Service: The butler contacted us a day before to confirm our arrival time. Since we were arriving late in the evening, they thoughtfully arranged for afternoon tea to be delivered to our room. We had two rooms booked for two nights, and they upgraded us to the Muyun King Room. Due to a sudden change in plans and a family emergency, we had to cancel one night, and the hotel staff handled the cancellation very smoothly.
Cleanliness: Very clean. Face towels and toilet seat covers were provided.
Environment: The hotel faces the Meili Snow Mountain directly. We enjoyed two days of the 'golden sun illuminating the mountain' and also saw a beautiful starry sky. Both our room and the terrace offered views of the snow-capped mountains.
Facilities: The humidifier, in-room heating, oxygen supply, and electric heater all worked great.

This was an absolutely unforgettable stay! The guesthouse is a reconstruction of the owner's original home, and I was immediately struck by its beauty upon entering: the Western-style staircase paired with ******* paintings was exquisite and beautiful! The rooms were even more beautiful and comfortable than the pictures showed, mainly due to the attention to detail, including the tea corner, the automatic sensor lights in the bathroom, and the copper sink. This guesthouse offers excellent value for money, comparable to well-known hotels costing nearly a thousand yuan. It's truly a hidden gem.
The guesthouse's large terrace is just a short distance above a bend in the Jinsha River, offering stunning views! I'll definitely stay here again on my next trip to Yunnan and Tibet!

Since we came from Yubeng Village and didn't rent a car, the hotel's location was indeed much more suitable for self-driving. Fortunately, the hotel accommodated these inconveniences.
The hotel was renovated from an abandoned elementary school, but the overall feel is like a designer's new creation. The amenities were excellent. In addition to the essentials, there was a tea table by the large window facing the mountains. The bed was large, and our room wasn't arranged side by side, but rather one side by one, which was quite unique and even involved a fight over it.
The laundry service was thoughtful, and they even delivered goodnight milk in the evening. I also commend the breakfast, which offered both Chinese and Western options. It was one of the most comfortable and freshest breakfasts I've had in Yunnan these past few days, and the Western dishes were very satisfying.
The hotel is located in a village group of only eight households, a quiet place with both activity and tranquility. The villagers are simple and shy, and after a walk, I joined them in circumambulating the Buddhist scriptures. Nearby are the Baima Snow Mountain, perfect for hiking, the Niding Line, perfect for children, and numerous wineries. The town itself is famous for the story of a French grandmother. Driving on your own is definitely more enjoyable, but mountain roads require some driving skills.
Time is limited, so I'll definitely make up for this regret next time I drive on my own.

Guest UserTraveling with my parents and kids, we stayed at Snow Mountain Awaken and found the facilities complete and the hygiene spotless. But the absolute best part was the unbeatable view of the snowy mountains – right outside our door! We were also very impressed with the buffet, the sweet soup and fruit in the evenings, and the snacks, not to mention the hotel's restaurant. The butler service was attentive throughout our stay, making our choice to stay at Snow Mountain Awaken feel incredibly smart. The hotel is very close to Feilai Temple Viewing Platform, so we often took strolls there. We also enjoyed sitting at the Snow Book Store in front of the hotel, reading, daydreaming, and gazing at the mountains – that's what travel is all about! A special shout-out to Potato, Jingang, and Niuniu – these three dogs are just adorable!

I really should take the time to write a proper review when I can.
Having stayed at well over a hundred (if not 200) top luxury hotels worldwide over the past 20-30 years, I'm absolutely qualified to comment on the standards and details of any hotel as a seasoned luxury hotel experience expert.
The Meli Patu Hotel is meticulously refined from head to toe! It's one of the very few luxury hotels that is even more stunning in real life than in its official website photos. Having seen everything from Paris, London to Dubai and the Maldives... aside from irreplaceable cultural landscapes, many overseas hotels costing 20,000-50,000 RMB a night are truly disappointing – I haven't experienced the 100,000+ RMB ones, so I won't comment on those. For a few thousand RMB, Patu offers rooms equipped with B&O sound systems, coupled with the breathtaking views outside the window. No wonder Chinese travelers are becoming less keen on overseas trips!
In such a challenging and resource-scarce high-altitude environment, they manage to make even breathing feel luxurious – it's truly amazing! How do they achieve this? I've pondered it for a very long time...

Guest UserThe room was clean and tidy, and the location was excellent, directly facing Meili Snow Mountain. You could enjoy the 'Golden Sun on Snow Mountain' phenomenon from the room's balcony or the rooftop terrace. They even provided binoculars! I'd definitely consider staying here again if I have the chance.

This hidden gem of a guesthouse, facing the majestic Meili Snow Mountain, is a true treasure. You can drive right up to the entrance, and there's even a charging station for electric cars. It's a scenic 3-hour drive from Shangri-La, along winding mountain roads. If you arrive before 7 AM, you'll be treated to the breathtaking 'Golden Mountain' sunrise. After sunset, the 'blue hour' creates a gentle and therapeutic atmosphere, making you feel as if you've been transported to a charming European town. The hostess was incredibly warm and attentive, even helping us carry our heavy camera equipment. The room also came equipped with oxygen, which completely eliminated any worries about altitude sickness. Our entire stay was comfortable and unforgettable.

They say you might not see the ”Golden Mountain in the Sun” in October, so I booked this place to avoid wasting money on a view that might not deliver. Turns out, we actually saw it! Super worth it!! The location is right next to where the bus drops you off, so it's a very easy walk, and close to the Feilai Temple viewing platform. The room was unbelievably spacious, and the underfloor heating worked perfectly. There are only four or five rooms, and the view is absolutely stunning. The owner is very simple and enthusiastic. I highly recommend this for anyone hoping to catch the Golden Mountain but worried about a wasted 4-hour drive if they miss it. The accommodation quality is easily more than triple that of other scenic hotels at the same price point, and the courtyard itself can help ease any disappointment if you don't see the sunrise.
Let's talk about the downsides:
1. Feilai Temple is currently under construction, so there are large vehicles at night. I personally wasn't bothered by the noise, but I can't guarantee others wouldn't be. This seems to be a common issue for hotels along this road.
2. The room was very clean and tidy, but I wasn't a fan of the air freshener scent. My partner didn't notice it, though.
3. There were some really large flies. I hope the owner can improve pest control. Although they'll probably freeze to death in a few days, seeing them definitely puts a damper on the mood.

Facilities: The whole smart home system was very convenient, the room was spacious, and the underfloor heating was lovely. The oxygen concentrator also had a nasal cannula option. Hygiene: Very clean. Environment: It's directly opposite the Feilai Temple bus stop, which is super convenient, and only a few hundred meters from the viewing platform. Service: Excellent! Both ladies were very sweet and promptly helped resolve any issues.

Getting to the hotel requires turning off National Highway 214 onto a village road, which was completely dark at night. At that moment, I regretted booking this place. However, after driving down that small road for about 5 minutes, we finally arrived, and I immediately felt that my choice was actually a good one. Once we entered the room, my worries completely disappeared! The room felt like a 4-star standard and, thankfully, was smoke-free. Even better, each room had a copy of the 'Brief Introduction to Diqing Prefecture,' a very professional, detailed, and comprehensive book that helps you quickly and systematically understand the area.
The hotel restaurant's food was good (though a bit salty for us southerners). The prices weren't cheap, around 50 RMB per person, but given the generous portions, I wouldn't say it was expensive. The main benefit was not having to go out to eat, which saved time and effort. The hotel's environment and ambiance were perfect; it truly felt like a manor. I heard it used to be a vineyard that later upgraded to tourism services. Because it's far from the town and main road, it's incredibly quiet, and you can even see the peak of Meili Snow Mountain directly from here.
