Family-friendly Hotels in Ningbo

This hotel sets the bar for service, condition, amenities and location impeccably appointed, the huge lobby is a welcoming at the end of a grueling day in Ningbo. Strategically located in a quiet corner of the Huaishu, Jiangbei district you are just steps away from great shopping, restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. Top notch staff is extremely courteous, professional and attentive.

Staying in this hotel was really the right choice for me. I am an English teacher and have been in China for six months. It was an enjoyable experience at the Ningbo Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel. The rooms have adequate heating, and we got fresh towels and water every day. Mengna's butler service is very good, she sent us milk and fruit as a gift to our room during Christmas. This hotel is really amazing. Ordering takeout can be delivered to the room door using A robot which makes it really convenient. It's worth a visit! The hotel is also equipped with a heated swimming pool and a gym, and spa. The breakfast was buffet and had a variety of things to eat. The rooms are spacious and bright and beautiful. I was placed on the 17th floor, which is a higher floor and very quiet. Great service, the staff are very friendly, I highly recommend it.

New Century Resort Jiulong Lake exceeded all my expectations and provided a truly enjoyable stay. The staff was incredibly friendly, going out of their way to be helpful and offering valuable tips on things to do in the area. 包智慧 was especially kind and helpful! The room I stayed in had a beautiful view of the water, giving it a tropical vibe. The breakfast buffet had a wide selection of delicious options, and the resort was very family-friendly. While it was a shame that the outdoor pool was only open in July and August, the indoor pool and hot tub were still great. The resort's proximity to the Scenic Area allowed for a day of exploration, with hiking trails leading to waterfalls and a lovely temple. The resort was surrounded by lush trees, creating a serene atmosphere that I highly recommend. The option to rent bikes and participate in various activities added to the enjoyment of the stay. I particularly appreciated the pleasant bonfire evenings with music, which provided a nice touch without being too loud. Overall, I highly recommend New Century Resort Jiulong Lake as a place to relax and unwind. It's conveniently located just a 45-minute taxi ride from the Ningbo train station.

Recently, we were fortunate to stay at Ningbo Xinyuan Meilun Hotel (Tianyi Square), and we felt quite deep for a few days. 1． This store is strategically located in the city center, within easy reach of Tianyi Square, Tianyi Pavilion, Yuehu Park, Zhejiang University Medical College First Affiliated Hospital, and Chenghuang Temple. 2. The layout of the rooms is reasonable, the facilities are well-equipped, and the guest experience is comfortable and convenient. 3． The service management staff is warm and thoughtful, and the guests are at home. 4. The breakfast environment is elegant, the variety of meals is wide, suitable for north and south tastes, and the guests are selective. 5． Highlights① The room is equipped with a high-quality water filter system, so that guests can enjoy high-quality drinking water at any time. The laundry room is fully equipped and the experience is excellent. We give the hotel a big praise!

Have little uncomfortable feeling during breakfast time owing guest without advance payment for that. The core reason is ”the waitress insisted, it's hotel rule and regulation, guest have to pay before eating”, this incident is happened on Aug 23,2023 morning section at 6F”, it's the first time shock me for more than 20 years travel and staying in hotel not only in Ningbo, but also all over world.

Top in terms of location, facilities, staff friendliness and room standards. Zero stars for the quality of the dining experience, I'm afraid. Mediocre local dishes hopelessly overpriced and way below average by Ningbonese standards. Could have gone to Hanling village down the road or a bit further into Yinzhou for the same or similar dishes at a tenth of the price (and better quality). We felt it was quite an insult and if it hadn't been rather late and we hadn't been starving, we would have gotten up again and jumped in a Didi. My workplace canteen offers similar local dishes at less than 10 kuai/dish (ok, not a valid comparison, I must admit, but even the most expensive local restos don't charge more than 50 kuai either and provide bigger size portions and tastier). The portions were tiny and starters were priced on average at 100+ kuai while the mains, the size of starters, were on average 220+ kuai. Hardly reasonable for some seasonal veggies and 10 tiny rubbery beef cubes. The white wine hadn't been cooled (happens all the time but kinda unexpected if you pay 4,000 kuai a night for a resort in one of Ningbo's prime locations) and it was a cheap bottle priced at nearly 80 kuai a glass. Having stayed in a variety of luxury lakeside venues across Zhejiang over the years, we were pretty taken aback. For me it was the worst value for money food experience during my entire time in China. We loved our suite, the fitness facilities as well as the architecture of the entire resort though. The service was pretty professional and friendly even though hardly anyone speaks English which is surprising given that this place is regularly frequented by non-Chinese speakers from the local areas nearby (and we saw plenty of those for lunch). Also, in comparison to similar properties across Ningbo and Zhejiang, the breakfast was the worst also. Never mind the continental and English style brekkies (sometimes difficult to get right, we get that), even the Chinese dishes were mediocre (such as the soups, fried items etc) which was surprising. Should we return (we practically live down the road), we'll not spend a single penny on food in this place.

The hotel covers a large area with lawns everywhere. The luxury villa we stayed in had 4-5 rooms in a villa. The room we stayed in was not that good. When we were walking the dog, we saw that the rooms next to us were better than ours. The front desk service is very good and the response is timely. We had dinner at the hotel on the first day. It was not cheap but tasted good. I feel that in Ningbo, the occupancy rate here is not high, and the hotel is quite remote, suitable for guests who like quiet. Because we play with our dogs, we like to have less people and quiet. It takes 20 minutes to drive to Hanlin Old Street, but the old street has no characteristics, so it is better to just walk around in the hotel. The breakfast was not very good. The freshly cooked wontons and beef noodles were very ordinary. Due to the low occupancy rate the next day, the breakfast was not a buffet but a set meal. The pet cleaning fee for 3 dogs is 300, which is not expensive.

Great location and staff! Attentive to our needs and somehow we never feel like we’ll go hungry here. Special shout out goes to the lady who kindly helped us to place an order for food delivery (it was cold and pouring outside) - much appreciated! Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for accommodations in Ningbo ☺️

The hotel facilities and services are very consistent with those of a five-star hotel. When I went to Ningbo on the weekend, it happened to rain, so I had to stay in the hotel for 2 days. Fortunately, the hotel has a good view and complete facilities. The restaurant provides a variety of buffet dinners and breakfasts with various ingredients. Fresh and overall feeling very comfortable. The hotel has a large underground garage, and parking is very convenient. I took photos of the night view outside the window, which is beautiful!

Sure, it is a stunning resort and overall we enjoyed the experience. However it is far from perfect. A few issues to consider: 1) I booked a deluxe room and relying on the picture I was expecting a sofa bed on the balcony. There was no sofa bed! Bummer. 2) The bathtub is quite small, mostly for one person. 3) The guest rooms feel/are quite distant from the lake. The view is so so. 4) The resort is not really on the lake, there is a road separating it from the lake. so no rooms or villa really on the lake. 5) They mention a shuttle bus to nearby Hanling old street, but it was only running every 2 hours and needed booking... a bit complicated for a 4 minute ride. 6) The main building with the lobby has very limited facilities. Just a small deck for outdoor dining. Overall ok, recommend to book on a weekday when the price is cheaper. I give 5 for service because it was a busy weekend and personnel was all very professional and efficient, but I did not experience anything exceptional. I tried the high end Chinese restaurant that was good and also the breakfast in line with a 5 star hotel.
