The room was spacious, clean, well-furnished. Bed was extremely comfortable and wide.Bathroom was large with both shower and a very big bath tub,hot water running immediately which is what you want from a 5*hotel and on a cold day!Had foreign tv channels-not always a given even in top hotels in China! Reception was happy to replenish our water and fruit bowl, however we got a shock when a staff member INVITED herself into the room insisting that she had to put the items on the table herself as opposed to just passing them to my husband-very awkward situation that I have never experienced before, certainly not in a 5* hotel. The only issue with the room was very thin door-I could hear every noise coming from the hallway, conversations, music, all very clearly..Location is good as it's right next door to a shopping mall, cafes and restaurants, and a walking distance away from a large shopping area with even more restaurants and fancy shops. Bus stop right outside, if you want to go to West Lake. I was slightly put off by the receptionist as... well.. she wasn't very welcoming, just a blank face. I started the conversation, in English (as I would expect staff in an international 5* chain to know a good level of English), but she seemed uncomfortable and after a second turned to my husband to speak in Mandarin, completely ignoring me for the rest of the check-in even though the room was in my name...Hmm not the best customer service...
