Hoteles de 2 estrellas en Zhejiang, China

En primer lugar, la limpieza del hotel era peor de lo esperado. Las almohadas todavía tenían pelusa. Además, las sábanas se desprendían fácilmente, por lo que dejaban al descubierto el colchón. En segundo lugar, la habitación tenía un aislamiento acústico deficiente. La calle sigue siendo bastante transitada por la noche, por lo que se oía el claxon durante toda la noche. Además, podíamos oír el agua cayendo en algún lugar, pero no sabíamos dónde estaba. Sin embargo, la ubicación es bastante buena. Por último, no nos proporcionaron papel higiénico ni jabón de manos durante nuestra estancia.

We are a couple from the Netherlands and spent 3 nights at this family run B&B.  We were friendly welcomed by granny. Since we were the first and only guests to arrive that day we could pick any room. We chose one room with 2 large beds at the top floor, close to a balcony with laundry basin and drying lines.  While waiting for her daughter Madam Ye and her grandson to come home we were treated homemade tea. Granny also led us through the village to find us a nice little restaurant for lunch.  The B&B is conveniently located in the middle of the village, in a block right accross the main square. On the road accross the square you can find small grocery shops and a few restaurants serving delicious local specialties.  Speaking about local specialties... Madam Ye prepares a delicious Chinese breakfast offering a variety of homemade dishes that go very well with the rice porridge and mantou. Fresh cooked eggs, fermented cucumber and turnip, various kinds of bamboo shoots, deep fried ricecake slices and some special glutinous rice snack called qingtun.  Madam Ye and her son helped us to arrange transport and assisted us with purchasing tickets to the Yunhe Terraces. We were picked up by a driver at 4:30 in the morning so that we could see the sunrise in time. Worried about us not having had breakfast that early, madam Ye got up at 3 am to make us a rich and filling breakfast. Such a kind, polite and hospitable gesture. We felt so bad we hardly had eaten any because we could not have the driver wait for so long. Madam Ye said we were fortunate we picked the correct date for seeing the sunrise above Yunhe Titian. We had an almost clear blue sky that morning. The next day it started raining.... But on that rainy day we were lucky again to witness a local festivity that only takes place once in every 5 or 6 years, where all villagers worship the gods of fortune.  The fireworks, the marching and music we witnessed it all. Indeed we felt lucky 😁 After our last dinner at a local restaurant just around the corner we came back at the B&B and agreed with Madam Ye what time we would have breakfast and what time her son would drive us to the bus station. She again mentioned how lucky we were because that evening a Chinese opera was performing at the local village hall. Together we walked up there and to enjoy some wonderful Chinese opera before walking back to the B&B again after having spent another joyful day at Chongtou village. Please visit this lovely little village in Yunhe County and stay in this lovely little family B&B. The village Chongtou, the Yunhe terraces and this B&B, our lovely little home there, will stay in our memories forever....

Es un alojamiento tipo Airbnb; no hay recepción. Pero el guardia de seguridad fue amable y servicial. Todas las instrucciones están en chino. Solo recomendado para viajeros expertos. La habitación estaba demasiado fría; esperamos más de media hora a que subiera la calefacción, pero después de 30 minutos nos dimos por vencidos. El anfitrión es muy atento e intentó cambiarnos de habitación.

El ambiente es muy bueno. El personal de limpieza es extremadamente diligente, encargándose de las habitaciones a partir de las ocho de la mañana. El baño y la zona de ducha también se limpian muy a menudo. Las áreas comunes son excelentes, con ventanas de suelo a techo que ofrecen unas vistas magníficas. Almorzar aquí es bastante agradable. La terraza es amplia y hay espacio de sobra para tender la ropa. La habitación, aunque pequeña, es completamente adecuada para que una persona descanse y duerma por la noche.

A perfect slice of authentic rural China – unforgettable stay with the most adorable hosts! ★★★★★ We feel so lucky to have come across Lixia and Sea Homestay. From the moment we arrived, we were completely charmed. What makes this place special for me is its sincerity. Every detail shows how much Lixia and Haibo want guests to feel welcomed, relaxed, and genuinely connected to village life. The young owners, Lixia and Haibo, are such a lovely, talented, and hard-working couple who got married not long ago and have just opened this beautiful homestay together. Their passion and warmth are everywhere. Haibo is a professional photographer and an incredible cook – every meal he prepared for us was fresh, seasonal, and absolutely delicious. Lixia is just as amazing: super energetic, thoughtful, and incredibly talented behind the camera. They also have the sweetest dog named One Two Three – a patient and gentle soul who quickly became our favorite companion. She joined Lixia in accompanying us around the village and along the ancient trails, adding even more joy to our walks. What truly blew us away was the photography and videos Lixia made for us. While we explored, she quietly captured the most beautiful shots of us among the old stone houses and ancient trails. At the end of our stay, she surprised us with two wonderfully edited short videos that perfectly captured the joy and laughter of our weekend. I’ve stayed at hundreds of places around the world and have never received anything like this – it’s a memory we’ll treasure forever. The rooms are spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with local touches. Every small detail – from the welcome fruit basket to the cozy fireplace at night – shows how much love and effort this young couple puts into making guests feel truly at home. If you want to slow down, eat amazing home-cooked food, have your trip professionally documented, and be spoiled by the kindest hosts (and their wonderful dog) in Zhejiang, book Lixia and Sea Homestay immediately. Thank you, Lixia and Haibo, for a memorable time! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and a thriving homestay ♡

”I recently had the pleasure of staying at [Hotel Name] for a few days, and I must say it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I checked in, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and memorable. The hotel itself boasts a charming ambiance and elegant décor, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking a touch of luxury. The rooms were incredibly spacious, impeccably clean, and exuded a sense of tranquility that allowed me to truly unwind and relax. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, providing a blissful night's sleep after a long day of exploring the city. The attention to detail in terms of amenities and thoughtful touches in the room was truly impressive. One of the highlights of my stay was the impeccable service provided by the hotel staff. They were always friendly, accommodating, and ready to assist with any request or inquiry. Whether it was arranging transportation, providing excellent dining recommendations, or simply engaging in a pleasant conversation, their warmth and professionalism made me feel like a valued guest throughout my stay. The hotel's location was also ideal, as it allowed easy access to popular attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas. I appreciated being able to explore the bustling cityscape during the day and come back to the tranquility of the hotel in the evening. Additionally, the hotel's facilities were outstanding. The fitness center was well-equipped, allowing me to maintain my workout routine even while traveling. I also had the chance to indulge in the hotel's spa services, which were truly rejuvenating and added an extra layer of luxury to my stay. Overall, my stay at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. It is evident that the hotel takes pride in providing a top-notch experience for its guests. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a luxurious yet welcoming accommodation option, complete with excellent service and a prime location. I will certainly be returning to this beautiful establishment on future visits.”

Todo genial, la instalación, el recepcionista. Quizás si pueda poner alguna pega es que había ruido por parte de otras habitaciones a altas horas de la noche. Por lo demás todo 10/10

El hotel está limpio, limpio, la habitación no tiene olor y no hay controles de habitación. Es conveniente registrarse. El precio también es hermoso. El personal de limpieza es muy educado y considerado. No hay pantuflas para bañarse.

In a nutshell, suitable mostly if you have no other options (or everything that’s affordable is all taken for the night). For me, what struck me the most (or shall I say not surprisingly, but still remarkably true) was the fact that two different staff members of the hotel (aka the two receptionists that did both shifts during my stay) did not speak a word of English! Like, LITERALLY not 1!!! And I know, I know “This is China” and “What do you expect in a 3rd tier city” but still, guys, it’s the 2026 goddammit, not 2006! Like, the city where the hotel is located is virtually the world’s capital of the home appliances trade!!! There are enough foreigners who travel and even reside in the city for every self respecting hotel manager to know better they they must hire an English speaking staff that would (very likely) have some foreign guests too. One more time: no one is expecting a native English speaking level or some PhD academic skills and capabilities, but at least BASIC English skills competency should be a MUST in any developed country, especially China. Brushing it aside, the hotel was OKish (considering the price range). It’s a pain in the ass to check in as a foreigner (it literally too half an hour, being questioned multiple times the most bizarre questions such as “Where are you from?” or “What brings you to YiWu: travel or studying”, “What’s your phone number” (considering the guy had my passport in his hand and I made the reservation online where virtually ALL this information was widely available). Had to take a picture of me twice (mind you, I actually reside in the same city!!!). I just had to move out of my condo for a short while due to construction work taking place there. Anyway, room amenities are ok and had no other hiccups than that. Mind you, you need to deposit/transfer 100 yuan as a “security deposit” which is refundable via WeChat/AliPay transfer upon checking out.

La higiene es excelente, la habitación está limpia y la ubicación es conveniente. El ambiente es tranquilo y agradable, la ducha tiene abundante agua caliente y el aire acondicionado funciona perfectamente. La cama es muy cómoda, quedé muy satisfecho con mi estancia. Está muy cerca del Lago del Oeste, a solo unos 10 minutos a pie. También está muy cerca de Intime, a unos cinco o seis minutos a pie. La calle Hefang y la Plaza Wushan están a poca distancia, al igual que el mercado nocturno de Wushan, al que se llega en unos 20 minutos caminando.
