Daocheng County Hotels with balcony

"Our experience was absolutely fantastic, primarily due to the incredibly kind and approachable owner. We encountered some personal issues during our stay and when we asked the owner for help, they were incredibly enthusiastic and supportive in resolving them. Because our hiking route was quite unique, the owner even gave us a blessing bracelet for a safe journey down the mountain. The room was very clean and offered stunning views of the snow-capped mountains. The hotel's location is also excellent, right inside Yading Village, less than 50 meters from Station 1 where the shuttle bus from the scenic area entrance stops. This is perfect for those who've just arrived at high altitude and want to avoid too much walking. Station 2, where you catch the bus into the scenic area, is also less than 100 meters away, and it's just a 10-minute ride to the park entrance. The hotel's elevation is 3990m, just under 4000m. If you're planning a longer trek, I highly recommend staying here to acclimate to the altitude first. Once you've adjusted, the hike should be no problem at all."

"This hotel truly excels in all four aspects: location, amenities, views, and service. 1. **Location**: Situated at Yading Village Station 3, it's perfect for those planning a two-day trip. You won't have to endure the 40-minute one-way shuttle ride back and forth. The hotel is only a 12-minute drive from the shuttle bus terminal and is right at the entrance of Station 3. You don't need to walk an extra step. You can even wait for the shuttle while taking photos on a swing chair in the lobby or the small courtyard, as you can see the snow-capped mountains from anywhere in the hotel (see photo 1, taken this morning). 2. **Amenities**: They provide a Dyson hairdryer, 'Black Sister' toothpaste, a large jar of freshly cut kumquat and lemon fruit tea, and four separate fruit platters. Each room comes with a small wooden table, a vintage tea set, and two packets of tea. There's also a private balcony where you can step out. You can brew tea and take your wooden tray tea set out to take pictures. 3. **Oxygen Supply**: Oxygen is supplied 24 hours a day, unlike many hotels that only offer it from 7 PM to 7 AM. It's a diffused oxygen supply with 24% oxygen concentration. Hotels in Litang typically only reach 21%. If you have an oxygen bag, you can even refill it in your room as the interface is compatible. 4. **Service**: Around 8 PM, I felt cold and asked the front desk to check if the air conditioning was working correctly. Without a word, the front desk brought up a massive heater that could reach a maximum temperature of 35 degrees Celsius. You'll sleep soundly and won't get cold, and it's completely silent. 5. **Luggage Service**: If you're staying at the hotel with luggage and find it inconvenient to carry to the attractions the next day, you can store it at the front desk. You also won't have to worry about wasting time and queuing for another shuttle to pick up your luggage at the station on your return journey. A front desk staff member will wait for you at the station with your luggage after your return bus departs. You don't even need to get off; they'll load your luggage directly onto the shuttle bus. Nice! 6. **Convenience Store**: If you're short on food, there's a small supermarket about 50 meters from the hotel. A bowl of braised beef noodles costs only 7 yuan – grab it! This is inside a scenic area; at the visitor center, it would start at 20 yuan."

"🌟 A Must-Stay in Yading, Daocheng! Sangyelinka Boutique Homestay - A Perfect Experience Coming to Yading, Daocheng, choosing Sangyelinka was absolutely the right decision! This was the most delightful accommodation of our trip, and I have to recommend it to everyone! 🏔️ Amazing Location and Views The homestay is located in Reguang Village, Shangri-La Town, just a 10-minute drive from the scenic area entrance. It's a peaceful spot amidst the hustle and bustle. Opening the window, you're greeted by the majestic Niulang Mountain and fields of blooming highland barley. During the day, you can watch the snowy peaks and clouds, and at night, enjoy the Milky Way from the rooftop bar – the ambiance is incredible. 🎨 Superb Design and Facilities It boasts a light ******* luxury style, having won a CBDA design award, with incredibly high-quality details. The rooms are spacious and clean, equipped with floor heating, a humidifier, and Wi-Fi, making for a very comfortable stay at high altitude. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows mean you can enjoy views of the snow-capped mountains right from your bed – perfect for photos! 👩🍳 Five-Star Service and Experience The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming. They proactively helped with luggage, lent us hiking poles and windbreakers, and provided excellent tips for the scenic area. They offer free blood oxygen testing and have an oxygen concentrator, so there's no need to panic about altitude sickness. In the evenings, there are ******* dance lessons and complimentary ******* clothing experiences, offering an immersive taste of ******* culture. The highland barley cakes, matsutake chicken noodle soup, and butter tea were all incredibly delicious – we were full every day. Having breakfast in the scenic restaurant, accompanied by snow-capped mountains and blooming flowers, was an absolute joy. When you come to Yading, don't hesitate to book Sangyelinka! Beautiful design, stunning views, warm service, delicious breakfast, and excellent value for money. Next time I visit Yading, I'll definitely stay here again and will enthusiastically recommend it to all my friends!"

"The room is super cozy, the quality of the bed linen and towels is excellent and it’s located very close to the park entrance. The only observation is in relation to the view, which says it has a mountain view when we booked the Boutique 2-bed Room, but they gave us a room on the ground floor, after insisting, they gave us a room on the third floor, still the view was not that good."

"From check-in to check-out, everything was thoughtful. The concierge and front desk staff were polite and enthusiastic, even thoughtfully preparing brown sugar ginger tea and welcome fruits. Facilities: The hotel has a 24-hour medical oxygen bar, and just 10 minutes there quickly relieves altitude sickness. The rooms have a diffuse medical oxygen supply, which lowers the perceived altitude to about 2700 meters, allowing for a good night's sleep. Service: As soon as we arrived at the hotel entrance, a butler helped with our luggage and escorted us to our room after check-in. The next morning, when we were checking out, the front desk proactively asked if we needed help with our luggage, which was a very thoughtful touch. Hygiene: The bathroom had separate wet and dry areas, was clean, tidy, and well-ventilated. The lobby was also kept spotless at all times. The airport shuttle stop is right outside the hotel, and booking certain room types includes a free airport drop-off, making it the best choice for return journeys."

"The best choice for a trip to Daocheng Yading is undoubtedly the Crowne Plaza Yading Risong Gongbu Hotel. Located in the heart of Shangri-La town, its 2800-meter altitude is just right, avoiding altitude sickness while providing convenient access to the Yading scenic area entrance – a mere 15-minute drive to the sacred mountains. Upon arrival, a concierge proactively offered to help with luggage, a warm gesture spreading from the moment you stepped out of the car. Entering the double-height lobby, the ******* elements blend seamlessly with modern design. The hanging scroll depicting the three sacred mountains of Yading instantly evoked anticipation for the journey. The seated service during check-in was exceptionally attentive; staff member David offered ginger tea to dispel the chill of the journey and provided a detailed explanation of the scenic route and a guide map. The hotel's dining experience was a highlight of the trip. While the breakfast wasn't as lavish as in inland China, it was certainly excellent for the ******* region."

"The front desk staff were incredibly warm and patient, and their uniforms were really stylish! The breakfast was diverse with a great variety of options, very impressive! On our second day, as we were heading to the Daocheng Yading scenic area, the front desk even thoughtfully provided us with water and self-heating rice meals!"

"The hotel is located in Shangri-La Town, convenient for visiting scenic spots. The rooms are spacious, and the facilities are standard for a 7 Days Inn hotel—simple, clean, and hygienic. However, the towels were a bit old. My room didn't have a humidifier, and I got a nosebleed after sleeping in it all night due to dryness. The hotel didn't have any extra humidifiers, but they provided several bottles of mineral water for me to drink. The parking lot is large and convenient, and there are restaurants everywhere in town, making it easy to find places to eat."

"The room was spotless and well-equipped with everything we needed, offering great value for money. The guesthouse's location is excellent, right across from the bridge in Shangri-La town, providing a beautiful view. Waking up and taking a stroll on the bridge to see the clear stream was truly idyllic. It's also not far from the Daocheng Yading scenic area, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. Plus, they have an underground parking lot with slow charging stations, which was incredibly convenient."

"I was initially a little apprehensive about guesthouses, but this suite completely changed my mind! The room was clean and tidy, elegantly decorated, and had a homey atmosphere. The host's service was impeccable; they not only prepared a delicious breakfast but also helped arrange local sightseeing. The time spent here was truly wonderful, and I'll definitely come back again!"
