Xixia Xiaozhu Boutique Hote(Xihu Duanqiao shop)）

Location was perfectly at west lake and rather convenient to didi around. Our room was one with the lake view- but honestly the exterior was unkempt and not well maintained so it was just blocks of trees blocking as we were on a low floor (~3). Requires walking up flights of stairs too so be mindful of your luggage. It’s more of a 民宿 so there wasnt really security guards either and technically the food delivery person can literally walk up and leave the food outside your room door. Rather safe still! Just that there’s a few homestay here and location wise for a driver - not the easiest to spot. Other than that - pleased with our room stay, area is big, toilet is big! Additional 2nd bed is kinda a tatami one so not the softest but we added cushions. Nonetheless still happy with the stay :)

Xixia Xiaozhu Boutique Hôtel is quite unique by its location : located inside the historical site of Hangzhou West Lake, we enjoyed the calm, the harmony of the lake view from our room, and the best conditions to walk, enjoy and visit ! We enjoyed also the fact that the hotel is also unique, as you stay inside the buildings of a former temple : everything there is authentical. In this charming place, of course, no escalators, no lifts, simply chic and use the stairs the monks climbed for centuries ! Our room had the charm of traditional furnitures with a quite complete set of modern equipment (TV, WiFi, air cond., heating, minibar, tub...) The personal were always available to our needs, and always took care for our stay. The hotel has also a nice and excellent terrace restaurant, were we tasted an original and sophisticated Chinese 'cuisine'. As we are French, we specially appreciated !

the location was great, right in front of the lake, but everything else is quite limit. The american breakfast is not available, however, the chinese breakfast was not too bad. There is no coffee available.

Right next to West Lake!
