Snow Mountain Wake Up Hotel

This guesthouse is relatively new with excellent facilities and a prime location. You can see the famous 'Golden Mountain of Meili Snow Mountain' right from the rooftop, which is a fantastic sight, especially in winter when the probability of seeing it is very high! It's about a 1.5-hour car ride from Shangri-La to Feilai Temple Guesthouse. After getting off in Feilai Temple, it's at least a 15-minute walk to the guesthouse, as I tend to walk slower at high altitudes. The staff here are very welcoming; they even gave me a small gift at check-out. They also offer sweet soup in an insulated container in the evenings. The guesthouse has an elevator, which is a plus. While the breakfast selection isn't huge, it's well-balanced with both Chinese and Western options. The rooms are equipped with oxygen machines, which is really thoughtful for first-time visitors to high-altitude areas.

The view from this spot is absolutely incredible! We arrived last night just in time to catch the fireworks from the viewing platform – it was breathtaking. This morning, I pulled back the curtains and could see the entire Meili Snow Mountain, from the moonlight fading to the golden sun illuminating its peaks!

Service: The service was excellent. They created a group chat for our room and even provided sweet soup daily. Facilities: Waking up to a view of the snow-capped mountains every day was incredibly therapeutic. They also had small fireworks at sunset daily. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

I rarely write reviews on Ctrip; usually, I only do so when something is exceptionally good or so terribly bad that I can't tolerate it. This hotel falls into the former category—it's exceptionally, exceptionally good. The views go without saying, there are tons of pictures online. The photos below were all taken from the hotel's rooftop. What I really want to praise is the hotel's service. When I was suffering from severe altitude sickness, a lady from the hotel proactively drove me to the hospital. She waited for us throughout the check-up and then drove us back. All subsequent services during our stay were also excellent. Knowing I had altitude sickness, they provided an extra oxygen concentrator when the central oxygen supply wasn't available, and their concentrator was much better. The night before, I also experienced altitude sickness in Shangri-La, but the oxygen concentrator at the Shangri-La hotel was very ineffective; even with the nasal cannula, it didn't help much. The oxygen concentrator at Waking Up to Snow Mountain, however, as soon as it was turned on, I could clearly feel the oxygen flow and concentration were much better than at the Shangri-La hotel. In short, I'm truly grateful to the staff; thanks to them, I was able to endure and successfully see the 'Golden Mountain Bathed in Sunlight' before descending. Originally, I had booked the 'Guijing Tiantang' (Viewing Paradise), but since it's on a hillside, I was worried about not being able to climb due to altitude sickness. So, after much consideration, I chose Waking Up to Snow Mountain. Now, I'm incredibly glad I made that decision because due to altitude sickness, I didn't even have the strength to walk from Waking Up to Snow Mountain to the Feilai Temple viewing platform. All the sights I saw were from my room and the hotel rooftop. I also ate at the hotel's own restaurant, and the dishes we ordered were all delicious. I hope everyone can avoid altitude sickness and enjoy the 'Golden Mountain Bathed in Sunlight' in good health and happiness!

This hotel has two main advantages: 1. Great location for watching both the sunrise and sunset. 2. Friendly staff with warm smiles and a convenient shuttle service.

The hotel's location is excellent; you can enjoy stunning views of the snow-capped mountains right from your room. The rooftop pool offers a beautiful reflection of the mountains, perfect for photos. Plus, it's away from the noise of the hotels directly facing the main viewing platform. The butler service was attentive, and breakfast offered a good variety. The evening fireworks were quite special, and the complimentary travel photography session was also a nice touch. Very satisfied!
