The hotel is conveniently located very close to Xuanwuhu and the metro station Xuanwumen is just outside the hotel. There are a lot of shops and shopping malls around and needless to say never short of restaurants and cafes. Overall the hotel staff were very courteous, except at the breakfast restaurant. The servers at the cooked food stalls seemed to be not care what you want. The room I stayed is facing the lake at the high floor, pretty good view and extremely clean. The decoration was the old style type and may not appeal to the young people. I have tried the Chinese restaurant. It was not bad but the standard was not in particular outstanding. There are a lot of restaurants around and in the city and finding a better one certainly would not be a problem. in one morning I went to have a stroll at the lakeside. It was quite an experience not just because the walkway was very charming, I did witness a lot of people exercised there in different forms, including group dances, quite an experience.

“By far the best staff, very accommodating.”

I spent four days here. It is convenient for the lake and the city walls. There is also a shopping centre nearby with a good supermarket, always a bonus. The room was comfortable and the breakfast very varied. The staff were very helpful and spoke good English. Highly recommended.
