"This is my second time staying at Huanli Gaokong Hotel. After my first stay last year, I enthusiastically recommended it to all my friends and relatives visiting Leshan. They all gave it five-star reviews, praising my good taste! They especially loved its cleanliness, the excellent staff attitude, and the smart, well-designed rooms.
This weekend, I brought my little foodies to Leshan for a culinary trip, and I booked this hotel again without a second thought! We picked up the kids after work on Friday, and it's just a 40-minute high-speed train ride from Chengdu. Earlier in the day, the hotel called me to confirm whether we'd be driving or taking the train. The front desk suggested that guests arriving by high-speed train should directly queue for a taxi outside the station, as it's the most convenient way, costing just the minimum fare to the hotel. They explained that ride-hailing apps require walking to the underground parking lot across from the station – kudos to them for this tip! And sure enough, taking a taxi was indeed the quickest way! (Last time, when I drove, they even sent a parking guide beforehand, and front desk staff met us at the parking lot to help with luggage.)
The hotel's location is absolutely superb! It's just a 10-minute taxi ride to Suji Ancient Town, and a less than 5-minute walk to the Shishao Ito mall next door. Right downstairs is Ye Po Po Bobo Chicken, and there are countless other delicious eateries nearby. Although breakfast isn't included, you're spoiled for choice with various authentic Leshan breakfast options right downstairs, like the delicious Jiujiu Doufunao and Shaomai. Leshan is a food paradise; who needs pre-packaged breakfast buns and soy milk anyway? 😄 Last night, we even ordered fried skewers for a late-night snack. There's also a Baishan Malatang downstairs; we tried it for lunch today, and the taste was simply mind-blowing. The dipping sauces were unbeatable, and the prices were so affordable – about two-thirds the cost of skewers in Chengdu!
Back to the hotel itself: upon arrival, they offer complimentary lemon water, similar to Mixue Bingcheng. The front desk also sends recommendations for nearby restaurants, food streets, breakfast spots, and travel guides directly to your phone. Plus, there's a custom-made guidebook about Leshan's tourism and food in the room – such a thoughtful touch! For the kids, they provide complimentary children's slippers and dental kits. Our family room even had Little Yellow Duck kids' shampoo and body wash. The room is equipped with a coffee machine and a Bluetooth speaker. My kids absolutely loved calling out 'Xiaodu Xiaodu' to control the lights and curtains. The projector is an XGIMI, offering crystal clear resolution. The bedding is super comfortable; I checked, and it's a latex mattress. Even the hand soap dispenser is automatic! A small tip in the room mentions they offer complimentary children's pillows for kids under 10. I asked the front desk for one, and the height was perfect for our child, who was thrilled playing with building blocks. For our family of four, the 2-meter king bed was spacious enough for two adults and one child, and the smaller bed comfortably fit an older child. It didn't feel cramped at all! Waking up well-rested for a weekend of delicious food and exploration was incredibly satisfying!
We couldn't book the loft family room; it's so highly sought after you need to book it well in advance! Next time, I'll definitely reserve the loft much earlier. We had originally reserved the 'Yaori' room, but upon arrival, wanting to enjoy the city night view, we switched to the 'Jiaoyue' room, which has identical amenities. I had actually stayed in this very room last year too.
Finally, a special shout-out to the front desk staff – particularly the young lady who was so charming and sweet-natured. Providing such exceptional service is a major reason why I want to return and stay here again! In conclusion, you absolutely won't regret choosing this hotel when visiting Leshan!"
