Sweden Dongyueli Hotel (Shaoxing Cangqiao Straight Street)

The location of the hotel is just beside the river where local residents’ traditional houses were built along it. All the staff are very friendly and helpful, the stay was very enjoyable. Li Ayi (李阿姨）and Bian Ayi （边阿姨）at the Kitchen’s service is especially commendable.

The hotel is nicely located, close to the pedestrian street and all other attractions. Very good breakfast for both Chinese and Westerners. As we have been here for the Dragon Boat Festival, the hotel organized also preparation of the rice dumplings. Every room was also equipped with a Nespresso coffe machine. They gave us a nice welcome fruit tray on first day and another gift when we left. The staff has been very kind and helpful also with our luggage.

Lovely hotel located next to most popular old town street, Cangqiao Street. Also back of hotel is the labyrinth of lovely old waterways. It is set back from main street thru a narrow lane that car cannot access. However is a short lane where you can walk in easily. Or you can call up hotel to pick you up in their golf cart infront of Kong Yi Ji Restuarant on Cangqiao Street (only 5mins away). Breakfast spread is sufficient and delicious. Love my hotel room which is large with modern gadgets. I like to thank this hotel's front desk staff (sorry didnt get her name) who helped me in her off duty time at the side of the hot main street trying to solve my prebooked taxi to Ningbo. The didi rid hailing driver somehow went to wrong pickup address and refuse to budge which eventually i have to cancel it. This wonderful young lady used her mobile app to book my ride cos my app just can't work anymore. A note on the didi linked to Alipay or wechat, very frustrating experience for a foreigner. It will work fine initially then later keep asking for a new credit card input to proceed. Does not work with the new credit card too. Do setup other rid hailing app. besides didi. My Ningbo taxi driver said to call this taxi phone no. 95128 in china (standard no. used in whole of china) to get a taxi, but i have yet to try it out.

Love the peace of this place when there are no loud people around. Everything exudes a sense of calm with a lovely house cat. Thank you for breakfast.

帶父母住這裏，酒店有電梯非常方便，小院環鏡好，品味有設計感，看着舒服，屋內設施完備，各種小細節小心思讓人很舒服。服務人員熱情，特別是管家“穀雨”和“夏至”。每晚有宵夜，熱熱的綠豆湯暖身暖胃還暖心！ 下次還住這裏，也會推薦家人朋友來，真的值得！

入住冬悦裏酒店是此趟紹興之旅最大的滿足，還沒到目的地，管家夏至就很熱情問候並主動提出接我們，給人感覺賓至如歸，入住期間管家秋分，小雪那是有求必應，黃酒的下午茶，夜宵的綠豆百合湯送到房間，方方面面都讓人很滿意，有了冬悦裏，真讓人不虛此行
