5-Star Hotels in Ningbo

Due to a typhoon, our ferry to Shengsi was canceled. We spontaneously decided to visit Ningbo instead and booked three twin-bedded standalone villas at the Seventeen-Houses Kaiyuan Guan Tang. During check-in, our butler, Xianxian, noticed we were a group of six friends and upgraded two of our twin rooms to a two-bedroom standalone villa suite. To make things even more convenient, she arranged for our rooms to be right across from each other. The hotel is located within the Ningbo Zheng Family's Seventeen-Houses scenic area, and guests get free access to the attraction. The hotel itself has an antique charm, full of the character of an ancient Jiangnan village. The service is also noteworthy, especially our butler Xianxian, who sent thoughtful daily greetings via WeChat and was always ready to answer any questions. The hotel's shuttle service was quick to respond, making it very easy to get in and out of the property. I also want to commend the breakfast, which offered a rich variety of Ningbo local snacks.

The staff asked for my valuable feedback and suggestions, and honestly, I only have praise and compliments. The service at this hotel was truly exceptional. It's rare to find young people with such a great service attitude and awareness these days. When they noticed I wasn't feeling well, they immediately offered help and even reported it to their manager. The manager promptly called to check on me and respectfully asked if it was convenient for them to visit me in person (they were very mindful of boundaries). This was truly an unexpectedly wonderful hotel experience!

We originally booked a Deluxe Twin Room and were pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade to a King Room! The room offers a direct, unobstructed city view, and the floor-to-ceiling windows capture the entire scenery of the Eastern New Town—the view is simply unbeatable. The dual-sink smart bathroom is very convenient to use, and the TV supports screen casting, making it great for both catching up on shows and getting work done. The hotel is very close to Minglou Metro Station, making travel super easy, and Tianjie is right downstairs. Overall, it's impeccably clean, elegantly designed, with attentive service and brand new facilities. Highly recommended whether you are in Ningbo for business or leisure! 2 cups of freshly ground aromatic coffee: Lobby self-service tea and coffee Welcome fruit: Yes Minibar: Complimentary minibar

Great location in the historic Haishu District of Ningbo. It's within walking distance to Ningbo Railway Station (about 10 minutes). Metro Line 4 is also right here, offering direct access to Dongqian Lake. Yuehu Park is just outside the door, and Tianyi Pavilion, Drum Tower, City God Temple, and other attractions are all in this neighborhood, making it very convenient for strolling around. There are plenty of dining options nearby, ranging from internet-famous eateries and time-honored brands to local neighborhood hole-in-the-wall spots. Cleanliness: Clean. Room View: A faint view of Yuehu Park. Service: Staff nodded and greeted us, and evening turndown service included scented incense and milk delivered to the room. Room Facilities: A bit old, but otherwise flawless.

Our recent stay at Cordis Hotel left us deeply impressed with their high-quality and warm service. Coincidentally, it was my elder's birthday on the day we checked in, and the hotel thoughtfully prepared a birthday cake, which was a pleasant surprise for them and made them feel incredibly touched. They also upgraded us to a lake-view room. That evening, we realized that our child's beloved pillow (Abebe), which they depend on daily, had gone missing, and we were quite anxious. We are very grateful to the hotel staff for their proactive assistance in searching for it, doing their utmost to help us recover this item that is so important to our child. From the heartwarming birthday surprise to the diligent handling of the lost item, everything fully demonstrates the professional and meticulous service standards of your hotel. We extend our sincere gratitude to all the staff involved in our service and wish your hotel prosperous business!

The views from this landmark hotel in Ningbo were a delightful surprise. The high-floor rooms offer expansive city views that are particularly stunning in the evening. The room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, making for a comfortable stay. The staff were polite and efficient. I was especially touched to find children's toiletries from 'The Little Prince' brand, which my family has used before – a really thoughtful touch! Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Ningbo. Thumbs up!

The room was spotless, and there was a bedside extension cord with USB ports, which was very convenient for charging. The staff at both the buffet and the Chinese restaurant were exceptionally warm and hospitable—especially the chef slicing the sashimi/fish and the lady cooking the wontons; both were so sweet and friendly. The front desk even called to ask if I needed a complimentary late-night snack. It’s clear that the staff are well-trained, attentive, and hardworking. The location is unbeatable. When the weather is nice, it’s great for exploring on foot. You can easily walk to UNESCO World Heritage/national heritage sites like Qing'an Guildhall, Tianyi Pavilion, Shuize Stele, the Yongfeng Storehouse ruins, the Tianning Temple Pagoda, and the Old Bund Catholic Church at the confluence of the three rivers. Drum Tower, City God Temple, and Tianyi Square are also nearby. Plus, the rooms and elevator halls offer fantastic views of the city and the three rivers—the night view is simply stunning.

The family room is a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, and both bedrooms have TVs, which is very convenient. However, our room faced the road, not the Sanjiang River. I'm not sure if there are also parent-child rooms on the opposite side. The soundproofing is excellent, and we slept well. The room decor has an old-money style. The front desk service was very responsive and friendly. The parking lot is a bit old. The location is convenient; you can walk to Tianyi Square. The popular shops like Jimau Duitang and A Mao Restaurant are also within walking distance, and the food is quite good. It's easy to rent an electric scooter downstairs, and you can ride to the Old Bund, which is also not far if you prefer to walk.

My stay at Crowne Plaza NINGBO XIANGSHAN SEA VIEW by IHG was perfect, and it offers great value for money. Although the hotel has been open for a while, the facilities are well-maintained. Check-in was efficient, the staff were friendly, and requests were handled promptly. The cleanliness of both the guest rooms and public areas was excellent. The breakfast offered a rich selection and good quality. My butler, Xiao Zhong, provided thoughtful and strong service throughout, making the entire experience very pleasant. It's a highly recommended choice for your travels.

Choosing this resort for a family vacation with kids was definitely the right decision. The hotel is surrounded by lush greenery, making the air incredibly fresh. The dense vegetation around feels like a giant oxygen bar, perfect for strolls and letting the kids run around. This natural environment is super family-friendly; the kids have a blast, and the adults can relax too. It’s a perfect experience! 👍
