2-Star Hotels in Daocheng County

First, let me mention the hygiene – it was truly excellent. They provided disposable towels, and the toothbrushes were of very good quality. There were three of us staying, and the owner even provided three pairs of slippers. Upstairs, there was a ******* clothing experience; the owner's sister even helped braid our hair and explained ******* culture to us. Since we were students without a car, the owner picked us up and took us to the guesthouse. When we wanted to go to town for food, the owner also offered to drive us there. The next day, we were going to Daocheng Yading, and the owner wanted to take us to the scenic area entrance, but since our tour leader had already picked us up, he declined. The whole family was very welcoming (including Little Golden Retriever Potato). You could tell the owner's brother and sister were dedicated to running the guesthouse.

Grandfather and Grandma took care of me on the day I went. The service is good, but they don't understand much in communicating. The hotel has a beautiful view but has a musty smell. There is an electric blanket. Hot water is not hot in the bathroom. He intended to serve, but it was as good as this. Overall, if you don't think too much, you can rest.

This is an exceptionally good hotel! So good that even a lazy person like me who rarely writes reviews has to give it a thumbs up. I've stayed in countless hotels all over the country, and this is truly the most comfortable and cost-effective one I've ever stayed in. The location isn't particularly hard to find, and the decor is excellent—very new and clean. The rooms are large, the beds are very comfortable, and the blankets are soft. It's quiet in a residential area, with minimal noise at night. If the entire building were converted into a hotel, it wouldn't be inferior to many five-star hotels. There's a convenience store downstairs, making shopping very convenient. The hotel owner's service attitude is also excellent (part of this review is because of his good attitude; otherwise, I'm too lazy to bother with follow-up reviews). Finally, here are a few photos taken in Yading. In short, it's an exceptionally good hotel, and a very enjoyable trip.

The accommodation is not close to the bus station, but you have to drag your luggage up a hill. There is a lift service and you can leave your luggage overnight. The room does not have air conditioning, but there is a fan.

For the price, the hotel is really value for money. The service is excellent and the hotel staff will promptly attend to your request. The lady boss even took the trouble to notify us when she noticed that our car lights were left on when parked. The bath is also good with rain shower and strong water pressure. There is also free laundry service and the staff provided extra hangers for drying the washed clothes. The bed heater is warm enough for a good night's sleep in cold weather. Breakfast provided is decent and hot. You can also buy oxygen at a super cheap price from the front desk. Besides the room decor being a bit dated and some maintenance are needed, this hotel provides everything you need at a really affordable price.

The sign board is in Chinese only. So, it is quite difficult for foreigner like me to get to the right building. Even my local taxi driver can not. Fortunately, the owner lady and friends are sittings at the roadside waiting for customers or passerby who looks for an accommodation. The owner lady is very generous and servicible. She helps me carrying my big luggage from street to the homestay. She also show me how to use facilities in the room. She speaks only chinese but I can not. So, she suggest me to contact her via Wechat which I can use translation feature. In the morning before I am going to visit Yading Scenic Spot, she offers me an treking pole too. Nevertheless, Due to the early departure time of bus to Xianggelila, I figure out whether I move to stay in town for another day after finishing 3-day booking here. She asks me if I have nothing to do in town and decide to continue staying. She can provide a free pick-up to the bus station by her family car at 5.30 a.m. That is great. The room is small and simple but tidy. Bed is firm and comfortable. It comes with electronic blanket which helps alot because it is freezing at night. Bathroom and toilet are clean. Hot water is provided all day in night. Shower pressure is strong and easy to adjust the temperature. However, bathroom and toilet are humid and difficult to dry because of the cold weather. Wifi is strong.

This hotel has its issues. The overall location, sanitation, and environment are excellent, and the hostess's overall service was also excellent. But why did they give them a bad review for the service? I don't know if it's her son or her husband who's the one with the worst brains. I added him on WeChat to get an invoice, but I sent him a screenshot by mistake. I originally booked the wrong room type at this hotel, so I changed it, so I sent him the wrong screenshot. He got furious. The voicemail said I'd already checked out, so why would they issue an invoice? They're legally responsible, and then he blocked me. I tried to verify my identity by telling him that the screenshot was wrong and that I actually stayed at their hotel. He blocked me and refused to let me go. I'm just asking you for your bad temper. Working in the service industry, are you out of your mind?!

Traveling alone, I found this place to be very budget-friendly, saving me a lot compared to staying in a standard room for 400-500 yuan by myself. In the dorm, I met fellow outdoor hiking enthusiasts, and we had great conversations. The service here is excellent; the front desk offers free luggage storage and provides mountain essentials like oxygen tanks, jackets, raincoats, and trekking poles. The owner is also very enthusiastic about sharing travel tips for the scenic area. Highly recommended!

I was there twice, before and after visiting yading reserve. The first time was nice, the room and shower weren't the best but ok, and the lady at the reception was super helpful with all my questions. On the second time, there was a problem with the water which I only found out after I entered the shower. A small sign could have helped. Eventually I got the water for the shower but later I wanted to go for the toilet and couldn't flush since there were no water, and there was nobody at the reception to ask for help. They changed my bed and the wall near the new bed was filty, and somewhen after midnight they entered the room while I was asleep, turned the light on and started changing the covers for a new girl in the room. I'm sorry but that should have happened during daylight, not at this time, or they should have just given her one of the other vacant beds in the room.

It ok for one night for the early bus next morning as hotel is literally few minutes walk to the station and that merely advantage.
