This hotel is located stone throw from both the bus terminals, so location 5 stars.
Amenities - rooms, restaurant, foot massage center(cannot locate) and Chinese chess rooms. Not sure, how this hotel is awarded 5 stars?
Rooms setup - guess it is time to renovate. Heard the renovation project is approved! Cheers!
Services - rooms for improvement! As I had a early flight to catch at 9.50am and the earliest bus from the mountain to the tourist center was 6.30am (again different front desk staffs told me different timings) so I tried to request for a paid car service to send me down. They said the hotel doesn't provide such service, asked me to reach out in the streets to see if the resturants or shop owners can provide such services! 1st time encounter in a 5 stars hotel, really a good learning for me in 2024:)
The hotel is beautifully designed. As architects, we loved the interior.
The staff was very welcoming and we were greeted with homemade snacks. When we wanted to go town to buy some groceries, they offered to drive us there - very pleasant. Not much to reach in walking distance.
There was a lantern festival in the nearby town and the hotel owners took us there - we were the only tourists. Very funny experience.
We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel which was freshly cooked. Especially dinner was very nice.
Our room had an amazing view to the mountains and a very spacious size. The bathroom was amazing.
What surprised us is that we couldn’t go up the hills surrounding the hotel because of wild animals. We saw some monkeys which seems scary. It’s necessary to use the hotel’s transfer to the mountain gate.
We would come back in the summer time when it’s sunny 😊
