5-Star Hotels in Luoyang

This hotel is excellent, truly deserving its place on this year's Black Pearl Guide. It's perfectly located right outside the main entrance of the Longmen Grottoes, just a few minutes' walk to the scenic area, and very convenient for reaching the high-speed train station or the city center. The surrounding area features Longmen Ancient Street, offering plenty of dining and shopping options. The hotel itself has a fantastic design, making it very photogenic. What's even better is the attractive price – the value for money is outstanding; I doubt you'll find a better deal on the entire Black Pearl list.

This hotel was the best choice for our May Day trip to Luoyang! It's right in the heart of the old town, making it convenient to go anywhere. The attentive service was incredibly satisfying! This is truly the 'Pang Dong Lai' (a well-known, high-quality department store) of high-end hotels – the experience was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend all hotels across the country learn from and emulate this one! First off, they offer free pick-up and drop-off from the station! Even if the driver was temporarily unavailable, the hotel would help arrange a taxi and cover the cost. These little details really won me over! The room was super spacious, bright, and didn't feel cramped. The bedding was thoughtfully chosen, and you could even select your own pillow to suit different sleeping preferences – I relaxed instantly as soon as I lay down! Although the facilities are a little old, it didn't affect the experience at all. It was clean, tidy, and well-maintained, with great attention to detail. Any minor flaws were completely negligible. The breakfast was truly eye-opening, a proper Luoyang food feast! Authentic beef soup was available to our heart's content, and all local specialty snacks were covered. They even had fresh salmon of good quality. It was a perfect blend of Chinese and Western cuisine, offering incredible value for money – you could spend hours just enjoying breakfast! During our stay, we could also order complimentary snacks, pastries, and drinks. They provided warm hospitality and food throughout the day, so we could eat to our heart's content without even leaving the hotel! The staff were gentle and patient, always responsive, and we felt completely pampered throughout our stay. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Luoyang! I sincerely recommend it!

This hotel is simply fantastic! First off, the service was impeccable. I booked an airport transfer, and they had someone waiting for me right on time. There was even a thoughtful welcome gift 🎁. Check-in was super quick and easy, and the front desk staff, a lovely young lady, was incredibly warm and attentive. She even upgraded me to a wonderful room with a balcony that offered stunning lake views – bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and towers, all surrounded by lush greenery. The Chinese garden design is absolutely beautiful, making it a perfect spot for a vacation. The room itself was well-equipped, comfortable, spacious, and bright, with a grand, luxurious, and exquisite decor. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip! Welcome fruit: Loved it! Shuttle service: 👍 Facilities: High-end and luxurious

Every year I go to Laojun Mountain, and every year I stay here. It's not just a habit, it's a sense of comfort. There aren't many high-end hotels near Laojun Mountain, and while Yishuiwan Hotel is a bit older, its foundation as a high-end hotel is still there. The service is impeccable, but the rooms are indeed a bit dated. Breakfast is important to me, and that's an area that should probably be upgraded a bit.

I LOVE the zen vibes and decor of this hotel. The amenities from the book bar to the mini theatre were excellent and perfect for a relaxing chilled staycation. The hotel went above and beyond to take care of our needs and comfort. The hotel staff were all friendly and professional. We were extremely impressed by their attentiveness, especially by Hon, the chief concierge. He prepared water for us before a sightseeing trip and gave us good advice on which exit to get to, time spent etc. The restaurant at the hotel was also very good!! We love Cantonese food and even more so when it is done WELL. A fancy hotel is easy to come by if one pays for it but a great service that goes beyond your expectations is very hard to come by. Great value overall, comfortable, extremely relaxing and impressionable stay.

This hotel seems to be hyped up by bloggers, attracting a lot of visitors. Here's our experience after a two-night stay: **Pros:** The train pick-up service was really thoughtful, and overall, the service was quite good – they were generally responsive to our requests. **Suggestions:** 1. **The 'order every four hours' gimmick:** This is one order per room every four hours. You have to order *all* the listed free items at once; if you order separately, it doesn't count towards the four-hour rule. Each personalized order can have a maximum of 21 items, with no more than 3 of any single item. However, if you want to order the same thing twice, for example, I ordered three slices of watermelon twice because I liked it, but only one portion arrived. Even if you order 21 items, the system doesn't show an order summary, so you can't verify it. I definitely didn't receive 21 items. Personally, I think this 'gimmick' is just a way to make guests feel like they're getting something extra when they're not, and you don't truly get what you order. My suggestion is to scrap this service altogether. Just provide welcome fruits and meals for each room. There's no point in raising guest expectations only to then set up various small hurdles. 2. **The 90-degree bows from staff at the elevator:** This is honestly unnecessary. I think a polite bow when seeing guests off would be perfectly sufficient.

Few reviews... 1. No children's slippers or toiletries. 2. The phone was unreachable. I had to walk downstairs twice because I couldn't stand it anymore. I finally found out I had to dial 6666. There were no signs or notices in the room. 3. No low pillows or thin blankets. The room was hot. The front desk told me to sleep with the window open, but I had no choice. I asked for a few bath towels to make do for the night, and they only brought them after I asked twice. 4. There was no refrigeration in the room. I ended up putting the items that needed refrigeration back in the car. Overall, the price and quality didn't match. It's around 700-800 yuan, after all. The quality isn't as good as most high-end hotels, let alone luxury ones. Judging from the banners and resource allocation, it's easy to tell what kind of hotel it is and what kind of business it does. It's not suitable for individuals or families. It might be worth considering for conferences or relaxation. By the way, the kids also had to pay an extra 48 yuan for breakfast, which is quite unusual. I didn't even bother arguing with them.

This stay at the Friendship Hotel definitely deserves a good review. The front desk service was thoughtful, warm, and attentive, offering tea and towels. Check-in was efficient and swift, and my needs were promptly met. A special shout-out to Guo Xiaodan at the front desk, who was genuinely warm, friendly, and professional. She patiently recommended local delicacies and nearby tourist attractions, which I really appreciated. The hotel environment is quiet and elegant, the rooms are clean and tidy, and the bedding is comfortable and cozy. The ventilation and lighting are good, and the location is convenient for getting around, with a subway station right outside. The complimentary late-night noodle soup was a unique touch. Overall, I am extremely satisfied; my stay experience was fantastic! I look forward to visiting Luoyang again. I haven't tried on Hanfu yet, so I definitely will next time!

Several friends highly recommended we stay here if we were visiting Longmen Grottoes. I'm glad I listened to their advice, because their taste is excellent! The hotel is located on East Mountain, facing the Longmen Grottoes on West Mountain across the river. You can even see some of the grottoes from the rooftop terrace of Building 5. The hotel is right next to Xiangshan Temple and surrounds Bai Garden, offering beautiful scenery at every turn. The service is also excellent. You can book an electric shuttle at the front desk to take you to the East Gate of the Grottoes, then walk or take another shuttle to the Northwest Gate ticket office. After exploring the Grottoes and Bai Garden, it's just a short walk back to the hotel. The room type we booked even included a free send-off service to the station, which was very convenient. While the decor might be a little dated, the facilities are complete. It's clean and hygienic, with welcome fruit and complimentary snacks and drinks. The breakfast offers a wide variety of dishes, all rich and delicious, though the coffee was really not good, haha. We had lunch in the banquet hall, using a BOGO deal from Ctrip for two people, and the portion sizes were incredibly generous and tasty! Upon check-in, we received a voucher for the tea room on the upper floor's terrace. Enjoying tea and a book there was incredibly pleasant! The lady working at the tea room provided amazing service. Overall, I highly recommend it!
