EVEN Hotel Hangzhou West Lake by IHG

EVEN Hotel Hangzhou West Lake by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful stay especially we were bumped up to a huge premium room. Location was so convenient with a less than 10 min walk to In77 shopping area. Easy to call for Didi. The staff always had a smile on their faces and would walk towards us the moment they saw us walking towards the reception. We had parcels delivered n were strangely left at the pickup boxes in the building instead of hotel receptions. Staff were so swift and most helpful in picking them up. Even helped to call the delivery person as I didn’t know pickup must be within 24 hours. Well, hotel staff took care of it! Don’t bother buying water cos housekeeping was very generous giving many bottles daily. Plenty outside the gym too. Gym equipment were basic but enough for a quick workout after a big meal. Such a lovely stay!"
