4-Star Hotels in Deqin

The most surprising thing about this trip to Yubeng was to choose the Slow Mountain Hotel. The location is in Yubeng Village. The view of the room is really amazing. You can face the snow-capped mountains directly when you sit in the house. The scenery is unobstructed. It is completely beyond expectations that the food in the store is very appetizing. It is really rare to eat such a delicious meal in the mountains where the transportation of materials is inconvenient. The store especially knows hiking tourists. In addition to exquisite afternoon tea, you can also change to hiking meals. His burger must be tried. The filling is solid and tastes great. It is just right to replenish energy on the mountain road. The comfort of high-altitude accommodation is full, the room is equipped with oxygen supply equipment, humidifier, and small whole house smart, no need to manually switch lights and adjust equipment, live easily and worry-free. The service details are particularly poking people. The staff will take the initiative to call to confirm our arrival time before check-in and make arrangements in advance. The room also prepared a foot bath bucket, which was sore for a few days on foot. After soaking at night, the fatigue of the feet disappeared and the warmth was full. From just arriving at the store to checking in, to three meals, every staff member in the store is gentle and enthusiastic, and the demand is very fast. The whole trip was comfortable, satisfied, and the scenery was excellent. There was no slot. After that, a friend came to Yubeng. I will definitely recommend Slow Mountain!

This was truly a moving stay! We checked in during Chinese New Year, and because of a flight delay, we didn't arrive until after midnight. The owner came out in the middle of the night to help us with our luggage, turned on the oxygen machine for us, and even brought us instant noodles – absolutely thoughtful! What was even more touching was when they later found out we wanted to go to the observation deck the night before to secure a parking spot. They proactively offered to pick us up, knowing that walking would involve an uphill climb and be quite tiring. My goodness, they offered to pick us up! Even though it was only a 5-minute walk, with the altitude and the climb, the owner's thoughtfulness was incredible and brought tears to my eyes. Getting back to the point, the hotel's location is excellent. The rooftop terrace goes without saying, and the interior of the guesthouse is also absolutely amazing. I've attached photos – perfect for those 'once-in-a-lifetime' shots!

Everything about our stay was perfect! We got a complimentary upgrade to a family room directly facing Shennv Peak, and the views were incredible. But seriously, the absolute best part was having a washer, dryer, AND a humidifier! That humidifier was a lifesaver! The next night, I stayed at the Youle Hotel in Upper Yubeng for 1300 a night, and they didn't have a humidifier. My friend and I couldn't sleep because our throats hurt so much from the dry air, and we both woke up with nosebleeds the next morning. With floor heating, a humidifier is truly essential! The breakfast was delicious, and the service was excellent. We were offered drinks upon arrival, and they even prepared essential energy supplements (like Snickers, Pocari Sweat, and glucose) for our hike, tailored to the number of people in our group. Honestly, the value for money here was exceptional. I deeply regretted choosing a more expensive place in Upper Yubeng the next day. Every moment I was there, I found myself regretting my decision and longing for Yushan in Lower Yubeng. It had great service, great quality, excellent hygiene, and a wonderful environment. I should have just stayed at Yushan the whole time. You can take a pickup truck up to Upper Yubeng for the Ice Lake hike for only 120 per person round trip, or 240 for two. Why stay in Upper Yubeng where accommodation is twice as expensive when you can get so much more at a guesthouse in Lower Yubeng?

When I booked the room, it was advertised as a ”room with a view.” In reality, every morning at 7:30 AM, I'd open all the electric curtains (without turning on the lights) and lie in bed watching the sunrise gild Kawagebo Peak. In the evenings, I'd marvel as the pink sunset clouds, like cotton candy, enveloped me. Once the glow faded, I'd spend an hour gazing at the starry sky, feeling like I'd captured the entire cosmos in my heart. Absolutely breathtaking. (To circle back) I received a call from the hotel saying they'd pick me up at Ninong Parking Lot 🅿️ and help with my backpack – a complimentary service. (For me, it was incredible; though I personally found this service a bit counter-intuitive.) If it hadn't been for the kind young man who carried my backpack, I would have given up on the discouraging slope leading to the ticket office, feeling a bit embarrassed to quit. (If you stay at this hotel, you don't need to bring trekking poles; they provide them, so I didn't bring mine.) Every morning at 8:30 AM, after enjoying the golden sunrise on the mountain, I'd head to breakfast. The nutritious and balanced breakfast, complete with a friendly little cat (this particularly clingy cat is named Er Pao, and she's a new mom!), prepared me for exploring the various hiking trails. I was thoroughly impressed with the room's amenities (elegant yet understated). I loved sitting on the warm carpet, sipping tea, reading a book, listening to music, and basking in the sun – perfect! I truly didn't want to leave, savoring this most serene time in a secluded paradise. Every encounter is a blessing. Looking back, it was truly the best gift. Many thanks to the three young men for their hard work. They appear when needed and ”disappear” when solitude is desired.

The room was fantastic, with a balcony directly overlooking the snow-capped mountains. They thoughtfully provided two foot bath tubs. We were quite tired upon arrival at the village, and soaking our feet completely refreshed us, making us ready to head straight to the glacial lake the very next day – what a thoughtful touch! The chicken soup noodles were delicious, and the packed lunch they provided for our journey was great too. The resident cat was adorable!

Traveling from Deqin to Shangri-La, I didn't want to rush, so I chose this as a stopover. I love this kind of boutique luxury hotel, where all the guests are soft-spoken. The hotel faces the Jinsha River, and the riverside pool is perfect for photos. The room was spacious enough, and the facilities were very well-maintained, as if the hotel had just opened. The breakfast at the restaurant was very extensive and delicious. What deserves the most praise is every single hotel employee I encountered, from the front desk to the restaurant staff—each person's smile was so warm, like the gentle morning glow.

I stayed here for 2 nights and had an amazing experience. The room provides a great view of the mountains with floor to ceiling windows and everything in the room, including the bed, chairs, clothes rack and bathroom, are well-maintained and clean. The room provides a sense of luxury and cleanliness during your getaway to this village. The location is excellent, as you are one of the first, if not the first accommodation facing the mountains, so the view is excellent. It is in a great location for exploring upper yubeng and the glacier lake. What made our stay unforgettable was the amazing service we received by the owner and staff whilst we stayed here. The lady provided us with everything we needed to know during our stay in yubeng, including sunrise times, and answered any and every question we had about yubeng as a whole. They provided an atmosphere that was very welcoming and it really does feel like I was invited to stay at their home. They provided free water and free laundry service, as well as free use of hiking poles for our hikes. The breakfast included was excellent and was different for each day we stayed, and they provide you with a free lunch pack to take on your hike, which was a nice gesture which we appreciated. Additionally, everyone here speaks both mandarin and cantonese, so if you're travelling from Guangdong or Hong Kong and would like to feel at home, this is the perfect place to be. Overall, this was an amazing accommodation to stay at due to the amazing service, location and facilities and the owner and her family really do treat you like family. I would highly recommend staying here, and if I ever come back to yubeng, I will definitely stay here again!
