West Lake Ele Jane Hotel (Longjing Guiyu Branch)

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi cet hôtel peut facturer 800 yuans par nuit. Les équipements des chambres sont très basiques et dégagent une légère odeur de moisi. La couette est très humide. Les portes des toilettes et de la douche sont transparentes. La porte de l'hôtel n'est pas ouverte 24h/24. par jour. Si vous souhaitez rentrer chez vous au milieu de la nuit, vous avez besoin d'un interlocuteur pour vous ouvrir la porte. La clé est que l'hôtel n'est pas adapté pour séjourner le week-end. Il y a un contrôle de la circulation dans la zone pittoresque le week-end. Vous devez marcher environ un kilomètre pour vous rendre au point de taxi. Il n'y a pas de navette pour l'hôtel. Il semble être très proche de diverses attractions, mais en fait ce n'est pas le cas. Ce n'est pas pratique pour se rendre n'importe où.

We stayed 2 nights at Ele hotel and it was a fantastic experience. The area was more secluded but it was close to nature and quiet. The service was really good and I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast at the 2 resident kitties were adorable. Highly recommended!

Ele Jane is in a very good and convenient location. Very close to the Longjing Tea village and in a natural environment. It is like staying in the forest within the city, which is a short DiDi ride away. DiDi’s were easy to hail and we never had to wait long. Our room was upgraded at no cost on arrival. We arrived early and left our luggage at the hotel to go explore the area. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful and gave us very good advice on what the area offers. We connected on WeChat and they were fairly eager to try to communicate in English too despite the language barrier, we appreciate their efforts. They provided us with an English tourist map of the area and advised us on the bus routes etc. As can be seen in the photos the room was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was healthy and enjoyable. Limited options but nice. Two suggestions. Provide your foreign guests with the hotel’s location pin and DiDi address. We found it challenging to find the hotel’s address in the DiDi app when we arrived at Hangzhoudong railway station (about 15km away from the hotel.) Once my husband’s DiDi got lost and he was dropped off at an entirely different address. Another suggestion. We stayed two nights and the room was not made up the second day. We were a bit disappointed as it is the first hotel we stayed at that did not provide this cleaning service. We were also disappointed that the swimming pool and hot tub was under maintenance because that was one of the reasons why we booked the hotel in Trip.com. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay. Another bonus was that the beds were comfortable and soft. The hotel is also pet friendly. Not a lot of activities offered for families with small kids, but is is close enough to many other attractions.
