Kempinski Hotel Hangzhou

I have never been in a Kempinski Hotel and it was an extremely nice experience.. the room was very big and clean and modern . The staff were really friendly and they also let us to do a late checkout. Breakfast was very generous and delicious. We will definitely come back !

The hotel has a great room, except for the floors where it was coming loose and that was in all the floors throughout the hotel. The first experience when checking in, was not 5 star worthy. It was very busy and that can happen, but the number of staff seemed to be not enough also no drinks or such things were offered to ease the waiting nor was it suggested to leave the luggage and check-in later. The hotel is next to a big mall and close 800 meters to a subway. The hotel offers a great swimming pool and sauna. Compliments. A point of concern is cleaning throughout the hotel. The rooms are cleaned good, but gym dressing room and lobby did have items not cleaned for multiple days. In the evening we wanted to go to the bar and have a drink on the top, 14th floor, finding out that the hotel does not have a bar, which is not 5 star worthy. Overall, I believe there are better hotels in the city.

I rarely write reviews but I need to do this hotel justice. Apart from the design and comfort of the room and amazing facilities (including pilates reformer in the gym) the helpfulness of the staff is unparalleled and whoever runs this hotel has done an impeccable job. This is true hospitality. Would argue it has surpassed Four Seasons standards. I arrived at the hotel feeling a little drowsy and the concierge instantly asked if he could get me a drink. Checkin and checkout process seamless. Would come back to Hangzhou just to be able to stay here again. Will be hard to find a hotel that beats this.
