Li County Hotels with Balcony

This is a Tang Dynasty-style guesthouse hidden deep in the village of Gulgou. It's about a 20-minute drive from Gulgou town. We arrived late at night in the dark, and the owner came down from the roadside to help us with our luggage. The guesthouse is built into the mountainside, so there are steps leading up and down, which can be a bit tiring. However, the view is absolutely stunning. Opening the windows and doors, you can see the distant colorful forests and snow-capped mountains, completely unobstructed. Every detail in the rooms is exquisite and refined. The carpets, stools, beds, washbasins, etc., were all carefully designed by the owner and handcrafted by artisans. They are truly unique and cannot be replicated. In the evening, we warmed ourselves by burning firewood in the fireplace. Sitting around the coffee table on the carpet, drinking tea and wine, we weren't cold at all. We chatted for a long time, sharing our views on Tang Dynasty history and modern society. The owner was very knowledgeable, and we listened attentively. At night, with the electric blankets on, we weren't cold either. The guesthouse is quiet, far from the hustle and bustle. We slept in until we naturally woke up in the morning. Breakfast was simple: sweet potato porridge, eggs, shumai, pickled vegetables, etc. It wasn't fancy, but it felt very much like ordinary rural life. We only stayed one day, but I must say, it's worth staying longer to experience a different way of life.

The hotel boasts an excellent, quiet, and easy-to-find location. There's an underground parking garage with charging stations, which is great for electric vehicles. The environment is elegant, with a lovely little courtyard downstairs. The courtyard's style is truly fantastic; it's so relaxing to sit there after a tiring day of sightseeing. The service is impeccable; the owner is incredibly thoughtful. I had planned to ask them to turn on the underfloor heating an hour beforehand, but to my surprise, they had already thoughtfully turned it on for us without us even asking. The room facilities are also very comprehensive, with smart home features throughout, and it's spotlessly clean. The owner clearly put a lot of effort into the decor, and all the toiletries are high-quality. In the morning, the owner provided us with their homemade yak noodle soup, which was incredibly delicious and flavorful. Moreover, the owner is a wonderful person. Since dogs aren't allowed in the scenic area, the owner even helped us look after our dog and turned on the air conditioning for our furry friend, fearing it might get cold! Truly, truly exceptional!

This hotel is really great! You can park right outside, and it's super close to the Bipenggou scenic area. The lobby is lovely, and the location is fantastic. The facilities are comprehensive, and the rooms even have a private hot spring bath, which is so convenient, especially with the disposable bath liners provided. The room was spotless, and the service was excellent.

Best stay ever ! If I would come Bipenggou, I will stay at this homestay again. The uncle & aunty are super friendly that make you feel so warm. There is a dog, I think the name is Kangbao. Super friendly dog, welcoming you from the dog the moment you arrived the hotel. The room is exactly the same as advertised. They will provide you disposable towel and amenities. Best part, you can have xiao du (smart home) to control the curtain and probably lights (we only tried with the curtain). Morning breakfast was super delicious even though is simple. It taste so homely. You won't regret staying here. It is located 30mins away from Bipenggou entrance but it is a town area where you can explore.

I was incredibly lucky to get a room upgrade during the May Day holiday. You can really tell the owner is dedicated to creating a high-end hotel with a sophisticated, photogenic interior in this small county town. They were proactive in contacting us before check-in and offered concierge service. I even met a staff member who proudly told us that they change the hot spring water daily. It's clear a lot of thought went into the room design as well. While Gurgou is a small place I probably won't visit again, I truly hope the establishment thrives. It would be wonderful if more travelers visiting this area could enjoy not just comfort, but also a beautiful and enriching experience.

Service: We arrived in Li County from Chengdu on Saturday afternoon, after 9 pm, past dinner time. But!! We brought our own food and asked the owner to cook it for us. The owner cooked it for free and even delivered it to our room! They were incredibly warm and patient! Environment: I was very satisfied with the environment. It was a small wooden cabin with a courtyard, with varying elevations. The soundproofing and privacy were excellent. The courtyard was well-maintained by the owner; it was beautiful and quiet. At night, I could hear the raindrops falling on the eaves, a gentle patter, and nothing else. I had a rare good night's sleep.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Overall, a very pleasant experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and quick to assist with requests. The location was convenient, near to Bipenggou entrance park. The only downside was hard to find halal food nearby. I would stay here again and recommend it for short stays.

Great location, new and clean facilities, and a super comfy bed with a heated blanket under the bed sheet so no more dry air from a heater. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The highlight was definitely the toilet — the best I’ve seen in China, with a warm seat! Will definitely come back and highly recommend this place. 👍

Environment: Decent, the room I booked had a view of the snow-capped mountains. Facilities: A bit old, but it's an old hotel, over ten years old, so it's well-maintained compared to when it first opened. The front desk staff, Zhu Jing, was very thoughtful and helped me switch to a room closer to the main building, which made it more convenient for hot springs and breakfast. The hot springs were very comfortable and relaxing.

The hotel is located right by the mountain road, offering the great convenience of parking directly in front of your room. The two-story wooden cabin is quite unique and charming. The second-floor balcony is a lovely spot to enjoy tea and take in the scenery. The upstairs bedroom faces east, making it ideal for catching the sunrise, though I unfortunately didn't get to witness it during my stay.
