Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Starway Hotel Quzhou Jiangshan - Your Dream Getaway!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the shimmering pool of the Starway Hotel Quzhou Jiangshan. Forget sterile hotel reviews, we're doing this real. I'm talking honest-to-goodness, warts-and-all, "did I really spend that much on a bathrobe?" kind of review. Let's get messy!
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Starway Hotel Quzhou Jiangshan - Your Dream Getaway! (Or, You Know, At Least a Darn Good Weekend!)
First off, finding this place? Easy peasy. Accessibility is key, blessedly. I, a humble (and slightly directionally challenged) traveler, had no problem getting there. And thank the stars, car park [free of charge]. Parking's a pain, you know? Instant win. They also offered airport transfer, which, after a flight, sounded absolutely divine. I didn't use it (adventures!), but it's a brilliant detail.
The Room: My Kingdom (or, At Least, My Weekend Fortress)
Whoa. Let's talk ROOMS. My first thought? “Holy smokes, this is…actually…fancy!” Don’t judge, my expectations are usually set by roadside motels. It felt downright luxurious! They've got it all, people. Air conditioning, check. Air conditioning in public area, DOUBLE check (crucial, trust me). And the little things? They get you. Bathrobes, fluffy and tempting. Complimentary tea, yep. Free bottled water - YES! Crucial for hydration when you're flitting about, trying to look sophisticated.
There was even a desk and laptop workspace, which I technically used… for about five minutes before deciding to enjoy the actual space. Plenty of Internet access – wireless, thank goodness for Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, and Internet access – LAN just in case you're old school (or need to download something VERY large). The extra long bed? Pure bliss. I slept like a log, or rather, a very well-rested human. And the blackout curtains? Oh, bless. No sunrise interrupting precious sleep. My inner grumpy cat rejoiced.
Okay, the Bathroom. THAT’S Where it’s At.
Can we talk about the bathroom for a second? Because honestly, the details matter. A separate shower/bathtub situation? YES. Slippers? Don’t mind if I do. Toiletries? They’ve thought of EVERYTHING. And a mirror that actually showed my face in a flattering light? Pure magic. I’m calling that a mini-win.
Food, Glorious Food (And the Occasional Snack Attack)
Alright, food. This is where things get INTERESTING. The Asian breakfast was a culinary adventure I thoroughly enjoyed. Breakfast [buffet], so you can graze and judge everyone else's choices? YES. They really do it well. The selection seemed endless. The coffee/tea in restaurant was excellent, which I always need. Coffee shop, right there, anytime I needed it. They also have restaurants, including a dedicated vegetarian restaurant - A+ for inclusivity!
But let me focus on the moment. I had a brilliant salad one night in the restaurant. Truly, just a simple, elegant, refreshing salad. Sounds banal, right? But after a long day of sightseeing, that salad was a revelation. I swear, I could have eaten a dozen. The service was impeccable and the ambiance, perfect. A simple salad, a moment of pure, unadulterated joy. They even have a poolside bar for cocktails and a snack bar for those emergency moments of carb craving. And because it's China, there’s the expected Asian cuisine in restaurant and International cuisine in restaurant!
Spa & Relaxation: Where Your Worries Melt Away (Hopefully, Without Excessive Hairspray)
My expectations of a spa day are always high, and the Starway didn’t disappoint. The Pool with view was absolutely stunning. I spent a shameful amount of time lounging, reading, and generally pretending I had all the time in the world.
The spa/sauna was a must-do. I started with the sauna, which was gloriously hot and cleansing. Then, I opted for a Body scrub. This was amazing, and left me feeling refreshed. Then, I moved on to the massage. It was heavenly. Seriously.
Keeping Clean & Staying Safe (The Not-So-Sexy, But Necessary, Stuff)
Okay, let’s get real. This is 2024, and safety is paramount. The Starway has taken it seriously. They use Anti-viral cleaning products, have Daily disinfection in common areas, and Rooms sanitized between stays. They even offer Room sanitization opt-out available, which is a nice touch. Hand sanitizer stations were everywhere.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things that Make a Big Difference
They have Laundry service. Saved my life. The Concierge was friendly and helpful – invaluable for navigating a foreign city. Currency exchange, cash withdrawal? All here. A Convenience store for late-night snack runs? Genius.
For the Kids (and the Inner Child in Us All)
While I didn't bring any kids, the babysitting service and kids facilities are a major plus for traveling families. They're even Family/child friendly.
Areas for Improvement (Because Nothing's Perfect, Sadly)
Okay, nitpicks. The Happy hour could've been a bit more…spirited. The Gym/fitness center was a little…basic. And the smoke alarms, well, hopefully, I never have to test them!
The Verdict: Should You Book?
YES.
This hotel is a fantastic blend of luxury, convenience, and genuine comfort. It's perfect for a romantic getaway, a solo adventure, or even a business trip where you actually, you know, want to relax.

Luxury Cebu City Living: Ascott's Unrivaled Elegance
Okay, buckle up, buttercup, because this itinerary for the Starway Hotel in Quzhou, Jiangshan, China, is about to get REAL. Forget perfectly curated Instagram feeds. We're going for a hot mess express of travel diaries, sprinkled with a healthy dose of jet lag and a complete lack of filter. This is YOUR trip, warts and all.
Day 1: Arrival, Jet Lag, and Ramen Regret
Morning (like, late morning): Land in… somewhere. Let's assume Shanghai, because getting to Jiangshan directly feels like some kind of ancient puzzle. The flight was a blur of crying babies, questionable airplane food (seriously, what is that gloopy stuff?), and me trying to subtly (and failing) steal all the complimentary peanuts. The landing? Not the smoothest. I swear, my stomach is still somewhere near Guam.
Afternoon: Train to Quzhou. The train? Okay, not bad. Surprisingly clean, but the constant announcements in Mandarin are about as helpful as trying to understand a squirrel's philosophy. I managed to decipher "Please do not spit," which, good to know, I suppose. The landscape whizzing by… breathtaking, I think? My head felt like a war zone, and the images blurred.
Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Arrive in Quzhou. Check into the Starway Hotel. Finally. The room? Standard. Clean enough. More importantly, it has a bed, and that bed is calling my name like a siren song. The aircon is blasting. A very welcome sensation compared to my sweaty self on the train.
Evening (or what's left of it): Dinner. Big mistake. The little ramen place down the street promised "authentic flavors." What I got was a bowl of noodles that tasted vaguely of swamp water and despair. I ate about three bites before giving up and retreating to the safety of my hotel room. Jet lag is a cruel mistress. I thought, I could grab some snacks from the local shop. But I end up at the hotel, craving a solid sleep.
Night: Collapsed on the bed. Didn’t even take my socks off. Woke up three hours later in a cold sweat, convinced I had been abducted by aliens. Turns out, just the jet lag. Awesome.
Day 2: The "Lost in Translation" Tour & The Temple That Almost Broke Me
- Morning: Wake up disoriented. Realize I missed breakfast. Cursing myself for skipping it. Wandered out hoping to grab some food. The hotel staff looked at me like I had grown a second head. Apparently, speaking only a few Mandarin phrases makes ordering breakfast a near-impossible task. Decided to grab whatever I could.
- Morning/Early Afternoon: Attempted to visit a local temple (unnamed because I can't pronounce the name). Found myself wandering the ancient complex and, let me tell ya, this temple was gorgeous. The architecture was stunning and the atmosphere was serene. I was genuinely humbled. The sheer history was breathtaking. Got more and more captivated by its details. I was taking photos left and right. Trying to capture the true beauty of the place. I had the time of my life. I was getting lost and loving it. But then, disaster. I had been wandering for a while and it was getting late. I didn't have any food and I wasn't hydrated. I was getting tired. I then proceed to wander towards a temple that was very far. No one was there but me. I was hungry and tired. I couldn't believe myself. I tried my hardest to find a way back, but to no avail.
- Late Afternoon: I was so exhausted that I had to sit down. I then noticed a group of monks meditating. Hoping that they would understand (in my mind), I tried to talk to them. Needless to say, they didn't understand me. I didn't understand them. I sat there hungry and confused. I wanted to break down but I didn't. I sat there patiently. Then I noticed one of them point towards the direction I should go. With my last energy I rushed towards the direction. Trying to find a place to eat. And find a way to the hotel. The walk felt like a lifetime.
- Evening: I couldn't believe I managed to get back to the hotel. I order some food and I passed out.
Day 3: The Jiangshan Culinary Crawl & Karaoke Catastrophe
- Morning: I woke up. I couldn't believe I am still alive.
- Afternoon: I decided to grab some food with the locals. The best way to experience a place is through food. I then went to a cooking class. I was a disaster. I burned some food, spilled some drinks, and almost set the place on fire. My enthusiasm was bigger than my skill. Everyone laughed and helped along the way. The food was amazing.
- Night: Karaoke. Yes, karaoke. I'm not a singer. At all. But a group of friendly locals dragged me to a KTV bar. Let's just say my rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" resulted in a lot of laughter (mostly at my expense) and, eventually, being kicked off the stage. The beer flowed freely, the food kept coming, and the awkwardness eventually melted away. It was horrible in the best way possible.
Day 4: Departure & Reflections (and the lingering taste of ramen)
- Morning: Woke up feeling like I had been hit by a bus. But, on the plus side, the jet lag finally seems to be easing. The hotel breakfast was… better than the ramen. Progress! Still a little sad to leave.
- Rest of the Day: Travel back. Trains and planes. Thoughts of the next adventure.
Final Thoughts:
This trip was… a lot. Exhausting. Confusing. Hilarious. Beautiful. Humbling. And, yes, I'm still haunted by the taste of that ramen. But do you know what? I wouldn't trade it for anything. It was messy, imperfect, and utterly unforgettable. That's the whole point, isn't it? The memories, the experiences, the "lost in translation" moments… they're what make travel worthwhile. They're what make us human. And if you're planning your own trip to Jiangshan, China? Go. Get lost. Eat terrible ramen. Laugh. Enjoy the experience.
And for god's sake, learn a few basic Mandarin phrases. You'll thank me later.
Nagoya's Hidden Gem: Vessel Inn Sakae Station - Unbelievable Comfort!
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Starway Hotel Quzhou Jiangshan - Your Dream Getaway! ...Actually, Let's Talk About Reality First.
Okay, okay, "Dream Getaway"... What *actually* makes this place special? I'm skeptical.
Oh, but be prepared. Sometimes the "luxury" veers into the slightly-too-much. Like, the gold-plated taps in the bathroom. Did I *need* gold-plated taps? Of course not. Did I spend five minutes just staring at them, wondering if I could sell them on eBay? Absolutely.
The food! Tell me about the food! Because a fancy hotel can live or die by its buffet, am I right?
What about the staff? Are they actually helpful, or just... shiny and pretending?
However, there were times where things went slightly sideways. Like the time the room service arrived with the wrong order, and I ended up with a mountain of dumplings when I'd ordered a salad. My fault? Partially. But hey, dumplings are delicious, so I didn't complain TOO much.
Location, location, location! Is this place actually *convenient*?
Okay, spill the tea: Any downsides? Because nothing's *perfect*.
And, and I’m going to say it… the lift. The lift. It's a slow-moving beast. Prepare for long waits. Or just embrace the stairs! It's good for you.
And here's my big gripe: The noise. The walls aren't paper-thin, but you still hear things. I'm a light sleeper, so even the hallway conversations can occasionally penetrate. Honestly, pack earplugs. Seriously. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Would you, *personally*, recommend this place? Be honest!
