Deqin Hotels with balcony

Service: The butler contacted us a day before to confirm our arrival time. Since we were arriving late in the evening, they thoughtfully arranged for afternoon tea to be delivered to our room. We had two rooms booked for two nights, and they upgraded us to the Muyun King Room. Due to a sudden change in plans and a family emergency, we had to cancel one night, and the hotel staff handled the cancellation very smoothly. Cleanliness: Very clean. Face towels and toilet seat covers were provided. Environment: The hotel faces the Meili Snow Mountain directly. We enjoyed two days of the 'golden sun illuminating the mountain' and also saw a beautiful starry sky. Both our room and the terrace offered views of the snow-capped mountains. Facilities: The humidifier, in-room heating, oxygen supply, and electric heater all worked great.

This was an absolutely unforgettable stay! The guesthouse is a reconstruction of the owner's original home, and I was immediately struck by its beauty upon entering: the Western-style staircase paired with ******* paintings was exquisite and beautiful! The rooms were even more beautiful and comfortable than the pictures showed, mainly due to the attention to detail, including the tea corner, the automatic sensor lights in the bathroom, and the copper sink. This guesthouse offers excellent value for money, comparable to well-known hotels costing nearly a thousand yuan. It's truly a hidden gem. The guesthouse's large terrace is just a short distance above a bend in the Jinsha River, offering stunning views! I'll definitely stay here again on my next trip to Yunnan and Tibet!

I really should take the time to write a proper review when I can. Having stayed at well over a hundred (if not 200) top luxury hotels worldwide over the past 20-30 years, I'm absolutely qualified to comment on the standards and details of any hotel as a seasoned luxury hotel experience expert. The Meli Patu Hotel is meticulously refined from head to toe! It's one of the very few luxury hotels that is even more stunning in real life than in its official website photos. Having seen everything from Paris, London to Dubai and the Maldives... aside from irreplaceable cultural landscapes, many overseas hotels costing 20,000-50,000 RMB a night are truly disappointing – I haven't experienced the 100,000+ RMB ones, so I won't comment on those. For a few thousand RMB, Patu offers rooms equipped with B&O sound systems, coupled with the breathtaking views outside the window. No wonder Chinese travelers are becoming less keen on overseas trips! In such a challenging and resource-scarce high-altitude environment, they manage to make even breathing feel luxurious – it's truly amazing! How do they achieve this? I've pondered it for a very long time...

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!

Booking this hidden gem of a guesthouse was the best decision of my entire trip! The overall experience far exceeded my expectations and completely changed my perception of guesthouse stays. I absolutely have to write a detailed, heartfelt review to recommend it to everyone. I was initially drawn in by the beautiful online photos, but arriving in person, I found the real place to be even more stunning. The overall decor is elegant and cozy, with a fantastic sense of design. The common areas are adorned with plants, tea seating, and cozy nooks, creating an incredible ambiance. Every corner is picture-perfect, and the fatigue from traveling simply vanished the moment I walked in. What truly impressed me was the meticulous cleanliness. The entire place was spotless, the floors gleaming. The bedding was brand-new, made of pure cotton – soft, fluffy, and with a faint, pleasant scent, making it incredibly relaxing to lie down on. The bathroom featured a dry/wet separation, completely odorless. Toiletries, disposable slippers, and towels were all provided. Even the nooks, crannies, and edges of the vanity were wiped clean. It's clear the owner has extremely high standards for cleanliness, which made my stay feel incredibly safe and reassuring. The room amenities were comprehensive. Air conditioning and hot water were available and plentiful 24/7. The mattress and pillows were just the right firmness. The blackout curtains provided excellent light sealing, ensuring a quiet environment at night with no disruptive noise. Even as a light sleeper, I slept soundly until morning. Small details like audio-visual equipment, charging points, and storage were all thoughtfully provided – everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. The service from the owner and staff was impeccable. Before check-in, they proactively sent precise location details, parking tips, and tour routes. They even thoughtfully recommended local, lesser-known eateries and photo spots. Upon arrival, they enthusiastically helped with luggage, and the check-in process was quick and efficient. They were always available to answer questions, responded to messages promptly and patiently, and promptly addressed any minor issues that arose, never giving a perfunctory impression. It felt like interacting with friendly neighbors. The guesthouse boasts an excellent location, making it convenient for getting around. Dining and transportation options nearby are abundant. It's a quiet oasis amidst the bustling area, balancing convenience with tranquility. Compared to chain hotels, this place offers a warmth and human touch, without the cold commercial feel, and the value for money is outstanding. I've already saved it and added it to my 'revisit' list. I will definitely choose it again for future trips to this area. I sincerely recommend it to all travelers – you can book with your eyes closed, you won't regret it. A perfect score is truly deserved.

This hidden gem of a guesthouse, facing the majestic Meili Snow Mountain, is a true treasure. You can drive right up to the entrance, and there's even a charging station for electric cars. It's a scenic 3-hour drive from Shangri-La, along winding mountain roads. If you arrive before 7 AM, you'll be treated to the breathtaking 'Golden Mountain' sunrise. After sunset, the 'blue hour' creates a gentle and therapeutic atmosphere, making you feel as if you've been transported to a charming European town. The hostess was incredibly warm and attentive, even helping us carry our heavy camera equipment. The room also came equipped with oxygen, which completely eliminated any worries about altitude sickness. Our entire stay was comfortable and unforgettable.

They say you might not see the ”Golden Mountain in the Sun” in October, so I booked this place to avoid wasting money on a view that might not deliver. Turns out, we actually saw it! Super worth it!! The location is right next to where the bus drops you off, so it's a very easy walk, and close to the Feilai Temple viewing platform. The room was unbelievably spacious, and the underfloor heating worked perfectly. There are only four or five rooms, and the view is absolutely stunning. The owner is very simple and enthusiastic. I highly recommend this for anyone hoping to catch the Golden Mountain but worried about a wasted 4-hour drive if they miss it. The accommodation quality is easily more than triple that of other scenic hotels at the same price point, and the courtyard itself can help ease any disappointment if you don't see the sunrise. Let's talk about the downsides: 1. Feilai Temple is currently under construction, so there are large vehicles at night. I personally wasn't bothered by the noise, but I can't guarantee others wouldn't be. This seems to be a common issue for hotels along this road. 2. The room was very clean and tidy, but I wasn't a fan of the air freshener scent. My partner didn't notice it, though. 3. There were some really large flies. I hope the owner can improve pest control. Although they'll probably freeze to death in a few days, seeing them definitely puts a damper on the mood.

We stayed here for three nights whilst exploring upper Yubeng and doing some of the hikes. The location is great with some good panoramic views of the mountains. Sunset and sunrise are both amazing from here! The service was good, friendly staff and kind people. The room is fine! We had a heater which helped a lot for the cold nights. We didn't like the disposable towels, such a waste! Also the room wasn't cleaned once in our three nights and we had to keep asking for toilet paper/towels ourselves. Apart from that everything was fine. Good vegetarian food too:)

Getting to the hotel requires turning off National Highway 214 onto a village road, which was completely dark at night. At that moment, I regretted booking this place. However, after driving down that small road for about 5 minutes, we finally arrived, and I immediately felt that my choice was actually a good one. Once we entered the room, my worries completely disappeared! The room felt like a 4-star standard and, thankfully, was smoke-free. Even better, each room had a copy of the 'Brief Introduction to Diqing Prefecture,' a very professional, detailed, and comprehensive book that helps you quickly and systematically understand the area. The hotel restaurant's food was good (though a bit salty for us southerners). The prices weren't cheap, around 50 RMB per person, but given the generous portions, I wouldn't say it was expensive. The main benefit was not having to go out to eat, which saved time and effort. The hotel's environment and ambiance were perfect; it truly felt like a manor. I heard it used to be a vineyard that later upgraded to tourism services. Because it's far from the town and main road, it's incredibly quiet, and you can even see the peak of Meili Snow Mountain directly from here.

The staff here are incredibly down-to-earth and thoughtful. They're super knowledgeable about the Yubeng trekking routes and thoroughly explained the trail conditions, rest stops, and even gave helpful tips for avoiding common pitfalls on the Ice Lake and Sacred Waterfall treks. Any request I had was met with a quick response. The common lounge area was great for sitting around the fire, and the atmosphere for chatting with fellow hikers from all over was really fantastic – it felt so natural and friendly.
