff were incredibly polite, helpful, and professional, making every interaction feel warm and seamless. But what made this stay extra special was that I proposed during this visit—and everything about the experience contributed to making it perfect. The smooth service, calm ambiance, and attention to detail made it a truly unforgettable moment for us. Highly recommend the Marriott for anyone looking for both luxury and heartwarming hospitality. Thank you for making this milestone so beautiful

We stayed at the Shangri-La Yiwu during the Qingming holiday, and a special thanks goes to Bola! Even with the high volume of guests during the holiday peak, she remained professional and enthusiastic, proactively assisting with the check-in process and thoughtfully reminding us of important travel tips. Her warm smile and efficient service added so much comfort and peace of mind to our holiday, making us feel truly at home. Thumbs up for Bola!

Ella at the front desk provided incredibly warm, attentive, and highly efficient service! The room was spotlessly clean, fully equipped, and the bedding was very comfortable. The absolute highlight was the breathtaking view from the window; overlooking the city lights at night was truly mesmerizing. It offers excellent value for money, and I will definitely choose to stay here again. Highly, highly recommend!

This garden-style hotel, much like West Lake itself, boasts a rich history. The staff are well-trained, polite, and enthusiastic in their service. I won't dwell on the positives, but rather focus on areas for improvement, hoping for an even better experience. 1. **Layout:** The single-story layout means rooms are quite a distance from the front desk. After a long day out, already tired, it feels like an endless walk back. 2. **Guest Segregation:** As a resort hotel, I suggest a better separation between business and leisure guests. I was enjoying tea by West Lake, and all I could hear were loud discussions about IPOs and investments, full of self-promotion – utterly boring! It completely ruined a perfectly good afternoon tea. It was such a mood killer! 3. **Noise & Smoke from Business Guests:** Meeting guests were playing cards (Guan Dan) in their rooms with their doors wide open, smoking, filling the entire hallway with smoke. There's a small balcony outside the rooms; couldn't they play cards there? The hotel should consider the experience of leisure guests, otherwise, it doesn't live up to its national reputation and 3000+ RMB room rate. 4. **Breakfast Disappointment:** Breakfast ends at 10 AM. We arrived at 9:30 AM, and there were still many people in the restaurant. I wanted orange juice but was told it was out. Then I asked for milk, and that was gone too. I looked around the dining area; there were at least forty or fifty adults and children still eating. I was speechless, not knowing what to say. 5. **Bathroom Amenities:** The shower gel in the room seemed to be L'Occitane, but the font was so small that it was impossible to read once wet. The shampoo and shower gel looked identical, making it hard to distinguish, so I accidentally used shower gel as shampoo several times. Overall, the hotel's quality is evident. The Chinese restaurant, tea house, room service, breakfast, front desk, and concierge are all good. Especially the manager of the Chinese restaurant – he's kind and friendly, even coming to the breakfast restaurant the next day to greet us, which was very professional. In short, West Lake State Guest House is good, and I hope it continues to improve! Oh, and that West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce – to make carp taste that good, that truly shows skill.
