Lijiang Hostels

Facilities: A very retro and unique shop, I think artsy types would love to stay here, it's very comfortable. There's a swing, but the shower area is outdoors, which is slightly inconvenient. The toilets and bathrooms have ambient lighting. There are also many different types of books to read. Hygiene: Clean and tidy, the toilets are sit-down toilets, but alcohol wipes are provided. Alcohol spray and laundry detergent are available, but you need to bring your own toothbrush and towel. Environment: Located near Shuhe Ancient Town, the scenery is beautiful, and there are many cats and plants in the shop. Service: It's okay, there are no computers in the shop, so if you need to transfer photos, it's recommended to bring your own computer or phone adapter. The soundproofing is poor; you can often hear conversations in the courtyard at 7 am and 11 pm. Also, the cats are currently in their estrus cycle and often howl at night. There are no earplugs, so people with poor sleep quality should bring their own.

Everything very good. Quiet location 5min walker from south gate of ancient town. Manager extremely helpful. Nice traditional breakfast. Recommended. If you go up snow mountain using a local tour they will stop on way to buy oxygen cans & ”medicine”, very expensive but they persuasive. Just buy a can or 2 & a snickers bar at local shop & save yourself 200 yuan. The village is amazing, especially the west side at early evening when empty.

Thank you so much, Sister Bing. We couldn't book a room for another day, but Sister Bing was so nice to accommodate me and my friend. My friend and I went to bed late, so I hope we didn't disturb Sister Bing during our stay. Every time we came back, the owner would greet us and say ”I'm back”, which was like going home. I highly recommend it to friends in Lugu Lake, you won't be disappointed! There is also a very cute cat named Big Bear.

The location is super convenient, really close to the bus station. It's about a 20-minute walk to the Old Town. The owner was lovely and even helped us with our luggage. The courtyard is beautiful, and the little cat is absolutely adorable!

Cozy hostel right in the middle of Baisha town. There was lots of information at the front desk about activities in mandarin (I couldn't read it) but the staff were able to help direct me via translator. Beds also had heating pads which made all the difference in the winter!! The only problem was the door to the girls dorm I stayed in had trouble closing which led to a lot of middle of the night slamming, or it being left open and the cold air gets in :/

This hostel is located just outside the old town, a short walk of a few minutes away. Hostels inside the old town often have the drawback of difficult paths, making it easy for suitcase wheels to get damaged. This hostel's female dorms are on the second floor, which feels very secure and isn't noisy. The atmosphere is great; you can play cards together in the evening. They provide free disposable toothbrushes, shampoo, shower gel, and laundry detergent. Most importantly, they offer free drinking water, which is something I've rarely encountered in the many hostels I've stayed at – definitely a big plus! What I loved most, of course, were the two little cats at the hostel. As a cat lover, I spent my days cuddling them, hehe. The nearby bus stop is also just a few minutes' walk away, making it super convenient to take a bus to places like Baisha Old Town and Shuhe Old Town. I ended up staying an extra night because I couldn't get a lower bunk on my train to Kunming. I'm really satisfied with my stay. Of course, the beds are wooden, so a little creaking is unavoidable, but the hostel even provides earplugs. How perfect is that? Off to Kunming for more fun, and I'll definitely stay here again next time, hehe!

The room is very spacious as a whole, and each passenger has his or her own electronic cabinet. You can also play with young people from different places here. The food in the store is also very amazing. There are sweet and savory, and you can see different dishes on the same table. In the evening, they all get together to play board games, and the whole hall is filled with laughter, hahaha. I will come with my friends next time if I have a chance!

The door of the female four-person room could not be closed and opened as soon as the wind blew. I wanted to give a bad review directly, but I thought I should communicate first. So after the communication, the boss changed the room. The door could be closed, but it could not be locked. I just pressed the handle from the outside and the door opened. There was no room card or key, and the door could not be locked. I asked the boss if all the rooms here were like this? The boss said yes, and said that there was surveillance. I was convinced and had nothing to say. He also changed me to another four-person room. I was the only one living there, and it was indeed a single room for one person. Although the price was cheap and it was in the scenic area, I just asked that the door could be locked, not that anyone could open it from the outside. Am I asking too much? I hope the store can repair the door lock in the future, install a lock and match it with a key or room card. It doesn't cost that much, right? The bathroom is relatively old, the walls are moldy, and the facilities are old, but I can accept it. It's okay to take a shower and wash, but it doesn't look comfortable. After all, it's in the scenic area, and it costs a lot to redecorate. But the door lock can't cost that much, right? I feel unsafe. I am afraid of being hit on the waist while sleeping. If you don't believe me, you can go to the store to see if what I said is true or not before booking. But the price is indeed cheap, but I don't think it is necessary to live in Shuhe Ancient Town. There is nothing to visit in this scenic spot. There is no need to come here from a long distance. Lijiang Ancient Town and Shahe Ancient Town are better than this. I don't know if other standard rooms and double bed rooms also have door cards and keys. Anyone can open the door from the outside. But to be honest, the courtyard environment of the hotel is really good. Anyone who sees the courtyard should like it. There are many trees and many tables and chairs to sit in the small courtyard. It is very comfortable and very comfortable. There are two large beds in the public space of the courtyard. It is really comfortable to lie down. That courtyard is really good, and there are cute cats, especially cute and soft fur. There is also a washing machine that seems to be 10 yuan per bucket, which is too expensive, but I didn't scan the code. Maybe no one saw it in the middle of the night and didn't ask me to charge. I still thank the store for letting me wash my clothes for free.

I came here with my friend's family and booked two rooms on the first night. The next day, my friend and his family went back, and we continued to stay here. Because it is the peak tourist season, prices are slowly increasing now. When we extended our stay the next day, the aunt calculated the original price for us! The lady boss is very nice!

It is one of the best environments in Ningxia.
