- Xuehua (10/5): Literally it is a hotel that has accommodated some renowned world leaders. - Everything. In particular the masterpiece of the hotel complex's design, its location and high quality of facilities and services. Nothing
- Erik (10/5): -
- ka kin (10/5): Fantastic place! - The private garden is second to none!
The sunrise view at West Lake is simply incredible! The check-in instructions were not clear: one has to proceed to building no.8 first before proceeding to the building you have booked but this step has never been mentioned

- Wenying (10/5): A beautifully maintained property with excellent views and service. - The hotel offers many spaces within the grounds to enjoy the scenery, which makes it easy to relax without rushing around. Service was attentive and professional, and the dining, shopping, and salon options on site were all of very good quality. A comfortable and well-balanced stay overall.
- HONG (10/5): -
- CBG (10/5): Second time and we are definitely coming back. - If presidents and foreign dignatories have stayed and held meetings here so can we ! Some rough edges around the service staff. More training and information cascade.
Staff need to think on their feet. The more experienced ones can teach and mentor. China has great potential to be there with Japan and the Swiss in terms of hospitality.
- Geok Mui (8/5): Would have been perfect if not for the room temperature. Overall is still good. - Love the jacuzzi bath and the clean bathroom.
We requested for a driver and car for our two days trip, Driver 白师傅was accommodating and patience. I wanted to shout out to one of the staff 孙建龙who had gone way and beyond to help reserve our visit to the temple when I had trouble with the reservation app. Breakfast was pretty good. Room was smaller than expected for the price paid. Our room was very hot (30 degree) even with a fan, so we had a hard time sleeping for the first night. Second night was much better but it is still warm.

- David (6/5): Pleasant -
- Julia (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful property, amazing gardens and fantastic hotel rooms
- Peng (10/5): Exceptional -
- Siew (10/5): Treated like a VIP with luxurious amenities and landscaped compound - It’s absolutely beautiful, like a tourist attraction on its own with its own history and culture, residing on a very large compound facing the West Lake, with beautiful landscaped gardens and villas. As we stay at building 7 which is far away from the main building 8, we are glad that there is a reception at building 7 which makes it very convenient that we could get taxis and do our checkouts.
The room is beautiful. The toilet floor is heated and so is the toilet seat, which makes it comfortable to use in winter. There are luxurious accompanying toiletries and room facilities.
It is a perfect resort to relax in with a private part of the West Lake to enjoy. To get to other places, one would need a taxi as the attractions are rather too far to walk. But it is possible for taxis to ride directly to the building where we stay which makes it convenient.
- David (10/5): Beautiful setting, great location and great breakfast! - Incredibly beautiful location on the west shore of West Lake. Beautiful grounds - like staying in a nature park / Chinese Garden. Breakfast was an amazing bounty of Chinese and western dishes - everything was fresh and expertly prepared. Great location for visiting the West Lake region. Everything was incredible!

The absolute best place I've ever stayed in my 50 years of life. You'll see that many world leaders have stayed here because of the traditional and beautiful property and grounds. The breakfast was first in class. Walking around the grounds is a joy in itself. Security and safety is of utmost importance to the hotel and it shows. I needed a tutorial on how to operate the toilet seat. Had so many features an options. It was pretty advance. I didn't know how to turn off the feat feature. Controls were in Chinese and I couldn't figure it out. Probably showing my age a bit on this.
