2-Star Hotels in Dujiangyan

Modern business emphasizes ”replicability” as the best business model, but I believe that sometimes the irreplicable aspects are the most valuable and the core reason why a company or shop can operate for a long time. For example, the unique ”human touch” of the ”Several Mountain Retreats” where we stayed this time. This trip to Qingcheng Mountain was an ”escape” from the hustle and bustle of the city and work. We chose to come to the mountains on a weekday to avoid being disturbed, but we were also worried about being bored or lonely. ”Several Mountain Retreats” dispelled all our concerns, allowing us to truly experience the peaceful and leisurely life in the mountains. Upon arriving at the guesthouse, the two owners, Colin and Xiaoxiao, welcomed and treated us like old friends, with just the right amount of courtesy. They responded promptly to our small needs. The guesthouse has free self-service laundry; on the first night, my boyfriend forgot to take his clothes to the dryer, and when he came downstairs, he found they were already dried. They remembered our details and prepared extra towels and cups for us. In the evenings, sitting in the courtyard enjoying the breeze and rain, they kindly asked if we wanted some fruit. When we couldn't get a taxi back after eating nearby, they even came to pick us up and ”take us home.” And so on. Every day, the owner's handmade steamed buns and coffee were served for brunch. As a steamed bun and coffee lover, I was ecstatic!!! I usually eat steamed buns and coffee for lunch at home every day, and I never thought I could maintain my old habits even in Qingcheng Mountain. This is truly wonderful! The cat ”Little Tiger” greeted us every day and wanted to be petted. The other cat, ”Little Tabby,” was a bit cautious, but I managed to pet him a few days later (hahaha). I'm a seasoned cat lover, so having cats makes me especially happy. And I'll always remember that night listening to the rain in the courtyard with the two cats. The overall decor of the guesthouse was clearly thoughtful, like a secluded paradise (I even saw a blue dragonfly!). The rooms were very clean, with harmonious colors, and fresh flowers, greenery, and bergamot potted plants everywhere. Every time I stepped into a room, I quickly felt relaxed. The layout was very convenient; for example, the light switches were placed very logically, so I didn't have to walk extra distances to turn the lights on or off. Everything was disposable, so hygiene wasn't a concern. They even thoughtfully provided makeup remover wipes. This is the longest review I've ever written—it's all about love and gratitude!! Fully charged back to work now, thanks Colin and Xiaoxiao!!!

Our family's recent stay at Zizaitian Homestay in Dujiangyan was excellent. We booked the LOFT duplex, which had two levels, offering spacious and airy accommodations – perfect for families. The room was spotlessly clean and decorated in a warm and elegant style, giving it a real home-away-from-home feel. The homestay also features a lovely courtyard, brimming with lush greenery. It’s a wonderful spot to relax quietly and comfortably. The host was incredibly warm and friendly, attentive to all our needs, and promptly helped us with any issues we had. Its location is conveniently close to Dujiangyan, making it easy to get around and explore. It’s a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle, providing a relaxed and comfortable environment for both resting and socializing. Overall, our experience was fantastic, making it an ideal choice for families looking for a short getaway. It's definitely a recommended option when visiting Dujiangyan.

The B&B's location is super convenient. I flew into Chengdu Shuangliu Airport at noon and either picked up a rental car or took a taxi directly to Qin Yan Lou in Dujiangyan. We parked at a village parking lot about 200 meters away. From entrance #6 of Qin Yan Lou, we explored downstream and were able to finish the tour in an afternoon. Nanzhaio Bridge is about 300 meters from the exit, and then it's just a short walk to the B&B. If you have a car, you can just take a taxi from the B&B to Qin Yan Lou to pick it up; it's very close and taxis are easy to find. The owner was incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to help me with several things. Much appreciated! 🙏

If you are planning to go into the mountains, this b&b is a perfect base. Situated in a quiet street, but still within easy reach of restaurants and shops. The owner is very friendly and provides a delicious Chinese breakfast in the morning. Rooms are very clean and have everything you need!

The place is clean and tidy, close to scenic spots, with a beautiful environment. It's a detached villa with an elevator, flexible and livable, perfect for a relaxing stay. The thoughtful service and the kind, enthusiastic owner made the experience truly enjoyable. Moreover, the surrounding area is beautiful with mountains and rivers, joyful laughter, and historic architecture, which is enchanting. Free parking and convenient shopping are also a plus.

There are plenty of restaurants nearby, which is very convenient. The room is spacious and clean, and I even got a free room upgrade. Staying in Sunac is very convenient; there are direct buses to Panda Valley and the high-speed rail station, and taxis are also very convenient and inexpensive. There are also many restaurants nearby, and the area downstairs is lively in the evenings, so it's fine for solo travelers.

From Dujiangyan bus station, a taxi costs 7 yuan. No need to drag your luggage around, you don't want to risk damaging the wheels. The hotel is opposite the school. Traffic is bad in the mornings due to road closures, so allow extra time. It's cheap, clean, and there are plenty of food options near the hotel and shops. It's also close to the panda viewing area. A taxi from there costs 20 yuan.

I booked a windowless room thinking that one day would be enough for visiting Dujiangyan, so would be in the room just to sleep. To my surprise, the room was compact but quite functional, very clean, with sanitized bath towels, clean and skin friendly bed linens. I thought I would feel claustrophobic in a windowless room, but surprisingly it was quite well-ventilated with an exhaust fan, and I was able to rest very well, just like when I stayed in a cave hotel in Kapadoccia, Turkey. Perhaps because I was at the this hotel in early November, the temperature inside the room was quite pleasant, and didn't need to use the air conditioning. I wouldn't know what it would be like to be in this windowless room in the summer. We didn't have any problems with noise, but I noticed that it doesn't have soundproofing. The only thing I didn't like is that the room I was given doesn't have a shower stall, so after using the shower, the bathroom is flooded with water, and if you step in with your shoes to use the toilet, the whole room gets splashed with water

The hotel's decor is quite interesting, but its location is a bit hard to find. I accidentally got lost coming back at night. The front desk is often unattended. The faucet was leaking, the TV's internet was out, and the room door lock was dead, but these issues were resolved quickly. Compared to other guesthouses in the area, I'd say it's pretty decent.

This is a good place to rest. I am surprised that the room even has voice activator, as well as movie projector. Unfortunately, I speak English, and hence could not use the voice activator. This place is on the main road, near the ancient town gate. It is walkable to the food street as well as the famous bridges. It is very near Lidui Park Railway Station. There are other eateries nearby. The room has room heater. The only thing I think guests should be aware of is that the room floor is not at equal level. Although there is a warning sticker on the floor, upon entering the room, be careful. The room is dark, and you may not see the warning sticker before you switch on the light. This place is really good, though.
