Hongzhushan Hotels & Resorts Chanyi Shanju

The good: - the location is fantastic with lots of hiking nearby and easy to get to the buses for Mt. Emei - the staff are very friendly The bad: - the hotel is definitely looking tired and dated: chipped woodwork in the rooms, flaking paint on the balcony. - only one of the many bars is open. Everytime we wanted to order something we were shown a huge menu, only to then be told most things were not available - this included wines, beers and food. - the hotel was incredibly quiet with the restaurant and bar being completely empty most of the time we were there. Whilst not the hotel’s fault, it dead mean a complete lack of atmosphere. - various items were listed as included when booking with Trip.com - none of them were available or in fact included. - when advise was needed from reception: the information given was often not accurate. The staff were wonderfully friendly, they just did not seem to have accurate information or to check it. Overall: this was the most expensive hotel booked during my three week tour of China and the most disappointing. I would unfortunately not recommend, especially in low season.

Beautiful design, serene atmosphere, wonderful smell of fresh lilies. The hot spring in the room and the forest view with jungle sounds were amazing. Nice breakfast. The pool experience is better in the afternoon due to forest views and no people. The pool is big oval, and serene, no plastic separators. Unfortunately the pool and the gym are closed in the morning and the gym's air con was broken. Nice staff, but little English is spoken.

Beautiful and calm. Just didnt have enough time to enjoy all the facilities..
