I stayed about one month in 2024 here, and then one week in March 2025. The building is relatively old, but fairly well maintained; e.g., the gym machines are old, but work still fine. By the way, some local gym members exercise without their shirt or shoes on, which is "disturbing'', but the people managing the gym do nothing about the problem, despite that I pointed out the problem a number of times. ||They have a big pool (about 25m long), which is rare these days. Also their sauna is good as it is hot enough with a water-spraying faucet. The location is good, although the main city attractions are across a river, which one can get to with taxi or subway (only a couple of stops away), and there is a subway station close to the hotel. A big shopping center is nearby.||The hotel staff members are all very responsive and eager to help, including the front desk and concierge. As a Bonvoy platinum member, the best part is the club lounge and the staff there including William---I only managed to remember his name, but had their name badges been bigger, I would have been able to name more members who are all very helpful and diligent. The food and drinks there are fine.||If you stay for a long time, Sheraton Ningbo provides the best value for money, because their rates are about 20-30% lower than the other Bonvoy hotels such as Westin or Marriott, and yet the rooms are good size (about 35-40 m2?), and they provide laundry credits (100 Yuan per day) in club rooms that is cumulative. So, staying in a club-level room, food, drink and laundry problems are all solved. ||I will come to Ningbo for a long-term stay again, and definitely, Sheraton Ningbo will be my home away home, as well as an office.
