Dragon Hotel — Hotel in Hangzhou City

We stayed at The Dragon Hotel recently while on business in November for about 1 week. This was our first time in Hangzhou and The Dragon, and came away with very pleasant memories. There were no views of the Baoshi Mountains or West Lake from the hotel unfortunately.||Our room with its king bed was comfortable, technically well equipped and reasonably spacious. House keeping was pristine. The only frustrating part was that the internet connection kept dropping out.||This is one hotel where all its restaurants and eateries are consistently excellent, including the buffet. There are two that I would commend. The first is La Pedrera, a Spanish restaurant which we did not expect to find in He Dragon. The seafood paella was excellent and is at par as what you would classify a good paella in Spain. The second is XiXun Sha Yu a seafood restaurant tucked away at the end of a corridor of conference meeting rooms. There is a good range of choices on the menu but a real treat was arriving during the crab season in Hangzhou. Prices in both restaurants were reasonable and good value for money.||The location of the hotel seemed reasonably central to where we needed to go. In any case, it was around the corner from West Lake. ||This is a good hotel and I would return to happily if on...

We stayed in this hotel at the recommendation of a friend. It covers a huge area with 7 towers. At breakfast, we didnt see many people. But judging at the number of cars in the basement, this hotel is packed, perhaps with people here for conference. But you dont get a crowded feel. ||You certainly need transport to stay here, either taxi or your own car. Doesnt look like there is any interesting sites within 10 min of walking. Next to Navada hotel.||If you are Chinese or like Chinese breakfast, then the breakfast spread is quite impressive with crispy youtiao, porridge, noodle wanton soup, pancake. Bread. But no yogurt or bacon. Ask to sit near the window to admire the beautiful landscaped gardens. Its Japanese style with manicured trees, bridges and stone. The buffet dinner at D'Cafe is very popular with locals and on a Wed night, its packed.||Good coffee, and you can get Starbucks across the road. ||TV boasts good channels from CNA, Discovery, Bloomberg. ||A better business hotel than if you are here as tourist as its quite a distance away from shopping belt or West Lake and needs a 10-15 min taxi ride. ||Personally I...

The hotel itself and the hotel grounds are lovely! The lobby and amenities offered are top. The room was very nice as well but the air condition was not very strong. On a hot day it took more than 2 hours to cool down below 25 degrees. ||The tea was not replaced daily so we had to contact reception. Also, although they did their best to be helpful, the concierge staff were not very knowledgeable about local attractions/locations. When asked for directions to places in their tourist books/brochure they weren’t sure. I do appreciate their effort and manor but it always took a long time for them to look stuff up. ||There was very little English spoken but there was always a helpful guest around to assist when required. ||The location is not too far from the West Lake and around a 10 minute walk to the metro. Taxis are also...
