Shaoxing Hotels with Gym

We stayed for one day during the May Day holiday. The staff were very welcoming. The two 1.35-meter beds were spacious enough for our family of four. In the evening, desserts and drinks were provided. The swimming pool wasn't crowded and the water was clean, which the kids really enjoyed. After check-out, the hotel even gave us some local specialty snacks. Overall, it exceeded our expectations.

The room was spotless and the bedding was comfortable. I especially loved that the bath towels were individually packaged – a great touch! The service was just right, and it was so nice to enjoy a quiet bowl of congee late at night. Breakfast was well-balanced and tasty. The laundry room was also clean and well-organized.

The room was decent, but the biggest issue was the toilet giving off a bad smell. I didn't bother reporting it to the front desk for reasons I'll explain below. There were two washing machines and two dryers; however, the dryers were quite weak and slow. Breakfast was excellent, though, with dishes like hairtail, drunken crab claws, and shrimp tempura. Now, for the downsides. The hotel shares its lobby with an esports hotel, which occupies the lower floors. The esports hotel's sign was even larger than the Mingting's, making me think I'd walked into the wrong place. The front desk attendant was wearing plain clothes, which confused me – is this even a legitimate hotel? I then realized the in-room phone was just for show; you had to call the front desk from an external line. That's why I didn't bother mentioning the toilet issue. It seems this hotel has a complete lack of management. I booked this place to see the cherry blossoms at Guazhu Lake East Bank Park, only to find out it's actually closer to Guazhu Lake West Bank Park. It was over two kilometers to walk, and I ended up needing a taxi to get there and back, making the location pointless. I definitely booked the wrong hotel.

This is one of the better hotels in Shaoxing, with excellent facilities across the board. Its biggest advantage is its proximity to Lu Xun's Former Residence and Shen Garden – it's literally at the best and closest spot right at the entrance of the scenic area, and also close to the subway. Regarding the accommodation, we booked a garden view courtyard room on the first floor. It was very convenient, saving us from constantly taking the elevator. There were a few more mosquitoes and it was a bit humid, but thankfully, we had two sunny days during our stay. Upon arrival, we noticed the bathroom sink was clogged, but the hotel promptly cleared it after we notified them, which was great. Now, about the restaurant. The menu wasn't extensive, but we tried some famous local dishes like Shaoxing Sanxian, Dongpo Pork, Stinky Tofu, and Drunken Fish. The dining service here is quite different from what you'd find in southern Guangdong. We weren't offered tea after sitting down; when we asked about it, the waiter just brought three bowls for tea. There were no napkins either. Basically, they don't offer anything unless you ask. After dinner, when we requested toothpicks, they pulled out a handful of loose ones and gave us one or two. It's hard to associate this kind of service with a five-star hotel. Perhaps for a second-tier city, this is as good as it gets, so one shouldn't expect too much!

The hotel was very clean, and the large parking lot had a great ambiance. The lobby was bright and tidy, giving the impression that events are often held there, yet it was never chaotic, always well-organized. This time, I came with my family for a concert and some sightseeing. The hotel's proximity to the concert venue was incredibly convenient. Plus, they gave us a small photo card of A-Pu when we checked in! After the concert, they even prepared a tea break with snacks in the lobby, which was a really thoughtful touch! The front desk staff were all super helpful and friendly. It was so easy and pleasant to borrow an umbrella when it rained. They always seemed busy, but they'd listen carefully to requests and eagerly assist, providing excellent service every time!

No strange smells in the room, new facilities, and excellent soundproofing. The staff were incredibly attentive, offering warm tea upon arrival and always greeting us politely – the service was superb! Room service was quick, the cleanliness was top-notch, and the bedding was comfortable. Laundry was convenient, and the 'Zhuju' (bamboo lounge/area) was elegant. The late-night congee was comforting, and breakfast was plentiful. The shower, TV, and air conditioning all worked perfectly. Invoice processing was smooth, and the in-room amenities were high quality. Highly recommended! They even lent us a pet stroller when they saw we had our dog, which meant we could eat in the restaurant for the next few days without any complaints or being turned away. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!

Kaiyuan Guantang hotels have never disappointed, and this stay at Dayu Kaiyuan Guantang was just as excellent! The hotel is nestled at the foot of Dayu Ling mountain and is essentially an ancient village, a vivid depiction of small bridges, flowing water, and homes—a perfect place to relax and unwind! They have shuttle carts, and the staff service is exceptional and very warm-hearted! They helped us with our luggage and even pushed the wheelchair for the elderly. Special thanks to Xiao Du (Du Jingchao), Xiao Zhu (Zhu Biao), and other service staff who ensured we were always picked up and dropped off precisely where we needed to be! They left us with no worries! Xiao Lü's follow-up call was also very thoughtful! This vacation was truly wonderful and delightful!

The hotel has both positive and negative aspects. The room was spacious and comfortable, which was definitely a plus. However, there were several issues that affected my stay. First, the air conditioning was quite noisy, making it difficult to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep. The bathtub also had a leakage problem, so it could not really be used for a relaxing soak. Another major concern was the noise every morning. My room was located on the 17th floor, directly below the canteen on the 18th floor. From early morning onwards, there were constant sounds of tables and chairs being dragged across the floor, which was very disruptive and made it hard to rest. Housekeeping service was also disappointing. There was no “Do Not Disturb” door hanger provided in the room. Even when I turned on the Do Not Disturb light, housekeeping staff still knocked on my door repeatedly to ask if I wanted the room cleaned. On one occasion, staff knocked loudly at around 9 a.m. while I was still sleeping, which was quite annoying. On the positive side, the hotel offers self-service laundry facilities. The washing machines cleaned clothes well and the dryers worked effectively. There is also a gym with good equipment, as well as snooker and table tennis facilities, which provided enjoyable recreational options during the stay. Overall, the facilities were good, but the noise and housekeeping issues need improvement.

The hotel staff didn't speak any English at all, but they were quite helpful. The room itself wasn't cleaned and there was clearly visible dirt on the carpet, we also got used, dirty and smelly hotel slippers - I asked the staff by using translator to replace it and clean our room because it wasn't cleaned, the promised to do this. They changed our slippers to new ones but the carpet wasn't vacuumed properly again. Apart from that it was fine. Breakfast was nice, rooms are spacious. The check-in and check-out procedure is time consuming because the staff doesn't know English and their procedures are aged - they copied my whole passport with all the previous trips to China and produced a lot of paper in the process for no reason. The check-out was done and we were asked to wait (to check if we used mini bar or something), but no one told us afterwards we can go so we waited for 5 minutes for no reason, I finally asked if we can go and only then the receptionist said yes xD

The villa has an excellent location and convenient transportation. The room is spacious, bright and in excellent sanitary condition. The service staff are enthusiastic, professional and responsive. The supporting facilities are complete, the price is reasonable and the price is high. Recommend staying here and will choose here next time.
