Inns in Zhejiang, China

The room was spacious and bright, with a great sense of openness. Being a suite, I could open the curtains and enjoy a vast green view, breathing in fresh air – it was incredibly comfortable. I could even sunbathe right on the balcony! If I have the chance next time, I hope to stay a few more nights to really soak it all in. The cleanliness was impeccable; everything was spotless, with no unpleasant odors, and attention to detail was evident throughout. The location was very convenient. Getting to the Xizha Scenic Area by taxi was quick, just a few minutes, making getting around hassle-free. The front desk service was warm and attentive. Check-in was efficient, and they were always ready to answer questions with a friendly and professional attitude. Overall, my experience was excellent, offering great value for money. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Wuzhen, and I would definitely choose to stay here again!

I picked this hotel mainly because of its proximity to Ziyang Old Street and its unique design. Once I checked in, I felt it was truly worth it. It used to be the 'Yu Tongfeng' pawnshop, a century-old building, and the renovation was done with great care – it’s not just another generic, trendy spot. The quadrangle courtyard, weathered old walls, and antique wooden doors made me feel like I was stepping back in time, having a conversation with the past as I walked through the yard. The rooms retain the original wooden beam structure of the old house, but you absolutely don't have to worry about discomfort. The bedding was incredibly soft and gentle on the skin, more comfortable than many five-star hotels. The toiletries were Appelles, and the mini-bar even had local snacks. The biggest surprise was that every guest can borrow books from the 'Ordinary Reader' bookstore next door to read in their room. In the evenings, I’d put on some music with the Marshall speaker and flip through old books about Linhai. Overall, my stay was incredibly comfortable, a perfect experience. This kind of quiet and unique experience is truly unforgettable.

The hotel isn't big, but the environment is nice next to a small river, and the bar street is just a 2-minute walk away. The location is good, and the hotel facilities are so-so. However, it's convenient for eating, drinking, and entertainment. The first day we went was sunny and very comfortable, but the second day it rained 🌧️, which was a bit disappointing, but we still managed to do everything and take pictures, haha.

Super fun! This was one of the theme hotels that were hidden on the Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street set. Appropriately, the Rosslyn Hotels' brand icon is the Landlady from Kungfu Hustle. Upon arrival, you check in at the North Gate's Tourist Services Desk. The concierge welcomed me with a complimentary bag of fresh fruit and asking me to add their butler (Housekeeper Xiao Xiao) to my WeChat. If I needed anything, I just had to text the Housekeeper Xiao Xiao (who was super helpful with all my questions (in English) during my stay). Then the bellhop whisked me away, via golf cart, to my hotel. There were several hidden hotels, with different themes, throughout the set. The bellhop took me through an unassuming door among into what looked like an empty set, and up an elevator to the room floors. The walkway offered a lovely view of the Ming Qing Palace set next door. The rooms were supposed to be themed as Guangzhou and Hong Kong in the 70s and 80s, but could easily pass for old Shanghai. The room was immaculate. The bed was very comfortable, the shower has nice and hot and with fantastic water pressure. The room has some of the largest closet space that I have seen in any hotel. The WiFi worked without the need to register a local cellphone number (I've found that many other hotels, in China, offered free WiFi, but you need to verify with an ID code text to you. The texts never come through to my U.S. phone number, so I have never been able to take advantage of free WiFi; that is until I got to this hotel.) The little details were delightful surprises around every corner. They always refer to guests as ”laoshi” (an honorific of teacher, or master, bestowed to actors) or as ”starlet”. Not gonna lie, I really wanted to take home the pair of the room's bone china cups. The stay also comes with very decent breakfast buffet that had both Chinese and western dishes. They will even make you fresh wontons and noodle soups to order. The restaurants in the park are not great and quite expensive by China's standard. I recommend loading up at the more tasty free breakfast to power through the day. The hotel's location was very convenient for touring Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street; which had very lively evening shows. (As you walk through the streets, look at the stores' signs and test your TV shows and movie knowledge by finding the Easter eggs.) The Qing Ming Palace Set is across the street from the Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street's South Gateon the other side of the park (don't worry, it's not that far). To access the other sets, you can take their shuttle, but it does not come around very often. It's more efficient to get a Didi. Overall, it was a magical stay of being in the movies.

This is a guesthouse in the Xizha Scenic Area. It's at the end of a narrow alley, so I couldn't find it on my own. But the staff at the hostel kindly called and asked for the hotel, and I was able to find it. The hotel staff were very friendly. The room has a lovely atmosphere, and it's perfect for exploring the ancient town late at night or early in the morning. The air conditioning was weak, so it was a little cold.

This is a hidden gem in a prime location near the city wall of Linhai. It’s a converted hutong down a side street and is well signposted. The receptionist didn’t speak English but we communicated via an app and she was so helpful. The room was spacious with satin sheets. The bathroom was clean and had hot water instantly for showering. I would stay here again. Also all rooms face into a lovely courtyard where you can sit and chill. I’m

For this price and location, cannot complain. Was quite content. Great location, rooms clean enough. It’s a family run property in an old town and old building, so please do not expect 5-star service.

Finally, I stayed here on my own. I'd always booked for clients before, but this time, I brought a friend along to experience a river-view room in the heart of Xitang. It was worth the trip. We also saw the flower boats. There weren't many, only six, but they were perfect for the setting. Interlude: I asked the landlady to borrow two beautiful fire goblets, and then my friend dropped them on the floor. The first thing the landlady asked was if we had any scratches, and she didn't ask for compensation.

My flight arrived late but I've managed to communicate with them and have a smooth check-in process. Tatami bed is nice. The only thing is that the room doesn't come with a mini fridge so I couldn't store my drinks. But I stayed in this room for only one night so it's fine. I also left my luggage at the lobby on the following day and there were no issues. There's a dog and a cat in the lobby.

This was my first time visiting Wuzhen, and the front desk service at the guesthouse was exceptionally good. They answered almost every question we had. We were heading to Hangzhou the next day and asked if they could help us arrange a car. The front desk staff not only helped us call a car but also found us a ride that was cheaper than DiDi! Highly recommend this place.
