Deqin Guyu Huating Inn

My room was as described. Functional and nice and warm (with heating on) with an excellent hot shower and nice wooden wall beams. The people who run the place are lovely and also offer nice breakfast options in the morning. The only small note I have is that (despite best efforts and a very modern ventilation system in the bathroom) the bathroom is already moldy. I understand that it's a challenge to get under control given the climate. I would stay again next time, and actually spend more than just one night here. There is so much you can explore here!

Great place to stay while hiking. Nice comfortable beds, hot water, electric blankets. Only had disposable towels in my room. Good food in the kitchen also! And hiking poles to borrow (would recommend taking hiking poles to Glacier Lake, not as necessary for the waterfall). GREAT VIEW.

The hotel had the best view and the best service throughout our yunnan trip. They even allowed us to upgrade our room for free. Really recommend this hotel for your yubeng stay!!

VERY DISAPPOINTING! Overall: The inn is nice and confortable but the service is terrible. Service made us feel very unwelcome and ruined the experience. Room: humble but comfortable room. You can ask for a heater, which is very needed in the winter months (we stayed here in late November). Be aware that some rooms are marked as “Mountain View” but in fact you’re in a covered area so won’t really have a view (pictures attached) - we booked one of these rooms but since it was low season we were lucky to get a free upgrade and get one of the few rooms with a nice view. Cleanliness: the rooms are relatively clean, but we had a mouldy shower curtain (see pictures). Amenities: the restaurant / front desk area is very nice and cosy. Service: terrible! Every time we needed their assistance it felt as if we were disturbing them from sitting by the fire (even though they barely had any customers and it seemed as if they were not busy at all). We are international traveler’s that don’t speak Chinese and the service was unhelpful and not welcoming. We’ve had no issues anywhere else in our trip in China, this was definitely the worst we have experienced. After reading other reviews it seems that the boss is very helpful, but he wasn’t there when we stayed at the inn and it appears that the workers don’t do a good job when he is not around. The workers didn’t advise us that we needed crampons for one of the hikes we did (hikers from other inns told us that these were a must) so we had to reluctantly stay one more night to complete the hike. When we booked another night, one service member told us a price and another service person told us a different (lower, almost 100cny lower) price. We were then charged the first (higher) price, which made us feel quite uncomfortable. The day after when we tried to rent crampons from the inn the lady told us that it was 20 cny to rent per day, and that in other places it was 40 cny per day. We decided not to rent them because they looked in very bad condition. We later found out that you can buy them brand new at “meets meili snow mountain” for 35cny and use them for the 2 hikes. We also had to rent hiking poles even though they provide them for free at the hotel given that the ones they had didn’t look in good condition and weren’t tall enough for us (the lady at the desk got frustrated with us because of this). Overall, very unhelpful, impatient service - we felt extremely uncomfortable because of it. If you’re an international traveller and don’t speak much Chinese stay away!! Food: was good but small portions compared to other places. We ended up eating most of our meals elsewhere because the service made us feel very unwelcome. Limited breakfast options, there’s many more options at “meets meili snow mountain”.

Nice and cleen hotel. The rooms are right in front of the amazing view.

房間雖然比較小，但是設施和環境是這趟雨崩旅行最舒服的，服務體驗和一兩百的客棧隔了幾個檔次。一共住了三家，一百多的、兩百多的到這家三百多，就是這家給我最舒服的感覺 一開始剛入住的時候老闆就看到我行囊多，説要幫我搬到了房間去，老闆原本還想幫我背最重的那個包，説我上來肯定已經很累了，這個讓人覺得很温暖，住的另外兩家都沒有這樣的服務態度 另外，房間裏的配套也非常非常滿意，因為這裏竟然配了一次性浴巾、洗臉巾還有馬桶套，之前住的都沒有，根本不用擔心客棧的毛巾不乾淨了。洗澡的熱水也夠，但是要等個兩三分鐘才會到最熱，洗的很舒服，廁所整體很齊整，另外吹風筒也是我住了幾家客棧最好用的一個，功率特別足，之前住的幾家要麼壞的要麼不夠熱。最後外面還有洗衣機提供，不用擔心徒步汗濕了沒得換洗，也有一個大平台有遮的能給我們曬衣服。 最後有一個露台可以觀賞雪山，很不錯 整體來説，住宿體驗很棒，三百多的價格性價比個人感覺算很高了，很推薦大家住這裏
