Hot Springs Hotels in Sichuan, China

The hotel is a bit dated, both in design and facilities, and definitely needs an update. However, it's still well-maintained, and everything works as it should. The room was a bit small. Service was standard—nothing exceptional, but no major issues either. The complimentary afternoon tea felt a bit pointless, honestly, apart from the view outside the window. As for the hot spring, it's hard to say it's *good*, but it is there. The hotel's location in Dujiangyan is unbeatable, truly fantastic. It's in the absolute heart of everything, with no other tall buildings blocking the view. You get an unobstructed panorama of Dujiangyan, with the 'Blue Tears' right in front of you and the Yangtianwo Giant Panda Base literally at your feet. The Lidui train station is right outside. This location and the views from the window are absolutely incredible. Rooms facing north towards Dujiangyan probably offer one of the best spots to see the 'Blue Tears.' If the weather's good, you might even catch a glimpse of the distant snow-capped mountains. Honestly, the view alone makes the trip worthwhile. But seriously, this place desperately needs a renovation, or it's just not doing justice to such an amazing view.

Pros: The hotel boasts an excellent location, directly facing Mount Emei, and in the evening, we could seemingly hear the temple bells from Baoguo Temple. We chose to stay at Le Méridien after our hike, looking forward to some relaxation. The hotel is indeed quite large with beautiful surroundings. The breakfast was plentiful, featuring freshly prepared dishes, a welcome change from pre-made options. We stayed in a deluxe lake view room, offering both mountain and lake views, which was truly lovely. The soundproofing in the room was decent, and the bedding was comfortable. Cons: 1. Initially, our two booked rooms were not in the same building. After inquiring at the front desk, they found a twin room in Building 2, allowing us to be in the same building. It makes you wonder why they were assigned that way in the first place. 2. The room's central air conditioning only provided heating. When we checked in, the room was exceptionally hot; even with the AC off, the temperature was around 27 degrees Celsius (likely due to the room facing west and getting direct sun). However, the housekeeping service was excellent – they promptly brought a portable air cooler, and their service was always timely, thorough, and enthusiastic. This was a stark contrast to the less attentive bellhop service in the lobby. 3. For such a large hotel, having only two elevators per building (Building 1 and 2) seems inadequate for a Le Méridien property. It also raises safety concerns, as there are no staff members at the elevator entrance. If you need to access rooms on other floors, you have to take the stairs (I used the emergency stairwell twice to retrieve something from a room on the 6th floor, a tip given to me by a housekeeper). 4. The large bathtub in the bathroom is genuinely enormous. I suspect anyone under 175cm might need to be careful not to drown! 5. The exterior windows of the scenic room looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time. I'll stop here for now. I'm writing so much because I actually quite like Le Méridien, and I hope to see improvements next time I visit.

The room is very spacious and comes with a smart toilet. The large window offers an expansive view. Breakfast has a wide variety of delicious and nutritious options. The service, in particular, stands out; the hotel staff are incredibly dedicated and responsive to every request, showing great empathy. They also provided insightful and helpful recommendations for dining and transportation, truly demonstrating their expertise! Thumbs up to all of you. I will definitely return in the future and hope you continue to maintain such high standards of service and hospitality. Well Done!

Facilities: Well-equipped and in good condition. Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Service: Extremely warm and welcoming. Environment: Elegant, comfortable, and grand. Unlimited access to the outdoor bamboo forest hot springs for two: The hot springs were comfortable. Gaogaoqiao Scenic Area admission ticket and sightseeing bus ticket: Good. Emeishan Grand Buddha Temple admission ticket: Good. The hotel is close to Emeishan High-Speed Railway Station. The service was incredibly warm and attentive, making us feel right at home. After hiking, soaking in the warm hot springs at the hotel was incredibly relaxing and pleasant.

Staying at the Bi Peng Gou Likuan Hotel was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The hotel's decor is stylish and minimalist, and the public areas are clean, comfortable, and have a great ambiance. Our mountain-view room offered expansive views; we could literally open the window and see lush green mountains. The air was incredibly fresh, which was so relaxing for both mind and body. The room facilities were brand new and fully equipped, with convenient smart controls and excellent soundproofing, ensuring a high quality of rest. The staff were all very kind and responsive, always ready to assist with any request, showing great attention to detail. The food was clean, hygienic, and perfectly palatable, catering to various tastes. The hotel's amenities are comprehensive, and it offers outstanding value for money. It's truly rare to find such a comfortable accommodation in a high-altitude region. This hotel is perfect for family trips, friends traveling together, or even solo road trips. I genuinely recommend it to everyone.

We had a fantastic tranquil stay for 2 nights at this accommodation. The hosts are wonderful and show great hospitality to all their guests. They have offered rides in the area (for us a visit to the panda base was a must), organized a transfer, offered tea and coffee throughout the day and were available all the time. Our highlight was picking tea leaves with the family’s grandmother and preparing the tea with the family’s grandfather. The room and public places are cosy and well equipped. Our son loved the tree house in the backyard. The food was tasty and their menu offered us to try some local delicacies. Recommendation to everyone who wants to stay in the area around Ya’an.

Pros Family orientated Very friendly Willing to make our stay very comfortable Would drop us into town and pick up when needed Rooms are bright and well equipped The hot spring bath was great It is located in a scenic area and has good walks Willing to serve breakfast privately if you don't want to sit in the canteen Surrounded by lots of fruit trees Must try bbq rabbit nearby Cons If you are taking the bus from Maoxian station - you need to tell the driver in advance that they can drive up the slope to the hotel. Note: we were not aware that the van couldn't drive us up and we had to lug our bags 300m up.

We had a generally pleasant experience staying at this property. The hotel van picked us up from the railway station too. Staff are courteous and friendly. We were provided with free bottles of water upon requests too. The only but a huge problem we encountered was a QR placard placed on the table which says SCAN FOR FREE WIFI. Upon scanning, my phone was directed to WeChat app. I just ignored it, but 2 days later when we were already in Dujiangyan, my WeChat account was suddenly blocked due to serious violation of WeChat rules. I tried everything to unblock it but none helped. I even asked assistance from Chengdu police located inside the Tianfu Square metro station but that didn’t help too. I believe some hotel staff placed that QR code in purpose.

The family room is spacious and perfect for two adults and two children. The hotel room is new, but a bit stuffy; I had to turn on the humidifier. After checking in, the hotel created a group chat to introduce facilities and activities. Complimentary fruits and snacks were delivered daily. We had hot pot for dinner every night at the restaurant as there were no à la carte stir-fry options, but the hot pot quality was good. On our last day, we also enjoyed the complimentary photo shoot provided by the hotel.

Choosing the Hongzhushan Zen Retreat (also known as Building 7 of Hongzhushan Hotel) for my trip to Mount Emei was the best decision I made, and my parents also had a great stay. We opted for a mountain-view room; the balcony offered a delightful experience with birdsong, though the mountain felt a bit imposing at night. Next time, I might try a pine forest room instead 🤣. The room was spotlessly clean with no hidden corners, and the water pressure was just right. Complimentary mineral water was thoughtfully placed in the hallway for guests to take, which was super convenient. The room also had a capsule coffee machine; enjoying a private hot spring soak daily with a cup of coffee was incredibly comfortable—two days simply weren't enough! Moreover, the butler, a lovely lady, was warm and patient, clearly explaining local dining options and hotel information, and even provided helpful hiking advice that eased my concerns. Our whole family successfully reached the summit and witnessed a breathtaking sea of clouds, making the trip absolutely worthwhile. The breakfast selection was extensive, featuring local Emei Mountain specialties like rice cakes and tofu pudding, which were delicious. Before check-in, a staff member proactively contacted me to inquire if I needed pick-up service. Although I didn't use it, it's a definite plus! Finally, upon departure, I booked a complimentary drop-off service at the front desk. The mini-bus ride to Emei Mountain Station only took 10 minutes. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit to Mount Emei 😌
