We were well greeted and hosted by the hostel staff who recommended us places of interest to visit. Hostel is as good as a hotel room. Location is perfect for me who wanted to get away from the city and its so close to the famous lake.. Cab is reasonably priced here. Being further is not a issue. Managed to do some laundry but the dryer may not dry perfectly.

Close proximity to west lake , decent room and reasonable cost

Breakfast

great location!!!! right across to street to a hidden gem, almost felt like a jackpot!!!

Please be aware that there is no elevator if you carry lots of luggage with you. Also, the room is tiny.

the owner is sweet to prepare boiled egg and yoghurt for ME every morning when I go out for leisure. The bedding is good and silent of environment. Also it’s nearby the Westlake.

There’s no fridge that cannot buy any cold food or items when you wanna taste in the midnight. However, I think the owner won’t be kind of keeping it in their kitchen fridge. And also no lift that it’s quite difficult if your luggage is heavy or if disable to walk stairs.

The staff were very forthcoming and accommodating with our early arrival. Apparently they can prepare a western breakfast upon request, but I didn't use that option and instead went with the Chinese breakfast (mantou, congee, fruit). The location is great for hiking around the West Lake and up toward the Longjing tea plantations. The place was very clean.

The only thing I would mention is that you should bring an adaptor if you use Euro plugs. While I could use my Euro plugs everywhere else in China without one, the power sockets in this hotel seem to have issue transferring power to anything but Chinese power plugs.

- great location, very close to the West Lake and many other tourist attractions - the host is super friendly and helpful, she gave us many useful advices for our visit - foreigner friendly (not many hotels of this price near the west lake are willing to take foreigners) - great services and breakfast

the size of the room

A lot of things: kind welcome and services, quiet and convenient place, more familial and cosy ambiance,perfect location near the lake and the mountain

No door to separate Room and Toilet...could be a problem when sharing the Room but more about a cultural difference than a bad hotel standing;)!
