Shusheng. No.1 Courtyard of True Floor Heating (West Lake Lingyin Store)

It was my first trip to Hangzhou. I wanted to celebrate my husband’s birthday here and it was totally impromptu. What I was looking for: 1) a closer location to the West lake - to walk there, not to ride; 2) a balcony or courtyard; 3) and/or at least a beautiful view and surroundings; 4) as we love tea and really interested in Chinese tea culture, some tea plantation nearby could be a plus! Not many hotels seemed to meet my requirements and those which fit were way beyond our budget. Xunzhenshe hotel looked very pretty but their description was not very clear. Anyway, considering that I was booking our room just a day (!) before our arrival on Friday night, Xunzhenshe seemed to be my only choice with just two rooms left. To be honest, I didn’t expect much when we arrived. However, from the beginning the service was outstanding with a personal approach. At the hotel they greeted us as we were VIPs. Celia, an English-speaking lady, who contacted me after my booking, was extremely helpful. She gave us few recommendations about Hangzhou and the area nearby. She showed us the tea plantation just next to the hotel and a room where farmers were drying tea leaves - it was quite short but interesting introduction to the hotel environment. The hotel itself is owned and managed by a former architect. The building was built based on construction principles of the Song dynasty. As I understand, all ground floor units have their own courtyard. There is a parking lot, a tea room and a restaurant at the hotel. We were given a non-smoking one-bedroom apartment in a quieter part of the hotel and could enjoy our morning tea in our small but elegant courtyard. The apartment was clean with all necessary amenities. There was a kitchen and a dining room with a huge table (we didn’t use this room though). The breakfast buffet was included in the rate, however they offered mostly Chinese food (no problem for us as we love it). Our dinner and breakfast food were delicious! Also, we so much appreciate totally unexpected birthday presents to my husband. Upon arrival he found a little gift with a touching handwritten birthday message and then birthday noodles were served at the restaurant. So, it was very unique and memorable celebration! After all, I was really happy with my hotel’s choice. To conclude what we loved the most about this hotel: 1. Attentive and caring service 2. Nature and beautiful surroundings 3. Very good location: just next to the West lake park and bridges. Walkable distance to the famous night show Impression and Su Causeway. Not far away to Leifeng pagoda and Longjing and Meijiawu villages. 4. Good Chinese restaurant with a terrace just next to the tea plantation 5. Amazing tea Me and my husband had a great time in Xunzhenshe. Highly recommend it to those who love places with soul.

到店時房間未打掃出來，店家為了表示歉意立即給贈送了早餐券，管家君君送我們到房間，發了温馨提示，第二天入住還幫忙升級了房型體驗，房間是配的戴森吹風機，設施和服務都很好的，員工都很親切。

酒店房間住的很安靜，房間面積很大，私密性很好，房間還配置了戴森吹風機，設施設備很好的，管家君君服務熱情，安排的房間很滿意，每天 都有發温馨提示，酒店距離靈隱寺和西湖也很近，步行或騎行都可以，總的入住感受很好。

這次專門去靈隱，因此定了這家毗鄰的酒店。是我住過最安靜的酒店了，衹有對門一户會經過門前，因此非常幽靜。酒店服務也很到位，特別是管家君君。入住送了茶和糕點，晚上也送了助眠熱飲、眼罩、耳塞等，簡直是失眠人士的福音了。臨了還送了一個小擺件和一盒糕點～不錯！

房間很有調性，床🛏非常舒服，小院很愜意，餐廳味道不錯！很喜歡這裏，還會再住！🌹

酒店差不多在西湖蘇堤和靈隱寺中間，自帶的餐廳很不錯，早餐也豐盛。家庭房是兩層兩個衞生間，要是樓上茶台邊再放一個垃圾桶就完美了。
