I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The hotel provides a shuttle service to Shangri-La Railway Station, but you need to inform the hotel at least one day before arrival. The staff were very attentive and helpful, so there’s no need to worry about not speaking Chinese. Upon arrival, the staff will add you on WeChat, and there are 5 admins who respond quickly and assist with any questions. The hotel has an oxygen machine and a humidifier. The room was clean and fully equipped with amenities. Before departure, the staff proactively asked what time I wanted to be dropped off at the railway station. I loved the atmosphere, the beautiful view, and the food ordered from the hotel was reasonably priced. The Yangzhou fried rice and stir-fried pork were delicious. On the day of departure, which was New Year’s Day, the hotel gave out tasty cookies. I will definitely stay here again if I have the chance.
我在这家酒店住了两晚。酒店提供前往香格里拉火车站的接送服务,但需要在到达前一天通知酒店。工作人员非常细心、乐于帮助,所以不用担心不会说中文。到达后,工作人员会加你的微信,有5位管理员一起回答问题,回复非常快。酒店配有氧气机和加湿器。房间干净,设施齐全。离店前,工作人员会提前询问你希望几点送到火车站。我很喜欢这里的氛围,风景很美,从酒店加点的食物价格也不贵。扬州炒饭和炒猪肉非常好吃。离店当天正好是新年,酒店还赠送了美味的饼干。我一定会再来入住。
OOlive GohWhen I started planning our itinerary for our 15 day Yunnan holiday, I plotted out our path to go all the way up to Shangri-la, back down to Kunming and then to Jiaozi Snow Mountain and Dongchuan Red Land. Then I chanced upon a video of Aini Garden and fell in love! The only reason we came to Pu'er was to get to Aini. This was the first place I booked, and I really took a chance because it has a no cancellation policy and I really had to stick to the date once it was made.
The initial pre-arrival experience was less than pleasant. I didn't know how we were going to get to the manor and my WeChat messages went unanswered. The hotel we stayed at in Pu'er finally got in touch with someone and got them to message me. I asked how we could get there and the answer was a curt ”take a taxi or charter a car”. No pleasantries of ”we look forward to seeing you” or offering to arrange a car.
When we arrived, no one was at reception and no one came out. Our driver was so perplexed he wondered if we were in the right place and if the place was open. Finally a young girl came out and registered us in. There was an air of aloofness from everyone else. However, once we were checked in, things warmed up quickly. We were offered coffee and freshly cut papaya and had a nice introduction chat with the lady staff.
The bedroom and bathroom is well appointed, spacious and comfortable. We would have enjoyed sitting on the balcony if the chairs were more comfortable. I love the floor to ceiling glass windows but the panel above the door should also be glass (it is just netting) so traffic sounds from the road actually comes through at night. I actually wanted to book the cottage in the hills but opted for the standard room in the main house because I was worried it would be cold. Big regret as it is actually magnificently located with stunning views. However take note that you will need to call for a buggy ride or make a 1km hike every time you want to eat or get to the main house. If you are self driving, no issues as you can park right next to the cottage. Anyway it's a small price to pay for an unlimited view of the milky way and seclusion.
This is as close to a Ryokan experience as you can get in China, minus the hot springs. 3 days 2 nights of blissful, carefree living is not quite enough. They make sure they feed you well, with the freshest produce available for hotpot dinner and home-cooked Yunnanese dishes for lunch. There are so many activities organised, from taking you up the mountain for a glimpse of sunrise (with mountain goats for company ❤️) to coffee plantation education tour to horseback riding along the mountain ridges (the view is spectacular!) to scavenging for wild vegetables and fruits to drinking, dancing and singing around the campfire! So much to do, so little time!
One area of improvement I personally would like to see is the coffee serving. They tend to be quite snobbish about how their coffee is taken. Neat, with nothing else. Asking for sugar or milk feels nearly scorned upon. Coffee is a versatile drink and can be savoured in a huge variety of ways. How else is Starbucks so successful? I felt kind of stifled and deprived because I love a good latte and had looked forward to enjoying an unlimited indulgence of coffee throughout our stay.
Anyhow, I love the ecotourism efforts here. It feels natural and unpretentious. I love the people and the camaraderie they cultivate. I especially enjoyed talking to their consultant 敬梅, a beautiful lady with extensive knowledge in Yunnan culture and ecological progress. Also thank you to 徐芳 for arranging transport back to town and giving helpful recommendations. We hope to return again.
