Li County Hotels with Balcony

This is a Tang Dynasty-style guesthouse hidden deep in the village of Gulgou. It's about a 20-minute drive from Gulgou town. We arrived late at night in the dark, and the owner came down from the roadside to help us with our luggage. The guesthouse is built into the mountainside, so there are steps leading up and down, which can be a bit tiring. However, the view is absolutely stunning. Opening the windows and doors, you can see the distant colorful forests and snow-capped mountains, completely unobstructed. Every detail in the rooms is exquisite and refined. The carpets, stools, beds, washbasins, etc., were all carefully designed by the owner and handcrafted by artisans. They are truly unique and cannot be replicated. In the evening, we warmed ourselves by burning firewood in the fireplace. Sitting around the coffee table on the carpet, drinking tea and wine, we weren't cold at all. We chatted for a long time, sharing our views on Tang Dynasty history and modern society. The owner was very knowledgeable, and we listened attentively. At night, with the electric blankets on, we weren't cold either. The guesthouse is quiet, far from the hustle and bustle. We slept in until we naturally woke up in the morning. Breakfast was simple: sweet potato porridge, eggs, shumai, pickled vegetables, etc. It wasn't fancy, but it felt very much like ordinary rural life. We only stayed one day, but I must say, it's worth staying longer to experience a different way of life.

The hotel boasts an excellent, quiet, and easy-to-find location. There's an underground parking garage with charging stations, which is great for electric vehicles. The environment is elegant, with a lovely little courtyard downstairs. The courtyard's style is truly fantastic; it's so relaxing to sit there after a tiring day of sightseeing. The service is impeccable; the owner is incredibly thoughtful. I had planned to ask them to turn on the underfloor heating an hour beforehand, but to my surprise, they had already thoughtfully turned it on for us without us even asking. The room facilities are also very comprehensive, with smart home features throughout, and it's spotlessly clean. The owner clearly put a lot of effort into the decor, and all the toiletries are high-quality. In the morning, the owner provided us with their homemade yak noodle soup, which was incredibly delicious and flavorful. Moreover, the owner is a wonderful person. Since dogs aren't allowed in the scenic area, the owner even helped us look after our dog and turned on the air conditioning for our furry friend, fearing it might get cold! Truly, truly exceptional!

A great place for a relaxing weekend getaway! The room was actually more spacious than it appeared in the photos, and the decor was elegant and stylish. Having a laundry room and gym made the stay very comfortable and enjoyable. The staff were polite, professional, and attentive. The hotel was very generous, and all the little details showed how much effort the management put into running the place. Even though it was only a one-night stay, it was incredibly pleasant and satisfying.

Service: We arrived in Li County from Chengdu on Saturday afternoon, after 9 pm, past dinner time. But!! We brought our own food and asked the owner to cook it for us. The owner cooked it for free and even delivered it to our room! They were incredibly warm and patient! Environment: I was very satisfied with the environment. It was a small wooden cabin with a courtyard, with varying elevations. The soundproofing and privacy were excellent. The courtyard was well-maintained by the owner; it was beautiful and quiet. At night, I could hear the raindrops falling on the eaves, a gentle patter, and nothing else. I had a rare good night's sleep.

I arrived late that night, and most of the surrounding hotels were fully booked. This was a B&B, and the decor felt quite new. It had a smart home system throughout, with a smart toilet in the room, underfloor heating, and central heating. The hotel offered free parking, a children's play area, and a hot spring, though the hot spring closed around 10:30 PM. The front desk also provided complimentary fruit and self-service tea, as well as free disposable toiletries. The facilities are comparable to those of a mid-to-high-end chain hotel. Breakfast was available, and while the variety wasn't extensive, there were noodles, congee, buns, and dumplings – enough to fill you up. Overall, the service was excellent. The only minor drawback was the cleanliness; it wasn't quite up to par. The remote control holder was dusty, and there was dust on the tables. Improving the cleanliness would make it absolutely perfect.

We arrived early around 11.30am and the staff kindly allowed us to check in. Since the room wasn’t ready yet, we left our luggage and walked to Bipenggou Park, which is only about 10 minutes away. The room has floor heating, making it very cozy and warm despite the cold weather. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone planning to overnight in Bipenggou.

Great location, new and clean facilities, and a super comfy bed with a heated blanket under the bed sheet so no more dry air from a heater. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The highlight was definitely the toilet — the best I’ve seen in China, with a warm seat! Will definitely come back and highly recommend this place. 👍

The facilities are quite complete. The wooden cabins are surrounded by a riot of wildflowers and lush greenery in summer, so the natural setting is absolutely stunning. However, very few of the outdoor hot spring pools were open, and aside from the rooftop infinity pool, only a handful of indoor pools were available. So, the hot spring experience in summer was just so-so. We stayed in a 'Flower Field Cabin,' which felt a bit damp, and a quick glance at the bathroom showed some mold... If you're a clean freak, it's best not to look too closely. But considering we're in the mountains, you can't really complain about these conditions. The breakfast was quite rich, and we also had dinner at the hotel, which was pretty good.

After leaving Bipenggou in the evening, we found this nearby accommodation, and I thought this cabin was quite unique. The overall value for money was pretty good, and it was very clean everywhere once we got in. You could see the stars just by opening the door at night, and we woke up to bright sunshine the next day. The overall experience was quite good!!

[Traveling with family] The hotel is a bit vintage. The room is very big, the bed is big, and there is a lot of space. The bedroom balcony gives us a view of the mountains and the water. It is very peaceful and quiet. It is a good place to sit and relax. There are some limitations regarding bathroom equipment. You should bring your own just in case. Ready-made towels. If there are not enough, you can ask for more.
