Ningbo Hotels with Pools

First, the pros: 1️⃣ The pool was better than I expected; the water quality was decent, and I didn't need sunscreen in the shade in the afternoon! 2️⃣ The service was excellent, not overly enthusiastic, just right. 3️⃣ The bathtub deserves full marks! The room provided disposable bathtub covers, so hygiene wasn't a concern! Now, the cons: 1️⃣ The sofa and tabletops had many old stains. 2️⃣ The gym was old and dilapidated; the yoga mats were crumbling badly, and the stationary bikes were difficult to ride. 3️⃣ There wasn't much to do nearby; it was only suitable for relaxing.

The hotel is in a very convenient location, especially if you’re in town for a fair or exhibition, with plenty of shopping areas nearby. The room was clean and completely free of cigarette smell, which I really appreciated. Another thing I loved was the washing machine with an automatic drying function. It was extremely convenient, especially if you’re staying for several days, as you can wash and dry your clothes without having to go anywhere else. The staff were excellent — very welcoming, friendly, and polite. Their English was also very good, which made communication easy, and they were always happy to help throughout my stay. I was especially impressed by their professionalism and hospitality. The price was also very reasonable considering the location, facilities, service, and overall experience. Overall, I had a great stay here and was very impressed with both the hotel and the staff. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

♥️Room We were upgraded to a standalone villa – it was new, very quiet, and spacious, with a small courtyard! The twin beds could be moved together. The toilet, shower, and sink were in a separate area, and there was a dressing table too! ♥️Breakfast Most of the items were Ningbo specialties! Tangyuan (glutinous rice balls), wontons, handmade noodles, pancakes, sticky rice balls, wheat rolls, youzanzi (fried dough twists), douhua (tofu pudding)... everything was really delicious! The restaurant itself was very unique, with multiple doorways leading through, and even a wall covered in greenery. ♥️Service I felt their dedication even before checking in! We unfortunately encountered a typhoon, so they swapped out our outdoor activities from the package. There was a dedicated shuttle for check-in, and we received a fruit platter! The butler was also available 24/7. Other hotels often try to get you to spend more, but not here – they were always very thoughtful in helping us solve problems! ♥️Facilities If you're traveling with kids like us, this hotel is perfect! It has an indoor playground, a swimming pool, and intangible cultural heritage craft activities! There were also tons of activities during the summer (details in the photos). Outside the hotel, within 1.5 km, there are many shops, so it's convenient for food, drinks, and other necessities! We also received a 3-day free parking pass upon check-in.

A special thank you to YangZhuxiang, who took care of our room every day. She was always smiling, kind, and genuinely caring. You could really tell that she enjoyed making guests feel welcome, and her positive attitude made our stay even better. We also want to thank Aria, who was always friendly, helpful, and truly wanted the best for us. Every interaction with her felt genuine, and she always made us feel welcome. Finally, a huge thank you to Jay, who worked at the breakfast restaurant. My friend and I have special dietary requirements, and Jay went above and beyond to help us every single morning. He took the time to understand exactly what we could eat, answered all of our questions with patience, and always made sure we were taken care of. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine willingness to help made a huge difference to our stay. Thank you all for making our experience so memorable. Staff like you are the reason people want to come back. We truly hope to see you again!

🌿Environment: The hotel is nestled within the Jiulong Lake scenic area, surrounded by green mountains and a serene lake. The courtyard is lush with greenery, and water lilies bloom peacefully in the pond. Everywhere you look, there's healing natural scenery, and the air is fresh. It's truly a perfect place to escape the city hustle and relax. 🐰The pet park is a favorite for children! They can get up close to peacocks strolling around, fluffy long-haired rabbits, and adorable golden hamsters. My child spent a long time crouching in front of the glass enclosure, happily observing the little animals. 🏨Room: We stayed in a family room, and the space was incredibly generous with a comfortable ceiling height that didn't feel cramped. Besides the large bed, there were also bunk beds for children, adorned with playful cartoon bedding. The room even had a small children's tent, showing great attention to detail. It was perfectly spacious for a family of three or four. 📜The resort offers a wealth of activities. The hotel's guide map was filled with options: mountain hiking, sand digging, handicrafts, farm activities, ball sports, children's playgrounds... There are many free activities, and some paid experiences too. You can easily plan a full day of activities without even leaving the hotel. Nearby, you can also visit Mengjia Flower Sea and Xiangshan Jiao Temple, making it very convenient for short self-driving excursions.

Our top pick for a Dongqian Lake getaway! A special shout-out to our butler, Nicole, who not only upgraded our room for free but also granted us a late check-out! The hotel is right next to the popular 'International Lake House' sunset spot, and very close to Hanling Old Street, making dining super convenient. Nestled between mountains and the lake, its village-style garden design offers picturesque views at every turn. The rooms are spacious and clean, each with a scenic balcony and comfortable bedding. The service is thoughtful and attentive, and the shuttle service within the resort is very handy. The breakfast spread is rich and varied. Strolling through the grounds and enjoying the hot springs are both incredibly relaxing activities, perfect for escaping the city hustle. The hotel's body lotion is also excellent. We will definitely be back!

We chose this hotel for a rafting and summer getaway. It's quite remote, a drive of several kilometers up a mountain road after entering the ancient village. The entire route is very natural; if it weren't for the hotel's signs, we almost would have turned back. After about ten minutes of driving, the view suddenly opened up, and a large wooden house served as the hotel lobby. Each guest room is scattered throughout the mountainside, connected by wooden boardwalks. Along the paths, we saw lizards, squirrels, and various insects, and occasionally even water snakes in the pools. In the evenings, we listened to the chirping of insects, and in the mornings, the calls of birds – truly a unique natural experience. In the stream next to the lobby, there were schools of small fish, and my son got hooked on fishing and actually caught quite a few. The only minor drawback is that the hotel facilities are a bit outdated.

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.

Service: Let's start with the positives – the service quality was excellent. From check-in to check-out, the experience was great. However, I'm curious why the hotel insists on bottled drinking water; it's quite unusual and I worry about potential contamination at the opening. Environment: I chose this hotel with its beautiful, antique-style environment to avoid the crowds during the National Day holiday, and it didn't disappoint. Facilities: But the room had a few major issues. First, the bathroom didn't have a door, which caught me off guard. Second, the balcony curtain, as shown in picture one, was like this late at night. I believe sleep should be dark and quiet at night, but the curtain control seemed to be broken... You can imagine how difficult it was to sleep that night. Food: Definitely worth recommending – delicious! If I had one more reason to come back here, it would be the food. Other experiences: I booked a 60-minute spa treatment, which was good. However, perhaps because it was around 9 PM, there was no tea prepared when I entered; I had to ask for it. After the spa, the staff arranged a shuttle. I had just taken a sip of tea when the car arrived... let alone having a moment to rest. Well, I guess it was my fault for being too late...

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.
