Lijiang Liman Wenzhi Hotel
"Perfectly situated hotel; quiet but only few minutes distance to touristic centre of old town Lijiang. Hotel staff (all of them were very kind) accompagnied us from taxi to hotel v.v. and carried our heavy suitcases.
Amber helped us with everything (made reservation for excursion, taxi etc). Her service and kindness were incredible. Even when my husband was sick 1 night, she personnally brought diner to our room (note: you can only have breakfast in this hotel so this dinner was their own!) because I could not leave him allone at that moment. We were highly impressed! Amber speaks English and another female colleague speaks a little English too but the rest of the staff does not. But Google Translate can help you everywhere in China.
Room was good and clean. For breakfast you can choose out of 4 different kinds. 3 Chinese and 1 Western. It was simple but tasty. We recommend this hotel for your stay in Lijiang!"Show more

Banyan Tree Lijiang
"Stayed at a small local hotel in Lijiang old town for 3 nights before moved to Banyee Tree Lijiang for two nights.
In general, Banyee Tree did provide quality service but staff could be more proactive in order to reach five stars service.
Unlike the small local hotel where the staff would treat their guests as friend and try very best to accommodate your requirements.
In Banyee Tree, when I walking back to my room at night in the rain, I stopped the staff who was on golf car, for the right direction. They just pointed you where to go without offering to take you to the room. While staying at the local hotel, the staff would waited for you at the old town gate upon your call to take you back to the hotel.
Another case, when I asked the Banyee Tree staff at the entrance about the possible transportation to another old town nearby, they just said you better asked the taxi for a round trip though there is bus service available. However, when I asked the local hotel for places to visit, they gave me different options and recommend the best and safe options for sole traveler,
Having said that Banyee Tree staff at the restaurant, front desk and Spa are friendly and willing to help.
Overall I did enjoy my stay at Banyee Tree."Show more

Lijiang Riverside Boutique Inn
"I had roughly planned my holiday in Yunnan -- fly into Lijiang and then get an overnight train to Kunming and a bus to the Honghe. But within minutes of my arrival, the plan fell to pieces -- the train tickets were all sold out! So I went to the hotel -- which I must admit is not easy to find because it's tucked in a alleyway near the north gate of the ancient city, not near the hustle and bustle of the main part of town. But the owner who also manages the place came to pick me up from the main road and guide me to the hotel. When I told her of my travel problems she was quick to help me -- spending the next 90 minutes sorting out my travel plans as best as she could. This was totally unnecessary but I was ever so grateful. The Inn itself is spectacular -- it's about a 15-20 minute walk to the main part of the ancient city, but the trade off is that it is so peaceful and quiet -- you're guaranteed a good night's sleep. I had the smallest room in the Inn but it was still quite spacious, and the bed was ever so comfortable. The owner helped me book a day trip to the Yulong snow mountain with a travel service that doesn't take you shopping against your will first. And the best part was meeting other travellers at the Inn -- who I ended up having dinner and drinks with and the next day they also went to the snow mountain. Great atmosphere, superior room and new friends -- all thanks the a young lady who is probably the best hotel owner/manager in all of China. You simply must come and stay. Easily a 10/10!"Show more

Lugu Lake Er San hotel
"Travelled solo and booked Er San Hotel in advance. Hotel is located in one of the newer stretches of shoreline in Lugu opened for tourism. Many hotels along that stretch but Er San Hotel stands out with its simplistic but modern mudbrick-like exterior.
Interior is modern scandinivian styled and very clean. Everything works well. Only gripe is that wc and shower are located separately and there is construction in front of the hotel for the supposed "lakeview" room.
The service more than makes up for the minor inconvenience, not that it mattered given everything was almost perfect. Was hit with food poisoning and requested for a bottle of mineral water to prevent dehydration at 6am. Staff brought up a simple breakfast, a bottle of mineral water and diarrhea medication straight to my room. Such service is by and large, unheard of in places like lugu.
Price/quality is beyond reasonable, not many hotels around Lugu can compete for sure. Thumbs up!"Show more

Lijiang Orchid Land Boutique Resort
"Highly recommend this hotel for its location and rooms. The hotel is located right next to the old city of Lijiang (with a back gate that gets you into the city itself) and is a 10 min walk to the main square. As a result, you have the benefits of being within walking distance of everywhere but without being in the middle of the noise and bustle of the old city itself. The hotel has been built in the traditional Naxi style.
The rooms themselves were really well appointed with a flat screen TV. A lot of thought had gone into the design with plug points in the right places and enough lighting.
This guesthouse is the few hotel in Lijiang to offer free breakfast, it's really delicious with native rice noodle, and the Western food is also prepared. it's nice to enjoy drinks in the courtyard which is quite and comfortable. The staff were all very helpful and eager to please. The reception is very helpful in booking tickets, arranging a car for sightseeing etc."Show more

the tee tree spa is beautifully designed with stones and wood; with lots of natural light and landscaped courtyards.

YueTu House
"The owner (Yang Lei) is the best guide you can get around LiJiang, not only does he goes out of his way to help his guests, i.e. picking us up with umbrellas when it was raining, transporting luggages for guests were just some simple examples. Yang Lei has a very good understanding of all the tourist spots in LiJiang and gives a detailed description of various tours available and assists with the booking of these tours. (He assisted with the booking of Lugu Lake, LiJiang QianGuQing for us). There is a tea corner where he would brew tea and exchange conversations with guests on everything under the sun! Room is very comfortable and location is very near to LiJiang Ancient Town. All in all, an excellent place for your stay in Lijiang with an owner with a human touch."Show more

I love how the Lijiang old town looks like. It is so pleasant to stroll around!! Every sight is beautiful.
We booked for the loft family suite second floor. The interior of the guesthouse is unique as well and I love how old school the interior is. There was bench in front of the room where we would sit and chatting at night.
Great experience in Lijiang."Show more

Jinmao Hotel Lijiang In The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
"The hotel - buildings and interior - is beautiful, set with a picturesque background of the Jade Dragon Snow mountain. It is located just about 10-15 minutes taxi ride from Lijiang Old Town. The room is new and clean, complete with all required necessities. The staff meet basic requirements but I feel that service is the bare minimum of a 4.5 stars hotel - with nothing exceptional or beyond expectation (compared to 3-4 stars hotels we stayed in during this trip which all had service-minded staff which went out of their way to help us and thus making the experience beyond expectation). The hotel has a resident llama and many swans and peacocks too.
The Chinese restaurant in the hotel is highly NOT recommended as food was very bland and service was very slow."Show more

Ivy Garden Hotel&Resorts
"I stayed here for 3 nights with my girlfriend and we loved every bit of it. Even though the price is above average for Lijiang old town, the quality of this place warrants paying a lot more than we actually did -- for us it was completely affordable. The hotel is a solid 5 star. They are somehow able to maintain the feeling that its a smallish, localish hotel while offering true luxury at the same time. The room was one of the nicer rooms I've ever stayed in in terms of attention to detail, decor, and modern fixtures -- there's a profile based lighting system controlled by capacity touch panels on the wall! The restaurant is great -- we ate there for many meals. (we also ate around town at a few different places and this restaurant was comparatively delicious). The location was also top notch. Its on the edge, outside the center of old town, so you avoid the crowded touristy shopping streets and nasty "bar street." Instead the pleasant walk through the nearby quiet winding cobblestone streets and canals allowed us to find some really cool, local (non-touristy) spots within old town. It's also a 3 minute walk from the edge of old town allowing you easily to exit and grab a taxi or bike for some out of town excursions.
Stay here if its at all in your budget arena. I know I will if I return to Lijiang. I'll recommend this to anyone and everyone I come across."Show more

Chen Jie Inn
"I would recommend this Hotel/Inn to anyone who wants to visit Lijiang City.
This Inn is situated in the centre of the Old Town and is in a very quiet position.
The day before we arrived, I received an email from the owner Jessy asking if we would like a driver to collect us from the airport. When we arrived at the airport the driver was there waiting for us. He helped us with our suitcases and drove us to the edge of the Old City Gates.
Jessy was there to greet us with lots of smiles and a man with a cart to take our suitcases to the Inn for us. The cobbled roads in the Old City are not easy to push or pull your luggage on, so having someone take our luggage for us was a big bonus.
We then walked with Jessy to the Inn through the Old City.
Jessy pointed out scenic spots to visit and she also made us aware of the direction to the Inn and pointed out special land marks so that when we were walking around on our own, we would always find our way to the Inn.
We were greeted by Jessy's parents who honoured us by offering us a traditional tea ceremony in the most beautiful foyer I have ever seen.
This Inn is 800 years old and is spectacular. The wood that the Inn is built out of is just beautiful and the rooms are decorated in a way to make you feel cosy, warm and relaxed. There is even an electric blanket on the bed.
Jessy never stops being friendly and is always willing to walk you to restaurants that are cheap and offers fine food. Whether it is for dinner, lunch or tea time, Jessy is always willing to help you out.
Jessy also helped us at the post office when we needed to send items home to Australia.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this Inn to anyone that is travelling to Lijiang City.
Well done Jessy and your parents. You have made the Chen Jie Inn an awesome, homely place to stay while in Lijiang City.
Kevin & Lee-Anne Leach, Australia."Show more

i had made two separate bookings, but managed to get two separate blossom hills, neverland and joyland. they are both owened by the same group, 50 metres from each other and both are excellent.
i have travelled extensively in china and the rooms were the best value i have had. the bedrooms were themed, so all werer different. the furniture was to a high standard and the bathrooms had german sinks, baths etc. the beds are probably the best i have ever slept in. these are boutique hotels with the bedrooms around a courtyard. the staff spoke english and were very helpfull."Show more

Xilu Xiaoxie Inn
"Aside from the fact that I found Lijiang to be one of the nicest places in China, this “inn” I would consider worthy of calling a “4-star” hotel. It was tasteful, comfortable, and impeccably clean. It’s relatively easy to find, about a 7-8 minute walk to the South Gate of the Old City; safe because it’s right next to a major artery commercial street, but also not exactly in the busiest center of town (that’s say, another 7-8 min walk further north). I absolutely intend to stay there again if/when I return to this town, although I can’t tell you which room # was the best situated, haha. Lastly, the inn manager “Little Fat” (小胖) was a delightful, friendly, and helpful host. The owner is lucky to have this young man communicate with and treat the guests as well as he does. I would believe it if this place is owned by his family (who knows). He’s always smiley and happy. Which water has he been drinking? 😉☺️ I don’t usually bother writing reviews to be honest, but this place deserves it."Show more

The Bivou Lijiang Hotel
"The Bivou Experience is something that you can't get it anywhere in Lijiang. Sure, there are so many hotels/hostels/home stays in Lijiang but none of them beats the hospitality that the bivou provides.
When you arrive, you'll be greated by the warm smiles of the bivou employees. All of them are well versed in English and Mandarin. Right away, you'll see a long table with snacks awaiting you after your long flight into Lijiang. The check in was fast and they even bring your luggage into the right for you.
The room is bright and looks spacious. Inside you'll receive a small welcome kit filled with useful stuffs that will help you in the brutal winter in Lijiang. The room is nicely decorated with heated floors, heated toilet seats and blankets. Everything you need to feel comfy after a whole day of hiking and walking around in Lijiang.

This boutique hotel in the Lijiang Ancient Town (Gu Cheng) has everything u would need, Air-con with functioning heater, Good audio system, DVD, Wi-fi, and computer in the rooms!

The hotel staffs were excellent, very friendly and helpful. They assisted us in all the things that we need, providing maps, recommending the places the go, things to take note of, and arranging for all our tours and transports! They could even arrange home cook dinner for you at the hotel.
The only thing is to book your room/s early as there are only 9 rooms in this hotels and try to get those rooms in the 2nd level as there are less privacy and may be quite noisy for those rooms on the ground level."Show more

"the main downside or upside of the hotel is its location on hill. it is a 3-5 minutes walk uphill from the central square of old town which is buzzling.
do not try to walk to hotel on your own as this hotel has no proper signage leading up to the entrance. it is recommend to arrange transfer with hotel as taxis cannot bring you through the pedestrianised old town. they would have to use the hilly road from the other side of the hill near the old town north entrance
the panorama view in the morning and evening from the hotel is breaktaking with the mountain range surrounding the low rise tile roof of lijiang old town.
the entire property was beautifully converted from an old house with courtyard and balcony. service is friendly and helpful. breakfast is made to order noodle soup or portridge.
my room on the upper floor was gorgeous with a small star-gazing glass window on the roof top and a balcony with outdoor table and chairs. the interior design is quite similar to the chic contemporary room design of phnom penh's the 240 hotel, with natural light and local wood.
the hotel offers an outside food delivery service which charges only rmb15 where you can order anything from the menu of half a dozen fast food restaurants like kfc, pizza hut and local chinese fast food chain.
i ordered two items (no order limit) from the room's landline and within 30 minutes, the food was delivered to my room by the outside delivery guy! it was excellent way to settle into the room and have hot food delivered to you.
this hotel is very popular with locals, so i could not even extend my stay after two nights since i enjoyed the place very much."Show more

"I had a great time in this hotel. The place is a little difficult to find (as all guest houses located in the old town) because it is located in an alley. The taxi driver called the hotel for instructions on how to get there and Ayu, the guest house owner, came to pick me up in the street to show me the way to the hotel. The room was nicely decorated and the bathroom is quite big and comfortable. All the rooms look to the patio, including the reception room. Ayu and her husband invited me and other guests to have tea with them on a rainy afternoon. They also invited us for dinner that evening, which make my experience in Lijiang a special one. Ayu and her assistant cooked the most delicious meal I had tried in a long time in China. Ayu really knows how to make her guests feel at home and I want to thank her for giving me this wonderful experience in Lijiang. She speaks English as a native speaker. If you like pets, you will adore the two big dogs in the house. Regarding Lijiang, I felt it was like a big shopping mall where you can get nice things for a good price. You will be a little disappointed if you are looking for folk traditions. Maybe you can go to Shangri-La or Dali for that."Show more

At the hostel it felt like being home, the staff very helpful and kind. The location is great for travellers wishing to escape from the sometimes too crowded Lijiang old town or Sushe village. Although on its way to touristic development, Baisha village is still a peaceful and untouched place.. late in the afternoon could see villagers going around with farm animals, working in the fields, etc.
There quite a number of very nice coffee bars as well, and the village is near the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. suggest to cycle around it, it was very beautiful."Show more

It’s relatively easy to find, about a 7-8 minute walk to the South Gate of the Old City; safe because it’s right next to a major artery commercial street, but also not exactly in the busiest center of town (that’s say, another 7-8 min walk further north). I absolutely intend to stay there again if/when I return to this town, although I can’t tell you which room # was the best situated, haha. Lastly, the inn manager “Little Fat” (小胖) was a delightful, friendly, and helpful host. The owner is lucky to have this young man communicate with and treat the guests as well as he does. I would believe it if this place is owned by his family (who knows). He’s always smiley and happy. Which water has he been drinking? 😉☺️ I don’t usually bother writing reviews to be honest, but this place deserves it."Show more

I love how the Lijiang old town looks like. It is so pleasant to stroll around!! Every sight is beautiful.
We booked for the loft family suite second floor. The interior of the guesthouse is unique as well and I love how old school the interior is. There was bench in front of the room where we would sit and chatting at night.
Great experience in Lijiang."Show more

"Keep in mind of the whole experience of being in an ancient city. If I were comparing this to a five star hotel in a modern city, these ratings would be different. However, given the idea of being in an ancient city it's good. The owners are really helpful and accommodating. I've stayed elsewhere before and heating is often done with space heaters or fireplaces in the city, and washrooms are often missing segregation of showers. I paid very little for the room."Show more

I had to get refund from Agoda for breakfast fee, but it was super hard to get resonable fee! As a result, I had to waste a whole day, a first day in Lijiang, to get refund breakfast fee. So stressful!!!
However, except for this, the rest of things are good! Kind staff, clean room, cheap laundry fee(3 yuan), good location which is near old town and bus terminal, etc."Show more

Besides, the owner is so kind to help us in anyway he could, like arranging transportations and helping us to leave our baggages, and to say goodbye in his pajamas at cold 6am, not forgetting he also received us to check in at the hotel at 1:30am in the freezing midnight (also in his stylish pajamas, hahaha).

Lijiang Baisha Holiday Resort
"Baisha Holiday Resort is nestled in the quiet town of Baisha outside of LiJiang. My Dad and I stayed here the second week of May and it was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. The facilities are gorgeous and will remind you of traditional China. The views of the mountains from various balconies will take your breath away. More than all that, though, the staff are why you'll come back (and that's an enormous compliment given the facilities and views were stunning).
Chris and Helen are the two staff members who will take care of you. Want to visit the mountains? Ask Chris and he'll have everything arranged by morning. Want to get picked up from LiJiang airport? Call ahead and Helen will have a car waiting for you.
My Dad and I mentioned to Chris we wanted to do a two day hike of Tiger Leaping Gorge. He arranged our bus to the trail as well as got us a map. It was refreshing experiencing this level of service.
If you want a quiet hideaway with the best staff in the world then stay at Baisha Holiday Resort. You won't regret it."Show more

"Highly recommend this hotel for its location and rooms. The hotel is located right next to the old city of Lijiang (with a back gate that gets you into the city itself) and is a 10 min walk to the main square. As a result, you have the benefits of being within walking distance of everywhere but without being in the middle of the noise and bustle of the old city itself. The hotel has been built in the traditional Naxi style.
The rooms themselves were really well appointed with a flat screen TV. A lot of thought had gone into the design with plug points in the right places and enough lighting.
This guesthouse is the few hotel in Lijiang to offer free breakfast, it's really delicious with native rice noodle, and the Western food is also prepared. it's nice to enjoy drinks in the courtyard which is quite and comfortable. The staff were all very helpful and eager to please. The reception is very helpful in booking tickets, arranging a car for sightseeing etc."Show more

Yang Lei has a very good understanding of all the tourist spots in LiJiang and gives a detailed description of various tours available and assists with the booking of these tours. (He assisted with the booking of Lugu Lake, LiJiang QianGuQing for us). There is a tea corner where he would brew tea and exchange conversations with guests on everything under the sun!

Chen Jie Inn
"I would recommend this Hotel/Inn to anyone who wants to visit Lijiang City.
This Inn is situated in the centre of the Old Town and is in a very quiet position.
The day before we arrived, I received an email from the owner Jessy asking if we would like a driver to collect us from the airport. When we arrived at the airport the driver was there waiting for us. He helped us with our suitcases and drove us to the edge of the Old City Gates.
Jessy was there to greet us with lots of smiles and a man with a cart to take our suitcases to the Inn for us. The cobbled roads in the Old City are not easy to push or pull your luggage on, so having someone take our luggage for us was a big bonus.
We then walked with Jessy to the Inn through the Old City.
Jessy pointed out scenic spots to visit and she also made us aware of the direction to the Inn and pointed out special land marks so that when we were walking around on our own, we would always find our way to the Inn.
We were greeted by Jessy's parents who honoured us by offering us a traditional tea ceremony in the most beautiful foyer I have ever seen.
This Inn is 800 years old and is spectacular. The wood that the Inn is built out of is just beautiful and the rooms are decorated in a way to make you feel cosy, warm and relaxed. There is even an electric blanket on the bed.
Jessy never stops being friendly and is always willing to walk you to restaurants that are cheap and offers fine food. Whether it is for dinner, lunch or tea time, Jessy is always willing to help you out.
Jessy also helped us at the post office when we needed to send items home to Australia.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this Inn to anyone that is travelling to Lijiang City.
Well done Jessy and your parents. You have made the Chen Jie Inn an awesome, homely place to stay while in Lijiang City.
Kevin & Lee-Anne Leach, Australia."Show more

Right away, you'll see a long table with snacks awaiting you after your long flight into Lijiang. The check in was fast and they even bring your luggage into the right for you.
The room is bright and looks spacious. Inside you'll receive a small welcome kit filled with useful stuffs that will help you in the brutal winter in Lijiang. The room is nicely decorated with heated floors, heated toilet seats and blankets. Everything you need to feel comfy after a whole day of hiking and walking around in Lijiang.

This boutique hotel in the Lijiang Ancient Town (Gu Cheng) has everything u would need, Air-con with functioning heater, Good audio system, DVD, Wi-fi, and computer in the rooms! This hotel was formally an Art House! While keeping the historical design and feel, they renovated the bathroom with luxurious modern fittings!
The hotel staffs were excellent, very friendly and helpful. They assisted us in all the things that we need, providing maps, recommending the places the go, things to take note of, and arranging for all our tours and transports! They could even arrange home cook dinner for you at the hotel.
The only thing is to book your room/s early as there are only 9 rooms in this hotels and try to get those rooms in the 2nd level as there are less privacy and may be quite noisy for those rooms on the ground level."Show more

"We booked this place some two month before our 5 weeks travel to china. It had fantastic ratings and nice pictures. When we finally found the place on arrival day (there is a different English name on the door post), our room was occupied. The lady at "reception" didn't speak a word of English, and that is usually not a problem, we just use 'Google translate'. But she insisted on long long monologues - too long for her Chinese translator to handle so it was almost impossible to guess the meaning. We think she asked us to accept another room (otherwise she would lose money ?!..). But what a disappointment. The room was small and dark. The sheets where not clean, the carpet on the floor was outright dirty but worst of all....the lady was very unfriendly. So after trying to communicate with her for about 15 minutes we finally gave up and left the place. Apparently there are quite a few places whit almost identical names - I guess the good rating must belong to another hotel..."Show more

"I mostly book places based on reviews and this was the worst fail I've had to date.
First- the hotel doesn't have it's name in English out the front. It took us nearly two hours to find it and only after calling Agoda and asking for contact details. Even then, half an hour later we eventually found the place - wrong number of the street they have listed, wrong name and more.
The rooms itself are traditional and that's fine except we were visiting in March (sub zero temps C) with non-sealed windows and even with the A/C on 30c blow heat maximum we were still freezing cold.
It's location in the Lijiang Old City isn't great, either. This was my second time in Lijiang so I have perspective - it's way away from any places you might want to visit.
You'd visit Lijiang to see the mountains if you're a western tourist and I can't recommend that enough. Just don't stay here."Show more

Banyan Tree Lijiang
"Stayed at a small local hotel in Lijiang old town for 3 nights before moved to Banyee Tree Lijiang for two nights.
In general, Banyee Tree did provide quality service but staff could be more proactive in order to reach five stars service.
Unlike the small local hotel where the staff would treat their guests as friend and try very best to accommodate your requirements.
In Banyee Tree, when I walking back to my room at night in the rain, I stopped the staff who was on golf car, for the right direction. They just pointed you where to go without offering to take you to the room. While staying at the local hotel, the staff would waited for you at the old town gate upon your call to take you back to the hotel.
Another case, when I asked the Banyee Tree staff at the entrance about the possible transportation to another old town nearby, they just said you better asked the taxi for a round trip though there is bus service available. However, when I asked the local hotel for places to visit, they gave me different options and recommend the best and safe options for sole traveler,
Having said that Banyee Tree staff at the restaurant, front desk and Spa are friendly and willing to help.
Overall I did enjoy my stay at Banyee Tree."Show more

Lugu Lake Er San hotel
"Travelled solo and booked Er San Hotel in advance. Hotel is located in one of the newer stretches of shoreline in Lugu opened for tourism. Many hotels along that stretch but Er San Hotel stands out with its simplistic but modern mudbrick-like exterior.
Interior is modern scandinivian styled and very clean. Everything works well. Only gripe is that wc and shower are located separately and there is construction in front of the hotel for the supposed "lakeview" room.
The service more than makes up for the minor inconvenience, not that it mattered given everything was almost perfect. Was hit with food poisoning and requested for a bottle of mineral water to prevent dehydration at 6am. Staff brought up a simple breakfast, a bottle of mineral water and diarrhea medication straight to my room. Such service is by and large, unheard of in places like lugu.
Price/quality is beyond reasonable, not many hotels around Lugu can compete for sure. Thumbs up!"Show more

InterContinental Lijiang Ancient Town Resort
"i admire the architecture of this resort and the excellent design and workmanship of the interiors - a perfect blend of traditional and modern designs.
the crown plaza lijiang ancient town is centrally located. it has best of both worlds where one can stay in the resort to enjoy serenity and a relaxing spa treatment or to take a stroll at the ancient town with direct access from the side gate.
the tee tree spa is beautifully designed with stones and wood; with lots of natural light and landscaped courtyards.
the hotel is new, and the staff are friendly and helpful which made our stay very pleasant.
a top choice if you visit lijiang."Show more

Lijiang He Mu Ju Family Inn
"Stay there for 3nights. Love the location of the guesthouse which is inside the lijiang old town. We strolled the lijiang old town every single night!
I love how the Lijiang old town looks like. It is so pleasant to stroll around!! Every sight is beautiful.
We booked for the loft family suite second floor. The interior of the guesthouse is unique as well and I love how old school the interior is. There was bench in front of the room where we would sit and chatting at night.
Great experience in Lijiang."Show more

Jinmao Hotel Lijiang In The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
"The hotel - buildings and interior - is beautiful, set with a picturesque background of the Jade Dragon Snow mountain. It is located just about 10-15 minutes taxi ride from Lijiang Old Town. The room is new and clean, complete with all required necessities. The staff meet basic requirements but I feel that service is the bare minimum of a 4.5 stars hotel - with nothing exceptional or beyond expectation (compared to 3-4 stars hotels we stayed in during this trip which all had service-minded staff which went out of their way to help us and thus making the experience beyond expectation). The hotel has a resident llama and many swans and peacocks too.
The Chinese restaurant in the hotel is highly NOT recommended as food was very bland and service was very slow."Show more

Ivy Garden Hotel&Resorts
"I stayed here for 3 nights with my girlfriend and we loved every bit of it. Even though the price is above average for Lijiang old town, the quality of this place warrants paying a lot more than we actually did -- for us it was completely affordable. The hotel is a solid 5 star. They are somehow able to maintain the feeling that its a smallish, localish hotel while offering true luxury at the same time. The room was one of the nicer rooms I've ever stayed in in terms of attention to detail, decor, and modern fixtures -- there's a profile based lighting system controlled by capacity touch panels on the wall! The restaurant is great -- we ate there for many meals. (we also ate around town at a few different places and this restaurant was comparatively delicious). The location was also top notch. Its on the edge, outside the center of old town, so you avoid the crowded touristy shopping streets and nasty "bar street." Instead the pleasant walk through the nearby quiet winding cobblestone streets and canals allowed us to find some really cool, local (non-touristy) spots within old town. It's also a 3 minute walk from the edge of old town allowing you easily to exit and grab a taxi or bike for some out of town excursions.
Stay here if its at all in your budget arena. I know I will if I return to Lijiang. I'll recommend this to anyone and everyone I come across."Show more

Lijiang He Mu Ju Inn Zhongyi
"If you dont speak Chinese, It's hard to travel around China, especially in Lijiang. But a staff who can speak English, helped us hundred times. I was absolutely lucky to stay in Hemuju Inn. Breakfast was good, room was clean and cozy, bath tub, electronic blanket, hair dryer, tv and everything is ready in the room. No other hotels can be better than here. 1 All the staff are soooooooooo nice and warm hearted. My family trip in Lijiang was filled with a lot of happiness because of this hotel. Thanks for the staff again, I will never forget your kindness and care."Show more

Lijiang Jun Bo Xuan Guesthouse
"We are from Italy and we came from Lijiang for the first time. We had an amazing time at Lijiang Jun Bo Xuan Boutique Guesthouse. We can just recommend it to everyone who wants to visit Yunnan prefecture and Lijiang Old town. Location is great, you can walk around the old town easily. It's extremely safe. Also staff speaks good English and helped us going around the area for 3 days, finding us a driver to go to the Snow Mountain and so on. I don't usually write reviews of hotels/Guesthouses but I'm happy to share the great time we had at Lijiang Jun Bo Xuan Boutique Guesthouse and give the staff the credit they deserve."Show more

Arro Khampa by Zinc Journey Lijiang
"We are family of 6 with 4 young kids, we have stayed at the Arro Khampa Hotel and it was a great experience. The stuff was exceptionally attentive, they all, especially Riccardo the Manager of the Hotel made sure we have everything we need and more, assist us organizing our trip at the area, answered every question. It was above and beyond service. The hotel itself is located at ShoueHe, which is a town very close to Lijiang but with the benefit of nature surrounding it. We walked around the town which was charming and pleasant. The rooms are very good on a western scale and the tea room is a gem. We highly recommend this place"Show more

Lijiang Guanfang Hotel Garden Villas
"After trying to find the hotel for over an hour, a kind police officer led me to the hotel that I had walked into and left due to it being a different name, not matching the photos on Agoda, and the map location being off by a few hundred meters. It is not called star snow mountain view resorts, it is called snow snow mountain resorts on the sign out the front, and the main photo does not resemble the hotel at all. They had my booking information so it is the place.
Once checked in I had a satisfactory stay. The room was quiet and comfortable, and the non-english speaking staff and I communicated through apps on our phones which worked well enough.
Breakfast was asian style with sausages, rice, eggs, sweet potato and green vegetables on offer, although stocks were low by the time I arrived in the dining area at about 8:30/9AM. The kind man on the front desk also made me the coffee of my choice, in addition to the 'cappuccino' he insisted I try, which came out as a flat white/latte. Good job on it though...
There was a bit of confusion with money halfway through the stay, and was handed back 200RMB by a staff member which I later had to return... Not sure what was going on there, but no harm.
The hotel did not have a sauna or massage facility as advertised on Agoda, but Rina, who was away at the time and communicated with me through WhatsApp said the staff could take me to a nearby place, which I did not take them up on. Rina was also helpful in recommending a place for dinner which was some of the best food I had while in the area.
Overall the hotel was comfortable and in a good location in Shuhe, however I did feel a bit misled about the facilities, and was confused why they would use different photos and have an inaccurate location on the map."Show more

Lijiang Guanfang Hotel
"I visited Lijiang last June and stayed in the Villas. General reviews I read was people preferred the high rise which is what I requested. Hotel was great except noise from adjoining room (I think a suite) had several women and they were very loud from 5:15a-7A and night from 9pm-11:30pm. We could hear every word they said and was very annoying. Personally I prefer the Villas as it is much quieter and much more beautiful grounds. Negative there is it is so far to walk to catch transportation and to resturants but I personally liked the walk. If I make another trip to Lijiang I will probably request the Villas."Show more

Wonderport International Hotel
"This was my first trip to Lijiang but hopefully not my last. The weather was fantastic for the entire week. This hotel exceeded my expectation in every way. The rooms are spacious and very well appointed. The service was exceptional in every aspect. Attentive and courteous staff. English is a little weak but certainly much better that my Mandarin. I would recommend this hotel to anyone interested in visiting LIjiang. It is about a 10 minute taxi ride from both the modern and ancient city. YOu will not be disappointed if you stay at the top notch hotel."Show more

Château L Act Hotel
"the room needed a bit of a touch up but was decent. the location is great, right at the south entrance of the old town, easy to find, quiet at night. the courtyard of the hotel is beautiful. but ... all this is overshadowed by the terrible service. the staff is incredibly rude and unorganized. at check-in the girl tried to charge me for the airport pick up even though this was included in my booking, and i had called 3 times to confirm. housekeeping grunted and hung up on me when i asked for them to come make up the room. the lady at the front desk instructed another staff member to ignore me when i went to ask for a plug converter (i speak fluent mandarin). at checkout, they checked out the wrong room and refused to return my full deposit. it's shame that management hasn't taken the effort to train the staff because this hotel has a lot of potential. i would not stay here again or recommend this place to any of my friends."Show more

Lijiang International Hotel
"This hotel can not call itself 5 stars for the following reasons. It's not a bad stay but there are a few things about here that's clearly can improve.
1. It didn't get agoda's airport pickup request. I ordered one during booking, and by the time I got to airport no one picked me up, called and ask, the hotel staff was polite(most staff here are very friendly) but said they didn't see such a request and didn't offer to help out
2. I needed to print something urgently during my stay, so asked the front desk, they said they don't have a printer and direct me to ask the restaurant(which is pretty random), the restaurant staff said its 3RMB per paper with a smirky smile, I was pretty angry about this as this is clearly a rip off, when I ask where else I can print my things the guy refused to help (then I left and found a printing place a block away that charged significantly less), this dude is the worst person I've met during my entire stay, for China this is not a surprise, but in a true 5 stars hotel this is not tolerable.
However, most staff here are friendly and nice, room is clean enough for the price, located near the main sight, (10 mins walk), cleaning lady was really sweet, front desk has good manner, as long as you don't expect it to be a real 5 stars, this will be a fine place to stay."Show more

No.188 Boutique Hotel
"We checked in early at 8 am after arriving in Lijiang by train from Kunming. Then the staff prepared for us a hefty and delicious breakfast. They have Chinese and Western breakfast options. We ended up eating most of our dinners at the hotel as th food outside was oily and not appetizing. The owner of the hotel Michelle also served us tea the traditional way in the courtyard which was a lovely way to spend an hour of your day in lijiang. Although the cost of the room in this hotel is higher than other inns in lijiang, the deco is modern and the service is impeccable. Also we got to meet a few of the other guests as the environment made it conducive for chit chat. The only set back is that the hotel is difficult to locate when we first got to lijiang. Tell the cab driver to drop you off at the South Gate of the Old Town... Walk along the cobble path for 3 minutes until you see a big tree and turn left immediately before the tree. Keep right and you will see a tourist information booth. The hotel is on your right."Show more

Blossom Hill Inn Lijiang Weavingland
"To people who don't care about insects and spiders in a not really well cleaned and sometimes noisy room I can recommend this hotel, as the building is really superb and situated in the midst of this unique traditional town in Southwest China. But the woodstructure and probably the humidity are probably the reasons for windows you can't close and through which you have countless spiders, millipeds and insects coming in. And the cleaning ladies do an awful job - the used cotton tabs we found on the bathroom floor at our arrival were still there after 6 days and furthermore they everyday lost some of their own hairs on the clean new bed sheets."Show more

Lijiang Shuhe Yuefeng Resort Hotel
"A rather confusing hotel to nail down as there are two different Lijiang Huifeng hotels ("old" and "new" -- apparently owned by the same people). As if that's not confusing enough, Lijiang City actually has two different "old towns" several kilometers apart -- Lijiang Old Town and Shuhe Old Town. I had read that the old hotel was located in Shuhe, and so I assumed the new one was located in Lijiang (hence the name "Lijiang" in its title, right?). Well, I was wrong. Apparently both are in Shuhe.
I printed the name of the place in Chinese to show the taxi driver at the airport, and he was able to drive me 99% of the way there. Despite what some previous reviews have said, Shuhe has some major construction going on at the moment, so as of now it is NOT possible for the cab to drive all the way to the hotel. Luckily it's a very short walk away from the parking lot, and one of the hotel staff came over to where the taxi had parked to guide me into the old town streets to actually get to the hotel itself.
Once I had finally found the property, I was amazed at how beautiful it looked. An oasis of calm in an otherwise bustling historic district. It has high walls surrounding a central courtyard, so from the outside it looks like nothing. But inside, beautiful grounds, enchanting swimming pool, and attention to detail (flowers scattered at appropriate spots all around). There's a separate tea room free for guests, and you can get a beautiful view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from the staircase built up to the third floor for just such a purpose.
Not all of the staff can speak English, but enough do, so that was never a problem. The room was an absolute dream. Again, doesn't look like much from the outside but a real treat once you step inside. Very fluffy comfortable bed and pillows, surprisingly modern bathroom. Would definitely stay here again!"Show more

Evian Palace Lijiang
"I've decided to stay at this hotel from September 4 to September 9 because of the good reviews. Mr. Peter Zhang from the staff sent someone to pick me and my guides up from the airport free of charge. Because it is not allowed to enter the old town with a vehicle, the driver helped me to bring my suitcase to the hotel. The staff was friendly and the hotel owner, Ms. Li, treated me and my guides like old friends. She often invited us to drink tea and was very interested in our life story. I felt very at ease in this friendly atmosphere. We parted as 'new old friends'. I would book this hotel again next time and recommend this hotel to everyone. One of the best I've ever stayed in."Show more

More about Lijiang
The small, remote city of Lijiang is a popular tourist destination that offers a magical charm. Not as ancient as other Chinese cities, this one still retains a few hundred years of history. Set about 35 minutes from the city is Lijiang Airport - the gateway to the area. Trains and buses also travel to Lijiang, but don’t offer the quick convenience of a flight.
Lijiang’s fairytale experience is a wonderful one complimented by the Naxi People and the Old Town. The Old Town is filled with canals and beautiful, traditional buildings. Simply strolling through the area will be a delight, and the dining and shopping opportunities only make it that much better. Worthy buys would include burned wood carvings, yak horn combs, Naxi clothing, and even art and writing samples of the Naxi – a people who have the only living hieroglyphic language in the world. There are several other areas to be explored when you find yourself able to get away from the Old Town. The Black Dragon Pool Park offers natural scenery and traditional buildings against the backdrop of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain which is another popular destination of Lijiang. Hiking to Naxi villages, catching a cultural show at Naxi Concert Hall, and exploring Mu Palace are but a few more of the wonders to be enjoyed here.
