Sofitel Hangzhou Yingguan Hotel
The hotel is nice and new. Close to a metro station. It has a weird smell that’s really not so pleasant. Breakfast has a lot of food but quality is just so so. Staff is not trained and were not really helpful when asked to suggest food foo spa’s nearby. Overall it’s just very average
