Jiuxiang Hotel — Hotel in Sichuan

We arrived in Jiuzhaigou by bus from Chengdu. Jiuxiang Hotel was within walking distance from where the bus dropped us off which was very convenient. The staff at this hotel spoke limited English, however they did speak enough so that we could get by. The hotel itself was very noisy with families and children running around. The hotel is also within walking distance to the entrance of the National Park. BE WARNED!! Make sure you arrive as early as possible to the National Park as we got there at 9am and had a terrible time queueing for tickets and being shoved and pushed continuously by masses of tour groups. This also happened throughout our time within the park, which spoilt it's beauty for us. Nearby the hotel there are many restaurants, some of which have pictures on the walls so we could choose what we wanted to eat. Most of the menu's were in chinese so we couldn't read them. There are many provision shops around the hotel too. We arranged a "taxi" with the hotel to get to the airport; it seems that it was a family member or friend who took us and from reading another review on booking.com we seem to have been over charged (or at least charged more than this couple). Other than that the facilities were good and the room was quite clean. If I were to visit the area again I would stay in this hotel purely because of the good and...

We booked Jiuxiang Hotel via Ctrip, choosing the hotel based on location, facilities, value for money and positive reviews. The hotel is located on the main road, about 10 minutes walk (less than 5 minutes by taxi) to the entrance to Jiuzhaigou Park. It is less than 10 minutes to the bus station. Taxis charge either 10 or 20 rmb to the bus station, ask before you ride to make sure.||The hotel is not new, has no lift, but our triple bed room was comfortable, spacious and most important, warm. (It was bitingly cold when we were here). Hot water strong, steady, continuous. Electric blankets were provided, (again very important). There were sunflower seeds on the carpet from the previous occupant. Toiletries were also provided, towels like new. Hair dryer at reception. ||The male receptionist was helpful and spoke English. They offer a good rate for going to Huanglong.||There are lots of eateries, restaurants, curio and souvenir shops on both sides of the hotel. More restaurants, more shops and convenience stores across the road from the hotel.||Overall, one of the better rated hotels...
