Seventeen Hotel . Meili

The room's location is fantastic, right next to the Feilai Temple observation deck. The rooftop café is incredibly cozy; you can just sink into a sofa, sip coffee, and gaze at the snow-capped mountains – it's absolutely delightful. In the morning, you can watch the sunrise directly from the café's viewing platform.

The room is spacious with a perfect view of the snow-capped mountains from the balcony. You can also see them from the window inside the room, but you might need to adjust your position. The facilities are comprehensive. The service is excellent; if the hotel parking is full, you can park in the public parking lot, and a butler will guide you, with the cost being free. The bar has an absolutely stunning view, and considering its location, the prices are quite reasonable, even cheap. The service was exceptional; I accidentally left some luggage behind, and they immediately helped me contact my chartered driver to have it brought back to the city the next day. This was an unexpected and above-and-beyond service. Many thanks! 🙏

The room's location is absolutely fantastic, right above the Feilai Temple viewing platform. I booked the most expensive room type, which has a pretty big balcony, and the window directly faces the Goddess Peak – it's incredibly beautiful! However, to be honest, the price is a bit steep. The hardware and service are worth about 1000 yuan; the rest of the value comes from the sacred mountain itself.

The facilities are brand new, clean, and quiet, and the location is directly across the road from the popular Feilai Temple viewpoint. The 4th-floor cafe's balcony offers direct views of the 'Golden Mountain in the Sunrise,' so you don't have to brave the crowds at the viewpoint. It's only open to hotel guests, which is truly amazing! The bus from Shangri-La arrived, and the hotel was just a 5-minute drive away. They even sent someone to pick us up, and the service attitude was excellent – absolutely no complaints.

The hotel's location is superb, directly facing Shennü Peak and offering a side view of Kalaboge Peak. The top floor features a panoramic cafe and terrace. The terrace view is fantastic, allowing you to avoid the crowds at public viewing platforms. It's not locked at night, so guests can come and go as they please. Early in the morning, the cafe attendant turns on the underfloor heating and brews tea, so you won't freeze while waiting for the sunrise – very thoughtful. We also received a complimentary double afternoon tea set upon check-in, which was excellent. The facilities are among the best in the area. The rooms are spacious, the underfloor heating works well, and the bedding is especially comfortable. If you want a mountain view from your room, you'll need to be on the second or third floor, as the first floor has some obstructions (pic 8). The hotel proactively contacts you about transportation, making check-in very smooth. They help with luggage and show you how to use the in-room amenities. Their message replies are also very prompt. Overall, it's one of the best hotels in Feilai Temple, though the price is on the higher side. About half the cost goes towards the scenic views, so the overall value for money is decent. Here's a practical note: there's an incense burning platform northwest of the Feilai Temple viewing platform, quite close to the hotel's right front. In the morning during sunrise, there's a lot of dense incense smoke. Whether it obstructs the view depends purely on the wind direction (luck). The smoke occasionally drifts onto the terrace just as the 'Golden Mountain' effect is happening.

If I had to sum it up in a few words, it's definitely 'worth the money'. First off, price-wise, it's certainly not cheap. However, considering the overall room comfort and the convenience of the views, it's absolutely worth it. All the staff were quite enthusiastic and always ready to answer any questions. They even proactively upgraded our room when conditions allowed. Guests can also enjoy complimentary afternoon tea, and the views from the fourth floor mean you don't even need to leave the hotel or compete with other guests for a spot on the viewing platform. As for food, the variety and content of the breakfast buffet were quite satisfying, and the taste was good. Dinner was also decent, but the price was steep, comparable to restaurants in Shanghai. I highly recommend staying for a day or two if your budget allows!
