Cheap Hotels in Dayi

"I read a lot of reviews beforehand saying the hotels on the mountain weren't great in terms of environment and hygiene. After checking in, I was pleasantly surprised – it's actually pretty good for a mountain hotel. The next morning, we took the cable car up to Yinyangjie and saw soft natural snow and little squirrels. It wasn't too crowded during the Chinese New Year period. Overall, a pretty good trip!"

"Before I went, I checked out the hotel and still trusted the Howard Johnson brand. As soon as I drove in, a security guard guided me to parking. The front desk staff, Haly, was especially thoughtful and gave my child lollipops. They upgraded my room type to two connecting rooms. The service was excellent, and I'm definitely planning to come back soon. The travel photography service was also top-notch; they clearly understood what I wanted and upgraded the photo package. It's truly worth experiencing."

"Overall, the room was decent, but the cleaning wasn't thorough. Under the bed was quite dirty, with lots of dust and papers. For a price of over 1200 yuan, including tickets for two adults and the cable car up to the ski resort, plus the bus fee, it felt like a good deal. The tickets alone would be 240*2=480, and we also received a 100 yuan dinner voucher. So, 1250 - 580 = 670, meaning the room itself was around 670 yuan a night, which is pretty reasonable for the period around Chinese New Year. The bottled water in the room was a super big bottle, and the hotel dinner was delicious. It was very cost-effective with the voucher – the boiled fish and cauliflower were absolutely amazing, I highly recommend them! The room was advertised as having underfloor heating, but the floor wasn't actually warm. However, it wasn't cold in the room, so it was fine. Xiling Snow Mountain is perfect for kids to play in the snow, build snowmen, and ski. It snowed on Feb 7th and 8th, and we arrived on the afternoon of Feb 10th. Our younger child played for a good half-day just building snowmen at the hotel entrance. The older child went skiing at the resort, hired an instructor for 2 hours, and skied for 4 hours. Renting gear and all cost about 1000 yuan. The instructor suggested booking a 2-hour single board lesson for 600 yuan upfront. If you book an hour and then extend for another, it's 340+340=680 yuan. Adult skiing costs 168 for two hours, and children's skiing is 128 for two hours, with an extension fee of 30 yuan for half an hour. Once accumulated to 6 hours, it becomes a full-day pass. Our child wanted to learn snowboarding, so we hired a single board instructor. We only booked for an hour initially, thinking an extension would be calculated as part of the 600 yuan total, but it wasn't; it was 340+340=680. Since we rarely visit, it's fine as long as the child had fun. I feel it's much better than going to Harbin in Northeast China. It was too cold there when I visited, and the kids couldn't really enjoy playing in the snow because only their eyes could be exposed, and they needed two pairs of gloves to stay warm. But Xiling Snow Mountain was great! The 0-degree temperature wasn't too cold, and the kids had a blast. No wonder it's called the warmest snow mountain! Before going, I was hesitant, wondering if it would be as underwhelming as some online reviews suggested, but I genuinely found it very worthwhile. The free snow play area is quite large, feeling even bigger than the paid Panda Paradise. I also recommend going up to Sun and Moon Peak (Riyueping). Children under 13 are free, and adults are 96 yuan each. You might even see squirrels 🐿️ up there. We went up in the afternoon, so it might have been too cold by evening for the squirrels to be out. Those who went in the morning saw them. We were playing in the snow at the entrance, and a guest told us Riyueping was worth taking the kids up to, so we rushed there before leaving in the afternoon. I recommend going around 9 AM when the sun is just out and warm, and you'll have a better chance of seeing squirrels 🐿️."

"This hotel was a pleasant surprise; it really feels like a local five-star in terms of amenities. The rooms have high-quality wallpaper, and the mattresses are excellent, offering a very luxurious feel for this price point. The toiletries are Rosedale, and my hair felt wonderfully fluffy after washing—definitely not the cheap stuff you find in most hotels. The toothbrush was super soft; I even took it home because I didn't want to throw it away. The pool is heated, and my child played for two hours and didn't want to leave. There's also a huge, well-designed playground. Breakfast was also top-notch, truly worth it. I'm not a shill; I haven't written such a long review in ages. I wish you great success in your business!"

"The room facilities were excellent, with really powerful hot water, and the room itself was spacious and very clean. On the 5th floor, there's a laundry room and a gym, where you can wash and dry clothes. The front desk service was also superb. In the lobby, they offer hot water, drinks, and cookies, and someone immediately offers you hot water as soon as you enter. The service was very thoughtful. The environment is also nice, with plenty of convenient dining options nearby. This stay was a fantastic experience. The front desk had many cute little pandas on display, which looked great. Definitely coming back next time!"

"After a long search, I finally found this hidden gem – a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. It's great for families with kids or for bringing your parents along. Getting there from Chengdu is super convenient, just an hour's drive. Upon arrival, I contacted the butler, and someone immediately came out to greet us and help with our luggage. The service was excellent! Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and it truly felt like a luxurious experience. Afternoon tea was a buffet with unlimited beer, drinks, and various snacks. They started pampering us with food the moment we arrived. The in-room amenities were also fantastic, including a Dyson hairdryer (I wasn't even planning on washing my hair, haha!). The butlers were incredibly responsive and patient in helping with all our requests. Overall, I absolutely loved it here and will definitely be back!"

"Hygienic, clean and comfortable! The environment is elegant and quiet at night. It is comparable to a five-star hotel. The front desk also has fruit for guests to pick up at will. The young lady at the front desk is very enthusiastic and the service attitude is very good! It is very convenient to go to Liu's Manor, Jianchuan Museum and Gongguan Old Street from the store."

"The hotel environment is lovely, lush and green. The amenities are also well-developed, and it's very close to the ancient town. The garden room was very quiet, perfect for enjoying the full moon at night, which put me in a great mood. The guest rooms are well-maintained, and the breakfast selection met my expectations. A special shout-out to the front desk team for their warm and responsive service. Overall, highly recommended."

"Very spacious rooms with double queen beds. Closed to city center and night market area by walking distance. The hotel offers pickup and drop off service which superb because we came as family of 10 people with many luggages and a wheelchair thus need to be done in two rounds, thus really appreciate their service and hospitality. They also offer free mineral water bottles just outside the lift area. High recommended and we definitely will stay again when we visit Dayi again."

"The hotel is conveniently located, and the staff are very welcoming. When we were getting our room cards at the front desk, the staff noticed we were traveling with a child and thoughtfully upgraded us to a spacious suite. At night, we could even see spectacular fireworks from our window! The hotel boasts a wide array of hot spring facilities, including pools of various temperatures, dry and wet saunas, and forest hot spring channels. This offers great value for money for visitors, especially the sulfur hot spring, which is truly exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed our 'hot spring journey'!"
