【Overall Rating】

Combining all aspects of the experience, this stay received a score of 4.37, performing impressively among resorts of the same level.

【Surroundings and Amenities】: 4.2

Hangzhou Mùshǒu Xīxī is located inside the Xixi Wetland Park in Yuhang District, within easy walking distance to the core wetland area, boasting a prime location. As a resort hotel, its location advantage is significant and not remote. It is adjacent to the Impression City commercial area, with comprehensive shopping, dining, and other commercial facilities to meet daily consumption needs. The hotel thoughtfully offers special activities such as boat rides and cycling, which require extra fees but add rich vacation options for guests, further enhancing the fun of the stay.

🧹Soundproofing / Cleanliness

The hotel has good overall soundproofing; inside the guest rooms, external noise interference is minimal, allowing for a quiet environment whether resting or relaxing. Regarding cleanliness, both guest rooms and public areas are well maintained, with no dust or stains in the rooms. Bedding and towels are clean and tidy. Public areas such as the water-featured courtyard and garden paths are also kept neat, meeting the hygiene standards expected of a luxury brand hotel.

🏘️Room Type / Layout

This stay was in the Wangxi View Premium Suite B, covering 128㎡, offering a clear spatial advantage among suites of the same class, with a spacious and comfortable living experience. The room features a three-section parallel layout with clear and reasonable planning: upon entry is a spacious living area suitable for receiving guests or relaxing; further inside is a cozy bedroom ensuring sleep privacy; the innermost part is a fully equipped bathroom with smooth flow. The highlight of the room is a large outdoor terrace facing Xixi Wetland, allowing guests to enjoy pleasant natural scenery right from the window, providing an excellent viewing experience.

🛌Amenities / Facilities

- Room Hardware: The hotel opened in 2019, and the room hardware remains in good condition, meeting high-quality living needs. The room includes a bathtub, though the water filling speed is relatively slow, which is a minor area for improvement. The room mini-bar offers complimentary drinks, providing thoughtful convenience for guests.
- Design Style: The room design centers on simplicity and rustic charm, cleverly incorporating Japanese elements like shoji doors, paired with abundant dark wood materials and fabric furniture to create a warm and comfortable home-like atmosphere. The large green natural landscape outside the window complements the interior design, enhancing the room’s natural feel and aesthetic.
- Public Facilities: The hotel’s public areas were designed by Goa Elephant, perfectly blending modern architecture with the wetland landscape to present a unique visual style. The lobby’s water-featured courtyard is a classic design with strong recognition. The public area includes garden paths where guests can immerse themselves in the wetland ecology, breathing fresh vegetation and soil scents. Lush plants, tranquil water pools, and occasional flying water birds together create a pleasant natural scene. Additionally, the hotel has an outdoor swimming pool located by the forest creek with beautiful views, open mainly from June to October, allowing guests to plan their use seasonally.

【Hotel Dining】: 4.0

This stay experienced all the hotel’s restaurants, each performing steadily.

- Xiyin Restaurant: Specializing in Zhejiang cuisine, the dishes are consistently well-prepared, with flavors meeting general expectations for Zhejiang food, satisfying daily dining needs.
- Yueqiu Bar: Tried a special cocktail, which was average but provided a decent drink option for leisure time.
- Breakfast Service: Offered in a semi-buffet style, including both buffet and à la carte dishes. Although the selection is somewhat limited, the taste of both buffet and à la carte items is acceptable, ensuring guests start their day energized.

【Hotel Service】: 4.5

The hotel’s service was a highlight. This stay was pleasantly surprised with a direct suite upgrade, and staff kindly assisted with early check-in, greatly enhancing the experience. In basic service processes, the hotel was professional, with friendly and enthusiastic staff and timely responses. Additionally, nightly turndown service included complimentary snacks, showing attention to detail. The only slight drawback was a minor delay in room service delivery, which could be improved.

💗Other Tips

1. To enjoy the outdoor swimming pool, it is recommended to stay during the open season from June to October to avoid missing the pool’s scenery and usage.
2. Activities like boat rides and cycling inside the hotel require extra fees. Guests can consult staff in advance for details and pricing to plan their vacation reasonably.
3. For room service deliveries, it is advisable to contact the hotel ahead of time to allow sufficient preparation and ensure timely fulfillment of requests.

【Summary】

Hangzhou Mùshǒu Xīxī stands out among the hotels in Xixi Wetland thanks to its unique wetland location advantage, high-quality room and public area design, and professional, thoughtful service, fully demonstrating the strength of an SLH member hotel. If the hotel can further enrich its dining variety and dish uniqueness, the overall experience will be even more perfect.
