Yingde Hotels with Pools

This B&B experience was absolutely fantastic! The staff were incredibly kind and polite throughout our stay, and their warm, attentive welcome made us feel right at home. They were always quick to respond to any requests, and even went out of their way to help us pick loquats and lend us an umbrella – such thoughtful touches! The specialty restaurant next door (Moshang Xiaochu) was so good we ate there three times in a row; the local dishes were authentic and absolutely delicious, making it super convenient for meals. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the quiet, serene environment was incredibly relaxing. It offers great value for money, making our trip easy and worry-free in terms of both accommodation and dining. We'll definitely choose this place again next time we visit, highly recommended!

A peaceful, tastefully designed, family-run retreat with helpful staff, great food, and plenty of local wildlife—plus easy access to nearby attractions but limited nearby conveniences. Had a great stay at this hotel as a peaceful escape from the city. The aesthetic is tasteful and looks beautiful throughout the property—it feels intentionally designed rather than like tacky Instagram photo spots like in many Chinese hotels/tourist spots. The staff were all very helpful and attentive, especially Mia, who was able to assist us in English. The hotel is family-run, and they do an excellent job making you feel welcome and well taken care of. Breakfast and dinner were consistently delicious, with simple, well-prepared food. There isn’t much around the hotel itself, but it’s not too far to visit Yingxi Fenglin and Dongtian. We also booked a guide who took us hiking in the nearby mountains. The train station is about a 30-minute drive away, so don’t expect easy or quick access to Didi. Most other guests seem to be on short stays with their pets, so you should expect lots of animals on the property. We loved meeting all the cats!

The hotel of choice for business trips to Yingde, with large rooms and very enthusiastic and proactive staff! There are welcome fruits 🍊 and evening desserts, just right for replenishing the stomach after drinking. Especially the staff Ms. Huang Wenxia and the manager on duty, they were very considerate and made us feel really at home! The night view outside the hotel is also beautiful. Hope to continue the good service!

The children had a great time

The guesthouse in the village is nestled amidst beautiful scenery. The owners are very friendly, and the breakfast is plentiful, thoughtful, and very local. You can see a sea of ​​clouds just by opening the curtains in the morning. The bedding is also nice. While it can't compare to a five-star hotel, it's still very comfortable. Of course, it's even better value for money on weekdays.

This award-winning guesthouse was recommended by a design industry veteran, but the road leading to it is quite challenging. I honestly wouldn't recommend it for women; it's even nicknamed Guangdong's Initial D mountain pass. Our room initially had a minor repair issue, so the front desk offered a free upgrade. After checking out the upgraded room, we decided to stick with our original booking as it had a larger yard and the room itself was very spacious, almost a bit empty – a deliberate design choice, I imagine. The design, despite being a decade old, has really stood the test of time, maintaining a simple yet authentic feel. The exterior wood looks quite weathered, but the interior is well-maintained. Designers often appreciate this aged aesthetic; solid wood is actually the most expensive material, costing several times more than the glossy decorative panels often found in more common, 'pretty' designs. However, it's not universally appealing, especially with Guangdong's frequent rain making maintenance difficult. If you're looking for a delicate, refined aesthetic, I wouldn't recommend it. The food in the mountains was just okay, and for such a remote location, the price wasn't overly expensive. The next day, passing through the town, prices were similar, likely due to it being a tourist area. The next morning, looking out, I started to appreciate the spacious design – its advantage truly shone through. It was incredibly relaxing, and I began to feel a subtle difference. This is what's meant by the luxury of large spaces being the most valuable kind of luxury. Now, staying in a small, cramped hotel room feels completely different. There's a small private pool that's good for kids. The water quality is incredibly smooth. The front desk mentioned that the water for brewing tea in the room comes from a natural spring sourced from the valley behind the mountain, just like the pool water. The staff told us that a top Chinese tea master once insisted on using this raw spring water for brewing a multi-million dollar pu-erh tea cake, refusing even filtered water, claiming it was the second best water quality in Guangdong. The tea tasted excellent, and hearing about the water quality, I asked the manager for a large bottle. Due to the room repair, they also gave us a complimentary bag of tea. After returning to Guangzhou and brewing a pot, if they hadn't warned me beforehand, I would have thought the tea was a rip-off. The difference was indeed huge. Using their old testing pen, the data discrepancy was astonishing. The distant mountain views are incredible, but there were quite a few mosquitoes. They should spray more insecticide when there aren't many guests. Also, there aren't many amenities. There's a tea house not too far away on the mountainside where you can pass the time. It's not crowded, and when no one's around, it has a wonderful atmosphere. The higher you go, the better the view. Overall, everything was quite good, and for a semi-wooden cabin, the hygiene was also excellent. I'll definitely come back next time, but I really need to remember to bring a few buckets with me.

Qian Gu Yun She Resort, Yingxi Peak Forest, Yingde, Qingyuan, Guangdong. Stay amidst a picturesque landscape, enjoy hot spring pools and a mountain spring swimming pool, nestled in a tranquil valley surrounded by peaks and forests—a natural oxygen bar with beautiful mountains and clear waters, birdsong and fragrant flowers!

The hotel is a bit dated with old facilities. The bathroom and room showed signs of mold everywhere. The hot water was inconsistent, and the water pressure was low. The bathroom door only had two small hooks; I suggest adding two more, as you need at least four or five to hang clothes and towels. There's only one stool in the room, so if three or four people are staying, the others would have to sit or lie on the bed for extended periods. The room could use two chairs and a small round table. I'm not sure if the TV was unplugged by the hotel, but it took a while to realize it wasn't plugged in. Perhaps not many people watch TV these days anyway. On the plus side, the balcony has a drying rack, and there are just enough hangers. The restaurant was a huge surprise – for such a large, somewhat upscale hotel, the restaurant looked like a rustic farmhouse, small and old, really bringing down the hotel's image. The breakfast variety was decent, about average. A unique feature is the swimming channels surrounding the hotel's accommodation area; the water quality was clean, and it wasn't cold in this weather. There were quite a few lifeguards, but they seemed more like decorations, a bit excessive, especially since the water in the channels is only about one meter deep. However, I guess without them, guests might blame the hotel if something happens. The hot spring area had fish therapy, hot pools, and a sauna. I spent about ten minutes in the sauna, which was quite refreshing. What I liked most was the staff's service attitude. Every staff member I interacted with was polite, answered all my questions, and resolved any issues, which is commendable. However, I strongly recommend that the hotel refurbish its essential facilities. After all, a standard room costs 700-800 yuan, and guests should feel like they're getting their money's worth for that price.

The room was clean but damp, equipped with an electric blanket to combat the humidity. It was quite small, and the bathroom was even smaller. The Wi-Fi signal was poor, and even when connected in the room, a stable data connection could not be guaranteed. The hot spring water temperature was on the lower side, making it suitable for children; however, the hot spring area is located quite high up, which can be a bit strenuous for elderly guests with mobility issues.

The service here, from the front desk to the guest rooms, was incredibly warm and attentive. They actively helped with luggage and patiently explained the hotel facilities, making us feel right at home. The hotel is surrounded by lush greenery, and the air is exceptionally fresh, full of negative ions. It's only a 5-minute walk from the hotel to the hot spring area. Soaking in the warm spring water while breathing in the negative-ion-rich air just melts away all the fatigue and stress – it's incredibly therapeutic! Overall, the service is excellent, the environment is fantastic, the facilities are comprehensive, and the hot springs are conveniently close. It's perfect for family trips or vacations with friends. We're already planning our next visit!
