Hotels in Dongqian Lake Scenic Area, Ningbo

The experience of staying in this whole season was great! As soon as you enter the lobby, you can smell a faint tea fragrance, and the environment is elegant, which makes people relax instantly. The room has maintained the simple Chinese style of the whole season, clean and tidy, and the bedding is very comfortable. For people on business trips, it is too important to have a good night's sleep. In particular, I want to praise the staff at the front desk. Check-in and check-out are very efficient and friendly. The breakfast is rich in variety and tastes very good. Next time I come here for a business trip, the whole season is still my first choice!

1. The main advantage of the hillside rooms is the private hot spring. Other facilities, however, are quite a step down from the main Junlan building. The amenities are pretty old, and the bathroom design is poorly thought out—no mirror above the sink and no hooks or racks for towels. It fell short of my expectations. 2. The hotel lacks a kids' club, and the outdoor facilities aren't designed with families in mind, making it unsuitable for guests with children. Plus, the outdoor farm and other areas are really old, run-down, and poorly maintained. 3. Breakfast was just average, nothing special. 4. There was no butler service, and everything was just standard. They even asked for a good review, but honestly, I didn't experience any exceptional service. 5. Overall, the experience was quite mediocre. Especially the first few hillside rooms, which lack a balcony and a sofa, are very small and offer poor value for money.

The front desk staff were fantastic, super friendly and gentle. They had all the little essentials like chargers and sewing kits readily available. Breakfast was delicious too! The hotel is really close to Dongqian Lake and Ningbo Wild Animal Park, and the hotel itself is very comfortable. Definitely recommend it! The street right next door is incredibly photogenic – perfect for taking some amazing pictures!

Highly recommend Luyuan Canghu B&B in Dongqian Lake! My stay here far exceeded expectations; I could have happily spent the entire day at the hotel without wanting to leave! What impressed me most was the consistently thoughtful and attentive service throughout. The front desk staff were gentle and patient, making the check-in process efficient and seamless. Any request was handled quickly. The hotel manager was humble and meticulous, considering every detail for the guests, truly going above and beyond with the service – my impression was excellent. Taking advantage of the afternoon tea was incredibly convenient; the pastries were exquisite and delicious. I also ordered a coffee and slowly enjoyed it in the lakeside viewing area, with a gentle breeze from the lake creating a perfect ambiance. The B&B’s environment is quiet and elegant, with the courtyard beautifully complementing the direct lake view. There's no need to rush out and visit attractions; simply relaxing and unwinding here is incredibly therapeutic. Whether it's the service, environment, or leisure facilities, everything was impeccable. It's definitely on my list for a second visit. For anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in Dongqian Lake, this is a definite go-to!

My overall stay was quite pleasant, despite a bumpy start. Thankfully, the Howard Johnson Dongqian Lake's service was satisfactory, especially Manager Lou. She was dedicated, empathetic, and provided thoughtful, prompt service, demonstrating excellent hotel management qualities! I was traveling with my parents during a cold snap, and our original room was chilly. Manager Lou quickly arranged a room change to a different floor. We also encountered an unexpected power outage in parts of the Dongqian Lake resort area, which caused some inconvenience. However, Manager Lou and her team handled the emergency promptly and thoughtfully, taking care of my elderly parents. Her attitude and professionalism were commendable, and the other staff members also did a great job with the details. It's worth mentioning that the hotel offers cultural and entertainment experiences like Baduanjin (a traditional Chinese exercise), Song Dynasty tea ceremony, and deer park fun, which effectively enriched our holiday. These activities are suitable for both seniors and children. The location is also great: near Hanling Old Street in Dongqian Lake, about a ten-minute walk, and convenient for reaching other attractions. I hope the hotel continues to improve, with timely updates to some of the facilities. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

I accompanied my 98-year-old mother back to her hometown to pay respects to our ancestors and sweep their graves. We stayed at the Nanyuan Hotel, located in the Dongqian Lake area, which is very convenient for getting around. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The receptionist and the waitress Cao in the fourth-floor restaurant were warm, patient, and attentive, making us feel very welcome. We will definitely choose this hotel again next year.

Still the best! We first visited 12 years ago when my child was 7 months old, and now, 12 years later, we're back at Park Hyatt. It's still the top hotel on Dongqian Lake. The renovated rooms are fantastic, so comfortable, and you don't have to worry about a thing. Qianhu Fishery is as delicious as ever, and the steak and pasta at the Western restaurant are both great. Plus, hotel guests get a 20% discount, which is excellent value for money! 👍 The breakfast is what I'd recommend most – both the Western options and local specialties are high quality. We ordered glutinous rice balls every morning and evening, which my child absolutely loved. Our butler, Ginny Huang, provided thoughtful and responsive service, handling all our requests promptly and efficiently. The entire trip was delightful and satisfying! 👍 All my previous concerns have vanished, and we'll definitely be back!

Great, good service, beautiful room and good environment. The housekeeper is considerate and has everything you need. Some small details can be done in place, great.

The hotel is located on the bank of Dongqian Lake, with beautiful scenery. The underground parking lot of the hotel is not open to the public, and can only park employees' vehicles, which is inconvenient on rainy days. The central air conditioning is not turned on, and the room is stuffy. The waiter brought an electric fan, but the fan was too dirty and dared not use it. There were only 4 tables of guests in the restaurant during dinner. 3 dishes were served first, and an hour later they said that the remaining dishes were gone, which affected the mood of the meal.

I visited last year and was very satisfied, but my experience this year was just so-so. I'm not sure if they're cutting costs and increasing efficiency, but they seem to be skimping on the air conditioning. The lobby wasn't cool at all; I was actually sweating while checking in. The corridor leading from the lobby to the guest room buildings had almost no AC, and it was very hot. The elevator also lacked AC and was sweltering. The windows in the guest floor hallway were closed tight with no AC, and there was a strong musty smell. The room itself had a musty smell upon entering. If you try to open the balcony door for ventilation, the AC stops working. I'm not sure if they used too much disinfectant on the bed linens, but my skin felt very itchy while sleeping, to the point of waking me up in the middle of the night. The hotel's pest control is also inadequate; I still got many mosquito bites even after applying repellent. Plus, the toilet paper in the room was paper-thin. The overhead shower needs fixing; the water sprayed everywhere. They've cut costs so much that there are only two bottles of mineral water in the room. There was only one pack of tissues, so after washing my hands in the bathroom, I had to go to the room to get paper, which was ridiculous. The only things that haven't declined are the service at the Chinese restaurant and the staff at the go-kart area.
