3-Star Hotels in Deqin

The room with a view was great! When we arrived in the afternoon, the snow-capped mountains were incredibly clear, and the balcony was perfect for taking photos. There was plenty of closet space for our luggage, and even a thoughtful clothesline. The bread on the first floor was delicious. The front desk staff were all very kind. It would be even more perfect if parking were a bit more convenient.

The view from the room's window was absolutely stunning! It was my first time staying in a room with such a large floor-to-ceiling window, directly facing the snow-capped mountains outside. The two double beds were huge, and the room was so spacious it almost felt a bit empty, hahaha. The cloud conditions outside the window gave a good indication of the cloud cover at Feilai Temple, which was both beautiful and convenient. Traveling to and from the hotel from Shangri-La using Diqing Transportation was very easy, as the hotel is only about 100-200 meters from their bus stop. The owner was incredibly kind. When we left, it was raining, and even though it was a short distance, he still drove us. The hotel also has a restaurant on the first floor. The chef is amazing, hailing from Dujiangyan, Sichuan, with over a decade of experience. The Sichuan cuisine is incredibly authentic and can be made mildly spicy. It was super delicious, perfectly blending local Deqin ingredients like yak meat and ******* pork. The fragrant Sichuan dishes truly relieved my travel fatigue. A big thank you to the chef!

This place is truly excellent. I had to change my booking date last minute, and the owner was incredibly helpful in coordinating it and even upgraded our room. The location is superb, offering similar views to the luxury hotels nearby, making it fantastic value for money. It's right at the entrance, and the auntie who cooks is lovely; she even prepared our meal early because we were in a hurry to leave for Shenhu Lake. Plus, there are free foot-soaking tubs. All in all, highly recommended!

I traveled thousands of miles to Deqin just to witness the majestic beauty of the snow-capped mountains 🏔. I'm so glad I booked a room with a snow view at this hotel. It was a very cost-effective choice for a solo traveler. When it's time to enjoy life, you should go for it; you only live once. Let this brief freedom be a seasoning for an ordinary life, giving yourself the courage for a better one. The hotel service was excellent; everyone was very attentive to me since I was traveling alone, and they even gave me a small ornament when I left. The room was spacious and elegant, very comfortable to stay in. The diffused oxygen supply also worked well, although I tend to get nervous easily and still went to the hospital to breathe some oxygen for a while. Actually, there's no need to be too afraid of altitude sickness; most symptoms can be relieved at the hospital. Most importantly, the hotel's 5th-floor observation deck is fantastic. You don't need to crowd with people at the Wunongding viewpoint. I left my camera at the hotel to shoot a time-lapse and went to take some portraits. Plus, watching the starry sky and waiting for the sunrise with friends from all corners of the world at the hotel was truly a romantic experience. Finally, regarding the mountain views, this was a completely successful trip. From sunset to high noon, I was honored to witness the diverse charm of Meili Snow Mountain. On the first evening, as the vehicle drove out of National Highway 214, I caught sight of the thirteen peaks of Meili. Clouds drifted slowly, and the sun gradually set. Soon after, the Milky Way hung low above Mt. Miancimu, and Comet Lemmon descended towards Mt. Bawu Bameng, creating a starry night. Under the stars, the Winter Triangle appeared even more captivating, adorned with the Taurus meteor shower, making the night sky seem like a dream. As night deepened and the moon rose, the crescent moon stubbornly illuminated the snow-capped mountains, casting a faint pearly white glow. Until dawn, the sky transformed from blue to pink, heralding the arrival of a new day. At daybreak, the first ray of sunlight illuminated the peak of Kawagarbo, and the legendary 'Sunlight on Golden Mountain' passionately displayed Meili's grandeur. Once the golden light covered all thirteen peaks, the contours of the snow mountain were clearly outlined, and the most beautiful snow mountain finally revealed its perfect form. The mountain doesn't speak, but people have wishes; Meili just stands quietly, inspiring endless imagination. After the crowds receded, the snow mountain returned to its pristine white, and strolling through Wunongding, watching the mountains, listening to the wind, and playing with cats, offered another kind of pleasure. People say that seeing the 'Sunlight on Golden Mountain' brings good luck for the whole year. A year is too long; I only know that at this moment, I have captured the happiness of life.

Cleanliness is alright - not dirty but not the super sanitized vibes. the place is quite old as well. The bed was very soft and fluffy and comfy actually :) Location wise on upper yubeng - it is a 10min walk to the entrance of the ice lake hike. people are usually there for the hike to ice lake! Also the walk from lower to upper yubeng is currently (June 2026) filled with construction, it would be nice to find a way to get a car up. we walked from lower to upper and the dust and incline was not an inspiring combination! Service is great! the ladies are very kind and hospitable. they gave us a bigger room since it was not peak tourist season. THE VIEW is AMAZING and worth it!!! As compared to other hotels we have experienced on our Yunnan trip, this space does not provide a humidifier or body lotion which comes in very handy on dry days!

Had a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful. The front desk even upgraded our room and included breakfast. The owner personally brought an oxygen tube to our room. We had a great view of the snow-capped mountains, and there's a restaurant and shops conveniently located downstairs.

The room was cozy, clean, and comfortable, with a tasteful decor throughout. The underfloor heating and diffused oxygen supply meant we didn't have to worry about altitude sickness at all. The staff were warm and friendly! There's also a cafe and an observation deck on the top floor where you can see Baima Snow Mountain and Feilai Temple. The afternoon sun was perfect for photos, and the scenery was absolutely stunning! The hotel's location isn't far from the Meili Snow Mountain observation deck, so transportation is very convenient. There's a snack street near the Feilai Temple observation deck, and watching the snow-capped mountains in the evening is beautiful—highly recommended! The hotel's restaurant is on the first floor, which is super convenient if you don't feel like going out in the cold.

Getting to the hotel requires turning off National Highway 214 onto a village road, which was completely dark at night. At that moment, I regretted booking this place. However, after driving down that small road for about 5 minutes, we finally arrived, and I immediately felt that my choice was actually a good one. Once we entered the room, my worries completely disappeared! The room felt like a 4-star standard and, thankfully, was smoke-free. Even better, each room had a copy of the 'Brief Introduction to Diqing Prefecture,' a very professional, detailed, and comprehensive book that helps you quickly and systematically understand the area. The hotel restaurant's food was good (though a bit salty for us southerners). The prices weren't cheap, around 50 RMB per person, but given the generous portions, I wouldn't say it was expensive. The main benefit was not having to go out to eat, which saved time and effort. The hotel's environment and ambiance were perfect; it truly felt like a manor. I heard it used to be a vineyard that later upgraded to tourism services. Because it's far from the town and main road, it's incredibly quiet, and you can even see the peak of Meili Snow Mountain directly from here.

We arrived in the evening and had dinner in the guesthouse's restaurant. The owner treated us to a delicious local wine. Our room offered a direct view of the snow-capped mountains, unlike the view at Feilai Temple, where the peaks were much closer. The next day, at sunrise, we could watch the sun set over the Golden Mountain from our room. There's also a viewing platform on the first floor, offering unobstructed views of the stars and the snow-capped mountains. The owner warmly invited us to dinner at her sister's home. The cooking was excellent and delicious! It also allowed us to experience ******* culture. The owner's daughter was adorable, not shy at all, and constantly entertained us. It snowed heavily the day we left, but thanks to the owner's guidance on a safe route, we arrived safely in Shangri-La. If I ever visit Meili Snow Mountain again, I'll definitely stay at this hotel.

Since it's a temporary stop for hikers going to Upper Yubeng, the hygiene could definitely be improved. The soundproofing isn't great, but it was surprisingly quiet at night when everyone was asleep – probably because they were all exhausted. The facilities were fine, and it wasn't cold at night. The best part is that the accommodation is very close to the Ice Lake entrance, which is super convenient.
