Linhai Huaqiao Hotel

Taizhou

The hotel is a business hotel near a lake, but outside the city centre. It offers exclusively Chinese cuisine. The rooms are generous and well equipped. The bathroom is very spacious.

Good hotel near a lake

A hotel that is imposed from the outside but the staff does not speak English. It is difficult to understand. A hotel suitable for Chinese customers but not international. Very large rooms, and beautiful. A very long bed, it looks like you sleep on a table. The mattress will be 10cm. Chinese breakfast and not international.

Seems to be fine but...

We've been to overseas hotel for 2 nights and I can say that is good enough for work proposal but not perfect for tourism. The building is very big but the breakfast room seems too small for all those customers. It's a very Chinese style hotel and restaurant. A little negative point is bed, too hard.


Good enough 

I stayed here as a part of a business conference last week. The hotel is big and has plenty of rooms, private dining rooms, conference hall and other facilities. The location was good and near a big lake. The Chinese food served in this hotel was good. However the hotel lacks in sleep quality. The mattresses were so hard that it felt like I was sleeping on a wooden top. Took 2 nights to get some sleep finally. The hotel also lack a gym facility.

Horrible bed mattresses

The room is big and comfortable. It even has a pc installed for your personal use. It has a great value for the price.
You can get a dinner at the 3rd floor. It has a good food and not pricey.
Breakfast is average, and not so many choices you can get.

Average breakfast, great room for its price

Hotel is an about 4 hour drive south of Hangzhou and an about 1 hour drive from Taizhou city.

Rooms are quite large, bathroom has a shower and a bathtub.

Electric plugs are next to the desk, but blocked by a WLAN router and a computer. You need to pull out one of them. Also there are no plugs (at least working ones) next to the bed. You need an extension cord of about 3 meters, if you need power next to the bed.

Rooms have carpets with the usual problem in China - dirt, plenty of dirt

Internet is LAN / WLAN based. There is a router in each room, so scan the WLAN, you find your room number starting with an 88... there is no need to log in and you can connect as many devices as you want. However the internet is slow. VPN works, but Skype and FaceTime only barely. In the early morning it is fast and nice to use, but who wants to get up at 5 AM?

Breakfast is simple, but OK. Even had some cheese available. Coffee was lousy. Better stick to tea. When I stayed there, there was no orange juice, just very sweet apple juice.

Beds are hard, very hard, extremely hard - actually normal for China.

And yes, it does help, if you speak Chinese. (even a only a little) 

The good thing is that you can open the window.

Good, but not really international standard

The hotel itself is fine, the rooms are spacious - but the beds are hard as stone. Maybe that's fine for mostly Chinese guests, not Westerners:-) Breakfast was a rather minimalist choice.

OK, but too hard beds.

The location is fantastic - with a lake (nice walk/run around it) and mountains right opposite.  During the 3+ weeks I stayed there, I was quite happy with the helpfulness & courtesy of the staff.  Admittedly my lack of Chinese-speaking abilities caused some minor issues, since there were only 2-3 among the staff who understood some English.  But, this was not a big issue at all.  The breakfast buffet was wide-ranging and very satisfying.  There is a lack of other restaurants nearby and I had to depend mostly on the one Chinese restaurant within the hotel for lunch and dinner.  The breakfast place is also open for dinner, but, it is pretty much the same food as in the breakfast and it is a pricey buffer for dinner.  Skip it if you can!  Since the hotel is located in the newer part of Linhai and not in the Old Town, there are not too many shopping or dining options.  A quick cab ride will however take you to Old Town.  The rooms in the hotel are clean and well-appointed.  The upper floors have softer beds and a bit more expensive.  The Executive floor (12th) is very quiet and has some desserts set up in the lounge at night.  There is no fitness center or pool at this hotel.  Another negative was the all-pervading smell of cigarette smoke - esp. in the elevators and some corridors.  Though smoking is not allowed, some guests do light up and that's an issue.  But, the rooms and the restaurants and the lobby were all smell-free.  Check-in and check-out takes some time, especially if you don't know Chinese.  Laundry service was excellent - give it before noon and everything is back by evening - even without specifying rush service.  The rooms are serviced twice a day...awesome!!  There are 100-odd channels on TV, but only 1 or 2 of them are in English.  The Old Town as well as the Ancient Great Wall of Linhai are only 4-5 miles away. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to stay, while in Linhai.
