"The room had a great view of the snow mountains (both pictured). The room was quiet and clean and comfortable."

"Jianglu's service is exceptional. I had previously read reviews mentioning that while the facilities were good, the service fell short, and I almost missed out on this hidden gem of a hotel. During my visit to Meili Snow Mountain, I stayed at Songtsam, Ji Xia Shan, Jianglu, and Shi Qi. I feel I can confidently comment on the overall service of each. First, regarding butler service: I made a last-minute booking for Jianglu around 5 PM, and immediately after, Jianglu contacted me to add my butler on WeChat. Songtsam added me two days in advance. For Shi Qi, I had to actively call them in the late afternoon, almost 5 PM, the day before check-in to get added. Ji Xia Shan didn't contact me until almost 8 PM the night before check-in, and again, I had to call them to add the butler (Ji Xia Shan explained that they had called me around 3 PM that afternoon but no one answered, and then they asked Trip.com to send me an SMS, but no one followed up to check on the next day's guests – I was quite disappointed by this, as I would have been forgotten if I hadn't called proactively). Aside from these issues, the butler service at all hotels was generally good. Regarding location and snow mountain views: Jianglu is right next to the observation deck, directly facing the Thirteen Peaks – an excellent location. You can enjoy panoramic views of the snow mountain from the balcony, though it's a bit tricky to see while lying down. Ji Xia Shan is more secluded; only the suites seem to offer direct snow mountain views from the room, while other rooms don't. During summer, definitely avoid the Yunling room type. They claim you can see Baima and Meili Snow Mountain, but it's completely obstructed by vegetation. You'd be better off booking a cheaper room type. The floor-to-ceiling windows in Ji Xia Shan's fourth-floor cafe observation deck offer stunning snow mountain views. Shi Qi is across the road from Feilai Temple observation deck, surrounded by bookstores, cultural creative shops, convenience stores, and many other guesthouses. I chose the 'Lianshan' room, which in pictures showed the bed directly facing the snow mountain, but it's not actually direct. The cafe also has floor-to-ceiling windows, offering beautiful snow mountain views. Songtsam's snow mountain rooms truly allow you to see the snow mountain from bed. Songtsam is located on a separate mountain, and it's the only hotel there. So, if your budget is around 3,000 RMB, unless you're staying at Songtsam where you can see the snow mountain from bed, for other hotels, I recommend booking the cheapest room type and just going to the observation deck for the views. Regarding noise: If you prefer peace and quiet, definitely avoid Shi Qi. The Feilai Temple scenic area is very lively, and new hotels are being built nearby, plus the hotel itself is renovating its restaurant. The hotel is also right by the road, with large trucks frequently passing by and honking – the noise is truly terrible. However, if you enjoy a lively atmosphere, the Feilai Temple area is like a small town with many shops, and construction hours are from 9 AM to 6 PM. Jianglu, Ji Xia Shan, and Songtsam, on the other hand, are all very quiet and perfect for a relaxing and healthy getaway. Regarding dining: The food at all these places is decent. Shi Qi's meal prices are significantly cheaper than the others, though their stir-fries are a bit on the oily side. Only Songtsam's breakfast starts at 7 AM, which is great for early risers or those needing to leave early. Songtsam's beef 'er-si' (rice noodles) is delicious; when I asked the chef for a few more pieces of beef, he gave me a whole bowlful. The other hotels' breakfasts all start at 8 AM. Jianglu is unique in that breakfast runs until 1 PM and is unlimited. Regarding afternoon tea: The cakes at Shi Qi's afternoon tea are very good, and they have many drink options. Jianglu's afternoon tea is simpler, with only green tea available. However, their paid coffee bar offers a wide selection of drinks, including hot cocktails, which was a pleasant surprise for me as I can't have cold drinks. Songtsam's afternoon tea is buffet-style. Ji Xia Shan offers complimentary coffee and tea all day, and their afternoon tea features delicious dried beef. Regarding facilities: Jianglu is quite distinctive and very thoughtful. Besides the usual fruits and snacks, Jianglu's rooms also provide facial masks and facial cleansing towels, and even condoms. At the front desk, you can find self-service makeup remover wipes, hair ties, hair clips, motion sickness patches, and more. Regarding ginger tea: For me, ginger tea is excellent for relieving altitude sickness and stomach discomfort. Songtsam's ginger tea is the best, with perfect taste and temperature. Jianglu's is a bit too sweet and lukewarm, Ji Xia Shan's is too spicy, and Shi Qi doesn't offer ginger tea. In summary, I am very satisfied with Jianglu. Coincidentally, I only saw the 'Golden Mountain at Sunrise' during my stay at Jianglu, which felt very fortunate. Jianglu is also great for photos, with a very textured feel, and I was very happy with the travel photoshoot I had there."

"Late night arrival Check in was ok with the use of translation apps Great location for seeing the sun rise on melie snow mountain range so long as the weather gods are kind Great room and very helpful staff willing to go the extra mile as we arrived after the kitchen was closed they arranged a local restaurant to come pick me up so I could get a takeaway and bring me back. Awesome"

"Our family of five booked two rooms. The owner was very kind, and although the hotel had just opened, there were no strange odors or a 'new renovation' feel. It's very close to the Feilai Temple viewing platform, just a 10-minute walk. All in all, a strong endorsement from a Diamond member."

"This is a great hotel, perfectly situated in the front row facing the Meili Snow Mountains, right at the Wunongding viewing platform. It's also a bit more affordable than The Auberge. The owner upgraded us to the top-floor room, which was spacious and newly renovated, just like the pictures. The disposable slippers were thick-soled and very comfortable. The oxygen machine, though a bit noisy, was incredibly effective; we didn't feel any discomfort all night. What's more, the thin quilt provided for summer was just right for the night – finally, no more being too hot with it on and too cold with it off! The rooftop on the fifth floor is perfect for stargazing, and they even provide tripods for cameras and phones, which was a thoughtful touch. Dinner, cooked by the guesthouse chef, could be delivered to our room and was delicious. The breakfast rice noodles were tasty, but the nine-square grid set was just average. The afternoon tea fruit was exceptionally sweet. The owner was very kind and enthusiastic, offering to help with our luggage, and they have an adorable golden retriever. The only minor drawback was that the cotton swabs weren't paper-stemmed and were quite soft. Overall, highly recommended and worth a stay!"

"The views are absolutely unbeatable, and I even got to see the golden peak at sunrise (Mount Everest in golden light). The service was incredibly attentive, and the room facilities were excellent, including diffused oxygen supply, which was a great bonus. Come and see the golden peak I photographed!"

"The B&B owner was really welcoming! They picked us up with a small electric cart, helped with our luggage, and even found a parking spot for us. There are plenty of restaurants right outside, serving both breakfast and dinner, and it's only about a ten-minute walk to the observation deck."

"Returning after six years, the hotel butler thoughtfully upgraded us to a deluxe room with a snow mountain view. We could see the majestic Kawagebo directly from our bed, and the weather was exceptionally good this time, offering a clear view of the snow-capped mountains. The hotel breakfast has also significantly improved since our last visit. This season, with fewer crowds and beautiful scenery, it's definitely highly recommended."

"Great location, beautiful views, excellent facilities, and fantastic service. Waking up to the golden sunlight on the mountains through the floor-to-ceiling windows on our second day made it so hard to leave! The fifth-floor view offers a great alternative to the paid observation deck, which is very convenient. The restaurant has a good variety of dinner options, and the food is delicious and reasonably priced."
