Meili JiangLu

While the location of Jianglu is quite good and the rooms are generally nice, being right next to the Wunongding Observation Deck, I initially thought the price was excellent. However, there were a few dissatisfying points. Firstly, there's no accessible ramp at the entrance, and the main door is often closed, which meant staff weren't readily available to help with luggage, making it inconvenient for guests to carry their own. Secondly, having a washer and dryer is great, but either offer a purely self-service option or don't give notes that lead guests to believe their laundry will be dried and returned to their room, only to find out they have to retrieve it themselves. If they're aiming for five-star service, there's definitely room for improvement.

I was very satisfied with the Songtsam Linka Shangri-La hotel. I was feeling a bit of altitude sickness on the day I arrived, and they provided me with glucose. I could also use oxygen in my room. In the morning, I could see the beautiful sunrise over the snow-capped mountains from the balcony of room 403. The black chicken soup noodles for breakfast were delicious 😋

The hotel's location is superb! I booked a 'Mao Ding' room on the 3rd floor but got a free upgrade to a 'Li Nong' room on the 4th floor. It's on the same floor as the restaurant's observation deck, so the view is fantastic. The best part is being able to sit on the balcony and enjoy the 'Golden Mountain in the Sun' view. Absolutely great value for money!
