A new Holiday Inn located close to the river in Hangzhou (rather than near the West Lake, which is more popular). Found this hotel to be very comfortable and quiet. Good night's sleep! Staff helpful. There's a new international standard shopping mall less than 10 minutes walk away ... with a wide range of restaurants etc. Also cinema and ice-skating. I had only one issue with the hotel, that getting a taxi is a bit time consuming. Due to location, the hotel needs to call ahead. So if you have a specific appointment time, it's best to allow an extra ten minutes so the staff can call for a cab. Otherwise a very comfortable hotel. No complaints.

Booked this hotel on the Holiday Inn Website and found out that this hotel was opened on the 28th of May 2010.Decided to give it a try and intended to stay for 2 days 1 night but ended up extending our stay for 1 more night.It is kind off far from the ''city area'' where all the shopping malls are.Roughly around 5-15 mins taxi ride.It is also difficult to get a taxi in the area.Whenever we needed a taxi,we would let the doorman know and he would get to the main road and get a taxi.The rooms are great !Spick and span with a huge LCD TV.Service provided in the hotel was superior.Staffs would greet and assist you in whatever way possible.The person who was incharge of the swimming and and pool was really polite and easy to talk with.As for the internet charges,there was a slight confusion.Was told there was free internet access and used it.The next day,my friend called to confirm if there was free internet access.The lady at the front desk said that internet was chargable.I justed continue to surf the web and during check out,internet access fee was not on my bill.
Overall,this hotel is a great place to stay.
