Jiaotong hotel
Located beside the Lucheng River and quite close to bus station, it is one of the best hotel in Dartsendo (Kangding). Telephone, TV and air conditioners are available. Its public bathroom is clean enough. Since many local conferences are held here, it is quite a busy hotel. It’s better to book in advance during busy seasons.
Garze Hotel (Kanding Hotel) is another better hotel here.
Taining Hotel is located opposite to the bus station, quite convenient. As the boss comes from Bamei, it is easier to find a private car through him.
