Nostalgia S Hotel(Hangzhou West Lake）

10/10 Excellent

"It is ideal!! Perfect location. Close to the beautiful lake where most of the attractions are. Also, the staff were very helpful. They even offered to take us to the Temple. Room was perfect! Very cleaned and modern. As a plus, they even did our laundry. It is the best hotel I have stayed in China. Above and beyond in all aspects ‼️"

Shangri-La Hangzhou

10/10 Excellent

"The building was built in the 1950s, so that’s the style. The location is perfect, with the lake right in front of your eyes. Rooms are solid built and quiet which is hard to achieve with modern buildings. Once you shut the balcony door you can’t hear the hustle and bustle outside. Breakfast is great with a gorgeous view of the lake. If one is looking for a modern hotel this is not the recommended one. But if one is interested in history and wants to stay at the same hotel a lot of world leaders stayed at, one may feel he/she is reliving the history here. Love the lotuses in the lobby by the way, very summery."
