Xiangshan Beach Hotels

"Traveling in early September was truly comfortable. The hotel package included a three-day, two-night stay with great value for money. We arrived on Sunday afternoon for check-in, and the front desk upgraded us directly to a sea-view twin room. The room was luxurious, with a wet and dry separation in the bathroom and a separate toilet, which was great for multiple people as it allowed for privacy. You could see the sea and hear the waves right from the bed. The hotel has an all-day dining restaurant for breakfast buffet and a weekend dinner buffet (Saturday and Sunday). The Chinese restaurant offers seasonal seafood from Xiangshan. Songlanshan Resort really is the 'Aranya' of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. It's a very relaxing and enjoyable place for a vacation."

"The location is superb, right next to the East Bus Station, just a few minutes' walk away. For those driving, there's free parking with charging stations, making it convenient to reach Songlanshan and the city's commercial districts. The lobby is spacious and clean, and check-in at the front desk is efficient and quick, with warm and attentive service; they answer all questions patiently. The rooms are spacious and bright, impeccably clean, and the bedding is soft and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The bathroom has a separate shower and toilet, plenty of hot water, and user-friendly smart devices. The soundproofing is excellent, ensuring a quiet and peaceful stay. The hotel is well-equipped, with a varied and delicious buffet breakfast, a laundry room, and a gym, making it suitable for both business and leisure travel. The price-performance ratio is among the best in Xiangshan for its class. I will definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Xiangshan. Highly recommended!"

"Xiangshan Radisson Resort: A Real Bad Review (Avoid for Family Trips) First, let's talk about the objective positives. The hotel's overall location and natural scenery are indeed unparalleled. You can see the sea as soon as you step out, and the greenery in the park is well-maintained, creating a great atmosphere for walks and photos. The view from the room is expansive. In terms of environment and scenery alone, it's commendable. If you're just looking for accommodation and scenery, without planning to use the children's facilities, you might consider it. However, we specifically came for a family trip with our child during the holidays, drawn by the hotel's advertised pool and indoor kids' club – two key child-friendly amenities. The overall experience was a huge disappointment. The management, cleaning, and maintenance of these facilities were a mess, completely unfitting for a resort hotel. I strongly advise families with children to avoid this place. My first major complaint is about the hotel's swimming pool. During holidays, there are naturally many guests, and many parents bring their children specifically to play in the water. Yet, the pool's water level was ridiculously low, with large sections of the pool bottom exposed, making it impossible to swim properly. Kids couldn't even splash around. The water quality was even worse: murky and unclear, with leaves and small debris floating on the surface. There was a visible layer of grime accumulated on the pool edges and steps, and up close, the pool walls looked yellow and slimy. There was no sign of regular water changes or circulation cleaning. During peak holiday periods, water quality maintenance should be a priority, but the hotel completely neglected it. Seeing the murky, dirty water, I didn't dare let my child in. We paid a high price for our stay, and the highly anticipated swimming activity was completely ruined – extremely frustrating. The second major disappointment was the indoor kids' club. Both the hotel front desk and the online page stated fixed operating hours. We checked the times in advance and arrived with our child punctually, only to find the club still locked at the scheduled opening time. There were no staff members present to inform us of any delays. After actively asking a staff member, their response was vague, and we were left waiting for a long time before the door finally opened. During the wait, our child was agitated to go in, wasting valuable playtime. Once inside, the hygiene condition was even more shocking. The entire floor mat was covered in dust, the slide crevices and building blocks were stained, and there were snack crumbs and hair scattered in every corner. The play equipment had clearly not been thoroughly cleaned for a long time, feeling sticky to the touch. The enclosed space had poor ventilation and a faint peculiar smell. After playing, my child's hands were covered in dust. The hygiene was completely substandard and posed significant health risks. The hotel markets itself as a family-friendly resort, with the pool and kids' club being core attractions for families. No matter how good the scenery is, if the management and cleanliness of these essential child-friendly facilities are lacking, it completely negates all advantages. During peak holiday periods, basic tasks like maintaining water levels, cleaning water quality, opening the kids' club on time, and regular cleaning were not done in advance. The service and maintenance were very perfunctory, offering extremely poor value for money. Families planning to travel with children are advised to choose carefully. If you want to swim or let your children play, this hotel will be extremely disappointing. I hope the hotel can pay attention to the operation and management of its family-friendly facilities, strengthen daily cleaning and maintenance, and not rely solely on sea views as a promotional gimmick."

"Breakfast includes steamed buns (pork buns, siomai and steamed dumplings), milk and soy milk, pickles, two small vegetables, pumpkin porridge, fried noodles and fried rice, as well as seafood noodles and wontons that can be cooked freshly, as well as fruits, bagged biscuits and bread. The breakfast was okay. I originally chose this hotel because of the reviews about the rich breakfast. Maybe my expectations were a bit high. As for the environment, I made my request to choose a quieter room, but it was not quiet at all. It was noisy until almost 12 o'clock."

"Escape the hustle and bustle and come to Banbianshan to see the sea! This hotel gave me a perfect stay experience, and the value for money is impressive. Although it has been open for many years, the facilities are still well-maintained, with no sense of being old or run down. The guest room hygiene details are spot-on, and the public areas are clean and pleasant. The staff are warm and polite; check-in was quick, and feedback on requests was very prompt. The breakfast offers a diverse range of options, all delicious and no misses. Special thanks to Carle Chen for the thoughtful service; every moment of our vacation was comfortable and at ease."

"The hotel is in a great location, right by the sea. Standing in the yard, you can watch the tides. The hotel service is very enthusiastic. We were originally scheduled to arrive in the afternoon, but we were delayed and arrived at the hotel at around 9pm. The housekeeper was waiting for us at the hotel and helped us check in and move our luggage. The room is quite large and clean. Any questions can be answered in the housekeeper group. It is a great experience. I will stay here again next time."

"I had a particularly satisfying stay this time. The hotel is conveniently located close to the scenic area, making it easy to get around. The room was clean and tidy, with complete facilities, and the bedding was comfortable, so I slept very soundly. The front desk service was warm and attentive, and check-in was efficient. The breakfast had a rich variety and tasted good, and the restaurant environment was also very pleasant. Overall, it offers great value for money. I will choose this place again next time I visit, highly recommended!"

"The room is clean and tidy and comfortable. The space is large. The balcony is particularly good. It is all sea view. The housekeeper Xiao Shen service is in place. The room type is upgraded for free. I will stay next time."

"The location is perfect ; it is walking distance to South Beach, where we could see the “blue tears” phenomenon. However, the check-in time took a bit long. It is indeed an old hotel, and the cleanliness is just so-so. I am not sure if there is mold on the ceiling, but there are some black spots. The room is not soundproof, so we could hear noise from other guests in another room all night. We had a hard time sleeping. Our friends who stayed in another room said there were many mosquitoes in their room, so they did not get enough sleep. For breakfast, it is a typical Chinese breakfast — not many vegetarian options, and the taste is just average. One thing that I really don’t like is people smoke in the lobby, and the hallway smells like smoke."

"The room was clean and tidy, very well maintained. It had a window for ventilation, and there were many restaurants nearby. It was also very convenient for getting around. Highly recommended."
