5-Star Hotels in Longmen

I had bookmarked this place two years ago, and it just so happened that my stay fell on my birthday. I specifically chose a hotel over a guesthouse, and it really lived up to expectations! The environment and cleanliness were excellent. Parking was super convenient with multiple underground levels of parking spots. I was very satisfied with the hotel's breakfast buffet; I took my time, watching the plants outside the window and spacing out for an hour. Even though I didn't eat much, listening to the music was so enjoyable. My parents went to the hot springs and said the water was very clean, but I didn't go in. I'd definitely come back again if I get the chance! The front desk staff, both the ladies and the 'little dog' (presumably a male staff member, possibly a playful nickname), were very enthusiastic and helpful! The pool was also beautiful, but it was regular temperature, not heated, so I couldn't go in.

If you're going for hot springs, you really need to find a place nestled in the mountains like this. The resort is built into the hillside, offering a great environment and excellent water quality. These are genuine hot springs – you can soak for ages, and your hands won't even wrinkle. Dining is convenient too, with both Chinese and Western restaurants available within the hotel (Building 3 is close to the back exit if you want to explore the street, while Building 2 is nearer the hot springs). The hotel breakfast has a wide variety. I'll definitely be back. The hotel rooms are also very good and clean; I forgot to take pictures, but I'll do so next time.

Before going, I was a bit apprehensive after reading many reviews, as opinions on the hygiene conditions were quite polarized. However, my daughter and her friends were set on the abundant water and indoor children's play facilities, which none of the nearby hotels could match. So, I bit the bullet and booked it! I even prepared for the worst: bringing my own bedding, toilet seat covers, and even toilet paper, in case the room hygiene was too poor... Upon opening the room door, I quickly scanned the room and bathroom and felt it was decent. Although it had a dated feel, everything was about 80-90% clean, which was pretty good. The only issue was that it was a holiday, so there were many people, and room cleaning was slow. Our cheapest room type was ready by around 3 PM, but my friend's room, which had an indoor hot spring tub, wasn't ready until 4 or 5 PM. It turns out, with the hot springs downstairs, we didn't even use the tub. There was a surprise! Our room was on the second floor, and fireworks were being set off right below us, the kind that launch high and explode with a loud bang. They were incredibly close to our balcony, practically exploding right in front of it. I closed the balcony glass door, worried a stray firework might come in, but the fireworks display was beautiful to watch, albeit a bit dangerous... 😓 They kept going until well past 11:30 PM, constantly exploding. If you're timid or sensitive to noise, it would have been quite a fright. Worth a second visit.
