Linhai Hotels with Bars

Cao Su almost satisfied all my imaginations of a secluded countryside, with a quiet village, trickling water, stone walls and green tiles, and bamboo forests rustling in the wind. Unlike Beijing, where I live, the mild and humid countryside in the south of the Yangtze River touched me almost instantly. Back to Cao Su, the owner Shuicao is enthusiastic and gentle, the aunt in the store is kind and amiable, and the two dogs in the yard, Xiaohei and Heijian, are extremely smart and well-behaved. The best mornings and nights here are when you can stroll around the village or sit in the yard and read after eating the healthy breakfast prepared by the aunt in the morning. At night, you can listen to the chirping of insects and lie on a recliner to watch the stars in the sky. Returning to nature is really realized here. This morning, I left the store and returned to Beijing. Xiaohei and the aunt were not sent to the village entrance by me. I think I will come back, because Cao Su not only has scenery, but more importantly, it has human touch.

📍 Fantastic Ambiance: The 539-year-old camphor tree in the hotel's courtyard is an absolute ”treasure of the house.” Its lush green stature gives the hotel a unique historical charm. A morning stroll under the tree makes time feel like it slows down. 💁 Top-Notch Service: The butler service deserves a huge shout-out! Their response time was incredibly fast, truly ”answering every question.” They not only offered great travel advice but also meticulously arranged our daily needs, which was incredibly thoughtful and heartwarming. 🥣 Dining Experience: Breakfast was thoughtfully prepared, featuring all local specialties. We didn't need to search for guides to enjoy authentic Linhai flavors, starting the day off with great energy. The evening bar service was also good, with well-made cocktails. The reading room had a wonderful, quiet, and elegant atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. 📝 Minor Drawback: Just a small suggestion – while the bar's service and drinks are excellent, there isn't a non-smoking section. This slightly detracts from the experience for non-smoking guests. Overall, the minor flaw doesn't overshadow the positives. It's a hotel with warmth and style, and I would definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Linhai!

The guesthouse has a fantastic location, right on Ziyang Street, near Jinshan Mountain, and very close to Rongxiaoguan Restaurant. The manager can even help you get a reservation number in advance. The overall facilities are excellent. The bathroom fixtures are Villeroy & Boch, and the bedding is very comfortable. The amenities are top-notch. You can even see plum blossoms from the window; the view might be even better from the second floor. Upon check-in, you'll receive welcome fruit and snacks, and upon check-out, you'll receive a gift. There's also dessert in the evening, but we didn't try it because we ate too much that night. Breakfast is a Chinese breakfast, including Taizhou-style wheat pancakes, which were quite delicious. Overall, it was fantastic, and I would definitely choose it again next time I come to Linhai.

Walk across the bluestone slabs, cross the green lawn, and live in a house surrounded by white stone walls and green mountains and bamboo. Watch the sunset over the sea of ​​clouds, taste Hangzhou delicacies, and enjoy the shining stars. All the beauty is just right. At night, the surroundings are quiet. Only the sound of the wind blowing from the distant valley and the cicadas in the fields can be heard. Before you know it, your heart has completely calmed down, forgetting the hustle and bustle of the city and the troubles of the world. August 13, 2023, the mountains and autumn in the small mountain village of Linhai.

The four sisters finally found the right time and wanted to get away from the noisy city atmosphere of Linhai City, so they randomly found a homestay in the mountains to gather. Unexpectedly, it was a surprising experience! 🤩🤩 🍀🍀 I like the environment here! After getting off the car and walking through the stream in front of the door, I felt that I was integrated into the environment of the mountains all of a sudden⛰️⛰️, and my brain was instantly empty💨🥃🥃We brought our own wine (my friend can mix it) and a lot of things. The owner was very enthusiastic to see us partying and let us use the karaoke room for free🎤, and we were happy until 11:30 and then went to bed💤💤 The next morning, when I opened the window, I was healed by the morning air in the mountains. I could go out for a walk along the mountain road. The homestay provides homemade breakfast (homemade noodles🍜🍜, which is too friendly for us who have been drinking all night) and you can do morning exercises with the owner (maybe it was Ba Duan Jin🧍🏻♀️I forgot a little bit), learn tea art🫖🍵, drink tea and chat, and they also provide Hanfu for taking pictures🤳🤳. 😯😯After exploring the homestay, I found that there are bars, tea rooms, karaoke rooms, and game tables. It is very suitable for gatherings, team building, or personal stays! The owners of the B&B are two aunties (they are like sisters in their mentality👧). It feels like this is their retirement life. Every corner is decorated with great care💛💛. I am so envious🥰 Before leaving, they gave us rose flowers that they dried themselves🌸, which can be used to make tea

When choosing this hotel, I saw reviews claiming it was the best in the seaside area, but my overall experience was quite average. Firstly, the parking lot design was extremely flawed. After parking in the underground garage, there was no elevator to the upper floors; we had to carry our luggage up the stairs before we could use the elevator. Since most hotel guests bring suitcases, and we had a child and a stroller with us, this was incredibly inconvenient. I've never stayed in a hotel like this before. The hotel design was also strange. The VIP reception was on the fifth floor, unlike typical hotels where you're greeted in the lobby. Our experience from the parking lot to the fifth floor was unpleasant, and the facilities didn't match the price. Secondly, regarding service, the overall experience was very average. Aside from one staff member at the fifth-floor reception, we barely encountered any hotel staff. We even had to walk to the adjacent reception building for breakfast. The previous night, we stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Shenxianju, where the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. In comparison, our experience at the VIP hotel was a stark contrast, even though the VIP room rate was significantly higher than the DoubleTree by Hilton. A reviewer added us on WeChat the day before check-in, but it was essentially just for recording our license plate. The booking confirmation mentioned a complimentary gift, and reviews also confirmed it was included, but we didn't receive one upon check-out. Regarding the facilities, the hotel is quite old, and some are dated, but the rooms were generally decent. There was welcome fruit upon entry, and a late-night bowl of noodles was served, which tasted good. Overall, this experience was very average. I had high expectations for the hotel based on the reviews, but the actual experience was quite disappointing. For the price, I'm not satisfied with the experience.

The room should be just installed, clean and comfortable. The proprietress is very simple and kind to people and things, and looks very good to the aunt who works in the kitchen. I lived in on Sunday, the off-season arrived, there was almost no one in the village, very quiet, the next day she took her young son to go out to pick up the courier, and sent us to Xiaozhi Mangrove Forest a few kilometers away for a walk. Dinner is made by the aunt of the hotel, saying that it is the aunt of the village. The cooking is really delicious, home-cooked, not greasy but very tasteful.

The rooms are spacious and tidy, the decoration is simple and high-end, the bathroom is very practical for dry and wet separation, with beauty mirrors; the bedroom has good shading effect, the bedding is clean and soft, the TV viewing is smooth, the facilities are complete, and the atmosphere is full. The hotel staff is warm and caring, responds promptly if there is a problem, and the travel guide is patient and meticulous. The hotel is strategically located, the transportation to major popular attractions is very convenient, the travel is worry-free and effort-saving, and the overall stay experience is full!

Invincible lung washing holy place, the stream at the door, the fir forest, and the small waterfall opposite, live directly in the scenic spot, confirmed that it is my dream. The homestay is an old couple who are taking care of it. There is no service of a brand hotel. It is more casual to live in the house. The facilities are complete. You can also take the kayaking of the homestay to play in the stream. It is simply refreshing. Super suitable for all kinds of gatherings, group building

The sanitation and environmental services are okay, but I want to say something about the projector. I saw a joke on the Internet saying that projectors are easy to project incorrectly. I didn't expect it to happen to me. Suddenly at night, the projector started to play songs. After exiting, it started to play songs again. Two times it was normal music, and the third time it was a spooky ghost movie soundtrack. It was obvious that the wrong projection was intentional. I hope you can improve the projector. If the wrong projection in the middle of the night can scare people to death.
