Shaoxing Hotels with Balcony

"The hotel is not big, but the rooms are very spacious, the public space is not small, and the hardware facilities are not inferior to five-star hotels. The hotel is very new, very design-oriented, and all kinds of small details are well done. The service staff are warm and thoughtful throughout the whole process. The breakfast tastes very good, and the ingredients are cooked delicately and attentively. Free pick-up and drop-off service from the railway station is very considerate! Highly recommended"

"Recently, I spent 3 days and 2 nights in Shaoxing. On the afternoon of the 13th at 4:50 PM, I checked into the Wupeng Hotel at 40 Huancheng West Road (2-star, renovated and opened in 2025). On the morning of the 14th at 8:17 AM, I rebooked and went to Zhejiang Yue Hotel (3-star, renovated and opened in 2020) to complete the pre-check-in procedures. The two hotels are about 500 meters apart and similarly priced. Initially, I chose Wupeng Hotel because it was newly renovated and opened in 2025, and both were branded as ”hotels.” However, reality struck me hard. My different experiences at the two hotels and the WeChat chat records are enough to prove that choosing a hotel shouldn't solely depend on its opening time and promotional pictures. A standardized hotel like Zhejiang Yue offers richer substance and can provide guests with a more comfortable and pleasant vacation experience. Figures 1-10 show Wupeng Hotel, and Figures 11-20 show Zhejiang Yue Hotel. First, Zhejiang Yue, a standardized hotel, offers cozy comfort. The Wupeng 'Hotel' is actually a converted residential building, with its entrance inside a residential complex. The bathroom is within the bedroom, and the toilet door opens inwards, forcing guests to step into the shower to exit; breakfast offers two options: provided by the hotel or self-purchased, with the same varieties for each person. Zhejiang Yue Hotel is located in the historic and cultural street of Xixiao District, a complete hotel-style building, elegant and grand. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with full amenities. A buffet breakfast is provided, and late-night snacks are available in the evening (free of charge). Second, Zhejiang Yue Hotel offers excellent service, with instant replies and immediate assistance for any needs within a minute. The WeChat chat records clearly show the significant difference. On the afternoon of the 13th at 4:50 PM, I checked into Wupeng Hotel. I arrived at Shaoxing North Station at 8:52 AM, then went to Anchang Ancient Town for a 2-hour visit. During that time, I bought 3 catties of cured meat, 3 catties of Xiangfei nuts for 50 yuan, and 2 catties of soy-sauce-braised pork. After that, I took a bus to Keqiao Ancient Town. I was so tired that after checking in at 4:50 PM, I immediately collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep. What happened next made me feel that the service was extremely lacking. Chat records are available. Third, Zhejiang Yue's comfortable environment and thoughtful service are the most basic necessities for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation."
