Inns in Hangzhou

This guesthouse is incredibly warm and welcoming. The hostess and her daughter (the 'guesthouse sister') were so enthusiastic and thoughtful, they truly cured me of all the stress from work and life. I always prefer guesthouses when I travel because I love the personal touch and human connection. From the moment I booked and started communicating with the guesthouse, the 'guesthouse sister' was incredibly patient and thorough in answering all my questions. When she heard I was going to Lingyin Temple, she specifically reminded me to book a day in advance. When I arrived in the evening, I was immediately treated to tea, snacks, and freshly picked grapes – I went to bed feeling completely full and content. In the morning, when I went to explore the scenic area, the 'guesthouse sister' helped me with everything, from planning my route to organizing my itinerary. She thought of every detail. When my plans were delayed, her main concern was whether I could safely return to the guesthouse, even if it might affect check-out time. At noon, she also recommended a great restaurant and we even ordered some delicious takeout together. This 'sister' really knows her food, so future guests are in for a treat! 😆 I would absolutely love to come back again, because the experience was simply wonderful.

The inn is located in the park so just note that the park doesn't allow Didi to enter between 8am - 5pm but it's a ~10 minute walk to the bus loop and shuttles come very often. The inn is quiet and peaceful but some of the common spaces, such as the tea room, look old and not lively. The rooms look a bit old and have a bit of wear-and-tear so it is a bit pricier for what you get in other touristy areas. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful and the cleaner did a great job of cleaning our room.

I brought my parents to Hangzhou for fun. This time I chose Yashi B&B on Ctrip. The main reason was that I could experience tea picking. We checked in on May 10. Although the tea picking was almost over and the quality of the tea was not the best, the whole experience was great! The boss personally took us to pick tea, stir-fry tea, and pack tea, full of ritual and human touch. Next to the B&B is the Yunqi Bamboo Path, which only takes three to five minutes to walk there. You must go to this scenic spot for a walk. It is very quiet and the bamboo forest is dense. It is a natural ”oxygen absorption place”. It is very comfortable to walk in it and suitable for relaxing. The location of the B&B is also very convenient. It is not far from West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda, and Lingyin Temple. There are many buses at the door that go directly to major attractions. The bus is not only cheap but also can go directly to the entrance of the scenic spot, which is more convenient than taking a taxi. You can have a cup of Longjing in the afternoon and look at the tea mountain. Life is so pleasant. Although the room is a little small, the bed is very comfortable and I slept very well at night. The most worth mentioning is that the attitude of the boss and the waiter is very enthusiastic, making people feel at home. The overall experience of this stay was very good. I recommend it to friends who want to experience tea culture, get close to nature, and want convenient travel!

One of my favorite home stays ever. The hosts were super friendly, and served me the most delicious tea every day. The bed was very comfy and the rooms were spacious for the price paid. Will for sure ask to stay here again.

Close to the station, more convenient

This homestay is very comfortable overall, although it is quiet on the side of the road. Disposable towels are provided and the room is very clean. The big bed room we chose is on the 4th floor, with floor-to-ceiling glass on both sides, and you can see the tea mountain opposite when you open the curtains. The room is mainly white, decorated with wood, and the design is very simple and natural. The independent small balcony Xiaobao likes it very much. There is also a large terrace on the 3rd floor, which is very suitable for many people to drink tea and chat to see the scenery. The service has nothing to say, the boss is very enthusiastic and responsive. The wontons and fried dumplings for breakfast are delicious.

The hotel is extremely disappointed. They have a very strange policy of visiting guests, namely a total ban on visiting a room without passport registration (which requires extra payment). My friend wanted to help me to get things in the room and the staff allowed her to come to us for only 15 minutes. After that we watched as other guests the staff refused to skip the guests (they friends wanted to help carry things). I had bronchial asthma and I was extremely displeased with the fact that the room and bedroom were smoked. I had several asthma attacks at night and I couldn't sleep well.

I had a great stay at this small but cozy hotel room. The overall atmosphere was very welcoming. The location was perfect—close to everything but still quiet enough for a restful night. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Would definitely stay here again!

Stayed for 2 nights en route to Shanghai. Location is absolutely fabulous, walking to temples (fei lai and Lingyin), cable car, easy and short bus routes to tea plantations and West Lake north shore. Whilst the place is characterful and better than a bog standard beige hotel, the rooms are a bit tired but perfectly setvicable. The young gentlemen on reception barely looked up when you went through and seemed keen to have as little contact with public as possible. Breakfast was tasty traditional Chinese with steamed buns, pickles and sweetcorn with vegetarian diet easily satisfied (Those who want western breakfasts may want to head into the village) Beware if you have heavy luggage, you reach the property from the main road up a flight of steps.

In order to go to Beifeng, I specially set this homestay. The place is very good. It is on the edge of the Beifeng cableway. You can go to the queue to buy tickets up the mountain. The boss sent me the address two days before check-in, and the service was very good. I am also very enthusiastic about the amusement on the side. There is no hand sanitizer in the room, which is not convenient. It is also recommended to have a night light and go to the toilet in the middle of the night. Overall a pleasant stay.
