XiaopingziliyoudaodacaihongTaking advantage of the tail end of summer vacation, I brought my daughter to Qiandao Lake for a family trip. After comparing several options, I chose this hotel, and our three-day, two-night stay was perfect, truly one of the top parent-child resorts in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai area. I genuinely recommend it to all parents traveling with children.
The hotel's location is excellent, occupying a central lakeside peninsula of Qiandao Lake. It's surrounded by the lake on three sides, offering expansive views. From the popular photo spots on the 5th and 6th floors, you can directly face the beautiful Qiandao Lake scenery.
My only regret was that since we were traveling with friends, our travel dates were set a bit last minute, and we couldn't book two lake-view twin rooms. We had to settle for two landscape-view twin rooms. I want to thank our butler, Ziva, for specifically reserving two of the largest landscape rooms for us. The children had so much space to run around; the rooms were truly super, super spacious. Next time, I might choose a lake-view room for a different experience.
The hotel provides a complete set of complimentary child-friendly items: a children's toilet seat, non-slip footstool, baby toiletries, small slippers, and a bed rail. The thoughtful details exceeded our expectations. The room and bathroom were clean, tidy, and odorless, and the toiletries were high-quality – Bulgari bath products, which was a nice touch! The sheets and pillows were soft and breathable. Our butler, Ziva, even thoughtfully mentioned that if the pillows were too soft, harder ones were available, which was very considerate. After a busy day, we slept soundly, and the soundproofing was excellent; we couldn't hear any noise from the corridor.
The most amazing part was the hotel's 3,000-square-meter children's playground. This was the highlight of our trip and our favorite feature. It's incredibly spacious, and both toddlers and older children can find something fun to do. My daughter played in the ocean ball pit with the multi-story giant slide dozens of times and didn't want to leave. The dinosaur sandbox was equipped with a full set of digging tools and was clean and free of debris. There was also a carousel, a princess dress-up area, and a building block craft area where little girls could try on various princess dresses for photos. The playground is staffed by dedicated supervisors, provides free non-slip socks upon entry, and has clean restrooms and water dispensers inside, allowing parents to relax and unwind. In addition to the indoor playground, there were mini go-karts and a VR arcade on the basement level, which older children also enjoyed. On the first floor, there was also a screening room and an arcade, where I managed to win quite a few dolls for my daughter.
The hotel also has large outdoor water activities and an indoor heated pool. Unfortunately, my daughter had a bit of an upset stomach before we left, so we couldn't experience them, which was a shame. Every evening at 7:30 and 8:30, there were two 88-meter-long water screen movies. The lights combined with the lake created an incredible atmosphere, and my daughter watched mesmerized. The only downside was that it was quite sweaty outdoors in the summer heat, but the good news was there were no mosquitoes.
Dining was equally delightful. The hotel's buffet breakfast offered a rich variety, with a dedicated children's area featuring steamed dim sum, yogurt, cartoon-shaped pastries, and fresh squeezed juices. The ingredients were fresh, and the restaurant staff were attentive, proactively bringing baby utensils. We also enjoyed dinner at the hotel's buffet Western restaurant; the dishes were fresh, complete, and the quality was top-notch. The hotel also provided discount vouchers for the buffet dinner, which saved us a good amount. It happened to be Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day) on the night we had dinner, and the hotel even gave us themed heart-shaped cakes, which was a very lovely gesture.
The entire hotel staff provided warm and thoughtful service. From the front desk check-in to the cleaning staff and the playground attendants, everyone was exceptionally patient with children. They proactively gave children small gifts during check-in, greeted my daughter whenever they saw her, and never pushed any sales, maintaining just the right balance in their service. Food delivery from outside was also convenient; orders could be picked up from a designated spot in the lobby on the first floor or delivered to the room by a robot.
Additionally, the hotel offered a complimentary travel photography session. The emerging travel photographers were excellent, preserving precious memories of our trip. They also offered a reasonable discount on the digital negatives when we selected our photos, which we appreciated.
This trip to Qiandao Lake with my daughter, thanks to Minghao Hotel, eliminated all the usual exhaustion of traveling with children. The huge children's playground, two pools, prime lake views, thoughtful child-friendly amenities, and meticulous, warm service were all top-notch. The value for money far exceeded other resorts in the same price range. Whether for a short weekend getaway with kids or a multi-day family vacation, it's perfectly suited. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Qiandao Lake, and I genuinely recommend it to everyone!
Finally, I want to thank butler Ziva again for her attentive answers before check-in and her enthusiastic and thoughtful service during our stay. The emotional value she provided throughout made me feel exceptionally welcomed and respected. I truly look forward to seeing her again on my next stay!

AlicequnaliThis place is practically a Kyoto-Hangzhou branch, several friends even thought we had gone abroad when I didn't share the location! From the moment we entered to check-in, everything felt so ceremonial: the hand-washing basin, water divination, welcome tea and snacks, making sachets, and a full introduction to all areas and activities. We were even able to check in early, which was a great help as a room was already clean. Right when we arrived, there were chilled noodles in the hot spring area, which were absolutely delicious! Since there were many adults and children in our group, we decided to go out for dinner. When we returned, we went straight for the hot springs. The amenities provided were from good brands and very comprehensive. It was my first time experiencing a Japanese-style hot spring, and it was quite a novel experience. Afterwards, there was delicious chilled milk in glass bottles. The kids had a blast in the hot spring lounge area, happily devouring fruits, snacks, drinks, and ice cream. After a round of fun, it was time for late-night oden. The adults were full and content, returning to their rooms to rest. The next day's nine-compartment breakfast looked small but was incredibly satisfying. This was truly an extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely unexpected and perfect hot spring trip. If you're coming to Hangzhou, you should definitely plan to visit this place! 😆

eric_zliThis hotel is located far from the city center, nestled amidst mountains and water, offering a fantastic environment. It's much more suitable for a vacation than hotels in the central lake area. The hotel facilities are exceptionally well-maintained; you truly understand the value for money once you stay here. Our butler, Felix, provided excellent service. The weather wasn't ideal this time, as we caught an 'autumn tiger' heatwave, making it hot and stuffy with no refreshing autumn breeze. I'll definitely plan to visit again in October next time for a more comfortable experience.

Guest UserThe overall experience exceeded my expectations! The hotel was very clean, the room was neat and tidy, and the details were handled beautifully, making for a very comfortable stay. The accompanying special activities were a delightful surprise, rich in content, interesting, and very engaging. The most memorable was the sound healing experience; the soothing sounds slowly unfolded, and I unknowingly relaxed and drifted off to sleep, letting go of all my fatigue. It was a healing and relaxing short getaway, perfect for those looking to unwind and destress. Definitely worth another visit!

This place is nice, but i would not consider it a hotel. It’s somewhere in between a B&B and a hotel. The rooms are pretty ok in size and come with balconies, the aircon is strong enough for the hot summer days. However, be prepared to be far from any food or drink delivery! It is really remote. It has a great view, although they tell you they have a hotspring it is man-made u could just order the room with a bathtub it will be similar, and not need to pay 500rmb for it.
The in-house food is not bad, I would recommend to order one day in advance. They also offer for 500rmb, barbecue services which i think is outrageous as it does not include food cost. The beds in the room are very very uncomfortable. If u have a bad back, just go for the international starred hotels.
They have huge big insects coming in at night, do be careful not to let any of them in at night.

DragonYThe most delightful surprise of our entire trip to Thousand Island Lake was our stay at Burrett. The hotel boasts prime lakefront views, lush gardens, and picturesque scenery everywhere—it’s far from the hustle and bustle of the city and incredibly peaceful. The grounds are well-maintained, and the environment is clean and elegant. Zhang at the front desk was warm and welcoming, providing thoughtful and attentive service while efficiently handling check-in and check-out. The guest rooms featured first-class views and met high standards of cleanliness. Falling asleep to the sights of the lake and mountains made for a perfect and relaxing vacation.

Typhoon 'White Dolphin' unexpectedly hit Hangzhou 🌪️, bringing relentless strong winds and heavy rain. I was originally so worried that our family trip would be ruined, but luckily, the hotel's customer service representative, Xiao Tian, provided attentive assistance throughout, instantly easing all my concerns 🥹! Definitely a five-star review ❤️.
The 'Dream Jungle' family suite we booked exceeded expectations 🌿. With whimsical jungle murals covering the walls, the room featured its own slide, a ball pit, cute mushroom stools, a king-size bed, and a children's bunk bed. Lele went wild as soon as we entered the room, completely oblivious to the pouring rain outside 🌧️. The stay included two children's buffet breakfasts daily and a choice of three theme park tickets. We opted for the 'Rotten Apple Park' on a rainy day, and my kid had an absolute blast 🎢.
The hotel's attention to detail in service was exceptional. Robots delivered meals and afternoon tea, and the fruit and tea snacks were exquisite and comforting 🍵. I highly recommend the hotel's travel photography service! Photographer Qing He was excellent at guiding us, capturing natural and stunning shots. From the pool and the rocking horse in the lobby to every corner of our room, the photos looked like they were from a magazine. I couldn't bear to delete any of them, so I decisively purchased the entire set 📸.
The central atrium's heated pool, surrounded by lush tropical greenery, created an amazing atmosphere. It's a one-stop destination for dining, entertainment, and fun for kids, all without leaving the hotel. Taking refuge here during the typhoon was so stress-free; it caters to adults while understanding what makes kids happy. Families with children, just go for it! #TyphoonGetaway

Elevemm52I specifically chose the Brettonwood Resort for my trip to Qiandao Lake this time, and the overall stay exceeded my expectations – it was absolutely fantastic! Our butler, Mei Mei, was incredibly attentive and deserves a special shout-out!
The hotel's location is excellent; I could enjoy the stunning lake and mountain views right from my window. In the mornings, there was a beautiful mist, and in the evenings, gorgeous sunsets. The scenery was truly breathtaking.
The front desk staff were warm and patient, and the check-in and check-out process was smooth. Any requests were handled promptly. The resort grounds are serene and elegant, with lush greenery and even a petting zoo. The kids absolutely loved feeding the peacocks, ducks, bunnies, foxes, raccoons, and piglets. It's also very pet-friendly.
The breakfast buffet offered a rich variety, especially the noodle and vermicelli station with a wide selection of condiments. They even had homemade chili and ginger, which was a real treat for spice lovers. Parking for self-drivers is convenient, and it's particularly well-suited for family vacations. This will be my top choice for Qiandao Lake; I'll definitely be back!

Front desk staff, Xiao Wang, contacted me in advance via WeChat, arranged the room beautifully, and even upgraded it for us. The hotel's service was excellent, basically fulfilling every request. Breakfast was also plentiful with a good variety. The mountain-view cave hot springs were quite unique, though it would be even more perfect if the water temperature was a bit higher. This place is suitable for couples and families with kids on a self-driving trip.

Xihuandaochuwan!
A truly perfect vacation! A huge thank you to Yingyue at the front desk for her warm hospitality! She upgraded our room for free, which was incredibly convenient since we were traveling with our elderly relatives. There was a shuttle bus for all our needs. The package we bought was a fantastic deal, including breakfast and dinner, and the accommodation was excellent. The hot spring was also very clean. I highly recommend avoiding holidays for a great experience. I'll definitely be back!!
