I stayed there for three nights.  The hotel is constituted by a series of pavilions connected to a central lobby of grand allure.  The rooms are very simple looking, but comfortable. But this simplicity is clearly a designed feature wanted by the architect.  There is a feeling of Budhist temple in this hotel. The surroundings are beautiful (even in winter!), and it is a perfect location if you like to jog or walk before a day of work.  I had food (banquet) in the nearby restaurant (I suppose it is the restaurant hotel).  It was truly delicous.
The staff was very nice too.

Beautiful hotel with unique Chinese modern and antique mix

This hotel blends traditional Chinese architecture with the most modern hotel standards. Each room has a retreat feel about it. All rooms have good views, either the lake, the gardens or the canal, and whilst rooms on the ground floor have their own terrace - the best views of all three are achieved from the upper floors. There is a large extension due to open in the near future which will introduce spa facilities as well as a much larger restaurant. The hotels position in the centre of the city of Jiaxing on the South Lake makes it an ideal location to explore the city and the region.

A Peaceful Paradise

We stayed a night after Hangzhou as we wanted to see how different was the South Lake, and look at the old houses and streets. 

We had a very big room designed  tastefully in wood- traditional design. The  balcony opened to a view of the South Lake. Personal items were presented nicely in a cloth bag, japanese style. 

Location was great- literally next to South lake, so we could take an early morning walk around the whole lake and enjoy the birds and peace (about 1 hour very brisk walking will cover the whole lake). 

Not accessible except by cab and the hotel will readily call one for you to the entrance, so no issue. 

Front desk service was brisk and though not 5*, was not bad either. 

A good place to stay for a stopover,  especially for the lovely South Lake.  



Good local hotel just next to the lake

Stayed there for 1 night in Dec. Grand lobby awaited. Big Room with high ceiling. Toilet was big too and instead of using a glass wall to separate from the main room, it has a folding wooden window which was pretty unique. Plenty of TV channels but no foreign language ones. My room faced a part of the South Lake which was pretty especially in the morning. The Concierge was nice to help us get a cab after we checked out. In-room wifi was good. 

Not so nice was the experience with one of their staff during check-in - wasn't smiling when we approach her and after showing her the documents for check-in, she told us that we have to go to the staff at a few counters away : (. 

The other not-so-good thing was that you need to read carefully how to operate the TV and paid TV console before you can watch the programmes, Just remember, you need to operate the paid TV console by pressing its buttons before you can select the TV channel(s) from the remote control - Read the instructions in the room  :).

Also, while it's ez to get to the hotel from the airport and vice-versa, and from the hotel to town where taxi can be pre-arranged, it's the exact opposite if you are trying to get back to the hotel from elsewhere where you have to struggle (real hard!!!) to hail a cab back to the hotel!!!! You literally have to fight with the many other locals trying to get a cab. The cab drivers were picky on the locations they want to go to. So, avoid the peak hours and you may have better luck to catching a cab back to the hotel. If you are not too far away, you may try walking back which can be tricky. 

The other setback is regarding the toilet - looked clean but at the toilet bowl area, smelled of dried up saliva from the previous occupier. I hope it's just me who is sensitive?!

However, the saving grace was the peaceful 1H walk around the South Lake in the morning which was not crowded (try doing the same in the West Lake at Hangzhou and you will know what I mean). 

Unlikely to go back again till the entire area is more developed or at least till Metro train services are available in Jiaxing.

Considered Good for a home-run hotel

It was the second time for me to go there, the first impression was good. Breakfast not good enough, but like the location and room is room. Very nice surrounding and nice hotel, location is perfect, just along the south lake. But the reception service was terrible, the lady was in very unhappy face, very impatient for any request. If service were so bad, really made the whole hotel down to a low level. During my stay at the beginning of June, all facilities are not ready, not have swimming pool or gym. Really need more improvement in managing the hotel.
