We were dreading our 1 night stay on our tour, even our Chinese guide told us it was poor! The drive up to the Hotel included a swimming pool that was green!! Walking into the hotel was different, it was clean and it was obvious a refurbishment had taken place. The bedroom was huge clean and looked brand new with... More

My wife and I have recently returned from our visit to the Bifeng Panda Sanctuary. Our original plan was to stay in the accommodation provided by the sanctuary but our tour company advised us that they thought we would be more comfortable staying in the Hongzhu Hotel in Ya'an. This proved to be an excellent choice.....We found the hotel to... More

I've been there this June and I was a Little concerned about the not so good reputation of this Hotel. Well it's not the Sheraton, but if you want to visit Bifenxia Panda base, this is the place to be. I booked a superior room (#8516) and it was all right, big, nice and clean. I can't say of the...

The problem with the reviews from we picky Americans is that our standards are somewhat difficult to meet. This is by far the nicest hotel in all of Ya'an. It is also the closest hotel to the panda base unless you stay at the panda base itself. The staff is incredibly polite and helpful. We (family of 3) stayed here... More

I am writing this review from inside this establishment. I am so exhausted but I am afraid to sleep because of the rats. The place looks great from the outside but drops immediately when you walk in the door. The rooms are filthy - I found a 4" black hair in my sink, and the carpets are wretched. I am... More

From my recent experience all I can advise it to avoid this hotel at all costs! The first bedroom we were taken to was dirty and tired to say the least. Obviously the headboards for the beds had been changed at some time as the outline of the old ones were very firmly oulined by the black dirt that remained.... More

Glad we were only staying one night! The initial visual driving up to the hotel was pleasant until you reached the hotel pool on the bridge in front of the hotel. It was overgrown with dirty, green water that looked like it had not been used in at least a year. the staff was very courteous and friendly - no... More

What a lovely surprise the Hongzhu Hotel was after staying in a slew of very basic and dirty hotels. Quiet country setting. Large rooms: very pleasant, fresh smelling, and moreover clean! Large TV and electric kettle with two types of free tea. Combination shower/tub. The bathroom was very good with shampoo and bath soaps although no hairdryer. The toilet didn't... More

We are currently in the Hotel and we are in the luxury room and we are really satisfied. We have a large room, nice bathroom and everything is new and clean. Language is a little problem, but everybody is very friendly and tries to help you. Panda Base is only around 30 minutes from the Hotel by car or by... More
