Shusheng. No.1 Courtyard of True Floor Heating (West Lake Lingyin Store)

It was my first trip to Hangzhou. I wanted to celebrate my husband’s birthday here and it was totally impromptu. What I was looking for: 1) a closer location to the West lake - to walk there, not to ride; 2) a balcony or courtyard; 3) and/or at least a beautiful view and surroundings; 4) as we love tea and really interested in Chinese tea culture, some tea plantation nearby could be a plus! Not many hotels seemed to meet my requirements and those which fit were way beyond our budget. Xunzhenshe hotel looked very pretty but their description was not very clear. Anyway, considering that I was booking our room just a day (!) before our arrival on Friday night, Xunzhenshe seemed to be my only choice with just two rooms left. To be honest, I didn’t expect much when we arrived. However, from the beginning the service was outstanding with a personal approach. At the hotel they greeted us as we were VIPs. Celia, an English-speaking lady, who contacted me after my booking, was extremely helpful. She gave us few recommendations about Hangzhou and the area nearby. She showed us the tea plantation just next to the hotel and a room where farmers were drying tea leaves - it was quite short but interesting introduction to the hotel environment. The hotel itself is owned and managed by a former architect. The building was built based on construction principles of the Song dynasty. As I understand, all ground floor units have their own courtyard. There is a parking lot, a tea room and a restaurant at the hotel. We were given a non-smoking one-bedroom apartment in a quieter part of the hotel and could enjoy our morning tea in our small but elegant courtyard. The apartment was clean with all necessary amenities. There was a kitchen and a dining room with a huge table (we didn’t use this room though). The breakfast buffet was included in the rate, however they offered mostly Chinese food (no problem for us as we love it). Our dinner and breakfast food were delicious! Also, we so much appreciate totally unexpected birthday presents to my husband. Upon arrival he found a little gift with a touching handwritten birthday message and then birthday noodles were served at the restaurant. So, it was very unique and memorable celebration! After all, I was really happy with my hotel’s choice. To conclude what we loved the most about this hotel: 1. Attentive and caring service 2. Nature and beautiful surroundings 3. Very good location: just next to the West lake park and bridges. Walkable distance to the famous night show Impression and Su Causeway. Not far away to Leifeng pagoda and Longjing and Meijiawu villages. 4. Good Chinese restaurant with a terrace just next to the tea plantation 5. Amazing tea Me and my husband had a great time in Xunzhenshe. Highly recommend it to those who love places with soul.

來杭州很多次了。這次選擇殊勝尋真1號院，位置很好，去靈隱寺步行即可，對面就是杭州花圃人少景美，穿過花圃到郭莊 友好公園 趙公堤…酒店房間面積比一般民宿大，床品舒適。酒店有自己的餐廳，也對外營業，菜品味道很好。管家小呆給升級了家庭套房，感謝！杭州景美，杭州人人善心美！

酒店環境很好，在西湖景區裏面，距離靈隱寺和西湖都很近，很方便我們出行。管家圓圓服務很貼心，幫我們免費升級了房間，房間設備齊全，還帶一個小花園，院子外面的梅花開的很漂亮，很愉快的一次出行

清明假期入住酒店，前台小姐姐君君熱情接待。 由於旅途勞累身體不適，君君特意提供茶水和葯物。每天都有入住水果，琴茶體驗課很有特色！

這次專門去靈隱，因此定了這家毗鄰的酒店。是我住過最安靜的酒店了，衹有對門一户會經過門前，因此非常幽靜。酒店服務也很到位，特別是管家君君。入住送了茶和糕點，晚上也送了助眠熱飲、眼罩、耳塞等，簡直是失眠人士的福音了。臨了還送了一個小擺件和一盒糕點～不錯！

這家的早餐非常豐富，麪食不用説了，還有自己磨的豆漿。可以在茶園吃中飯和晚飯，空下來可以去。茶室聽周老師彈古琴
