Reviews of Dan’s Sea Guest House Hangzhou

The location is perfect, close to many hiling spots and sightseeing places. Lots of Food around.

The place is at a fantastic location, walking distance to Lingyin temple. There are tons of tasty restaurants nearby too. I really appreciate the thoughtful service offered by staff there. They went out of their way to make sure that all our requests and needs are well taken care of. Most importantly, the decor style is full of traditional cultural elements and demonstrates the unique tastes of the owner.

During peak tourist season, taxis are not willing to drive in to right in front of the house, which is not the house’s fault but simply because it’s located at such a hot tourist spot☺️

The breakfast was simple, but ok. We got very nice tea, and dumplings! The best with our stay was the very helpful hostess, who booked tables for us at restaurants (the extremely good vegetarian restaurant – totally amazing!) and went out of her way to make sure we got a Didi in time when we were leaving.

The breakfast could have included decent coffee. The location was perfect for visiting the Lingyin temple. However, since there are restrictions to car driving (including taxis/Didis) during weekends, it may not be the best location in the weekend if you plan to get around in Hangzhou and want to rely on driving. Bus transfer is good!

The hotel itself was really nice and the room was wonderful. It was especially nice to have a small outside area connected to our room. The breakfast was also good!

It was really hard to find the hotel. We could get to the correct area, but taxis cannot enter the back streets and would often get confused and leave us on the opposite end of the neighborhood. This meant it required a lot of walking to get back to the hotel.

Lovely breakfast and tea, warm host, peaceful and super clean with beautiful wood-themed rooms — a wonderful first impression of Hangzhou!

Just note there’s traffic restriction on weekends (9am–5pm), so no taxis or Grab during that time.

Everything. The staff was absolutely lovely. The breakfast was amazing. The room was very large and had everything we needed for a short stay. Super location.

We loved everything.

Very nice room, helpful and friendly hosts, good breakfast!

Amazing attention from the staff! He helped me all the time, prior to the travel and during my stay. He booked an early Didi (taxi) for me since I didn’t have the app.

The location is a bit far from the lake, around 50min walk. But you have the option to rent a bike. It is worth it either way since the path is super beautiful! On the other side, it is located very close to the temple and point view.

The breakfast n the friendly staff

Its location near the tourist attractions especially during weekend where is traffic control.

Breakfasts were traditional style, varied and delicious. The location was in a quiet village neighbourhood, close to West Lake and the Lingyin Temple complex.

We didn't know until our departure day that taxis can't drive into the village at weekends, so we had to get a bus to the airport.

We stayed in this lovely property for 2 nights. It was the perfect getaway after 2 weeks in big cities landscapes. Although Hangzhou is not small at all, the hotel is located in a peaceful natural area, very quiet but still close to important highlights such as the Feilai Peak. The best highlight of the property was the staff, which was a 10/10. The guy working at the reception was lovely and so kind to us, helping us many times with restaurant recommendation, ordering food to our room one night when it was raining and helping us carry our luggage to the bus stop (around 10 min by foot). The property also prepares every morning a free breakfast which is super local, quite different from what we’re used to, but we loved it. It was delicious and the overall feeling of being there was very home-y.

Nothing specific, we got a small room which was a bit tight for the number of luggage we had (2 big ones and 2 small ones), but everything was very doable.

Strategic location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Quiet and cozy environment.

Staircase quite inconvenient for the luggage.

The property was next to the temples and they had cats

Very hospitable family running this quaint hotel. The neighborhood was picturesque, set in a wooded neighborhood retreat away from the city. Easy walk to Lingyin Temple. Staff speaks decent English, with a strong desire to understand and be understood - always smiling and so so friendly!

Beds remind me of similar beds I slept on in Japan - VERY hard (basically a raised wooden platform with minimal padding).

Close to lingyin temple, within walking distance. Cozy place and nice local breakfast

Not convenient to stay with big luggages and with elderly/kids, as there are staircases leading to the rooms and narrow roads (not accessible by cars most of the time). There are also traffic control at certain time as this place is located near to lingyin temple, making it difficult to get a didi/taxi.

Nice rooms and staff. A more residential area to stay next to the lake.

Getting a taxi out of this area can be a challenge due to traffic control. Either wait and flag one down by the main road or walk 10-15mins to the nearest DiDi pick up spot which isn’t great in 40 degree heat. Places in the city next to the lake may be more convenient for transport.
