First of all: Putuoshan is really kind of a stunted place. Therefore the hotel and the services were "okay". The price is much too high for this hotel, we paid 1900RMB for 3 nights in a small room with very very old and broken furniture. The bedding was dirty and the whole hotel, including our room smelled musty. Even the walls in our room, the shower and the doorhandles were full of it - BUT: we didn't die. Due to the heat and humidity this is something you have to live with I guess. Now the good things about the hotel: The employees are very helpful, even they speak hardly a word english. But somehow they understand you and are happy to help, especially with lunch. This is a must do in this hotel, we ate the best fish, shrimps and vegetables ever. It is quiet expensive, but the dish you get can't be newer. There are more local restaurants at the street, we would recommend every of it. Really really delicious and fresh food. The location of the hotel is good, it is directly at one of the sand beaches, but you are not allowed to swim. It is good for a walk, every night there is Chinese karaoke. You can listen and have a drink at the beach. Near by there is a bus station with which you can go to several places (hundred step beach, temples, top of the mountain, etc...). All in all, Putuoshan is a place crowded by Chinese tourists, don't be surprised when they are staring at you and taking photos. But the landscape, the beaches and the temples are worth the money! :-)

Dear Sir, We have not been satisfied with the Purple Bamboo Hotel. 1- They do not accept Visa card -that is not mentionned when you make a reservation - so we had to go far away to find an ATM. 2-The room they gave us had only a window giving on the atrium - not on the outside - so it was very noisy. 3-The picture of the hotel is false, it is a montage: the hotel is not on the beach as shown, but separate by a road and trees.

At first I was given a very small room with no windows. but fortunately I was able to change the room without any further bureaucracy. It would be good if at least some people at the reception desk were able to speak or understand a bit of the English language.

The hotel is really nice, rooms quite spacious and clean, staff polite and helpful as much as it's possible when basic English meets basic Chinese :). The only thing we really missed was English menu at the hotel's restaurant. Actually, we just failed to have dinner there. I think (especially regarding the fact that dining at Putuoshan is still kind of a problem) that one single effort to translate the menu could bring the restaurant=hotel a considerable profit they're missing now.

Room without window facing outside but inside a patio, VERY NOISY and WITHOUT DAYLIGHT. Too expensif for that kind of confort. No explaination about the island, the way to take buses to visit it. Good: the hotel bus that pick you up at the ferry terminal and bring you back.

Hotel Location excellent close to port and accessible to Bus . Room location was very poor facing the back alley and on 3rd floor without a lift . Overall Hotel was good - Rooms very clean , nice and spacious . Non availability of English speaking staff and International Cuisine - Restaurant menu does not have pictures and is written only in Chinese so we had to eat outside the hotel at most times in nearby resorts . Overall a good Hotel except for room location , Food and lack of English speaking staff . Staff was yet very friendly and co-operative . Only Chinese Channels on TV and Internet was not working well - Only Gmail opens .

We had a problem with the bus to Shanghai from Putuoshan. The bus I reserved was canceled. So we were a little to late. When I was in the bus, I informed the hotel by phone but they didn't take care of it. Nobody was there for us to the arrival and we must find the hotel alone. The first day I had a room but I didn't ask this kind of room. It was 2 single bed. After they give me the good room. The hotel is clean but not in the common toilet.We took one dinner at this place and the food was good. The waitress were nice but not the other personal.

a few small moths in the room and a milipede. not very nice. also reception failed to answer calls a couple of times. breakfast was horrible and overpriced. good location though, in between the port and guanyin statue and next to a lovely sandy beach. even with the couple of small negatives, i'd be tempted to stay there agin on a weekday when the rates are very reasonable.

An excellent locartion but our room was VERY small with no wardrobe or drawres to unpack clothes. It had a tiny window that looked on to a sheer rock face about half a meter away. The room was at the back af the hotel next to the room where the cleaners slept, their phone rang every morning between four and five and they talked loudly in the corridorat about that time. We didn't have breakfast so I can't comment on that.

One employee out of 5 spoke English I think. That was not enough. They were trying to help but we could not communicate easily.

People from Bamboo Hotel are very nice. They helped us a lot: they went to buy the ferry ticket for us, made us visit the kitchen to choose the food when we could not understand the menu... Location is very good: in front of a beach, closed to the dock (15mn walking). To be improved: the menue is not written for foreigners (no pictures for exemple), no bedside light, people almost do not practice english, no foreign chanel. Internet I do not know!

This hotel was lovely. Staying in PutuoShan was one of the hilights of out trip, and I think it was also made that good by the hotel. The room was a very very good price ( we were worried we'd be made to pay alot more because we were foreigners) and there was a little restaurant attached to the hotel which sold very good food! We especially enjoyed sitting out the front having our dinner. One of the waitresses could speak English and was very friendly to us. All the staff were very polite and I would stay here again if I ever have the chance. Thanks for having us!

Hotel very nice situated, people very friendly. Unfortunately no English language skills. The service of China Hotel Reservation is very good. It was a pleasure making reservations through your company. I will recommend you to my friends, thank you very much.
