Minshan Grand Hotel

I traveled to Jiuzhaigou with my child and chose this hotel for convenience. It's located right at the entrance of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, surrounded by hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, and convenience stores, making dining, shopping, and getting around quite easy. We booked a standard room. The hotel corridors and room cleanliness were average, and the room was quite small. They provided two complimentary bottles of mineral water. The TV wall was very close to the bed, and our luggage had to be placed on the floor in the hallway near the door. There was no wardrobe in the room, but they did provide a few hangers, and clothes could be hung on a small rack in the corner of the room. The hotel offers a buffet breakfast on the first floor with freshly prepared items, which met our breakfast needs. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the hotel to the Jiuzhaigou scenic area entrance, or about seven to eight minutes by car. However, during peak hours, there are a lot of vehicles due to the large number of tourists. The room's soundproofing was mediocre; we could hear the noise from outside.

The hotel is quite close to Moon Bay parking lot, and the distance to the scenic area is also acceptable. There are many restaurants nearby. Breakfast is served at 7:30 AM, which is a bit late, but everything else is pretty good.

The room environment was quite good, and the front desk service was excellent. They reserved a parking spot for us and were very attentive! There are plenty of great places to eat right across the street, and many other delicious options within a 10-minute walk to the scenic area entrance. We arrived around 2 AM, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. I forgot to take pictures of the hotel, so I'll just share a photo of the view from outside the door.

The breakfast selection is decent. It's not too far from the scenic area entrance, about a ten-minute walk, and the room was relatively quiet. There are many restaurants downstairs, and the central air conditioning in the room works quite well.

The location is convenient for dining and shopping. It's about a 15-minute walk from the hotel to the scenic area entrance. If you're taking the bus, this hotel is close to the Zangwangyanwu (******* King's Feast Dance) parking lot stop (the pick-up point is at Luckin Coffee). The rice noodles made by the breakfast chef were delicious, and the coffee was good too. Since it was the off-season, our room was upgraded. It faced the hillside, which was quieter. The only downside was the cleanliness. There were light yellow stains along the water line in the toilet, and the bathmat towels weren't replaced daily during our three-day stay.

Compared to other places nearby, this hotel offers great value for money, especially considering its quality during the Chinese New Year period. The front desk staff, both the guys and girls, were really nice. The hotel is about a 10-20 minute walk from the Jiuzhaigou ticket office, which makes getting there and back very convenient.

The hotel was very welcoming, and they had already turned on the air conditioning before I arrived. The surrounding area is lively with plenty of convenient dining options.
