Romantic Hotels in Hubei, China

First, the pros: The natural scenery at this hotel is absolutely breathtaking, making even the West Lake State Guest House seem modest in comparison. The boardwalks throughout the hotel are also beautifully maintained. If you're looking for peace and quiet, there's no need to visit the East Lake Scenic Area nearby – this place *is* the scenic area. While staying at the hotel, you can also visit Mao Zedong's former residence. There's a restaurant next to the residence with an impeccable dining environment, which I unfortunately only discovered upon checking out. The hotel's east gate has a bus terminal where you can catch a bus to the museum, Yellow Crane Tower, and Tanhualin. It’s a great way to enjoy the city views while traveling. There are also many restaurants nearby. Now for the cons: The facilities are a bit dated. The outlets in the room are very loose; I could only charge my devices in the bathroom. Also, there are so many mirrors that it constantly created visual illusions. There's no elevator access to the rooms for breakfast, so I had to climb stairs every time. Despite these points, I still highly recommend this hotel and hope for improvements.

Everything about the B&B facilities and decorations is very romantic and full of literary and artistic a**osphere. The words ”Heart Lake” and the artistic decorations are very good when you go down the stairs. It's great to visit an art gallery. It's perfect for making tea around the stove on rainy days. It's very pleasant to listen to the rain and drink tea among the mountains and rivers. The large glass windows in the room seem to be in the middle of the lake. Haha, it's very comfortable. If you have enough time, wouldn't it be better to relax here for a few days? Very satisfied and worth staying again!

The hotel's location is fantastic, just 200 meters from Bagongfangzi, making it perfect for a city walk. You can easily reach Li Huangpi Road, Qingdao Road, and Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street on foot! The front desk staff are wonderful, all lovely ladies who provide thoughtful and attentive service. The hotel rooms are very clean, and the housekeeping aunties are also great. I especially loved the double vanity in the bathroom – perfect for getting ready with a friend, haha! The bathroom and shower are also thoughtfully separated (wet/dry design), which is a big plus. Overall, the hotel offers excellent value for money and I'm very satisfied!

This century-old building boasts a stylish interior. The en-suite bathroom in the room is like something out of an executive suite. My room faced the inner courtyard, so it was quiet, and excellent value for money. The staff were attentive and thoughtful. The lobby, coffee bar, and terrace all have fantastic ambiance. I loved listening to the bells by the river, and in the evening, a 200-meter walk to catch the 1.5 yuan ferry across the river offered a stunning view of the sunset and the changing light as the city lights came on – absolutely beautiful! The morning chimes of the Jianghan Customs House transported me back a hundred years. The hotel even thoughtfully provided complimentary coffee and afternoon tea, along with travel photography to capture those lovely moments. Travel is all about enriching experiences, and the Good Century Meilun is so worth it. Next time I visit, I'll definitely stay here again! Ambiance: Stylish and chic.

Marco Polo Wuhan: An Unexpectedly Great Stay at a Classic Five-Star Hotel **Reason for Choosing:** When booking a hotel, location was my top priority, and the Marco Polo certainly delivers. However, after browsing online reviews, which were a mixed bag of good and bad, I was a bit hesitant. Then I remembered the Hong Kong Marco Polo, a long-standing establishment I’ve always held in high regard. Trusting in the reputation of classic hotels, I decided to go with this one. **Location:** Absolutely unbeatable location. The hotel is right next to the Yangtze River, and just across the road is Jiangtan Park, perfect for a pleasant evening stroll – it has a bit of an old Shanghai Bund vibe. Next to the hotel is Lihuangpi Road, a charming street with many cafes, also reminiscent of Shanghai. The entire riverside avenue features old, historic buildings, and the view of the buildings across the river from Jiangtan Park is simply stunning. **Room:** I booked an Executive Floor room, which offered a view of the Yangtze River. The hotel underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2024, so while the room's layout retains a classic hotel style, the soft furnishings, carpets, and other elements are all new, making for a very comfortable stay. The room size was also quite generous. Many online reviews mentioned issues with the rooms, but I was extremely satisfied with mine. **Executive Lounge:** The Executive Lounge was the highlight of my stay. * **Ambiance:** The lounge boasts excellent river views and a fantastic atmosphere. The table linens and decor transported me back to the golden age of classic hotels – I remember a time when staying on the Executive Floor meant checking in separately at the lounge, enjoying breakfast there for peace and quiet away from the crowded main dining area, and having afternoon tea and happy hour. Nowadays, many hotels cut these services to save costs. We had just come from the Grand Hyatt in Changsha, where they’d even stopped offering breakfast in the Executive Lounge. So, it was truly satisfying to see that this hotel still maintains the high standards and style of a classic hotel. * **Service:** The Executive Lounge staff were incredibly attentive. I can honestly say it was the best service I've experienced in an Executive Lounge at any 5-star hotel in recent years. The staff genuinely went above and beyond to meet every guest's request. A special shout-out to Xiaoxiong (Fairy)! * **Food & Beverage:** The afternoon tea and Happy Hour selections were abundant. The breakfast was even more impressive, featuring an à la carte menu. This truly embodies the customer-centric philosophy of a classic luxury five-star hotel. **Service Philosophy (Special Commendation):** In an era where many five-star hotels have completely forgotten their fundamental goal of “serving guests” and prioritize cost-cutting, the Marco Polo stands apart. It continues to uphold its service philosophy, truly embodying the essence of a luxury hotel. This dedication is incredibly touching and highly commendable. **Overall Impression:** This stay was unexpectedly wonderful. It offered great value for money. All the negative issues I had worried about from online reviews didn't materialize. I will definitely recommend this hotel to friends, and if they visit Wuhan, especially Hankou, this will be my top recommendation.

Our hotel stay completely exceeded expectations. Even at the May Day holiday inflated price of 800 a night, I felt it was excellent value for money. But then I found out the regular price is less than 300 – oh my goodness! Everything about the hotel, from the facilities and decor to the cleanliness and service, was top-notch. The location is superb; you can easily walk along the river to Yellow Crane Tower, the Yangtze River Bridge, Liangdao Street, and Tan Hualin. The owner has fantastic taste; I especially loved the lobby and room decor. The restaurant's ambiance was perfect, so chill that even after dinner, we decided to head back down for a drink. I wholeheartedly recommend this thoughtfully run hotel to all my friends visiting Wuhan.

We chose the right hotel for our trip to Yichang! As soon as we entered the lobby, we were greeted by soothing music, which instantly washed away our travel fatigue. The atmosphere was incredibly comfortable. I especially want to commend Xiao He, the front desk assistant. She was so kind and patient during check-in. She not only provided directions to nearby attractions but also provided helpful weather updates. The service was thoughtful and heartwarming, making our stay a truly memorable one. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Yichang! The laundry service was also a welcome addition, adding to the comfort of our trip. Plus, the hotel is super close to the snack street, which is incredibly convenient!

1. There are no windows, only a skylight or patio. The advantage is that it is quiet for sleeping, but the disadvantage is that people who have just returned from prison or have claustrophobia may not be able to adapt to it. 2. The location of the hotel is OK. It takes ten minutes to walk to the east gate of the ancient city. There are buses at the hotel entrance. Bus No. 1 and Bus No. 23 can go to Jingzhou Museum. 3. When booking a room through the Ctrip app, two free benefits were upgraded: one, free room type upgrade; two, check-out was delayed to 16:00. When checking in, the clerk told me that I could check out before 14:00 the next day. I asked for my benefits upgrade, but she checked and told me that I could check out before 4:00 p.m., but the actual room type was not upgraded. I checked out at around 12:00 the next day, so I didn't really need to upgrade these benefits. However, since I have upgraded my benefits, why can't I get them? Is it the platform's problem or the hotel's problem? 4. Parking is free after scanning the coupon at the front desk. There are no restaurants or breakfasts near the hotel. You can walk to Wanda or go to the ancient city.

Fantastic river view and attentive service from all staff. The breakfast was rich and delicious, and the room facilities were brand new and complete. The smart devices were easy to use, and the bathroom had a separate wet and dry area. The room also came with an air purifier and an oxygen bar, making for maximum comfort. The front desk staff were warm and professional, handling check-in efficiently and patiently answering all questions. My entire experience was perfect, highly recommended!

Great service, fantastic facilities, and excellent cleanliness. The breakfast was decent too. The front desk staff were particularly wonderful, I'd definitely come back again! Ambiance: Very good, really nice. Cleanliness: Excellent, very clean. Service: Front desk service was superb. Facilities: Very complete and top-notch.
