Its location near the tourist attractions especially during weekend where is traffic control.

The breakfast n the friendly staff

Stayed in March 2025

We didn't know until our departure day that taxis can't drive into the village at weekends, so we had to get a bus to the airport.

Breakfasts were traditional style, varied and delicious. The location was in a quiet village neighbourhood, close to West Lake and the Lingyin Temple complex.

Nothing specific, we got a small room which was a bit tight for the number of luggage we had (2 big ones and 2 small ones), but everything was very doable.

We stayed in this lovely property for 2 nights. It was the perfect getaway after 2 weeks in big cities landscapes. Although Hangzhou is not small at all, the hotel is located in a peaceful natural area, very quiet but still close to important highlights such as the Feilai Peak. The best highlight of the property was the staff, which was a 10/10. The guy working at the reception was lovely and so kind to us, helping us many times with restaurant recommendation, ordering food to our room one night when it was raining and helping us carry our luggage to the bus stop (around 10 min by foot). The property also prepares every morning a free breakfast which is super local, quite different from what we’re used to, but we loved it. It was delicious and the overall feeling of being there was very home-y.

Beds remind me of similar beds I slept on in Japan - VERY hard (basically a raised wooden platform with minimal padding).

Very hospitable family running this quaint hotel. The neighborhood was picturesque, set in a wooded neighborhood retreat away from the city. Easy walk to Lingyin Temple. Staff speaks decent English, with a strong desire to understand and be understood - always smiling and so so friendly!

Getting a taxi out of this area can be a challenge due to traffic control. Either wait and flag one down by the main road or walk 10-15mins to the nearest DiDi pick up spot which isn’t great in 40 degree heat. Places in the city next to the lake may be more convenient for transport.

Nice rooms and staff. A more residential area to stay next to the lake.

bit of mould in the wall but there is an air cleaner

Great location, very close to the Lingyn temple and the west lake. Cozy accommodation, with a zen atmosphere. Lovely staff, the onces that couldn't speak English always used the app to translate.

No WiFi so had to use roaming.

Located in such a beautiful setting, rooms were spacious and clean for the price point. Lots of thoughtful details like home cooked breakfast being included and beautiful travel books about Hangzhou in multiple languages to suit a variety of travelers. Service was wonderful and very personal. The owners stayed up until 2 AM the day I checked in to respond to my WeChats after I had a long flight delay and ran into tons of holiday traffic. Although they have a good command of English, I was also really happy that they were willing to let me practice my Chinese and were very kind and understanding about my mistakes. Last, they have a lot of cute cats!

The walls were very thin!

Excellent location, beautiful small hotel in the tea fields. Very friendly and staff.

Nothing, it is well worth the money.

The place is located in a nice location, it is close to the temples to visit (few minutes walk). The room was nicely decorated and felt very cozy. More general the place is decorated with various types of arts pieces, which attracts the curiosity. A few minutes walk from the bus station to take a bus back to West Lake or downtown Hangzhou.

Nothing

The landlord is so kind and helpful.

Other travellers said it was difficult to find, but we just looked at the area’s overview map and found it straight away. You have to go up some steps at the back.

There are three lovely cats 😻 There is an amazing view, a brilliant vegan restaurant five doors downhill, lots of room to sit/read. The countryside setting in tea fields is beautiful. There is the Lingyin Temple tourist area next door with lots of facilities and good transport links. Our favourite place to stay on our journey is - we’ll be back!

We initially thought about staying only two nights in this accommodation, but after arriving at this beautiful place we decided to extend our stay. The accommodation is a great hide away from the busy Hangzhou and walking distance from the Lingyin Scenic Area. You will find a few restaurants in the neighborhood, but we highly recommend the vegetarian restaurant "Qing Chun Perma" - delicious food, high quality ingredients and still very affordable. The host is extremely friendly, helpful and can communicate in English. A cherry on the cake was the outstanding dinner that the host offered to us. For all the Italians out there, be aware that the breakfast is very traditional and therefore not sweet;)

A little hard to find, u have to go up a staircase and the numbering isn't very clear

Cute cats and staff very friendly. Breakfast was simple. They upgraded us to a nicer room.

Stayed in March 2024

One of our room lighting was a little dim, but minor for me.

Rooms was clean and comfortable, with a zen and local vibe. Walking distance to the famous ling ying temple and tourism areas which was a plus. There were some restaurants and convenience store nearby as well. The town was really beautiful early in the morning and at night when lights were lit. The breakfast was exceptional, healthy, tasty and filling which gives us more energy to tour around HangZhou. Owner of the place was very helpful too which gave us local tips and also assistance in buying high speed rail tickets when we were leaving from HangZhou to SuZhou. They also prepared breakfast for us earlier in the morning, outside of breakfast hours so we could catch our train in the morning.

Was a bit difficult to find it initially, you might need to ask the locals.

The host were adorable ( and I am not just talking about the two cats). The breakfast was simple but fulfilling and you can ask more for those with hungry belly. The room was clean and comfortable. It represents the amazing old Chinese traditional house. I loved the colors, warm tone and very relaxing. The hotel had some hidden zen spots ( an outside garden and an internal court with many plants), great for pic or morning relaxation

The room smells a little bit humid, but I know it's the local weather that makes the indoors smell like this. Opening all windows after getting in will be helpful.

The staff are super friendly and always there to help. It's located in a quiet village near Lingyin Temple, within walking distance to get there. We enjoyed breakfast with local and fresh food.

Location, climbing stairs to reach the place

Location wise is not very good as it’s located further in where there’s not many food or shops around. It would b better to take didi (cab) when going out / going back. However, besides that, staffs are super friendly! Breakfast was delicious too! (the most typical traditional Chinese breakfast ive had in China). Staffs even help us carry our luggage down & waited for the didi to arrive ! The stay were cozy & theres cats around too!

The smell of the bathroom.. it was pretty bad. it’s tricky to find as it’s slightly behind the property and a few steps up from the road.

Great staff extremely helpful. Loved the breakfast

It is a very welcoming place with a garden. The staff are very helpful; breakfast is amazing. We are a family of four. We enjoyed the two rooms on 2nd floor with a connecting lounge. It was perfect for us.

Room was a little small and the 'balcony' didn't quite look like in the photos.

Breakfast was good and overall a very chill place to stay. Cat is very cute and playful. Hosts made a local dinner for us on our last night which was very nice.

Just to note (not the guesthouse's problem though) that to get to the guesthouse, you will need to climb a flight of stairs. The guesthouse is also easily missed as it is not along the row of other houses on the road.

The location of the guesthouse is in a quiet area (staying amongst locals as well as some other guesthouses). There are some small marts and eateries nearby too. I only had breakfast once but it was filling and good - it included porridge with small side dishes of vegetables, tofu, boiled egg, steamed bun etc. The staff was also friendly and helpful. There were also 2 very lovely cats :) My room was really nice and had everything I needed (toiletries etc). I wish I had more time to spend chilling in the guesthouse/in my room. Located close to all the West Lake sights, so recommended for those who are intending to spend more time in this area.
