Kaihua County accommodation from AU$44

This resort is up on a hill, as long as you are prepped to have a windy trip up the mountain, you will be fine. The drivers here are more than experienced to ensure a good trip up. The hotel is dimly lit in the day but all is good. The rooms are spacious and your basic amenities are present. Service is good if you know Chinese, but basic if you don't speak the language. We booked through Expedia so couldn't get any points or other benefits as compared to booking via Hilton Honors. Would be good to check out the loyalty programmes before booking to get the best deal. 😉 Overall, a pleasant stay with a bountiful spread for breakfast. Tip: Get to know the driver who brings you to the hotel, have a good conversation with him and have him bring you round instead. Better value for money. 🙌

We recently stayed at this hotel and while the dining staff were genuinely kind and helpful, and the hotel is situated at a nice location with good surrounding environment. Our room experience was disappointing. We booked a non-smoking room, but the smell of smoke was so strong it woke us up during the night. The staff offered to move us to a higher floor, but it wasn't really an upgrade, and the smoke smell continued. We even had to open the porch door in the middle of the night just to get fresh air. At checkout, when we shared our experience, the explanation felt dismissive, saying they couldn't control other guests. We expected a clean non-smoking room and we did not get it.
