Blossom Hill Chengxi Hangzhou

My stay at Hues Hotels & Resorts, Hangzhou Tangquan was truly beyond expectations – everything was just right! The room was meticulously cleaned, with every corner and the bathroom spotless. The bedding was soft and odorless, which made me feel very comfortable. Check-in at the front desk was efficient, and the staff were gentle and attentive, always ready to assist when needed. The concierge thoughtfully reminded us about hot spring etiquette and helped with bookings, which was a lovely detail. The location is absolutely fantastic: nestled against green hills and bamboo forests, and it's just a ten-minute walk to Qingshan Village. It's about a 40-minute drive from Hangzhou city center, so it's far enough from the hustle and bustle but not remote or difficult to find. Trying out a new holiday destination turned out to be a great success. I really didn't expect Hangzhou to have a place like this. Going for a morning run at the hotel was a wonderful experience. If you're looking for a peaceful holiday retreat, I highly recommend this place.

My experience was absolutely terrible. I booked a bamboo forest view villa for over 1,000 yuan a night, and the 'view' was exactly as shown in picture one... (It was nothing special). The room had an extremely pungent, strong smell of paint and wood. After just one night, my throat was inflamed. The cleanliness was alarming. The floor was covered in dead insects! There were also what appeared to be pet hairs, paw prints, and dust... Does the hotel not own a vacuum cleaner? And we checked in after 4 PM; the front desk even said, 'The room is ready,' so there was no emergency last-minute room preparation. (Even if there was an emergency, it shouldn't be this bad). The room's layout and design were a mess. The bathtub faced an area where people walked by (and during an evening stroll, I even saw some rooms with bathtubs facing the main road...). The large bed also directly faced the outside corridor, and I was woken up by bright light in the morning (picture 4). The soft furnishings in the room were also confusing; I didn't see any of the clever, thoughtful touches I'd expect from a 'Hana House' (Huajian Tang) property. I have no idea what the fake fireplace was supposed to be for. The routes for various activities within the complex were also strange; for a resort hotel, they seemed to completely disregard guest flow. The breakfast wasn't good either; the carrot juice tasted like water. I'm incredibly grateful I only booked for one night.

This hotel offers a great escape, with only minor flaws. It was rebranded from Dusit Thani to Hanjintang in late October, so the hardware is still excellent. I stayed in a panoramic king room in early winter. The Hitachi air conditioning unit in the room offers separate temperature control for heating, cooling, and fresh air, and it maintained a comfortable temperature. The bedding was standard, but the pillows were a bit too low, and there was no pillow menu. There are no screens on the windows, so a few small bugs might come in to explore; the hotel mentioned that screens are planned for installation. The hot water temperature was perfect for both baths and showers. I stayed from Saturday to Monday. On Sunday, with more guests, breakfast was a varied buffet with good Western and Chinese options. However, on Monday, I was informed that only a Western/Chinese set menu with made-to-order noodles was available. The service was proactive, the room was spacious, the air was fresh, and the design was outstanding. The nearby Qingshan Village is a haven for art and culture enthusiasts, so if you appreciate fresh, negative-ion-rich air, local farm-to-table cuisine, and a tranquil rural life, this is an excellent choice.

The decor is very new and comfortable. The shower gel, shampoo, and Laifen hairdryer are all great, and the bedding is super comfy, clean, and reassuring. The front desk service was very attentive and thoughtful. They provided shuttle service many times a day, always maintaining the best attitude. Very satisfied, will definitely come again!

In conclusion: Extremely low cost-performance ratio, not recommended! 1. Poor privacy: I booked the Bamboo Sea Mountain Villa package, but the courtyard is shared by three villas, separated only by a few bare bamboo poles, making it easily visible to others, with absolutely no privacy. 2. Terrible room design: I don't know if the designer even stayed there themselves. The bed and bathtub face the floor-to-ceiling windows, but outside the windows is a public walkway, making it impossible to open the blinds. Light also shines through in the morning, so I don't recommend it for people sensitive to light. 3. Poor hygiene: The disposable toiletries provided in the room included used body lotion; there were even signs of renovation and dust. The power strip in the picture wasn't secured, making it easy to cut your hand on the adjacent wooden planks. 4. Lack of facilities and services: I went in February, and the swimming pool was closed, and the outdoor hot spring bath wasn't heated. Shouldn't this have been mentioned beforehand? There were clearly insufficient staff, and their training was inadequate; the activities and experiences were practically nonexistent due to low occupancy. 5. Surrounding environment of the hotel: Qingshan Village is well-developed, but the greenery inside the hotel is bare, and there is a large pond in front of the lobby; not to mention the view from the rooms.

The air conditioning vents were not properly installed (complaints went unanswered), and we were disturbed by noise all night. The breakfast quality was worse than that of a business hotel. The hotel staff were unenthusiastic and unwilling to connect when asked. The hot spring was of poor quality, like hot water that never got hot. The swimming pool was not heated and was unusable in this weather. A terrible experience!

Overall, the hotel was quite nice. My wife, who pays attention to detail, really liked the design. The environment was beautiful, surrounded by green mountains; even a casual phone photo turned out great. The shuttle bus was readily available, and the staff were all very friendly. The minibars in the rooms were all complimentary, and the hotel was pet-friendly! It's perfect for families with furry children and dogs. The breakfast options were also very detailed, with a selection of dishes. Furthermore, the hotel's facilities were comprehensive, which is commendable for a newly opened hotel. The rooms were clean, and my child particularly enjoyed the bathtub. In conclusion, it's a fantastic staycation option in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region! Ideal for those looking for a short escape from the city to experience its slower pace of life – highly recommended!

The room was very comfortable, with soft beds that made me feel right at home. On a hot summer day, the lighting was warm and inviting, and a gentle breeze was blowing. It's a great place for a vacation.
