Hotel Romantic di Sichuan, China

The hotel was a pleasant surprise during our trip; the kids and our dog were very happy with it, as it had a large bathtub and a small garden. Since we were leaving very early the next day, our butler, Jiqing, thoughtfully packed breakfast and provided a lot of information on sightseeing and dining options. Leshan is a treasure trove of a city; besides the Giant Buddha, there are many other fun places to visit. I would definitely choose to cycle solo for a thousand miles again next time.

Facilities: The facilities are complete, and there are many dining options nearby. The Zangse Street is great for a stroll. Environment: The environment is exceptionally good. You can see beautiful scenery right from the window, which is very unique and perfect for walking. Service: The owner is incredibly kind, enthusiastic, and patient. They answer all questions and fulfill all requests. The aunt and uncle are also very lovely and friendly. It's very close to all three valleys of the Siguniang Mountain scenic area entrances, and only a two to three-minute drive from the Siguniang Bus Station, making travel very convenient.

The location is good, and the reception staff were very enthusiastic. However, the bar across the street was too noisy at night, and then there was a power transformer explosion right outside the hotel, so I basically didn't get any sleep and felt like I pulled an all-nighter.

The hotel was really great. There’s an elevator, so no need to worry about carrying luggage up the stairs. We arrived at ฺBus Stop 2 and the hotel staff came out to help us with our bags — plus we were warmly greeted by an adorable dog! We chose a triple room, and the space was comfortable and sufficient for everyone. Our room faced the front with a beautiful mountain view. The beds also had electric mattress warmers, which made our sleep very cozy. Breakfast was good, and the stir-fried vegetables were delicious. They also provide hiking poles that guests can borrow.

Pretty unique stay with it's decor. Room looked nicer in the photos because the lighting in the actual room was inconsistent with white and yellow bulbs. A standing lamp and the latch on a window were broken, but they fixed both the following day. They kept reassuring me it's safe (the broken latch meant the window couldnt be closed) but as a solo traveller it's still best to err at the side of caution. Plus it meant I couldn't block outside sound, and was actually woken from my nap by food wrapper noises by someone on the balcony (it's shared). For extras, the ******* clothing is actually free, 'oxygen' meant aircon, you have to remind them on the welcoming gifts, so the only thing I'd is worth paying the extras for is their handmade tsampa and butter tea. Pretty filling and you can have it as breakfast (though you might not be used to the taste haha) Overall a good experience because of their friendly service, good attitude, and always having a smile on their face. I suggest for them to be proactive in telling the guests on what their extras are and how to request fro them, instead of the other way around.

The location is very convenient, close to Baba Street, with many dining options within walking distance. Although the hotel is a bit old, the remnants of its former luxurious self are still evident. The rooms are very spacious, and the front desk staff's check-in speed is absolutely fantastic. However, there was a smoke smell in the room, likely from a previous guest, even though I had specifically requested a non-smoking room... All in all, for this price in the city center, it's definitely excellent value for money.

Every summer, I come to Mount Qingcheng, and I've pretty much stayed at all the famous hotels and guesthouses here, with Six Senses being the only one left. So I decided to stay for a night. The reason I waited so long to try Six Senses is because of the mixed reviews online – some praise it to the heavens, others tear it down, making me hesitant to spend money unnecessarily. However, since I've practically stayed everywhere else, I finally gave in to the urge to check out Six Senses! Let me start with the conclusion: the experience was truly disappointing, even a huge letdown! Why? First, its location right next to the Qingcheng Mountain High-Speed Rail Station means there's no sense of secluded retreat at all, which completely undermines the Six Senses brand's reputation for seclusion. Upon entering, it felt hot and stuffy everywhere, not cool at all. This is because the vegetation around the hotel is too sparse, and the trees aren't lush, causing the ground to be scorched. It felt like I had entered a farmhouse guesthouse in Qingcheng Mountain town, completely lacking the ethereal charm of Mount Qingcheng. Moreover, the hotel doesn't have large water features, further diminishing any sense of vibrancy! To put it bluntly, it's not even as good as the adjacent Howard Johnson Qingcheng, which has an earthy charm that makes you feel refreshed and peaceful as soon as you enter. Furthermore, the overall design of the hotel is terribly poor; it's a maze with no clear hierarchy or aesthetic appeal. The room design is even worse, truly embodying the 'upscale farmhouse' aesthetic – neither ancient nor modern, neither rustic nor sophisticated. The interior space of the room is partitioned into small compartments, the lighting is dim, and the balcony is incredibly tiny and mosquito-ridden, making it impossible to relax and enjoy a vacation! The flow within the room is chaotic; the minibar and fridge are placed next to the bed, and when you want to turn off the lights for sleep, you can't find the switch, having to get up and go to the sofa to turn it off. The fan is impossible to turn off easily, and there are hardly any power outlets for phones and laptops! I don't know which designer came up with this anti-human design; it's as if they deliberately made guests uncomfortable! What's even more ridiculous is that the king room and garden room are designed with one above the other, making it easy to see people downstairs from upstairs! Is this to make it convenient for neighbors to visit? It's so 'down-to-earth' that it feels like living in a residential complex! Where's the vacation feeling in that? In short, the stay was very unpleasant. The room wasn't spacious enough, nor was it cozy! You couldn't comfortably lie down or sit up! The room design of Six Senses lacks the grandeur of Qingcheng Songpin, the style of Zuowang Senlin, the ethereal quality of Qingxia Shanju, and the层次感 (sense of layering) of Qingcheng Mountain Resort! However, Six Senses does have its merits, primarily its excellent service. Before check-in, they call to confirm, and after check-in, a butler contacts you, sending various reminders throughout your stay and assisting with booking complimentary services within the hotel. If anything is needed in the room, just ask, and it's delivered immediately. This aspect was quite satisfactory; the service can be said to be the best among all hotels in Qingcheng Mountain, and this alone lives up to the Six Senses brand. Also, the breakfast variety is quite rich and of good quality; the yogurt is homemade by the hotel, and the cherry tomatoes are homegrown. The only inconvenience is having to run up and down between floors in the restaurant to get food! To summarize, Six Senses is worth at most 1,000 yuan per night. Such a high room rate is simply overpriced and a rip-off. Staying there a second time would be a complete waste of money!

I'd always heard great things about Le Méridien Emei, and this time, choosing it over Hongzhushan was definitely the right decision – everything was absolutely perfect! The hotel's exterior, including the gardens, roads, lawns, and lake, was incredibly soothing and the scenery was stunning! Inside, the decor, art displays, and even the music playing were all so stylish and hit just the right note for me. The room was also very spacious, and all the facilities were quite new; just a minor suggestion to upgrade the showerhead. The shower gel, shampoo, body lotion, and hand soap also had pleasant scents! Breakfast in the morning was fantastic, with a wide and rich variety of high-quality dishes, not just something thrown together. Finally, the service deserves a huge shout-out. Every single staff member, no exaggeration, greeted us warmly. Whether it was the concierge at the door, the front desk staff, housekeepers, restaurant staff, or drivers, everyone's attitude was exceptionally good. They were incredibly patient in helping us with any issues or giving us information. Room service was also very responsive (the staff's lapel pins paired with their white suits looked great!). When I asked for a plaster, the staff even thoughtfully asked if I was injured to better assist me – truly commendatory attention to detail! Even when we unexpectedly decided to go to Jinding the next day, and it was already 3 PM, the hotel readily agreed to let us check out when we asked. They patiently explained how to get to Jinding, and later, when we couldn't go and rebooked, they even upgraded us to a lake-view room. You could really feel their 'people-first' approach and how incredibly thoughtful they were! They also provide pick-up and drop-off from the high-speed rail station. We arrived very late at night, and even though the driver was off duty, the hotel specially arranged a Didi (ride-hailing service) for us, showing their thoroughness in every detail. For someone like me who tends to worry and be on edge about everything, Le Méridien helped me relax, as their service provided such a sense of security. I sincerely thank all the staff for giving us a truly wonderful and comfortable stay. I'll definitely choose Le Méridien every time I visit Emei from now on; it's truly worth it.

My stay in Chengdu was truly excellent this time; I absolutely have to give Chengdu Ben Hotel a five-star rating! ❤️ 📍 **Location is incredibly convenient** The hotel is right in the Taikoo Li and Chunxi Road area, making it super easy to go out for food, shopping, and buying things. For first-time visitors to Chengdu, this location is a huge plus. You barely spend any time traveling, and it's very convenient to go out for a stroll in the evening and come back. There are also plenty of dining options nearby; it's easy to find Chengdu hotpot, 'chuanchuan' (skewers), and various snacks. 🛎️ **Service is warm and thoughtful** From the moment I checked in, I felt the staff were very friendly, polite, and patient. They were proactive in helping resolve any issues, not with a cold, 'standardized service,' but truly making you feel taken care of. For a hotel stay during travel, this is actually very important. The cleaning staff's service and attitude were much better than the front desk's. Highly commendable. 🛏️ **Comfortable room with complete facilities** The room was generally clean and tidy, and the space was more comfortable than I expected. The bedding was just the right firmness, and I slept very well at night. The in-room facilities seemed to anticipate guests' needs and were very convenient to use. The hygiene was also well-maintained, making for a comfortable overall experience during my stay. ✨ **Really liked the hotel's overall ambiance** This isn't one of those generic, uninspired hotel experiences. The overall design and details are quite thoughtful and have their own distinct style. Many small details show that the hotel genuinely considers the guest experience, rather than just getting the rooms done and calling it a day. ❤️ **Had a very comfortable stay on this Chengdu trip** For anyone visiting Chengdu, especially those who enjoy exploring Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li, I think this place is definitely worth considering. The location is convenient, the service is good, the rooms are comfortable, and the overall value for money is excellent. If I come to Chengdu again, I'll likely prioritize staying here. Five-star recommendation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Location ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cleanliness ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Facilities ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stay Experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

To Ye-Mood Hotel, We had a marvelous 3-day stay with you — truly wonderful from start to finish! The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable and cosy, with great air-conditioning and heater, thoughtfully equipped with smart gadgets that made our stay so convenient. The staff were warm, welcoming and genuinely friendly — we especially appreciate the lovely aunty who went above and beyond to help us carry our heavy luggage and prepare delicious breakfast each day. The food was simple, tasty and generous — absolutely wonderful! We loved the location — surrounded by many eateries and all within walking distance. It’s easy to get around by Didi or taxi, and just 10 to 15 minutes’ drive to Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. Service like this is truly excellent. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us and being such wonderful hosts. We would love to come back and highly recommend you to everyone! With gratitude, 小蔡 jojo
