Hanlinyuan Hotel

The facilities are very outdated. The shower drainage was terrible; I was practically standing in a pool of water during my shower, which was quite unpleasant (the photo was taken after my shower, so some water had already gone down). The hotel's ambiance is nice, which is probably its only redeeming quality. The breakfast was acceptable. However, I wouldn't stay here again unless they renovate.

This is a truly beautiful garden hotel. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean. Even though it's surrounded by lush trees and waterside pavilions, we weren't bothered by many mosquitoes, and you can even feed the fish. The rooms were excellent, and the surroundings were very peaceful. The service from the young staff was outstanding. The complimentary fruit was delicious; both the peaches and grapes were incredibly sweet. The buffet breakfast didn't offer a huge variety, but everything was delicious. The location is also fantastic, right on the old street, making it super convenient for dining and sightseeing. Xuecheng Kaopeng (Imperial Examination Hall) is right at the entrance, and attractions like Chaoyang Tower, Wenmiao (Confucian Temple), and Lin'an Prefecture Office are all just a 10-minute walk away. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with every aspect. Highly recommended – we'll definitely be back!
