Hotel Hot Springs di Sichuan, China

I got upgraded to a room with floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel breakfast offered a great variety, and there's complimentary tea on the 19th floor. The views of the 'blue tears' phenomenon were also quite good. I think the location is the best; it's convenient for getting anywhere. Duidui Garden Station is right downstairs, making it super easy to visit the reclining panda sculpture. After a tiring day of sightseeing, you can unwind at the hot springs on the first basement floor. Excellent! 🎉

Facilities: Very new, and the room's decor really matches my aesthetic, haha. Plus, there's a water dispenser, so you can get warm water, which is a big plus. Currently, the hot springs have three indoor pools open. When we went at 8 PM, it was great, not many people, and very relaxing. Environment: It's right in the middle of the valley. Our room faced the street, but it was actually fine; there weren't many cars at night, so it was pretty quiet. It's about a kilometer to the scenic area's center, which is quite close. Hygiene: Very clean, nothing to complain about. Service: The service was very good. They even deliver warm milk at night. However, breakfast was just okay; the variety wasn't extensive, and the dumplings I had were a bit cold.

Really good hotel! They even have a oxygen room for those suffering from altitude sickness. Breakfast was delicious, lots of options available. We were even given fruits when we left!

We had a fantastic tranquil stay for 2 nights at this accommodation. The hosts are wonderful and show great hospitality to all their guests. They have offered rides in the area (for us a visit to the panda base was a must), organized a transfer, offered tea and coffee throughout the day and were available all the time. Our highlight was picking tea leaves with the family’s grandmother and preparing the tea with the family’s grandfather. The room and public places are cosy and well equipped. Our son loved the tree house in the backyard. The food was tasty and their menu offered us to try some local delicacies. Recommendation to everyone who wants to stay in the area around Ya’an.

Conveniently located just off National Highway G248, with ample parking. Our room overlooked the river, and while the sound of the water was quite noticeable, once the windows were closed, it was virtually silent. The soundproofing is excellent; even my noise-sensitive family found it completely acceptable and had a peaceful night's sleep. The family room also features a spacious living room, and next to it is a billiard room with direct access to a small rooftop terrace on the third floor. While the guesthouse only offered hot pot, my family was craving stir-fries. The owner kindly recommended a Sichuan restaurant just a 3-minute drive away, which turned out to be much more affordable than the Chuanyuxiang restaurant at the intersection. The courtyard also has several slow-charging EV chargers, which is a great convenience for electric vehicle owners.

The environment is great. I booked a tatami room and they upgraded me for free. The location is right next to Shangzhongshun, but it's not noisy. The shower has hot water very quickly, and the room is also spacious. Every time I left, the front desk staff greeted me warmly. When checking out, I asked for directions and they thoughtfully told me how to get a taxi affordably. They even gave me some snacks in the end. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit.

Facilities: The room facilities are quite complete, with air conditioning, heating, and a projector, which is very comprehensive. The shower isn't basic either, with several water modes, and a smart toilet. There were no issues with its use, though the toilet lid was broken, but it didn't affect functionality. If you're not used to the toilet, there are squat toilets available on the first floor in the public restroom. There's also a hot spring on the fourth floor, but we were worried about altitude sickness and weren't fully prepared, so we didn't try it. Hygiene: The hygiene felt good, and the overall decor was cozy. We didn't find anything unclean. Environment: The location is quite convenient, with many dining options nearby and convenience stores. The hotel itself also has a restaurant that's very well decorated and does good business. Guests get a discount when dining there, but since one of us doesn't eat beef and another can't handle spicy food, we chose other places. It's also relatively close to the gorge entrance, a 20-minute walk or an easy taxi ride. Service: Excellent! The front desk staff were very friendly, proactive, and attentive.

This time, I stayed at the Xishe Yunshan Designer Tangchi Hotel in Jiuzhaigou, and my overall experience was very satisfying. It was warm and hassle-free. 🏨 Location The hotel is well-located with a quiet surrounding environment. It's also very convenient to take a taxi from the hotel to the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area; the ride isn't long, so getting around is basically stress-free. 🛏️ Room Experience The room was spacious, well-designed, clean, and comfortable. The biggest pluses were: • The smart toilet that can wash your backside, which is especially delightful in cold weather. • Underfloor heating in the room, so you don't have to worry about cold feet, even barefoot. • Support for Xiao Ai (AI assistant) to control lighting and heating/AC. Just a voice command turns things on and off, which is very smart and convenient. 🍽️ Dining Experience There's a restaurant downstairs where you can directly pay to enjoy dinner. This means you don't have to go out looking for food in the cold wind, which is a lifesaver for winter travelers. Both the dishes and the environment were good. ✅ Summary Overall, the hotel's location, comfort, smart features, and convenience are all excellent. It's especially suitable for those visiting Jiuzhaigou in winter, as it's both warm and saves a lot of trouble. If I come to Jiuzhaigou again, I would still consider staying here.

Service: After booking the room, a dedicated butler contacted us with the detailed address and directions, and guided us to the hotel via the Baitukan Tunnel. The hotel also has a dedicated parking lot. The hotel offers laundry service, which is very convenient. The owner was very patient and helpful when we asked about nearby restaurants and attractions. The hotel's fruit platter and breakfast were also very generous. Environment: As soon as I entered the room and opened the curtains, I was completely captivated by the stunning mountain view. It's about a ten-minute walk to the center of Kangding County, and I saw a plethora of beautiful roses along the way. Cleanliness: The room was very clean and tidy, and the bathroom had double sinks and a heated towel rack, which was a nice touch. Facilities: The hotel's restaurant offers a great view, and dining there was a delightful experience. The fourth-floor balcony was also very comfortable, and downstairs there were also billiards, mahjong machines, and other entertainment facilities. P.S. I'm not a shill, just a happy newbie who finally made it to my western Sichuan trip. Thank you Kangding and this fantastic hotel for making it a perfect start to my trip.

The hotel's location is super convenient, just a 5-10 minute taxi ride from Emeishan Station. The Christmas vibe was amazing! I checked in on Christmas Eve, and the whole hotel was decked out in Christmas decorations with festive music playing. It felt incredibly festive! The service attitude was excellent throughout my stay: • Concierge: From the moment I arrived, staff were there to open the car door, and they did the same when I left by taxi. Very warm and welcoming~ • Front Desk: The lady at the front desk was meticulous in handling everything, spoke softly, and even upgraded my room for free 🏠 • Coffee Bar: The manager on duty was also very kind and enthusiastically offered recommendations ☕ • Housekeeping: The cleaning aunties would always greet me with a smile in the morning 🙋‍♀️ Overall, the atmosphere felt very warm and welcoming 🧸. Every staff member was friendly. Yesterday, I encountered a minor issue midway through my stay, and the staff stayed with me throughout the process, making me feel supported. It was a great experience. 💕 Dining Experience: • Breakfast: The small noodles with bamboo shoots and beef brisket were especially delicious! 🍜 • Chinese Restaurant: The food was generally okay, but I personally found some dishes a bit oily. The sweet skin duck I ordered had a slight fishy taste, but it was acceptable. • Afternoon Tea: The staff were very thoughtful, even offering takeout and packing services 📦. In the evening, I had some cocktails and ordered snacks like fries. The overall ambiance was great 🍸. • In-room Welcome Gift: In the evening, they prepared welcome fruits, which were local Emei Mountain specialties 🍊, and croissants 🥐. Very thoughtful. Room Amenities: The room was equipped with a bathtub, and the view outside the window was beautiful. The heating was excellent, and the mattress and pillows were soft and comfortable. They even thoughtfully provided two pillow heights (one high, one low). The only minor drawback was the lack of disposable bathtub liners and bath salts. Hot Springs and Pool: Guests can enjoy the hot springs and there's also a swimming pool. The hot springs are split into indoor and outdoor sections. The outdoor section is a large pool without much decorative design, but the water temperature and quality were both excellent. Travel Photography Service: The hotel also offered a complimentary travel photography service, including 3 free photos. The photographer was very professional and patiently guided me on poses; the retoucher was also very skilled, and the photos turned out beautifully! Value for Money: The price was very reasonable, and the facilities and services were definitely worth it. Little Highlight: I noticed a small detail: even the sand-filled receptacles for cigarette butts had the hotel's logo on them, showing great attention to detail. Minor Flaw: Yesterday, I requested turn-down service, but it wasn't carried out. However, the front desk lady promptly prepared a small gift as compensation 🎁, and her handling of the situation was very good. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I would definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Emeishan~ 🎀
