"I originally booked my stay at Danman Hotel hoping to take advantage of certain perks, so I was a bit disappointed when I arrived and found none of them available. However, I have to admit, the comfort of the room and the excellent location pulled me back from the brink of leaving a bad review!
Shangri-La's cold is bone-chilling, but the underfloor heating in this hotel room was perfectly controlled. As soon as I walked in, it was wonderfully warm, completely banishing the high-altitude chill. The electric blanket was also a highlight: at night, the electric blanket on the bed was incredibly comfortable, heated up quickly, and wasn't drying. On a cold high-altitude night, snuggling into such a warm bed was pure bliss – an absolute savior for anyone sensitive to cold! The room was clean and tidy, and lying in bed, I felt warmth envelop my entire body. I didn't experience any altitude sickness and slept soundly.
The location is absolutely fantastic! Stepping outside or going up to the rooftop, you get an unobstructed view of the Giant Buddha Temple at Guishan Park.
During the day, you can watch the golden roof glisten in the sun, feeling the solemnity and sacredness of Shangri-La. At night, the temple is beautifully lit up, twinkling against the starry sky, creating an incredible ambiance. This 'view from your window' experience saved me from a lot of traveling around, and every photo I took looked amazing.
My advice for future travelers: if you're booking for specific perks, I recommend confirming them with the owner beforehand to avoid disappointment, as I experienced. But if you're looking for a place with an unbeatable location, a warm room, and a friendly owner, Danman is definitely worth considering!
In summary: This might not be the most luxurious place, but it's certainly the most heartwarming and welcoming. Thank you to the owner for your hospitality; you gave me a warm night in Shangri-La."
