New Century Hotel Taizhou
Budget four-star stay with an indoor pool near Ocean World
About this hotel
New Century Hotel Taizhou keeps the essentials covered at a lower price point than the city's five-star options, without dropping the indoor pool that makes this list in the first place. Free breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking are all included, and the hotel sits close enough to Taizhou Ocean World, roughly nine minutes by taxi, to work as a base for a family day out. The airport shuttle helps offset the more than two-hour ride from Taizhou Luqiao Airport, one of the longer transfers among hotels on this list. Rooms are straightforward rather than styled, in line with the budget positioning, and the hotel backs that up with kid-friendly rooms and a business center for travellers mixing family time with work.
- Indoor pool
- Free parking
- Airport shuttle
- Business center
Our take
This is the pick for travellers who want an indoor pool without paying five-star rates, and the proximity to Taizhou Ocean World makes it a sensible family base too. The trade-off is the airport transfer, at over two hours one of the longest on this list, so travellers prioritising a short airport ride should look toward hotels closer to Jiaojiang's core instead.
- ✓Book the airport shuttle in advance given the more than two-hour ride from Taizhou Luqiao Airport.
- ✓Combine a stay here with a Taizhou Ocean World visit, it's roughly nine minutes away by taxi.
- ✓Confirm breakfast timing at check-in, budget properties in Taizhou sometimes run shorter service windows.

Why guests love itTraveling with the family to Taizhou Ocean World, New Century Hotel Taizhou made sense mainly on price: a real indoor pool without the five-star cost of hotels in central Jiaojiang. The nine-minute taxi ride to Ocean World made it an easy pairing for a day out, and the free breakfast covered the basics without needing to hunt for a restaurant each morning. The airport transfer ran long, over two hours each way, which is worth planning around before booking.
