Once Upon a Time in Meili

This hotel offers a great location to view the Meili Snow Mountains during the morning golden peak and also sunset (if you're lucky with the weather conditions). It is right next to the bus stop, which means it is very convenient if you are planning to catch an early morning bus (in our case). Rooms can be a bit pricey, but we know that we are essentially paying for the view. The food at the hotel is also tasty, I didn't need to go and look anywhere else for dinner and breakfast. I appreciated the great help that was provided by a staff named Xiao Wei. We arrived at the hotel when it was raining and wasn't expecting to see any mountain range in sight, but then the sky suddenly cleared up during the evening just shortly before sunset whilst we were having dinner and Xiao Wei came over to tell us to go and have a look at the snow mountain, which made our hearts rushed with joy. We also appreciated when Xiao Wei told us again during night time that the mountain range was visible so we quickly opened the curtain to treat ourselves with another fantastic view. The viewing platform on the top floor is a great location to see the sunrise and golden peak. I personally think it's even better viewing at the Feilai Temple platform that most tourists go to. On a final note, Xiao Wei again was very kind to help us by going to the bus platform at 8.30 AM in the morning to help us purchase the bus tickets from the driver (we couldn't do so as wechat pay didn't work for us). We were very happy with our stay here and got very lucky with some of the best views during our entire Yunnan trip. Thank you very much to Xiao Wei and the staff at Once Upon A Time in Meili :)

Location was optimal as we were able to see the Meili Snow Mountain through the balcony from our room, as well as going to the 5th floor viewing area. Fantastic accommodation with good views, good breakfast and they also provided binoculars in the room for the views. Staff were friendly and also helped to moved our luggage to our room using their cargo lift, overall a very comfortable stay 😃

location is best, you can cast sun rise ay hotel level 5, heating is enough and you won't feel cold when sleep or wash. only issue is no elevator, so pick low level rooms would be easier.

The accommodation is located across the road from the bus terminal (less then 3mins walk). It is simple, clean and comes with a balcony facing the Meili mountains. A simple breakfast was also served during the stay (after 7.30am) and there was sufficient time to catch the early bus for any journey onwards (e.g. 8am bus to Ninong Village for hike to Yubeng). Out of convenience, we also had dinner at the restaurant which serves nice Chinese food.

Great stay, great view from balcony to see the Meili mountain sunrise and sunset, although there is no lift but the staff will carry the luggages for you no matter how heavy is it, bravo! Superwomen!! Breakfast is nice too!!!

Excellent location to see the golden sunrise, from the room or from the hotel rooftop terrace. Simple good breakfast. Room is spacious and clean.
