Independent Yinxing hotels

"Rooms are large, well furnished and very clean. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, although I think might not have english speaking staff member that you might find in a large chain hotel. Food is all made by the onsite chef, and while a bit limited in choice, is very tasty and not too expensive. The only potential downside is that as a retreat type property, it isn't located in the nearby city. If you drove in your own car or rented car, then no issue. But the only easily walkable local attraction is the adjacent Giant Panda preserve, which was very nice, if not nearly as massive as the main panda attraction in Chengdu. If you do not have your own transport, you would need to use ride hailing, which works well enough, however note that unlike in the cities, if you want to hail one of the big 6 passenger vans, it might be difficult. But hailing regular sedan type Didi cars is easy enough to get you into town for any site-seeing (such as the nearby Dujiangyan or Mt. Qingchen) or dining needs."

"Stay was generally good except for a couple of service related incidents eg i asked front desk to make a reservation for us one evening and the person asked me to book myself. When i showed the restaurant name on my mobile app, the person tried to call the restaurant directly on my mobile without asking me. "

"Really good option in the centre of Dujiangyan, very easy to walk to all the main sites from here but it off the main road so was quiet. Room was large with plenty of space for luggage and bed was very comfortable. Seemed a popular hotel for tour-bus groups, so was busy first thing and early evening when they were departing/arriving, but staff very efficient in managing the large groups of people. Has restaurants, shops and convenience stores all nearby. Would definitely stay again."

"Staffs are not friendly. We feel we been watched 24 hours. We have to go outside to speak. It is absolutely the worst experience of traveling. "
