Huzhou Hotels with Bars

The room design was great, and both the elderly and children loved it. They even thoughtfully provided eye masks. The room had a smart smart control system and underfloor heating. Both the indoor and outdoor views were fantastic, especially the hot spring in the bamboo forest. The service was excellent; they responded immediately to every request, even late at night – thank you so much to the young man! Initially, the guesthouse had stopped providing underfloor heating for the first few days of our stay because it was getting warmer, but on the day we arrived, it got a bit cold, and my child liked to walk on the floor without slippers. The owner kindly turned the heating back on – thank you! We had dinner at the guesthouse: chicken soup, braised bamboo shoots, and braised catfish. The auntie cooked it very well; my elders still rave about it afterward, haha. Breakfast was rather home-style, but the auntie's soft-boiled eggs were delicious, and the young man's hand-drip coffee was also very good. One small suggestion: could the guesthouse consider allowing guests to choose between regular towels and disposable towels in the future? My child only made this suggestion about the towels, haha. Also, it would be even better if there was an absorbent mat in the bathroom. Overall, it's good, pet-friendly, and I recommend it.

Our two-day 'retreat' with my mom and grandma has come to a perfect end! A big thank you to our butler, Xiao Liu, for the thoughtful arrangements. He upgraded our rooms and every meal was delicious. The elders in my family are always so happy when they're in a natural, mountain setting. The rooms were spacious and had everything we needed – we didn't have to prepare a thing. Plus, there were charging stations for our electric car, so all we had to do was relax. We'll definitely be back!

Our family's first summer trip – Naked Stables. Our little one rushed to Moganshan right after school, still in her uniform! Even though it was the rainy season, it had its own unique charm. **Environment:** Secluded and tranquil, with various standalone round houses or villas nestled in the valley. The landscape design ensures excellent privacy. There are also plenty of activities, making it a great place for a holiday! **Facilities:** The in-room amenities are all excellent, and the minibar is well-stocked. Even the chargeable snacks are delicious! On rainy days, it's perfect for enjoying tea and snacks in the room. However, the bathroom in the round house felt a bit small, and the shower facilities were located on the balcony, which was inconvenient to use on rainy evenings. My elderly parents had no choice but to use the bathtub, which was quite inconvenient. Later, we discovered the water heater wasn't working. The butler responded quickly, but it took an hour to fix the hardware, and still no hot water. The duty manager then proactively and very thoughtfully came to check on us and kindly moved us to another room where we could finally enjoy a comfortable hot shower. **Service:** The butler service contacted us by phone before check-in to pre-register our license plate, allowing for seamless entry without stopping. The hotel also offers a wide range of entertainment programs for both adults and children. Our child loved it, quietly enjoying handicraft activities and horseback riding. Our little girl especially adored it and rode for half an hour each day during our two-day stay. **Exquisite Naked Stables Souvenirs:** The cups are commemorative, and each room area is named after an animal. The various merchandise sold in the lobby is also very appealing and meaningful; we bought some to take home! **Restaurants:** There's an Italian Western restaurant and a Chinese restaurant, both with good food. The set menus at the Western restaurant were decent, and à la carte options weren't expensive.

I particularly loved the ESG concept of Banyan Tree. After much deliberation, I chose a day when the afterglow of the white dolphins was still present to come to Anji for some water fun. With both young and old in our group, and considering the kids' boisterous age and the elders' preference for quiet, we opted for a courtyard villa with a private hot spring. The night before check-in: A butler (Summer) called to confirm our arrival time the next day, specific arrangements for our group, and any special requests. She also proactively shared information about the hotel's dining and entertainment facilities, as well as recommended nearby attractions (a detail worth praising: travel time and operating hours were clearly marked). Check-in: We arrived at the hotel after 3 PM on the day of check-in. A staff member offered us cool towels and welcome tea, which indeed helped alleviate much of the summer heat. The green pastry also looked quite refreshing. As it was peak summer season and our booked villa was one of a back-to-back sequence, we waited for about 15 minutes. During the wait, a staff member offered us white tea to taste. Our group spent time outside the Lobby bar, where we could take in a panoramic view of the outdoor pool and the hotel's staggered architecture, with perfectly placed greenery. Our butler, Summer, and a concierge staff member drove us to our room in a buggy. The villa numbers in the villa area gave a sense of 'a journey unfolding, with a promising future.' We stayed in 2020, and the privacy was excellent. It was a one-bedroom, one-living room layout with a high ceiling, visually about 5 meters. Even during a thunder and lightning storm that night, there was only a very subtle sound inside the room, demonstrating the careful selection of soundproofing materials. The private hot spring was in the courtyard, constant temperature with massage jets. After a 'special forces' day of activities, sitting by the pool and massaging our legs was incredibly relaxing, so much so that we didn't even use the large bathtub in the bathroom. The first round of the mini-bar was complimentary and generally met the needs of a family, with milk for the kids, 'happy water' (soda) and beer for adults, and juices for health-conscious individuals. The hotel also thoughtfully provided a dehumidifier and air purifier on the first floor to address humidity and air quality. The two gentlemen in our group found it particularly convenient to step out into the courtyard for a smoke whenever they opened the door. There was turn-down service every night, which included stress-relief squishy toys for the children. If I had one minor suggestion, it would be more convenient to have another phone in the living room. Wi-Fi connection was easy, but the speed was average. The soft services at the hotel were excellent. Every staff member we encountered had a proactive service mindset, and when walking in the villa area, they would thoughtfully greet guests and offer directions. We went to the outdoor pool in the late afternoon, and it was truly beautiful. The children had a great time in the kids' pool, while the indoor pool was relatively neglected. Breakfast was at the Shang Fang Thai Restaurant. Every night, Summer would thoughtfully remind us of the dining times and peak hours to avoid crowds and enhance the dining experience. The outdoor area of the restaurant was particularly impressive, with water stations for dogs and a spot for practicing Ba Duan Jin (a type of Qigong). The indoor buffet stations were concentrated, with a rich variety. I particularly liked the pho, which had a light flavor. It's worth mentioning that the front and back of the restaurant worked seamlessly together; there were no food shortages even during peak hours, and the chefs were very willing to interact with guests and were friendly to children. The bedding was very comfortable, and towels, etc., felt brand new, having been updated in July, offering an excellent user experience. Men's and women's toiletries bags were separately equipped with razors, cotton pads, and shower caps, addressing everyone's differentiated needs. My husband really liked the scent of the shower gel and plans to look for the same one at home. The room's blackout curtains were very effective. Waking up in the morning and opening the curtains to enjoy the green view outside was truly wonderful – this must be the meaning of hard work, haha. On the second evening, small peacocks delivered a turn-down surprise. Opening the window revealed beauty (they were actually seeking shelter from the rain). Soon after, the staff escorted them back to their coop. Hehe, a testament to the staff's efficiency. My butler was still sending reminders for the next day after 10 PM every night, and then early in the morning around 8 AM, she sent comforting messages and inquired about a convenient time for room cleaning. These were actually her personal non-working hours, which speaks to the dedication of hotel staff. Thank you for your efforts. I hope this humble sharing can help everyone solidify their choices.

Travelers beware! The photos advertising Ke Gamer do not resemble to actual room and the food is horrible. I opted to upgrade to the private hot spring villa for close to 4000rmb a night expecting a high class experience but was instead highly disappointed! We arrived on a Saturday and reserved a table at the restaurant, famished from traveling and expecting a wonderful meal. They did not mention that this was a set menu (only for the package that was included with the room) so there was no option to select my dishes nor to explain our gluten free diet. First bread came (couldn’t eat it, gluten) then a mushroom chicken soup that was difficult to swallow. Over salted and the chicken was rubbery. Then came there version of a kimchi that was ok. Shrimp next that was battered (gluten) and smothered in mayonnaise, and then an over salted spicy beef dish and inedible veggies dish.At this point we decided to leave and opted instead to pay for food delivery. When we shared this information with the assistant helping us he messaged me saying you are a foreigner would you prefer chicken wings or a steak. I’ve been living in China 10 years and never spoken to so rudely. My gf then wanted to have a soak in the hot spring and have a fire because the rain had stopped but she was told no they could not do this for us that night. That’s when I added the wechat and she deleted him so she would no longer have to talk to someone so rude. We did find it strange that even though I was now in communication with him he still attempted to friend my gf several times, very disrespectful!! After I explained how unsatisfactory the service was to that point he made more of an effort and we did get to enjoy a relaxing evening outside. The next day we stayed away from the restaurant not wanting to have that experience again so ordered delivery service again, decent food for delivery. We did attempt the on site restaurant one more time before checking out for breakfast and this was awful as well. Cold eggs, bacon and sausage. They did have a nice assortment of breads which we could not eat (gluten) so we had a yogurt container and coffee before leaving. One part of the stay was an assistant driving us into town to a nice tea shop. He took us tot he location and offered to help us select a shop. He was very friendly and helpful inside the shop to explain the differences in teas and get us a good deal. We ended up purchasing 2 boxes of tea to take home. Overall I did not enjoy the stay at this overpriced and falsely advertised hotel. This is certainly one case when we did not get what we paid for. Wishing you better luck than we had.

Since I stayed at both Naked Stables and Naked Castle, and booked Naked Stables through their official mini-program, I'll provide a comprehensive review of the rooms, environment, dining, and service to offer more reference points for your choice. **Rooms:** At Naked Stables, I stayed in the rammed earth hut on the hilltop, and at Naked Castle, I had a cliff-view suite. In terms of rooms, the rammed earth hut felt a bit dated, while the cliff-view suite offered a superior view. **Environment:** Before visiting Naked Castle, I absolutely loved Naked Stables. Even after 15 years, its 'wild luxury' concept still leads the pack. However, after going to Naked Castle, I grew to prefer its hilltop scenery, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the mountains. **Dining:** At Naked Stables, we dined at Tian She, and at Naked Castle, we ate at the Paotailou Chinese Restaurant. Tian She at Naked Stables was a clear winner; their home-style dishes were exceptionally well-prepared. In contrast, Paotailou Chinese Restaurant had no distinctive features and wasn't even particularly tasty. **Service:** Relatively speaking, Naked Castle provided a more detailed service with a one-on-one butler, Xiao Yang, in addition to their official customer service. However, both resorts lacked standardized training. For instance, regarding departure gifts, which were clearly included in the booking, Naked Stables didn't offer one during check-out. After I brought it up, they gave me one cup, and then another when I mentioned that others received two. Naked Castle, on the other hand, asked me to choose a color beforehand, which was great. But then why were the sizes different between the two resorts? I found that very odd. The smaller size given by Naked Castle was less practical. I experienced travel photography at both, from the same company. I preferred the photos from Naked Stables, and their customer service was also more accommodating and polite. **Friendly Reminders:** The round bed in the rammed earth huts at Naked Stables only has a bathtub and no shower, so choose carefully if you're not a couple. The mountain road to Naked Castle can be challenging for new drivers, so please drive safely. Also, Naked Castle had many insects at night that I'd never seen before. Furthermore, for a luxury hotel priced over 3000, it's unheard of for the mini-bar to separate non-alcoholic beverages and snacks, making only the soft drinks free. It's either all free or nothing. Why offer some items for a fee and some for free, then place them together and expect guests to scan codes to figure out which is which? Guests paying this price typically don't mind spending a bit extra on food, but it's truly a hassle…

This hotel is great, Treasure Island theme, cabin style, very special; the whole villa is still under development, the concierge brother drove us to visit the whole mountain with a battery car, and patiently explained, the scenery is beautiful, if all the development is completed, it will definitely come back to see; The service here is absolutely five-star, from the front desk to the concierge to the restaurant, it feels absolutely at home. The view in the room is also very good, spacious enough, even the snacks and drinks prepared in the refrigerator are also very high-grade; breakfast is a luxury package, Chinese and Western combination, can not be finished at all. This is one of the few hotels that have stayed in recent years.

This guesthouse has so much character! The owner clearly put a lot of thought and effort into the design. The massive, floor-to-ceiling bookshelf instantly brings a sense of calm, which is especially welcome on a hot summer day. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, browse books, read, or simply have a moment of quiet reflection. Oh, and the owner even gave me a complimentary room upgrade, which was incredibly comfortable.

I brought my kids here for the summer holidays. The room wasn't quite my style, but the service attitude was truly excellent. During my stay, the door lock wouldn't open, and I contacted Xiaoyue who immediately arranged for an engineer to fix it. I also encountered a small issue at one of the activities, and the on-site staff didn't know how to handle it. Again, Xiaoyue promptly stepped in and resolved it. These 5 stars are for Xiaoyue; she seems to be the resort's service ambassador, as she's the go-to person for most problems. Whether it was arranging a shuttle or getting items sent to the room, she handled everything perfectly. Sometimes her WeChat replies were a bit slow, and I actually considered complaining, haha, but then I saw at the front desk that Xiaoyue *was* the front desk! She was also checking guests in, so no wonder her replies were slow. After chatting for a bit, I realized how hard she works, having to attend to other guests too. Thumbs up for such great service! The room hygiene was also pretty good; it's hard to avoid some outdoor elements.

My trip to Moganshan was spurred by a rare good weather weekend and a spontaneous decision. I blindly booked this B&B on Trip.com simply because I liked its name, 'Moshangyin'. I'm just a hopelessly spontaneous person. My suitcase packed clothes for tomorrow, my camera, and a bottle of red wine. I specifically booked a room with a bathtub, hoping to get tipsy under a sky full of stars before drifting off to sleep. However, the reality was I ended up sharing that bottle of wine over a staff meal at the B&B. I met the lovely and fun Sister Fen, known as 'Moganshan's Queen', and the incredibly approachable and wise B&B owner, Da Ling. She cooked me delicious shredded pork noodles and helped me take many great photos. I was the only guest who got to join that meal, simply because I was the only solo guest at the whole B&B – how both sad and interesting is that? In my heart, Moshangyin in Moganshan definitely deserves a five-star review.
