HANJUE Hotels in Hangzhou

The room was luxuriously appointed. But what about the 20 yuan ”deposit fee”? In China, it is standard practice to pay a deposit when you arrive, normally 500 yuan. The hotel gives this back to you when you leave, minus anything you might have taken from the mini-bar etc. I used to pay this in cash back in the pre-e-money days... It was always repaid in full. Now of course cash is a rarity in China's big cities. At the HZ Platinum Hanjue, I paid a 500 yuan deposit using my WeChat account. When I checked out, they said the money would be credited back to my WeChat account in the afternoon. It was, but not 500, just 480. There is no charge when you transfer money between wechat accounts so I was surprised by this commission. This is a luxurious-looking hotel but it has a cold heart. Try to find something smaller and friendlier with more of a human touch.
