Hangzhou Qizai Holiday Homestay (Manjuelong Branch, West Lake Scenic Area)

There is a lot of care and attention to detail in the hotel. The hostess was especially attentive and helpful.

The location is perfect if you want to be close to tea plantations and similar attractions. It’s very convenient to reach the Longjing section of the China Tea Museum and the village, either by bus or on foot (though walking requires some stamina). Manjuelong is famous for its osmanthus trees, which bloom in autumn, but the area still has a unique charm in spring. Hupao Spring, where you can get water for your tea, is also within walking distance or a short bus ride away. The service was excellent and went above and beyond. As soon as the staff found out this foreigner likes tea, they kindly invited me to enjoy tea together—even though my Chinese is very limited. It was Qingming Jie and they welcomed me with a delicious and fresh qingtuan. The room was exactly as shown in the pictures: clean, cozy, and pretty. The toilet and shower were excellent. Breakfast was also very good—filling and just right to start a day of exploring the tea hills.

Quaint homestay in a very good location! Reception staff (lady) was really helpful but another male staff was rather brusque. The TV in our room was not working and the female staff shifted us to another room at night when we realised the TV didn’t work. Amenities are basic but sufficient. If you are looking for a good value accommodation without frills but in a good location, this is it.

The hotel stay was really nice. It has a Japanese home deco. The location is excellent if you would like to stay in the middle of nature, away from the busy roads and city. Most importantly the staff is extremely helpful and thoughtful. They would go the extra mile to deliver on hospitality despite having language barriers, they were extremely patient and helpful. Really felt like I was living in a friendly home.

Very place for foreigners! Perfect location for people who want to dive in to beautiful and mysterious culture of Hangzhou! Highly recommended🫡

Hotel is very nice and clean. Room is a bit small and toilet is too close to the bed. Close to the West Lake and the neighbourhood is beautiful and quiet. The bird can speak, we loved it a lot!
