Not quite ready

Reviewed By sxc2099

The Conrad Tonglu is a well appointed hotel that has wonderful views but inexperienced service staff and a lack of attention to details. First of, the pros. The views of the lake are unrivaled and the slowly billowing clouds ambling across the lake and mountains are nothing short of poetic. The design of the facilities is suitably nice, if a bit lacking in personality. The design message seems to be “very high end hotel to drive sales of the adjoining residential villas.” There are several alpaca on the grounds that are pretty friendly. The noodle master at breakfast adds a healthy dose of character as well as delicious noodles. To continue, the cons: > The staff is really quite inexperienced. To preface, I will say everyone was friendly and certainly tried very hard. However it’s readily apparent very few, if any, of the staff have actually worked at a high end resort. —- For dinner our first night, of the 3 dishes we ordered, 2 were ordered incorrectly, with 1 not arriving at all. No one smiled throughout our 3 day stay. I ate at the only hotel restaurant for 4 consecutive meals and each time they made me take out my diamond membership card to see if I qualified for a discount. Surely the staff can remember faces or there can be a system to make this process a bit less awkward? —- At the spa, the masseuses kept trying to upsell throughout a supposedly relaxing massage. After the treatment, they tried to get me to settle directly with cash rather than signing to the room. —- It was raining the entire time and the hotel provides golf carts to ferry guests. The drivers, however, will often just park a walk away from the building and wait for you to run through the rain rather than taking the umbrellas that are already in their carts and protecting you from the rain. —- The supposed room butler made himself available through his personal wechat and as a parting gift, sent us two bottled waters and a box of tissues, like we were in some provincial backwater where the toilets don’t come with paper. —- Their receipt printer wasn’t working and it took 4 staff simultaneously at the front desk chattering away to fix it. > There’s a lack of attention to details that you wouldn’t expect at a luxury resort. —- The door to our patio wouldn’t close. It was obviously installed misaligned but the hotel staff insisted that it wasn’t broken because if you just jiggle it a bit, it closed fine. At a luxury resort, I would expect that I pull the door closed, and it closes and it requires no more dexterity on my part. —- The bath amenities are from Shanghai Tang, which is a fashion/lifestyle brand and has no experience in skincare. The soaps, shampoos and conditioner are apparently manufactured in Guangzhou and just has the overall feel of a business hotel shower kit. The products are likely produced by a licensee at the lowest cost. —- The spa is even worse with a no name local brand that you would expect to see in a second tier massage shop in a second tier city. I believe the brand was called Ming or something and it was again, produced in Guangzhou. The bottles have English mispellings right on the packaging. Surely the Conrad resort can partner with an international spa provider or brand? —- The elevator call lights are super confusing, as they are naturally quite bright but when you press them, they get marginally brighter. Many times I thought I had pressed the button but in fact that was just the natural brightness of the elevator light. —- The bar is open from 2pm to 9pm. It’s a bar in a resort! Surely, I can drink at a bar past 9pm? Is this a resort for only geriatrics, because they should advertise that clearly in advance. There is absolutely nothing to do in the area so having at least the hotel bar be an option would have been welcome. All in all, a very 3 star experience trying to be a 5 star Conrad Resort. If this were a 3-4 star boutique hotel, I’d say it’s amazing. But it’s certainly not what I would expect from the Conrad. I think all of these issues can be resolved with time and experience but as of right now, I don’t think the resort is worth the price. Wait a year or two while they go through their growing pains.

Lovely service, gorgeous villa but the village is a bit of construction site

Reviewed By Elle-Kay-Lee

We stayed at the Stray Bird guesthouse (飞茑集) for a few nights. The service and standard of the villa were fantastic. The breakfast and amenities in the room were tasteful and chic. Songyang as an area was stunning. However, at the time of our visit (March 2021): 1. the village is still undergoing a period of construction. My understanding from the staff is that Stray Bird is expanding its premises, so quite a few of the old farmhouses are being renovated. This means noise and rubbish around the village. I wish the guesthouse had warned me in advance. 2. There is currently no reception area or restaurant at the guesthouse. There is a nearby bookshop with a cafe (for lunch and tea) and restaurant (for lunch or dinner) in the village and 3. There is no terrace or balcony as such to enjoy the view. There is a narrow path right outside the room with a small bench but not really suitable for chilling out. We went to stay in another village (near Painter Village) in Songyang which was much more quiet with pristine nature. I have every hope that once Stray Bird finishes its construction, it will help clean up the village and it will be beautiful once more. It will then be a good option for people who want a bit more access to other facilities (like cafes and choices of restaurants). For those who want more pristine nature, I would probably suggest looking elsewhere in Songyang.
