Once Upon a Time in Meili

Could not eat the breakfast. It was totally western - dairy products, fried egg and meat. Very bright lights all night outside. Adjacent to main road, but not very busy. English name written very small, Chinese name is 梅里往事 Pinyin name is meili wangshi. Room nice and warm, balcony, great view, but better from a couple of hotels further down the road. Binoculars in the room was a very nice touch. Directly opposite the focal point of the town (viewing platform and area where the bus terminates).

This hotel offers a great location to view the Meili Snow Mountains during the morning golden peak and also sunset (if you're lucky with the weather conditions). It is right next to the bus stop, which means it is very convenient if you are planning to catch an early morning bus (in our case). Rooms can be a bit pricey, but we know that we are essentially paying for the view. The food at the hotel is also tasty, I didn't need to go and look anywhere else for dinner and breakfast. I appreciated the great help that was provided by a staff named Xiao Wei. We arrived at the hotel when it was raining and wasn't expecting to see any mountain range in sight, but then the sky suddenly cleared up during the evening just shortly before sunset whilst we were having dinner and Xiao Wei came over to tell us to go and have a look at the snow mountain, which made our hearts rushed with joy. We also appreciated when Xiao Wei told us again during night time that the mountain range was visible so we quickly opened the curtain to treat ourselves with another fantastic view. The viewing platform on the top floor is a great location to see the sunrise and golden peak. I personally think it's even better viewing at the Feilai Temple platform that most tourists go to. On a final note, Xiao Wei again was very kind to help us by going to the bus platform at 8.30 AM in the morning to help us purchase the bus tickets from the driver (we couldn't do so as wechat pay didn't work for us). We were very happy with our stay here and got very lucky with some of the best views during our entire Yunnan trip. Thank you very much to Xiao Wei and the staff at Once Upon A Time in Meili :)

The view of the hotel is very good and also some restaurants are close by.

Mountain view with binoculars available for sight seeing at the balcony. The toilet was comfortable with room heater. Oxygen supply was also available. Recommend for short stay at Meili

The accommodation is located across the road from the bus terminal (less then 3mins walk). It is simple, clean and comes with a balcony facing the Meili mountains. A simple breakfast was also served during the stay (after 7.30am) and there was sufficient time to catch the early bus for any journey onwards (e.g. 8am bus to Ninong Village for hike to Yubeng). Out of convenience, we also had dinner at the restaurant which serves nice Chinese food.

Very satisfied with the hotel service,location and cleanliness! The hotel is right infront of the Mei Li mountain and customers are allowed to go to the rooftop to take pics.
