Normally, I'm quite lazy about writing reviews, but this place truly deserves one.
This hotel is located near the West Gate, in a private and very quiet area. It boasts a beautiful view overlooking Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. In the morning, we were treated to the stunning sight of the 'Golden Sunshine on the Snow Mountain.'
The owner is a local, so his English isn't perfect, but he is incredibly enthusiastic and made a great effort to communicate with us. If your Chinese isn't strong, like ours, using Weixin (WeChat) for communication is very convenient.
Initially, we were concerned about having to drag our luggage through the old town's ancient streets, as Amap showed that cars weren't allowed. However, the hotel's car can drop you off very close by, just about a 2-minute walk from the entrance. The owner even helped us carry our bags.
The hotel is a renovated traditional house, so much of its original structure has been preserved. Naturally, the facilities aren't brand new, but we spent most of our time sightseeing. For this price and view, you really can't ask for more.
Moreover, the hotel sells oxygen bottles at a very reasonable price—10 yuan each. If you plan to climb Jade Dragon Snow Mountain or are susceptible to altitude sickness, it's wise to buy a few to keep on hand. They are essential. The owner also gave us valuable tips on how to handle altitude sickness.
The hotel also offers daily car rentals. The driver, a friend of the owner, can take you to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Baisha Old Town, or other areas. He is very friendly and hospitable. If we get the chance, we would definitely return.
