Atour Hotel (Ningbo Tianyi Square)

Booked a queen room and got a free upgrade to a queen room facing Tianyi Square. The facilities are great, and the service is excellent. The room was clean and tidy, and the breakfast spread was very generous. They also offer late-night congee, and replenish toiletries daily. The location is incredibly convenient, right by Gulou metro station which connects to Lines 1 and 2, making it super easy to get to Tianyi Square, Chenghuang Temple, and the Old Bund. Highly recommend!

The location is great, close to Tianyi Pavilion, which makes it convenient for sightseeing. It's very clean and quiet. The kids' play area and late-night snacks are a big plus for children.

This was my first stay at an Atour Hotel, specifically the Ningbo Drum Tower branch, and its location is fantastic. It's just a 5-minute walk from Drum Tower Metro Station, and everything you need is conveniently close by. It's very near Tianyi Square, Drum Tower itself, and Tianyi Pavilion. The hotel staff, especially at the front desk, were incredibly polite. Breakfast offered a delicious mix of Chinese and Western options. There are tons of great restaurants nearby, including some of Ningbo's most popular seafood spots within walking distance. This being my first visit to Ningbo, I've developed a real fondness for the city and plan to come back often for the seafood.

Location: Super convenient! Google Maps said it was a 7-minute walk from the subway, but it's actually right across from Exit A, so it only took 3 minutes. Service: Atour is always friendly and attentive. They generously offered us a complimentary breakfast, and were very prompt in bringing extra amenities when requested. Breakfast: The restaurant is bright and the little flowerbeds outside are a nice touch. The Chinese options were more plentiful than the Western ones, and the vegetables were high quality. A big thanks to the auntie at the noodle station for her excellent service – the noodles, rice cakes, and rice vermicelli were all delicious. Ningbo's glutinous rice is definitely top-notch. The fried eggs were perfectly cooked – golden on the outside and runny on the inside. While the coffee wasn't super strong, it was much more palatable than the bitter coffee often served at many five-star hotel breakfasts. Surprisingly, the family room floor wasn't noisy at all, which suggests that parents visiting Ningbo generally do a great job of keeping their children well-behaved.

The room was clean and comfortable with excellent amenities. The front desk staff, especially the lady, was incredibly warm, thoughtful, and efficient. I had a great stay, making this my top choice for business trips. The lobby on the first floor also has a wonderful selection of books.

The hotel room was very clean, and we got a free room upgrade. The Atour Hotel's pillows live up to their reputation – my friend slept so well! Plus, the shampoo was unexpectedly rich and creamy, I'm totally hooked. The hotel is also super close to Tianyi Square and Chenghuang Temple, with tons of great restaurants nearby.

Had late-night congee for two, and the breakfast buffet was wonderfully varied. The room was clean and tidy, and the service was excellent, very thoughtful and attentive.

The location is super convenient, just a few steps from the Metro Line 2. The staff were really welcoming and proactively offered tips about the local area. The room facilities are top-notch, and the automatic water dispenser is a fantastic touch – you can get a drink whenever you like.
