generally speaking, the closer you stay to the scenic spots, the better, but hotels are also more expensive. It is more likely to find a cheap hotel three blocks away from West Lake or Jiefang Road. International youth hostels are cheaper. Other inexpensive hotels are Home Inn, Hanting and Motel.

I have been to Hangzhou for many times. Although I am not a professional tour guide, I am quite familiar with Hangzhou. But every time I go, there is always something new to see. Hangzhou is a beautiful city with new developments every day. I wish you a pleasant three-day stay in Hangzhou.
