Songpan Hotels with Breakfast

My stay at the Yala Snow Mountain Tibetan-style family room was fantastic! The 80-square-meter space was spacious and comfortable, with a wooden ceiling and warm-toned decor creating a cozy ******* atmosphere. The valley view was a highlight, with stunning scenery visible through the large windows. Special praise goes to the hotel's attention to detail: the welcome fruit was incredibly fresh, and the unforgettable ******* butter tea was rich and flavorful, showcasing authentic hospitality. Even though we arrived late, they provided a complimentary shuttle from the high-speed rail station and a traditional ******* khata (ceremonial scarf). The surrounding farmland and yaks were incredibly soothing. Milk wasn't available for breakfast on the first day, but it was provided on the second. The hotel facilities were also excellent, and the bathtub in the room was perfect for relaxation. The wine cabinet in the public area was particularly impressive, with its elegant design and extensive selection of wines, reflecting the hotel's refined taste. Overall, the facilities, cleanliness, environment, and service were all satisfactory, making it a perfect stay. I highly recommend it to travelers seeking unique and high-quality accommodations! It's exactly as pictured in the promotional materials.

The courtyard's layout is artfully arranged, with every detail meticulously crafted – from the dry landscape garden in the corner to the red lanterns under the eaves and the old water缸 in the patio, each element exudes the charm of Chinese aesthetics. What's truly captivating is that despite its prime location in the heart of Songpan Ancient City (No. 22, Wenmiao Back Alley, North Street, Jin'an Town), with the main street right outside for easy access to shopping and dining, the courtyard itself offers a peaceful sanctuary, isolated from the external hustle and bustle. Sitting by the tea table in the courtyard, basking in the warm highland sun, watching the light and shadows dance slowly across the bluestone slabs, and listening to the wind chimes under the eaves – that feeling of 'dwelling in the human world yet free from the clamor of carriages and horses' is something you truly have to experience to understand.

I fell in love with this B&B after searching on Xiaohongshu, and the reviews on Ctrip made it even more appealing. My friend and I are the type who prefer a relaxed, easy-going travel style, so we love places with scenic views from the windows, where we can easily take the kids to play in the snow, and where there's free transportation and good service. Although it didn't snow on the weekend we visited, and it was sunny and smoggy, the B&B's back hillside was shady, and the snow from the previous days was still there – more than enough! The owners were incredibly easygoing; they arranged for a driver to pick us up from the station early on. The driver was super helpful, even helping with the kids and luggage. Later, when we said we wanted to go for a walk, the owners suggested we drive our own car if we didn't want to wait for the driver. We ended up driving to the train station ourselves – it was so relaxing! My back didn't even hurt anymore after all that playing. I'll definitely come back next time!

First, let me start by praising the landlady! Haha! When it comes to accommodation, there are three key things: cleanliness, service, and value for money! Xingchen not only excels in these three aspects but also pays great attention to details! 1. **Cleanliness**: The cleanliness is top-notch, and they've thought of everything. Even the toilets are high-end. 2. **Service**: I was coming down from Huanglong Scenic Area, it was already dark, and my feet were aching. I tried calling, and the landlady answered. Her words, ”Where are you? I'll arrange a car to pick you up,” gave me a warmth usually reserved for family. Only a close relative would speak like that. When I got back to the guesthouse, I was so tired that I had a headache and an upset stomach. The landlady brewed me a cup of local tea, which I'm truly grateful for. I also have to mention that the food was delicious, breakfast was good, and the cold dishes were particularly tasty! 3. **Value for money**: When I first arrived at the entrance, I was amazed by its grandeur. Walking into the room, I was impressed by its spaciousness and cozy layout. The stargazing room was much better than anything I saw at Lugu Lake, with both central heating and underfloor heating. 4. **Details**: What touched me the most was that they provide conditioner for female guests. There's only one type of cup. But what I absolutely must highlight are the incredibly comfortable slippers! These are the best slippers I've ever worn in any hotel, inn, or guesthouse, bar none. This thoughtful touch could only come from the landlady's meticulousness! **In summary!** It's truly excellent, five-star worthy! If you're going to Huanglong, choose Xingchen; you won't regret it! They have limited rooms, so it's best to book in advance. Finally, when we went to Songpan Ancient City, the landlady even arranged a private car for us at 50 yuan per person! Thank you, landlady!! I wasn't feeling well at the time, so I didn't take any photos, but I love the flowers at the entrance. (Picture below is...)

The room wasn't big and didn't have air conditioning, but it had underfloor heating and an electric blanket, so it wasn't cold while sleeping. The reception was on the second floor, accessible by elevator to the guest rooms. The second floor also served as a tea and relaxation area. A river ran in front of the hotel, separated by a road; parking was convenient. However, on a December morning, we found our car windows covered in ice. The owner kindly poured a basin of hot water on them, and the ice melted instantly. The town is small, and there are many small restaurants near the hotel.

I left something behind after checking out, but thanks to Xiao Wang's excellent service, they helped me find it and even shipped it back home.

The hostess was incredibly welcoming and welcoming. She even went out of her way to pick me up at the high-speed rail station and offered tips for nearby attractions. There's also a restaurant upstairs, with breakfast service. The room was very comfortable, beautiful, and clean. Traveling alone in a small town, I felt incredibly safe, knowing I could ask the friendly hostess anything. I highly recommend this hotel! Thanks, hostess!

The hotel is quite close to Huanglong Scenic Area and has its own underground parking garage. The owner was also very thoughtful. We arrived at 9 PM, and she had already turned on the underfloor heating for us in advance. However, the overall facilities felt a bit average; some parts of the underfloor heating worked, while others didn't. The toothbrush cups in the bathroom were disposable, and the facilities seem a few years old.

The room view was fantastic! 👍 The panorama was expansive, and in the morning, when I drew the curtains, sunlight streamed over the mountains opposite. Although the hotel's location is a bit out of the way, it's definitely worth staying. A lovely lady picked me up from the train station, and the front desk staff were also very welcoming. Even without a car, there's no need to worry about transportation; the hotel arranges drivers for pick-ups and drop-offs. It's also very convenient for getting to Huanglong.

The hotel is located pretty near to Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport, around 6-7 km, hence the location is perfect for travelers who arrive by evening flight who wish to visit Huanglong Scenic Area before proceeding to Jiuzhaigou, like us. The hotel provides airport transfer from Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport to the hotel for free. You need to call them on the day of departure/arrival at 9 AM to arrange for airport transfer. You also need a local phone number or WeChat account in order to communicate with the chauffeur. They charge RMB 50 for return transfer back to the airport. The chauffeur, Mr Gen, also drove us to and from Huanglong back to hotel the next day for RMB 200. Mr Gen was extremely helpful. My sister slipped and fell while in Huanglong and needed to go to hospital. He drove us to a local hospital and waited patiently for us to finish seeing doctor, getting x-ray done and getting medicine. Xiao Tai at front desk was friendly and helpful. She provided us a few bottles of water before we went to Huanglong. The restaurant staff was also very helpful. As the restaurant was extremely crowded during dinner, we requested for room service and they delivered our order to our room with no extra charges.
