Narada Dongqian Lake Resort Ningbo

The service was exceptional, and the hotel's location is great. We stayed in a villa with a small courtyard, and the room was spacious with excellent amenities. There aren't many hot spring pools, but the breakfast selection is quite rich. I'd suggest adding another coffee machine, as there's always a queue for coffee in the mornings. The Shanshui No. 1 restaurant right outside is also very good, with a wide variety of delicious dishes.

I came here for the hot springs on the third day of Chinese New Year. A week before, a room attendant added me on WeChat, and the service was excellent and very thoughtful. My room was in the main building, and the restaurant was on the second floor, both very convenient. There's a shuttle bus to take you to the hot springs. The only issue was that the air conditioning in the room was too warm; I had to open the window and sliding door for ventilation.

Staying at Dongqian Lake for vacation, the room was very comfortable, new, and came with a loft, which made for a pleasant stay. We happened to visit when temperatures were low, but the floor heating kept the room very warm, not cold at all, and the hot springs were also great.

The hotel service was fantastic, check-in was a breeze, and they even provided complimentary breakfast for the kids. The scenery is beautiful; we could watch the sunrise from our room. Thumbs up!

The room type is a standalone villa with a private indoor hot spring, but no terrace. Since it's halfway up the mountain, bringing large luggage in and out can be a bit inconvenient. The scenery is beautiful and pleasant, and it's not far from Dongqian Lake Scenic Area. When checking in, the room wasn't ready, so they offered afternoon tea, which was pretty good. Breakfast was standard and unremarkable, nothing special. I didn't try the restaurant, but they do offer in-room supper delivery. Overall, it was a good experience, perfect for relaxing and unwinding.

This truly lives up to its reputation as the second-best hot spring resort in Ningbo. I felt like one night was a bit too short! Overall, the hotel's service was excellent. Upon arrival, I was able to add the concierge on WeChat, and they were incredibly responsive. The front desk staff were also very attentive. There were plenty of hot spring pools, and soaking outdoors on the mountainside was a fantastic experience. However, after the hot spring bath, the indoor facilities could use some improvement. After showering, the amenities on the counter were quite lacking; only tissues, cotton swabs, and a hairdryer were provided. I think it would be good to also include some body lotion and moisturizer. The overall ambiance of the hotel was very comfortable and relaxing. Staying a few extra days by Dongqian Lake would definitely be a great way to unwind.
