Manxin Hotel Shangri-La Dukezong Ancient City

This hotel has its own underground parking, which is great for those traveling by car. They also offer diffused oxygen, which is a nice touch. It's about a ten-minute walk to the center of the old town. What's really cool is that they use little robots for room service and deliveries. The breakfast spread is very generous too!

We booked Manxin at the last minute. We originally had a B&B reserved, but after visiting Pudacuo National Park, my child experienced some altitude sickness from walking the boardwalks. I asked the B&B owner, and they only had an oxygen concentrator. Since I have one at home, I know they're noisy when running and can't be used for long periods. Plus, the nasal cannula's airflow can be drying and cause nosebleeds. So, we decided to look for a B&B with diffused oxygen. I still want to thank the original B&B owner here; they were very understanding about the cancellation. While driving, we searched for hotels. Manxin had been recommended on Xiaohongshu, and as it's a Huazhu chain, and I'd stayed at one in Beijing, I had a good impression of the overall quality, so we booked it. The traffic in the old town is concerning; narrow alleys make passing difficult, with pedestrians, electric bikes, mini electric cars, regular cars, garbage trucks, and delivery vehicles all mixed together. Luckily, the hotel is very close to the main street, just about 50 meters in. It also has its own underground parking, which, despite being a steep ramp straight down, felt quite safe (I asked the front desk if it ever flooded, and they said no). I want to thank the front desk here, especially the experienced young lady. When I arrived, there were no double rooms available, so she upgraded us to a 'Starlight Room.' However, the Starlight Room was street-facing, and I'm sensitive to noise when I sleep. So, she kindly helped us switch to a 'View Room' on the same floor. Although I wasn't particularly interested in the view, you could see a corner of the Giant Buddha Temple in the distance from the room. The oxygen supply was quick, and my child's blood oxygen level quickly rose to 94%. While my child rested in the room, I went out to explore the old town. It's very close to Moonlight Square and even closer to the intangible cultural heritage experiences. My main reason for staying in the old town was for these experiences, and Manxin is only about a four or five-minute walk away. The breakfast was much more abundant than at B&Bs, and they even had yak butter tea. The lady making the rice noodles was also very friendly, which was a much better experience than staying at the Lijiang B&B before.

The hotel facilities are excellent. The dispersed oxygen supply system is a lifesaver; I didn't feel any altitude sickness in the room at all. The hotel is quiet yet centrally located, about a 10-minute walk from the Big Prayer Wheel, which is very convenient. There are also plenty of restaurants and shopping options nearby.

The room was comfortable and the service was excellent, with a very welcoming front desk. Its location within Dukezong Ancient City is super convenient. The room amenities were complete, and the diffused oxygen system was especially comfortable, preventing any altitude sickness. The breakfast was also plentiful!

The room was clean and fresh, with no strange odors, and the soundproofing was good. The diffused oxygen supply made for a comfortable stay. The manager and everyone at the front desk were very friendly and professional. The hotel also has parking. Breakfast starts at 7 AM, which is great for early birds who want to get a head start on sightseeing. Our room had a view of Baiji Temple, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the prayer wheel. It's a shame, as some rooms do offer a view of the prayer wheel, which would be lovely. The aunties in the restaurant were very nice, and the food was hygienic and delicious. However, there was one staff member with bangs whose service attitude was quite poor. She was unhelpful and seemed to imply we were going to steal something when she put food away in the evening, which made us uncomfortable and we didn't go back for dinner. Seeing her again at breakfast, she still had this unwelcoming attitude, as if we owed her money. It was truly frustrating. I hope management can provide additional training for certain staff members.

The Manxin Hotel in Shangri-La Dukezong Ancient City is very close to the ancient city, so the location is great. Parking is also convenient. Facilities: Decent. Hygiene: Decent. Environment: Decent.

[Worry-free Dining] Restaurant-wide diffused oxygen supply: Excellent.

The room was very clean and new, and the oxygen supply was good. The breakfast was much more abundant than other brands within the HUAZHU group. It's very close to the ancient town, and most places are within a fifteen-minute walk. The hotel also has its own electric vehicle charging stations, and the charging price is very reasonable, at only one yuan per kilowatt-hour. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I come to Shangri-La.

This is genuinely the most comfortable and pleasant HUAZHU hotel I've ever stayed in. The facilities are brand new, the whole room has an oxygen supply, and the cleaning staff does an excellent job – it's spotless! They even provide Coke and Sprite daily. The best part is how spacious the room is, truly giving you a feeling of being at home. My only wish is that the hotel offered a shuttle service, even if it's for a fee, because getting a taxi in the morning is nearly impossible.

The environment is elegant and clean, the service is thoughtful and attentive, the room is comfortable and cozy, and the facilities are complete. The overall atmosphere is fantastic.
