Grand Hotel

The hotel is in a prime location right in the heart of West Lake, which was incredibly convenient when traveling with elderly family members and children. You can access West Lake directly from the back of the hotel using your meal card, and they even have their own boat tours. The breakfast was delicious too!

The location, like other lakeside hotels, is pretty similar – very convenient for exploring West Lake. You can access the pier right out of the back door. The hotel even has its own boat, and guests get complimentary boat tickets and can book a ride. However, the room itself wasn't great. The gap under the door was wide enough to fit a finger, and the soundproofing was terrible. I could clearly hear the young people next door playing games. The 'sky courtyard room' design is quite unreasonable; what they call a courtyard is basically just a dirty, messy open space. Because there's a small river nearby, they even skipped building a wall, so there's absolutely no privacy. I couldn't relax at all from daytime until 9 PM because directly opposite is a commercial street, and the promotional ads for Mixue Ice Cream and the endless loop of songs from the 'day coffee, night wine' place next door were constantly playing. The breakfast offered a good variety, but it wasn't particularly refined. Still, you can definitely fill up and eat well.

Excellent location. This hotel, built in 1935, consists of three villas. The architecture and materials are top-notch, and the hallways are adorned with photos of famous guests and artwork. We were given a free upgrade to a West Lake view room. The restaurant offers stunning views of West Lake, and hotel guests receive complimentary West Lake boat tickets (valued at 100 RMB per person). The breakfast buffet is absolutely five-star standard, with a wide variety of delicious options like hot congee, wontons, steamed buns, and eggs – too much to even try everything! Right outside, there's an electric car service for 80 RMB per person, offering hop-on-hop-off lake tours with commentary. A 10-minute walk takes you to the West Lake light and sound show at 7:30 PM, and an evening stroll along the lake is incredibly pleasant.

The rooms in Building One aren't huge, but they're perfectly adequate. They provide all the essential toiletries, and the shower pressure is great. Breakfast is plentiful and tasty. The main reason to stay here is its proximity to West Lake – it's right outside the hotel! It's also close to Xihu Tiandi, so dining options are very convenient. It’s an ideal spot for older travelers looking for a relaxing stay.

The room is a bit small, but very tidy and clean. The hotel is located right in the West Lake scenic area, making it super convenient to explore West Lake, whether by tour bus or on foot. Dining and shopping are also easily accessible, with in77 right next door. I've stayed here multiple times already!

The room size is comparable to a standard room, well-equipped, and the staff are highly professional and friendly. The hotel is beautifully located by West Lake, and you can access the lakeside directly through the hotel's back entrance using your room key card. Breakfast is plentiful, and dining with a view of West Lake is a unique experience. This is a historic hotel, having hosted many notable figures from recent history, giving it a rich historical charm.

I visited Hangzhou with my parents, and I can't believe it's been almost ten years since my last trip, despite how close it is to Shanghai. I really shouldn't have waited so long! 😂😂😂 I spent a lot of time choosing a hotel this time, and I'm so glad I picked the Dahua Hotel – it was definitely worth it. It's right next to Yongjin Park and West Lake Tiandi. The front desk staff upgraded our rooms and arranged for both to be together. We stayed in Building 2, which was incredibly quiet. The hotel's back exit lets you scan your card for direct access to West Lake, and while it's not a private area, the convenience is unbeatable. Guests also get two complimentary boat tickets per room for the hotel's own boat tour, which departs at scheduled times daily, circling the lake. There's even an audio guide explaining the sights, which is fantastic! 👍 Plus, the weather was amazing these two days, and my family all thought it was a wonderful experience.

This hotel is right by West Lake, and the overall style is fantastic. The staff are super nice. The room was a bit small, but that's understandable given the location. They offer complimentary boat tickets for the lake upon check-in. You can access West Lake directly from the hotel's back entrance by scanning your room card. However, it seems none of the rooms have lake views; those were all given to the restaurant. The breakfast is among the best I've had at any hotel, and you can enjoy the West Lake scenery while you eat. Highly recommended – a must-stay if you're visiting West Lake!

Two-person, one-hour West Lake boat tour: Excellent! Not crowded, comfortable space, beautiful scenery, and an amazing experience. Facilities: Newly renovated, and the facilities are quite good. Environment: The environment goes without saying, it's a prime location with the hotel's own private lake-view area, which is a great advantage. Service: Breakfast was quite comprehensive and delicious.
