A must-stay hotel in Hangzhou!!!
Four Points by Sheraton Hangzhou, Longxi, the ideal choice for family trips 🎉
I traveled to Hangzhou with my one-and-a-half-year-old baby and elders, and chose Four Points by Sheraton Hangzhou, Longxi. The experience was fantastic, and I'd like to share my kid-friendly itinerary and hotel check-in experience with you~
I. Reasons for Choosing
1. Excellent Location: The hotel is located near the Qiantang River, extremely convenient for transportation, and very close to the airport. It's close to Metro Lines 4 and 6, as well as the Qiantang River Bridge. Although it's a short distance from the subway station, taking a taxi is very convenient. I took taxis throughout my trip in Hangzhou.
2. Comfortable Room Type: I booked a family suite, which is especially suitable for traveling with elders, eliminating the need for separate rooms. Although the hotel is a bit old, it didn't affect us much since we spent most of our time sightseeing, except for naps and sleeping at night. The stay was still comfortable. The room is equipped with a kitchen (we only used the refrigerator). The advantage of a suite is its spaciousness, making you feel at home.
II. Hotel Experience
1. Soundproofing/Hygiene: The hygiene was good, the room was very clean, and the check-in was reassuring.
2. Room Type/Layout: The bedroom area of the suite is not large, but the living room is quite spacious, with two bathrooms. Opening all the curtains, you can see a wide view through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The overall layout is reasonable.
3. Amenities/Facilities: The hotel amenities are complete and can meet daily needs. However, the gym facilities are indeed quite old; the screen of the only elliptical machine is black and white with a flickering screen, and the gym floor is uneven. However, breakfast is on the second floor, accessible directly from the lobby bar via a spiral staircase. The breakfast variety is rich and the quality is guaranteed.
4. Average Cost: The price is usually around three or four hundred, and you get bonus points during flash sales, making it very cost-effective.
III. Recommended Attractions
1. West Lake: Taking photos here on a sunny day is especially rewarding (I encountered a typhoon during my Mid-Autumn Festival trip, but fortunately, the weather was cool and not sunny, and it didn't rain). There are a lot of people here, but strolling along the West Lake with my family was very pleasant. We stopped to take pictures whenever we saw a place we liked, leaving many beautiful memories.
2. Zhejiang Museum of Natural History: Due to the rainy day, we chose indoor activities. Hangzhou has many museums, and after some research, this museum is especially suitable for children, especially for young children like my daughter.
3. Xixi Wetland: Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, this place is full of the charm of Jiangnan, and I highly recommend it. Taking a hand-rowed boat can instantly slow down the pace of life. We booked a package directly on Ctrip for 520 yuan, which included tickets, a boat ride, and tea and snacks for 4 people.
Overall, Hangzhou is a very suitable city for traveling with elders and children, and Four Points by Sheraton Hangzhou, Longxi, added a lot of comfort and convenience to our trip.
