Find 5-Star Hotels in Deqin

"Jianglu's service is exceptional. I had previously read reviews mentioning that while the facilities were good, the service fell short, and I almost missed out on this hidden gem of a hotel. During my visit to Meili Snow Mountain, I stayed at Songtsam, Ji Xia Shan, Jianglu, and Shi Qi. I feel I can confidently comment on the overall service of each. First, regarding butler service: I made a last-minute booking for Jianglu around 5 PM, and immediately after, Jianglu contacted me to add my butler on WeChat. Songtsam added me two days in advance. For Shi Qi, I had to actively call them in the late afternoon, almost 5 PM, the day before check-in to get added. Ji Xia Shan didn't contact me until almost 8 PM the night before check-in, and again, I had to call them to add the butler (Ji Xia Shan explained that they had called me around 3 PM that afternoon but no one answered, and then they asked Trip.com to send me an SMS, but no one followed up to check on the next day's guests – I was quite disappointed by this, as I would have been forgotten if I hadn't called proactively). Aside from these issues, the butler service at all hotels was generally good. Regarding location and snow mountain views: Jianglu is right next to the observation deck, directly facing the Thirteen Peaks – an excellent location. You can enjoy panoramic views of the snow mountain from the balcony, though it's a bit tricky to see while lying down. Ji Xia Shan is more secluded; only the suites seem to offer direct snow mountain views from the room, while other rooms don't. During summer, definitely avoid the Yunling room type. They claim you can see Baima and Meili Snow Mountain, but it's completely obstructed by vegetation. You'd be better off booking a cheaper room type. The floor-to-ceiling windows in Ji Xia Shan's fourth-floor cafe observation deck offer stunning snow mountain views. Shi Qi is across the road from Feilai Temple observation deck, surrounded by bookstores, cultural creative shops, convenience stores, and many other guesthouses. I chose the 'Lianshan' room, which in pictures showed the bed directly facing the snow mountain, but it's not actually direct. The cafe also has floor-to-ceiling windows, offering beautiful snow mountain views. Songtsam's snow mountain rooms truly allow you to see the snow mountain from bed. Songtsam is located on a separate mountain, and it's the only hotel there. So, if your budget is around 3,000 RMB, unless you're staying at Songtsam where you can see the snow mountain from bed, for other hotels, I recommend booking the cheapest room type and just going to the observation deck for the views. Regarding noise: If you prefer peace and quiet, definitely avoid Shi Qi. The Feilai Temple scenic area is very lively, and new hotels are being built nearby, plus the hotel itself is renovating its restaurant. The hotel is also right by the road, with large trucks frequently passing by and honking – the noise is truly terrible. However, if you enjoy a lively atmosphere, the Feilai Temple area is like a small town with many shops, and construction hours are from 9 AM to 6 PM. Jianglu, Ji Xia Shan, and Songtsam, on the other hand, are all very quiet and perfect for a relaxing and healthy getaway. Regarding dining: The food at all these places is decent. Shi Qi's meal prices are significantly cheaper than the others, though their stir-fries are a bit on the oily side. Only Songtsam's breakfast starts at 7 AM, which is great for early risers or those needing to leave early. Songtsam's beef 'er-si' (rice noodles) is delicious; when I asked the chef for a few more pieces of beef, he gave me a whole bowlful. The other hotels' breakfasts all start at 8 AM. Jianglu is unique in that breakfast runs until 1 PM and is unlimited. Regarding afternoon tea: The cakes at Shi Qi's afternoon tea are very good, and they have many drink options. Jianglu's afternoon tea is simpler, with only green tea available. However, their paid coffee bar offers a wide selection of drinks, including hot cocktails, which was a pleasant surprise for me as I can't have cold drinks. Songtsam's afternoon tea is buffet-style. Ji Xia Shan offers complimentary coffee and tea all day, and their afternoon tea features delicious dried beef. Regarding facilities: Jianglu is quite distinctive and very thoughtful. Besides the usual fruits and snacks, Jianglu's rooms also provide facial masks and facial cleansing towels, and even condoms. At the front desk, you can find self-service makeup remover wipes, hair ties, hair clips, motion sickness patches, and more. Regarding ginger tea: For me, ginger tea is excellent for relieving altitude sickness and stomach discomfort. Songtsam's ginger tea is the best, with perfect taste and temperature. Jianglu's is a bit too sweet and lukewarm, Ji Xia Shan's is too spicy, and Shi Qi doesn't offer ginger tea. In summary, I am very satisfied with Jianglu. Coincidentally, I only saw the 'Golden Mountain at Sunrise' during my stay at Jianglu, which felt very fortunate. Jianglu is also great for photos, with a very textured feel, and I was very happy with the travel photoshoot I had there."

"The hotel's location is excellent, we were able to watch the golden sunrise over the Meili Snow Mountain direct from the room's balcony. It was also a short walk to the public viewing platform and the restaurants/cafe areas. We have booked the hotel to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary & I requested for special room decor to surprise my husband. Due to some internal miscommunications, the housekeeping side did not deliver. However, the duty manager in charge 常志伟 was quick to make amends offering us complimentary bottle of wine & dinner at the restaurant. He was responsive and constantly checked in with us to ensure that our stay was pleasant and needs met. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and happy to recommend the hotel to friends and family."

"Originally, I wanted to book the Songtsam Linka Shangri-La, but there weren't enough rooms for our group, so this time I booked Jiuxia Mountain at the last minute, considering it's a well-established brand! I didn't expect any major issues, but the actual stay far exceeded my expectations! As a long-time Ctrip user (and a bit of a critic), I rarely write reviews, but this time I want to particularly thank all the service staff at Jiuxia Mountain Meili. One of the children in our group suffered from altitude sickness, and from the young lady at the front desk to the bellhop who proactively took us to the hospital, their sincerity went beyond ordinary service. It felt so natural, not forced or perfunctory. From now on, Jiuxia Mountain has been added to my personal must-visit travel list! I believe this is a perfect embodiment of the company's values! I wish the Jiuxia Mountain team all the best and many more successful projects!"

"The location is absolutely stunning, facing the thirteen peaks of Meili directly. The design and service perfectly match the unique setting, with breathtaking viewing spots on floors 2-6. The interior design also shows excellent taste. The facilities are comprehensive, with dispersed oxygen supply throughout the entire building, plus a medical oxygen machine on the first floor – an absolute lifeline in a high-altitude region. The service is attentive and just right, never overbearing. Free laundry and drying services are available, making for a superb stay. We watched the starry sky at night and waited for the 'golden peaks' sunrise in the morning. Although only the 'golden tips' appeared that day, it was lucky enough given the rainy season. Breakfast was also top-notch. I look forward to experiencing an even grander 'golden peaks' sunrise on my next visit!"

"Overall, it was a great stay. The hotel thoughtfully provided tips for altitude sickness in the room and prepared items and facilities to combat it, such as Coke, oxygen packs, and an oxygen supply system. The decor leans towards a Wabi-sabi style, and the buckwheat pillows were very comfortable to sleep on. You can watch the 'golden sun illuminating the mountain' from the 4th floor. Service: After booking this time, the hotel offered a ******* costume photoshoot experience. ******* clothes and headwear were available in the hotel lobby. After the shoot, we received 3 free original photos. This was a collaboration with NICO Travel Photography. The photographer was very professional 📷, snapped great shots 👍, was excellent at composition and finding the right light, and even guided our poses. We got the photos quickly, and then back at the hotel, a dedicated staff member helped us choose the best ones. The entire process was very pleasant, and we got some amazing 'life photos' – fantastic!"

"Our night in Benzilan was made absolutely perfect thanks to the Xilin Yuan Nada Mountain Inn. We arrived in the evening, driving up the mountain road, and the further we went, the more tranquil it became. The inn's courtyard is beautifully maintained, and the room windows offer stunning views of the continuous mountain range, making you feel as though the entire world has quieted down. The owner is incredibly kind. Not only did he recommend some local delicacies, but he also offered to wash our clothes for us. This kind of thoughtful service truly makes you feel so welcome and warm. This is an inn that makes you want to return. Next time I'm in Benzilan, I'll definitely stay here again!"

"I initially chose this hotel for its stunning mountain views, but after my stay, I realized the thoughtful service was even more impressive than the scenery. After booking, a service chat group was created to patiently answer all my travel questions. Knowing I had meniscus injuries in both knees and concerns about hiking, the staff proactively planned an itinerary for me, making every effort to avoid difficult routes. Upon arriving at the village, a staff member immediately came to help carry my luggage, relieving me of my travel burdens. Hiking can easily make your clothes sweaty, and the hotel provided a meticulous laundry and drying service. Dirty clothes were collected in the evening and returned neatly folded to my room door the next morning. The warm goodnight milk and daily afternoon tea showed genuine care in every detail. When I went on the Shenpu (Divine Waterfall) route, Ms. Muzi from the Yi ethnic group accompanied me for nearly eight hours of hiking, looking after me the entire way. The manager, Ms. Manager, always responded promptly to my concerns, no matter how late, and shared delightful scenic surprises that could be reached on the day of my arrival in the service group. Another unexpected pleasure was the authentic and delicious food; it was a surprising culinary experience in a mountain village setting. At night, I sat on the lawn in front of the hotel and captured the brilliant starry sky with my old Huawei P30 Pro (parameters detailed in the image below). Every staff member was warm and enthusiastic, and their attentiveness was evident in every detail. Meeting in this beautiful natural setting, I feel grateful and look forward to returning someday."

"I didn't expect that the Zangbanshan I ordered casually would give me such a pleasant surprise. The view is particularly wide, combining the Jinshan Mountain in the upper Yubeng and the grassland in the lower Yubeng. The service of the store manager Brother Ping is very enthusiastic. If there are 10 🌟, I will give it 10 stars without hesitation!"

"The room price is relatively high, and the scale is much smaller than Songtsam Linka. The most amazing thing is the view of Meili Snow Mountain. Although it is expensive, it is worth the trip. Unfortunately, there are not many waiters. Dinner was not cleaned up in time, which is not in line with the price of 350 per person."

"A village that cannot be missed on Shangri-La Xiaohuan. Before, because of that church, you could stay for one night. Now you can stay for one night in Songzan. The small and beautiful winery hotel is equipped with a first-line river view. It is really freehand. The Songzan series has always been doing quite well. The Chinese-style one-day Western-style arrangement is really novel enough, the staff is also quite Nice, quite a hand for children"
