Rezen Retreat · Four Seasons Manju Hotel (Jiuzhaigou Tourist Center)

This hotel is, in my opinion, the closest to the gully entrance, and it's absolutely fantastic. The rooms are clean, hygienic, and tidy. It was truly a delightful surprise during my stay in Jiuzhaigou. If you're coming to Jiuzhaigou, you definitely have to stay here. The front desk staff, especially the young lady, was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful, adding so many wonderful surprises to my trip. Thank you all! This is a must-stay hotel when visiting Jiuzhaigou.

This hotel boasts an excellent environment and is incredibly close to the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, just a few minutes' walk to the entrance. The room facilities are quite upscale, and the soundproofing is fantastic. Each room comes with underfloor heating, air conditioning, and a small tatami tea room. It was truly delightful to enjoy the underfloor heating, sip tea, and admire the snowy views from the window – perfect for a relaxing, slow-paced trip to Jiuzhai with family or friends. The hotel's ground floor lobby offers a spacious public area with complimentary tea, coffee, and pastries. The coffee quality, in particular, was surprisingly good! Additionally, the breakfast spread is extensive, and the staff are professional and provide excellent service. The hotel is also conveniently located near the shuttle bus pick-up point for direct service to both Jiuzhai and Songpan high-speed rail stations, just a 7-8 minute walk away. I highly recommend this high-value-for-money hotel for anyone traveling to Jiuzhai; its quality easily rivals five-star establishments.

The room was smaller than I expected, but the staff were very enthusiastic and attentive. The independent design of the small courtyard was unique and comfortable. The key highlight was its proximity to the scenic area, plus you could take a bath – after a long day, this was incredibly valuable! However, the breakfast was quite bad, and the only restaurant in the courtyard, even with an 18% discount, was also not good. The best food I had in Jiuzhaigou was actually at McDonald's. The 'King of Tibet Dance' area has many dining options and is also a bus drop-off point. Everyone can consider other hotels there, like the Hanting or Holiday Inn, which are only about 500 meters further away.

Super close to the scenic area's entrance, just a 5-minute walk. The restaurant in the courtyard serves delicious food until 10 PM. The front desk staff are incredibly gentle and welcoming, and the hot tea in the lobby was a real lifesaver in the cold weather. The room was clean, well-maintained, and had all the necessary amenities. Breakfast was plentiful.

This hotel is located right at the entrance of Jiuzhaigou, making it super convenient to walk there in about 5 minutes. The location is absolutely fantastic, especially for those driving. You can park your car at the hotel the night before, enjoy Jiuzhaigou during the day, and then drive off the following evening. The hotel facilities are relatively new. While the breakfast options aren't extensive, there's still enough to fill you up, and the service is pretty good. The only drawback is the soundproofing, which isn't great, especially in some of the rooms on the first floor.

Here's my review: **Location:** Since I visited during the off-season, the hotel kindly upgraded my room for free. First off, the hotel is incredibly close to Jiuzhaigou – it's only a 5-minute walk to the entrance of the scenic area in the morning. However, because it's so close to Jiuzhaigou, there aren't many dining options nearby. It's a bit of a walk to the town, so having a car would be more convenient. **Facilities:** The room itself was very new and equipped with smart home features. The TV was connected to the internet, which made casting and watching movies much easier. The room also had both floor heating and air conditioning, making it very comfortable. The bed and pillows were on the softer side; they felt quite sunken when I lay in the middle, so if you prefer a firm bed, this might not be for you. On a thoughtful note, the room came with complimentary snacks and drinks. It was also incredibly quiet at night. With the curtains drawn, it was pitch black – you couldn't see anything, making it very peaceful. **Breakfast & Amenities:** The hotel offers breakfast for 30 RMB per person. It's a standard breakfast, with yogurt, fruit, bread, noodles, and other common breakfast items. The hotel also has a gym and a public bath, though the gym doesn't have many facilities. **Service:** The service was excellent. The hotel staff were very patient and had a great attitude. I'd especially like to commend the housekeeping service – they were very thorough in restocking items and amenities, and they even tidied up my bedside table without disturbing any of my personal belongings. **Suggestions:** The floor heating isn't throughout the entire room. While they provided two pairs of disposable slippers, the area near the bathroom entrance had no floor heating. After a shower, wearing slippers meant they'd get wet and feel uncomfortable, but going barefoot was too cold. I suggest providing two pairs of slippers in the bathroom – one for wearing in the private hot spring (if applicable) and one for general use, which would make soaking more convenient. Also, with all the smart home features, there were quite a few remote controls. The floor heating made the bed very hot, which became increasingly uncomfortable as I slept. It would be helpful if guests were reminded about this, and perhaps the various remote controls could be labeled, as it was sometimes hard to tell which controlled what.

The room was incredibly spacious and comfortable, with a pleasant and quiet environment. It even had underfloor heating and a hot spring bath! The service was top-notch too; they proactively upgraded my room type. The staff were very thoughtful, calling guests in advance and even helping with luggage! Breakfast was plentiful, and the fruit was super fresh! Plus, it's only about an 8-minute walk directly to the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, and there are plenty of dining options nearby!
