I stay here at my visits to Ningbo 3 or 4 times a year. The placement of this hotel is absolutely perfect smack center down town. Across from the Tianyi Square shopping malls and restaurant area and only minutes by feet from the river. From the impressive foyer you acces one of the two towers. The rooms are specious and...

I was wondering why this hotel was so lowly placed as some other crowne plazas in other countries are a delight to stay in, until I entered the room. First, the lobby - it looks ok by china standards, tacky, but somewhat grand. The check-in counter was manned by 2 well mannered guys and service was good. The south tower... More

A great hotel, good rooms, excellent front desk staff and concierge, Halal food is prepared by a Pakistani chef in the restaurant. This hotel has an excellent location for shopping and food. More

Last week was the third time I stayed in this hotel and my earlier impressions just got confirmed: it is an excellent choice in Ningbo. It has great location (near TianYi Square, many stores, supermarkets), newly renovated rooms, great breakfast (really great!) and nice restaurants for lunch and dinner. Value is very good, a night averaging US$ 110 on a... More

Very well located downtown Ningbo, this hotel is besides the Catholic Church downtown Ningbo and near a lot of restaurants and shopping places in that nice Chinese city. The hotel has very nice rooms, the staff is all time cordial and ready to help, despite the English skills need to be improved. Everytime I need assistance the front desk people... More

Crown Plaza has a great location - walking distance to the shopping areas of TianYi and Changhuan Temple & its surrounds. The room are the usual hotel room layout. The first room we were allocated was dusty (looks like it has not been occupied for awhile). The only trouble we had with room was that it was facing the main... More

I've stayed in this hotel twice, rooms ok, price ok, location ok. But if you need help or directions or simple train or airfares booked, look else where. The staff here have no English skills other than the most very basic language skills. You can not rely on them to answer questions that do not relate to money, food or... More

Stayed at an 11th floor room on the North Tower. The hallway and room were quite clearly recently renovated. Room had a modern contemporary look and feel to it. When I checked in I was told that the only non-smoking rooms available had two double beds rather than a king sized bed. Unfortunately, the two double beds made the room... More

Comfortable & clean hotel, in busy area, market, fast food. Can walk down to the river. 30 minutes to Ningbo airport. English speaking staff. The only setback was the buffet dinner was cold, and there was no one at the live cooking counter. More
