4-Star Hotels in Jiuzhaigou

An absolutely secluded retreat: True to its name, Jiushan is a top choice for escaping the world. When they picked me up to go up the mountain, we turned off the national road onto a very small and narrow path. The owner explained that he had to get permission from every villager along the way to build it, and it immediately felt very hidden and mysterious, yet also strangely welcoming. While not completely surrounded by the nine sacred mountains of Jiuzhaigou, the guesthouse lobby and rooms offer an uninterrupted view of continuous mountain ranges right in front. The scenery changes rapidly with the weather, and simply sitting, lying, or standing and daydreaming, you feel healed by the view. It really is worth staying on the mountain; the scenery is a natural gift that hotels downhill just can't compare to. When I contacted them in advance, they mentioned upgrading me to a room with floor-to-ceiling windows. It was raining when I arrived, and I ended up in a room called 'Rain' – everything felt perfectly serendipitous. The owner told me that the misty mountain view I saw that day was even rarer than the 'golden mountains in the sun.' I went downstairs and sat under a tent for a while, quietly listening to the rain and bird songs, taking deep breaths of fresh air – it felt like a full body cleanse. Sure enough, the next day, after clear skies, the scenery was completely different, offering an experience of peaceful reading in the sunlight. On the first evening, I only intended to heat up some beef baked buns I'd bought downhill, but I was drawn to the bonfire that had been set up and ended up sitting there for ages. I didn't have my phone, just watched the crackling fire, zoned out, chatted, and even cadged a few beers. After checking in, I completely forgot about my plans to go down the mountain to other scenic spots. I've often thought that for city dwellers, travel is a process of returning to oneself. We're bombarded with enough information usually, so being able to be alone in an undisturbed place, even just to daydream, is the best possible experience.

Checked into this B&B, and it's absolutely gorgeous! The TV screen is huge, there's a smart voice assistant, and a smart toilet. The front desk staff were very welcoming, and the B&B's shuttle service is convenient. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby. It might be a little out of the way, but the surrounding area is full of B&Bs, many of which seem to be Tibetan-style architecture. For a location near the gorge entrance, this place offers great value for money.

This guesthouse is an absolute gem! I spent ages looking for a place to stay with my parents in Jiuzhaigou, and I'm so glad I chose this one. It completely exceeded my expectations! The service was outstanding, and the value for money was incredible. The rooms were even better than pictured, and the environment was fantastic. Plus, it's super convenient, right across from 'The Romance of the Song Dynasty,' with tons of dining, entertainment, and shopping nearby. It's also pet-friendly!! If you have a pet, don't even think twice, just book it! (The husky, Hanhan, was so well-behaved, mooching food, drinks, and AC in my room – so adorable I almost wanted to take him home!) I'm definitely coming back in the autumn!!! I've already recommended it to all my friends; seriously, just go for it! (My mom specifically told me to leave a review because it was so, so good!!!)

This hotel is super nice, with an excellent location right at the entrance of Jiuzhaigou Valley, about a 10-minute walk from the ticket office. I have to commend the 'E-personality' lady at the front desk – she was incredibly enthusiastic! Every day, she generously gave us fresh yak yogurt (I checked, and they were all freshly made) and even gave us discount coupons for the hotel restaurant. The restaurant is also great; the yak hotpot was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The room has 24-hour diffused oxygen supply, so there's no need to worry about altitude sickness; I slept very comfortably. Plus, the smart home system throughout the room was fantastic, the facilities are new, and the environment is very clean.

Real experience: The experience was great, definitely a hotel I'd visit again. 1. Outdoor rooftop hot spring: Enjoying a private hot spring at 9 PM, 2000 meters above sea level – just thinking about it is romantic! 2. Fully smart room: Very convenient. The smart speaker controls the curtains and lights, and there's a smart toilet. The room is very new. 3. The front desk lady was very helpful; I left some wet clothes behind, and she even helped me dry them. Small suggestions: A guesthouse with a dryer would be a plus! If the room could provide 1-2 laundry bags, it would be more convenient as carrying small items downstairs can be a bit awkward. The front desk lady did find me a plastic bag, though. Overall, highly recommended! The pillows and mattress were also very comfortable to sleep on. 😘

Beyond expectations! I booked on two different platforms, and the front desk upgraded my room for free. It had a big window with a great view and excellent soundproofing. The room was very clean. The only minor issue was the motion-sensor light by the door, which would turn on at night if I got up, but it's a small detail that doesn't detract from the overall experience. Service: They have a laundry room, and the cleanliness was superb. I honestly think it's better than some hotels in Chengdu's city center. Environment: It's about 1.4 kilometers from the scenic spot entrance, a convenient ten-minute taxi ride.

This Vienna International Hotel (Jiuzhaigou Tourist Center store) was the perfect choice for our self-driving trip to Jiuzhaigou! They have a free parking lot right out front, so no worries about parking. They also offer a self-service laundry room and a gym, which was great for washing clothes after hiking. It's not far from the scenic area, saving us travel time, and the hot water in the room was consistently good. The cleanliness was meticulously maintained. The hotel can help arrange airport/station pickup; we paid 70 RMB per person, and it took about two hours to get from Huanglong Jiuzhai to the hotel. They contacted us a day in advance, which was great service, and even upgraded our room. Breakfast was decent, and there are some good BBQ and restaurants right outside the hotel. In the mornings, the hotel provides a free shuttle to the scenic area entrance, but you'll need to take a taxi back.

When we arrived at the hotel, the staff member who greeted us was incredibly welcoming and helpful, assisting with our luggage and constantly making sure we had everything we needed. They even provided shuttle service to and from the scenic spots. The ladies in the breakfast area were also very friendly, and the environment was pleasant. It was quiet at night, ensuring a good night's sleep. Overall, it was an excellent stay, and I would definitely choose this B&B again if I have the chance.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We drink a lot of water, and they didn't bat an eye, which was great. The sister who wore traditional clothing also had excellent service. However, the rooftop on the fourth floor was quite desolate, and there were sunflower seed shells left there for days without being cleaned. The hotel is not far from the scenic area. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. You get what you pay for, and for the price, I think it met expectations. The only thing I didn't particularly like was the breakfast; it wasn't very tasty. The buns, corn, and purple sweet potatoes were all cold, and the noodle topping wasn't good. But we stayed for two days, and while the first day's breakfast was terrible, the second day's was much better, so it might depend on the specific day. Overall, it's pretty good – not amazing value, but not a bad deal either. It's an average guesthouse, which is perfectly normal.

The hotel's location is excellent; a 700-meter walk to the right from the entrance takes you directly to the Jiuzhaigou ticket office. They also offer a free parking lot downstairs. The service was an added bonus – seeing that I was traveling with a child, they kindly upgraded our room and even gave us complimentary breakfast vouchers. The breakfast selection was extensive and absolutely delicious! 😋
