ゲゲストIf you’re looking for an amazing view of the snow mountain right at your balcony, this is it. The view is as real as it gets from the hotel photos. Excellent service from the hotel crew who even gave us a welcome snack basket, hot desert soup and parting gifts. Hotel room comes with oxygen and cannula for those who have trouble sleeping in high altitude. There’s also (small) fireworks every evening at around 6-6.30pm at the hotel balcony and other activities organised by them that you can join. If you’re lucky, you get to pet their fluffy dogs.
SskygallopIf you plan to catch the golden sunrise of the Meili Snow Mountains, this is a top tier hotel that I would highly recommend
- Staff is proactive, professional and the overall stay exceeded expectations in terms of comfort, quality and service
- Beautiful hotel design and bonus, its lobby, restaurant, bar, rooftop all has fantastic views of the Meili Snow Mountains
- If you're getting a room with the snow mountain view, the view will probably be more superior than the view from the Wunongding observatory deck itself due to angle and height, and it's also exclusive as you won't be restricted by the crowd and temperature out there. Alternatively, you can always visit the rooftop to catch the golden sunrise
LLinda PuiJust to make it clear that the location of this hotel is not at the Meili Viewing Platform. You need to walk around 10 minutes to reach the platform to watch Meili at sunrise. The mountain that is in the background of the hotel is Baima mountain.
Having said that, we loved our stay at this hotel. The cabin was nicely decorated and equipped with all amenities. We loved the bathroom! The heater was working well in the cold weather.
The uncle was lovely. It was a bit hard for us to conmunicate what we wanted as we don't speak Chinese but through Wechat translation he was able to arrange a car (shared trip) to Mingyong Glacier and a private transfer back to Shangri La for us. The auntie at the breakfast was also lovely and welcoming, trying to chat with us all the time.
One thing to note is that aroud the area there are a lot of construction sites (there is one opposite the hotel), so it can be dusty and noisy at times. Please check with the hotel about the construction if it is still ongoing during the time you want to visit.
All in all, I highly recommend this place if you want a lovely cabin experience (with sky window!) away from the busy area. However, you won't see Meili from the hotel's windows.
