Once Upon a Time in Meili Reviews

This hotel offers a great location to view the Meili Snow Mountains during the morning golden peak and also sunset (if you're lucky with the weather conditions). It is right next to the bus stop, which means it is very convenient if you are planning to catch an early morning bus (in our case). Rooms can be a bit pricey, but we know that we are essentially paying for the view. The food at the hotel is also tasty, I didn't need to go and look anywhere else for dinner and breakfast. I appreciated the great help that was provided by a staff named Xiao Wei. We arrived at the hotel when it was raining and wasn't expecting to see any mountain range in sight, but then the sky suddenly cleared up during the evening just shortly before sunset whilst we were having dinner and Xiao Wei came over to tell us to go and have a look at the snow mountain, which made our hearts rushed with joy. We also appreciated when Xiao Wei told us again during night time that the mountain range was visible so we quickly opened the curtain to treat ourselves with another fantastic view. The viewing platform on the top floor is a great location to see the sunrise and golden peak. I personally think it's even better viewing at the Feilai Temple platform that most tourists go to. On a final note, Xiao Wei again was very kind to help us by going to the bus platform at 8.30 AM in the morning to help us purchase the bus tickets from the driver (we couldn't do so as wechat pay didn't work for us). We were very happy with our stay here and got very lucky with some of the best views during our entire Yunnan trip. Thank you very much to Xiao Wei and the staff at Once Upon A Time in Meili :)

This hotel offers the best view of Kawa Karpo in the Felaisi area. You can even admire the mountains right from your bed. The modern, clean rooms are well-equipped with everything you might need, including a telescope for stunning scenery up close. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and I especially want to express my sincere gratitude to a female receptionist whose name, unfortunately, I didn’t catch. As non-Chinese speakers, we needed assistance to catch a bus to Ninong. She not only escorted us to the bus stop but also spoke to the driver to ensure we got seats. As the bus passed by, she stood at the hotel door, waving goodbye—a gesture that truly touched us.
