I wish to do a fair review of my B&B stay at Emeishan.
Service was spectacular.
1) The hotel provides free pick-up and drop-off services from Emeishan Station (not to be confused with Emei Station), about 7-8 mins drive from the hotel. I communicated via WeChat which trains I would be on and let them know that my 1st train arrival was actually so that I could drop off my large suitcase at their place, before going backwards to Leshan for half a day, and then returning to Emeishan in the evening. Not only did they agree to send someone to the train station to pick-up, they agreed to pick up only my luggage without me needing to accompany. So I could add an additional hour to my Leshan trip. Then they came to the train station a 2nd time in the evening to pick me back to the hotel.
2) The hotel replies very very quickly on WeChat, as if monitoring it all the time.
3) The hotel could arrange ticket purchase of a show, Only Emeishan, at a price lower than what you find on the official website.
4) The hotel even left the suitcase in my room before my arrival.
5) When I told the hotel to skip preparing my breakfast as I was starting off at 7am the next day to go Emeishan (breakfast is 7.30am at the hotel), they offered to put some items into a plastic box for me to take along.
5-star service in terms of making arrangements!
They gave me a really large room, and I never used the bathtub with the bath herbs, but am thankful for the upgrade. Loved it that they gave 1 gigantic bottle of water and 2 smaller ones, showing their care for pple intending to climb Emeishan.
Please don't expect too much from what they call "Afternoon Tea" included in your package. It is merely a small tray of dried/fresh fruit, so it wouldn't form a meal.
But I would not be fair to readers of reviews if I didn't give a balanced review.
a) The hardware is a bit tired. The wooden planks in the shower room are blackish, and there are water marks on the stone in the bathroom.
b) The power sockets are not at good locations. They are at the lower parts of a wall at a random spot and nothing near the bedside.
c) The lights in the room are not well-positioned.
d) There was an empty bottle below the wardrobe area when I first entered the room, which was missed even on the 2nd day.
e) As I'm not familiar with Emeishan, I also didn't know that 黄湾 area is not exactly the main activity area in Emeishan. That said, the hotel is a 5-7 min walk from the 黄湾 entrance/exit to Emeishan. I believe the Baoguo Temple entrance/exit would be more popular. There are several restaurants around the restaurant but the vast majority appear closed or are not occupied, so it doesn't feel very lively, whether day or night.
All in all, I would still recommend this hotel as they are family owned and run. The whole family depends on your support. Support local small business and give them a chance.

Absolutely amazing service! Staff were all very friendly, welcoming and eager to help. Very convenient pick up and drop off at the high speed railway station. The room was clean and comfortable. Location is a very short walk to entrance to Mount Emei. Breakfast was a good portion. Staff at breakfast was also very nice and friendly. We will definitely stay at this place again if we come to visit Mount Emei.

Love this place so much! It’s very spacious and the people here are really nice and helpful! Do recommend if you are planning to head up to Er Mei Shan ( 峨眉山 ). The visitor center is just 3-5min walk from the hotel and it’s super convenient~ Their breakfast was good too! You can request for noodles if you want 😉

Good location, close to the bus that goes to the Emei Mountain. There are several good restaurants closed to the hotel.

The hotel is located next to the Huangwan Visitor Center of Mount Emei, about a 5-minute walk to the visitor center. It is very convenient for dining and traveling around the hotel.

Fetched us from the railway station even though is late night and the staff were all very friendly. Location is good if only traveling to the mountain. Breakfast is simple and clean. But good Mountain View.
Response from Property: Thank you for your review of our hotel. Meeting is a kind of fate. We look forward to our next meeting. I wish you and your family a happy trip!

The hotel is an easy walk to the Emei Mountain visitor center. The rooms are very nice. The breakfast was great. The staff at front desk were very helpful. We even got a free ride to the train station to catch our train. I highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing stay at this hotel! It is gorgeous, right at the food of Emeishan where busses pick you up. I was picked up and dropped off from and train station, there was free tea service with snacks, and breakfast was hearty. They staff was also friendly and facilities clean and working well. Cannot recommend it highly enough! Loved my stay here.

An Exceptional Hidden Gem
Location is a short walk to the Huangwan Tourist Centre, the closest bus depot/stop before you start your journey up the mountain.
I stayed twice, 2 nights each, before and after my sojourn up to the up. Why? Because of the little things. It just felt lwarm and comfortable. Things you feel beyond the hardware, which has been very well looked after despite of the 3 year lull of COVID. It is the warmth of sincere greetings always.
The thoughtful attention to little details are so many, but I shall just list a few.
They have a Chinese tea set in the room, when they see you used it, they upsize the bottled water which by the way is deliberately sourced from a local spring, even though it is by a big brand.
Breakfast is a Chinese style set tray, most all ingredients are sourced locally. Very presentable. They will gladly replenish whatever you like. The soya milk is freshly made, rich and thick.
Because of my dietary restrictions, I just took the eggs and little pickles the 1st morning, with almost a whole jug of soya milk, the wait staff asked if everything was alright and duly came back with extra eggs. The next morning, they asked if I wanted the same, and had it on standby. On my return stay, the front desk asked if I would like anything else for breakfast, I was obviously impressed that the details of my stay was fed back to the front desk. This is what personalized service is about and where it starts. The minute I entered my room, there was the upsized bottle of water.
The hardware you can read elsewhere. It leans more to modern zen. Special mention must be made about the bedsheets, I only noticed a few nights later how much of a higher grade it is compared to most internationally. Little insider secret : they have a few husk filled pillows in oversized pillow cases which allows you to shape to your preferred height and thickness.
OK! Complain time. There is no in-house hot spring, something nice after the mountain, yet I forewent it just because, for my return stay. The complex they are in is quite destitute, most units are vacant. Restaurants are there but.... So quiet and peaceful it definitely is.
A truly underrated hidden gem of a B&B.
I seldom write reviews except for the 1s and 10s.
Response from Property: Dear foreign friends, thank you for your five-star praise. Your support and encouragement are the driving force for our progress. You are welcome to come back at any time, and I wish you a happy life and a smile!

The hotel is very close to the Huangwan Visitor Center. It is a very quaint hotel and very comfortable. The service is very good. They contacted me in advance to confirm the pick-up and drop-off information. The service is meticulous. The room type is the kind of tatami. The overall room is very large. The breakfast is a set meal but it is rich and very filling. The front desk lady will ask if you want to buy tickets and other information about going to Mount Emei. At the same time, the things that fell into the room were also carefully helped to find them. Good reviews, and the related services provided by WeChat are also great! I like this type of hotel very much! I will recommend it to my friends next time. Thank you for the meticulous service of the hotel staff!

The store will call to confirm the high-speed rail time one day in advance, and will come to pick you up directly at that time. When you leave, you will be sent directly to the high-speed rail station. The service attitude of the front desk lady is very good. The room is very clean, and the overall design of the hotel is also very beautiful. It takes only a few minutes to walk out of the hotel to the bus stop for going up the mountain, which is very convenient for friends who want to climb Mount Emei. The overall feeling is very good, and I will book it next time☺
