Daocheng County Hotels with Balcony

The property is at the very top end in luxury mountain lodges and probably the best I have stayed at in China and offers an experience that exceeds Songtsam and others in this space. It has a stunning location closer to the mountains than the lodging in Yading village which is both good (lots of quiet , better views) and not so good (rides into the village are needed). The service is excellent and very attentive. The rooms are top notch and have an exquisite ******* design. There is even an outdoor pool for the summer season. While the prices are fair for what one gets it does perhaps mean lower occupancy (at least on our visit). After staying three nights did not hesitate to book another stay

This was my second stay. Soaking in the hot springs after hiking the Vajra Challenge Trail in Yading was truly enjoyable. The environment was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, there was plenty of hot water, and the Wi-Fi was stable. The service was warm and attentive. It's great value for money, ensures a good night's sleep, and is a top choice for travelers. Highly recommended.

The room facilities were great! There's a viewing platform downstairs perfect for catching the 'Golden Mountain at Sunrise' (a local scenic phenomenon). Transportation is super convenient too, with Station 1 right outside. After exploring the scenic area, they even helped us bring our stored luggage to the roadside so we could head straight down the mountain. Very thoughtful and helpful!

This guesthouse is a hidden gem in Yading Village. Its location at Station 3 is convenient yet quiet. It faces the majestic Xiannairi peak, perfect for photography enthusiasts who can capture the sunrise over Xiannairi and the golden sunset over Chanadorje from the rooftop. For friends traveling together or families with children, you can relax on the lounge chairs outside the guesthouse's restaurant, facing the snow-capped mountains, and purify your soul. The rooms are equipped with oxygen supply, ensuring a comfortable stay at high altitudes. For families with children, you can head out for a short hike after checking in. The lake is calmer in the afternoon, and the reflections are clearer due to the angle of the light. For those who love hiking, I highly recommend staying a night in Yading Village. This allows ample time for the long trail and helps you acclimatize better to the high altitude, ensuring you're in top form for hiking the next day. The guesthouse also provides complimentary hiking poles, which is a thoughtful touch. Overall, the experience was incredibly comfortable and offered excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

The owner is very welcoming. If you're going to Daocheng, it's a good idea to contact them in advance. You can drop off your luggage at stop #1, and someone will transport it to the hotel. When you're heading back, it's just about a 100m walk from stop #2. The room has a rustic, wood-themed decor and comes with floor heating, plus free oxygen supply. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, and the shower has good water pressure with hot water. The room layout is comfortable, and the decor is quite new. When you open the curtains, you get a fantastic view of the snow-capped mountains – truly a top-notch experience in such a setting. Since there aren't many restaurants nearby, we just ordered food directly from the hotel, and guests get a 12% discount. The ingredients were very fresh, but it's tough to keep food piping hot in high-altitude areas, so there was a bit of a wait for our order, and it cooled down pretty quickly. Reheating it also took some time. 🥲

This hotel is highly recommended. Located within the Daocheng Yading Scenic Area, it's just a few minutes' walk from the visitor center. It has its own large parking lot in front, convenient for those traveling by car. The rooms are spacious, bright, and clean, and even have underfloor heating. They also provide oxygen concentrators to help with altitude sickness. Special praise goes to the hotel owner, who is not only beautiful but also incredibly gentle and kind. She is extremely considerate of guests, treating them like family and valued guests. She even personally explains the scenic routes and highlights to guests; this heartwarming service deserves high praise. I would definitely stay here again next time.

This hotel stay had been one of my all time favorites. The staff were extremely helpful, I got an upgrade to their terrace suite which had a wonderful view of the mountains and over the village of Yading. All of the amenities worked without a problem and the hotel is within walking distance of the busses that take you to and from the scenic spot. However the hotel.also.offers a car service for free that takes you to the entrance of the hiking trail. Also the breakfast was very delicious and more than enough for one person. Overall a perfect experience.

The best choice for a trip to Daocheng Yading is undoubtedly the Crowne Plaza Yading Risong Gongbu Hotel. Located in the heart of Shangri-La town, its 2800-meter altitude is just right, avoiding altitude sickness while providing convenient access to the Yading scenic area entrance – a mere 15-minute drive to the sacred mountains. Upon arrival, a concierge proactively offered to help with luggage, a warm gesture spreading from the moment you stepped out of the car. Entering the double-height lobby, the ******* elements blend seamlessly with modern design. The hanging scroll depicting the three sacred mountains of Yading instantly evoked anticipation for the journey. The seated service during check-in was exceptionally attentive; staff member David offered ginger tea to dispel the chill of the journey and provided a detailed explanation of the scenic route and a guide map. The hotel's dining experience was a highlight of the trip. While the breakfast wasn't as lavish as in inland China, it was certainly excellent for the ******* region.

The room is super cozy, the quality of the bed linen and towels is excellent and it’s located very close to the park entrance. The only observation is in relation to the view, which says it has a mountain view when we booked the Boutique 2-bed Room, but they gave us a room on the ground floor, after insisting, they gave us a room on the third floor, still the view was not that good.

The most surprising part of my trip to Daocheng Yading was this hotel – it completely exceeded my expectations and deserves a five-star rating! The location is superb, the service is excellent, and getting around is incredibly convenient. It's just a few minutes' drive to the scenic area entrance, and some hotels even offer their own shuttle service at the same price as public transportation. Plus, you don't need to share a ride; they even pick you up and drop you off alone. There are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, and pharmacies nearby, offering a quiet oasis amidst the bustling city, making it convenient for both sightseeing and daily life. The room experience was simply phenomenal! The ******* aesthetics blend seamlessly with modern design, with meticulous attention to detail. The Thangka decorations in the corridors and the wooden décor create a wonderful atmosphere. The best room was the one with a snow-capped mountain view – floor-to-ceiling windows facing the mountain peaks, and waking up to sunlight streaming into bed was incredibly comfortable. The room was impeccably clean, the bedding was soft and comfortable, toiletries were complete, and the hot water supply was reliable, making showering a truly relaxing experience. I slept soundly and peacefully. Electric blankets and a humidifier were provided, keeping the room warm and dry even in winter – such thoughtful details! The service was also impeccable! The staff were warm and attentive, turning on the hot water in advance and patiently explaining the tour route and precautions against altitude sickness. They provided free oxygen concentrators and even helped with vehicle booking and luggage handling, offering a welcoming and family-like experience. The local restaurant served incredibly authentic ******* cuisine, with delicious yak hotpot, matsutake chicken soup, and rich, comforting butter tea. Here, you can see snow-capped mountains through the window, gaze at the starry sky, and breathe in pure, clean air. It's the perfect choice for accommodation in Daocheng Yading, offering both a taste of ******* culture and attentive service! Excellent value for money; I've already recommended it to friends and will definitely stay here again next time. Highly recommend it to everyone visiting Daocheng Yading!
