Romantic Hotels in Danba

"We are European tourists and already travelling for more than 50 days in the south part of China. Well, of all the good hotels or homestays we have been, this was the first time that we had a front desk person (Sherry) that spoke good English!!! Arrived at the busstation of Danba, we felt a bit lost and so we decided to phone the homestay knowing already that it would be useless as nobody would speak English... and big surprise!!! The woman answered in good English!!! WOW. She immediately organized a taxi to pick us up. When we arrived the staff took our luggage out of the taxi and took it up the stairs to our room. The homestay was very cosy with an stunning view (not far from viewpoint n.1 but with a much better completely amazing view). The rooms had outside on the balcony a table and a cosy sofa seating corner, protected from sun and rain where you could have soothe calm time while enjoying the beautiful sight; you see the whole mountainside and even the river! As Sherry travels a lot herself, she really knows what are the needs for her customers. She was so helpful with everything for us and she gave us much useful information for our next long itinerary. In the open lobby outside (a nice terras with a roof), there are several maps and we even changed our future route. Sitting on the sofas at the terras, the reception girls offered us tea and cookies and we even had a nice chat with English speaking people from Macao. 😊 The rooms, bed and bathroom are confortable and top clean with AC. As of the normal soap, shampoo and hairconditioner there was even bodylotion and disinfectant spray. There are 3 washing machines and a big place to dry your laundry. Just nearby there is a good restaurant and a little shop. In the night there is no noise. As Sherry was so kind, interesting and helpful, we even invited her to France. Hopefully we can see one day again! My husband and me were so happy to have chosen this homestay!"

"The route doesn't follow the winding mountain road; it's at the same altitude as the riverside road opposite, and there are streetlights along the way. All the guesthouses in this area are in the same direction (I was completely misled by the hotel addresses shared on Baidu the first time). The wooden cabin I stayed in had a pleasant woody smell, which was very comfortable. However, if you're traveling with family or have mobility issues, it's better to book a room on the ground floor for easier access. But having a private rooftop terrace is still very nice. I arrived at the guesthouse at sunset, and the owner had already given each of us an apple (I saw many guests using the shop's nets to pick fruit the next day). The yak meat hot pot was delicious, though it looked ordinary and didn't have any particularly rare mushrooms. Our group of four only ate half a pot of the meat. The owner and the staff were still cooking for arriving guests past 10 pm, and those staying on the rooftop were ecstatic by the aroma. The only downside was that breakfast was a bit simple (porridge, eggs, and steamed buns), but the auntie was very kind; and because of the wooden structure, there were still a few insects. But after visiting the actual village in the morning, I felt the accommodation here was quite good."
