Yabuli Hot Spring International Holiday Center

When taken to our room it wasn’t the room we had booked. When we got into the room it was a suite which was nicer than what we had booked but it smelt badly of smoke and was just generally run down. The manager did all he could but it was a long and seemingly confusing process for them to change the room to what we had booked. Only two of the hot springs were filled and none of the jets worked in the indoors facilities, very run down. Breakfast was really poor. Certainly not worth the price paid unfortunately. Nice views however.

The hotel is nice if you like Chinese food and if you come with your own car or a tour. Advantages: really nice view, hot springs (including one pool outside), massage chairs downstairs, nice standards room, very spacious business suits. Disadvantages (for Western guests): breakfast is fully Chinese and rather spicy, no western restaurants around (there is one nice cafe though), you can’t get to ski resorts if you don’t have a car or a bus, as taxis don’t really operate there. Specifics of the rooms: standard rooms look nice, the business suit was very spacious, but had a super dirty carpet. I think it needs to be regularly hoovered or better just removed. Generally, if you travel with your own car and like a quiet place with nice view - that’s a good hotel.
