Family-friendly Hotels in Litang

Holiday Inn Express should have uniform service and standard, but this one in Litang is not good. Maybe it is because of the low business in the off-season. It doesn't look like a chain high-end hotel at all! First of all, the front desk staff doesn't feel very professional. It looks more like a hotel opened by their own family. Is this a franchise store? But the service is fine, just very unprofessional. Second, I booked a room with two breakfasts, but was told that there was no breakfast. I would be refunded for breakfast when I check out tomorrow morning. OK, no problem, but they refunded me 20 yuan in cash the next day. Is that okay? Of course I'm OK, no problem. It doesn't matter if I don't refund it. But since I refunded it, you have to have an assessment standard. It's really speechless! Third, the room facilities are still very complete and good, but the oxygen supply equipment is just a decoration. There is no gas when it is turned on, which means that the switchboard is not turned on at all, which makes it uncomfortable to sleep all night! I decisively changed to another one the next day.

Although there is no air conditioning, the floor heating is really hot. There is no view of the sky outside the room window, so I can watch the stars directly in the room at night. Upgraded to an oxygen room. The room is clean and spacious, and the bathroom facilities are also good. Because of the high reflex, I didn't take a shower and I don't know the water temperature. The breakfast is simple, but relatively suitable for high altitude sickness. There is also a Tibetan breakfast, which is generally recommended.

This hostel is under different management than what many reviewers have previously written about. The big drooly dog is gone, staff were helpful, and the room clean and comfortable. We were stuck in Yajiang without transport to Litang, and the hostel owner sent a car from Litang to pick us up on short notice. In many other small things they were helpful. Location is off the main tourist strip, which we liked. There is construction opposite so keep that in mind if you like to sleep in - with two small children who were quite happy watching “construction TV” we didn’t mind. Clothes washing facilities were great and we were able to hang everything out in the sun afterward. Very useful given we are cycle touring and don’t have many clothes! Ronin gave us each a small hand-made gift on departure, which our kids loved. He and his staff made us feel welcomed and cared for. They are slowly fixing up some things clearly left in a poor state (like the bar building) but with COVID still affecting tourism in China I guess they need to prioritise. We had a great stay and highly recommend this hostel - thanks Ronin and team!

We stayed here while cycling from Litang to Daocheng. We are used to camping rough, so this was a little bit of an amusement for us to stay in a big fancy tent instead of our little lightweight one that we carry. The tent was in excellent condition and kept us warm and dry during the overnight wind and rain. Electric blankets on the bed worked well and everything was nice and clean. The showers were very hot and high pressure, which we were very happy about after our day of cycling. The shower stalls do not have doors. We had yummy hot pot for dinner. The boss, Li Li, was exceptionally helpful and enthusiastic throughout our stay - we felt very cared for. She even helped us get fresh yak milk for our breakfast! Be aware this is a campground of tents, and tents do not muffle sound as well as inexperienced campers think they do. We had noisey neighbours who made a racket until about 11:30pm. Short of yelling at guests to be quiet, there’s not much the management could do about this - it’s just one of those things. My only complaint is the bed - I have slept on bare ground softer than what was called a mattress. I ended up getting my own small inflatable camp mattress out of my bike bag and slept on that, on the bed. I’ve travelled extensively in China and sleep fine on firm mattresses… this one felt like wood. Overall, a great experience to break up the hotel routine, and if you have nice weather then the stars above are amazing, very minimal light pollution here, and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

The hotel has free breakfast and parking, and the location is convenient and close to the scenic spot. The front desk is beautiful and enthusiastic, and takes the initiative to introduce the scenic spots. The hotel facilities are also very complete, and the lobby provides some ******* costumes for us to wear. Hahahahaha, it's great~
