Very clean and the host will top up the amenities if needed. The inn is very close to the ancient town, just need a bit walk downstairs and you'll reach the small river.

Highly highly recommend this hotel in Lijiang!! Cleanliness ✨ All areas of the hotel are clean and well maintained. The cleaners come to replace the towels and fold the beds daily so you can be rest assured that you’re staying in a hygienic environment 💗💗 Location 📍 Very convenient to explore Lijiang Old Town as the hotel is located right near its centre. It’s also in a quite convenient location to explore the rest of Lijiang. Service 🌟 Usually I find hotel services to be simply satisfactory but on this trip I was super impressed with the service provided by Leye Hotel. Not only did they have complimentary airport/railway pick-up and drop-off service (rare to see these days!) but they also created a WeChat group to communicate with us about activities offered by the hotel and tours of interest! We had a bit of a chaotic trip with one of us getting food poisoning and another getting altitude sickness and having to go to the hospital so it was very kind and professional of them to accompany us to the hospital. Amenities 🥰 Expect all the amenities you would from a larger 4-5 star chain hotel including shampoo/conditioner + free toiletries + fancy automatic toilet 🤭🤭 The rooms are spacious ranging from twin beds to three double beds so they can meet a variety of needs. They also have complimentary breakfast buffet with all the necessary staples but I highly recommend their rice noodles which had the perfect bouncy texture 🤤🤤 Bonus 😍 The hotel also has complimentary afternoon tea and tea service perfect for a more relaxed day. There’s also a tea making experience where you can see how Pu’er tea (the specialty of the region!) is made and get some as a souvenir to take home 🥰🥰 If I could I’d give them 88888888 stars out of 10 😹😹 I’ll definitely be returning for my next stay in Lijiang!! 🥰🥰

One of My Best Stay Experiences—Authentic & Unforgettable This was one of my most memorable hotel stays, and I’ve stayed at many top-tier, five-star hotels around the world. While this may not be the most luxurious in terms of facilities, it more than makes up for it with its genuine charm and warmth. The owner was incredibly friendly, making us feel like we were staying at a friend’s home rather than a hotel. This welcoming vibe perfectly complements the enchanting atmosphere of this beautiful ancient city. The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially from our top-floor room. The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience, offering a spectacular panorama of the old town and surrounding mountains. The location is ideal—perched on a small hill, it provides an elevated vantage point for those stunning views, though the short uphill walk may be a slight effort due to the altitude. But trust me, it’s worth it. If you’re visiting Lijiang to immerse yourself in its relaxed beauty and rich culture, there’s no better place to stay. I originally booked for three nights but quickly realized I’d need more time—next visit, I’m planning a full week to truly unwind and soak it all in. This isn’t a place to rush; it’s a place to slow down, savor the moment, and let the magic of Lijiang embrace you. I can’t wait to return.

LLendanearFamily owned Hotel inside the ancient city boundaries. Quaint Tea House style hotel that doesn’t quite pull it off. The owner and her staff are lovely and will do anything to help you but the rooms are very small and run down. It is the old town and they are restricted by government ordinances, but it just appears old. I think there are many better hotels around but most likely at a premium in price.
NNicheng1688666Environment: The lobby is bright and spacious, with stylish decor. There are gardens both in front and behind the hotel, and you can see snow-capped mountains from the hotel – it's truly a comfortable stay.
Cleanliness: The room is neat and clean. The hotel even has a Samoyed dog, and everything is still very hygienic. Sanjin (the dog) is adorable and silly.
Facilities: The room has a refrigerator, and the vanity is huge, perfect for getting ready with a friend. The hotel sells drinks, and it's so relaxing to have a drink at the hotel when you have some free time.
Service: Every staff member, both the ladies and gentlemen, made me feel welcome. They were also very loving towards my dog, and Sanjin was very friendly. They offer afternoon tea and cherries, and since I booked for three nights, they even gave us a free ride to the airport.
This stay more than made up for the discomfort I experienced at other hotels the previous two days. From now on, when I visit Lijiang again, I will only stay at this hotel, whether I'm relaxing here or going out to explore. It's very convenient, the hotel has beautiful scenery, the rooms are spacious, and it's close to all the popular attractions! Thank you so much for your care these past few days!!
GGuest UserOur first stop in Yunnan gave us a fantastic experience!
The free airport pickup was super reliable. The driver contacted us in advance and was already waiting for us at the exit. The car was clean and tidy.
Upon arriving at the Old Town entrance, staff were already there waiting. They transported our luggage by tricycle, and a staff member walked us to the guesthouse, introducing us to its facilities and offering travel tips along the way.
The room was spacious and well-equipped. Both beds were huge, and the bathroom was also massive. It was very comfortable and roomy for two adults and two children. There was both underfloor heating and air conditioning, which was a real plus as Yunnan nights in winter can be quite chilly. The underfloor heating made it much cozier.
From some angles on the second floor, the view overlooking the Old Town was excellent. The panoramic shot of the Old Town in the pictures was taken from there.
Shifang Street, which is very lively, is just a short walk from the guesthouse. Mufu and the Grand Waterwheel are also within walking distance. It truly lives up to the saying, 'step out into bustling streets, return to peaceful serenity.'
The afternoon tea every day was exquisite, especially the latte – I absolutely loved the delicate latte art! Breakfast was served until 11 AM, which was perfect for us 'lying flat' travelers.
There are so many guesthouses in the Old Town, it was overwhelming choosing one, but I'm so glad we picked this one. Highly recommended! 👍
II’m going places**Excellent Stay with Outstanding Hospitality**
I had a wonderful experience during my recent stay at Liqiang. From the moment I arrived, the level of service exceeded my expectations.
The highlight of my visit was the exceptional hospitality provided by our host, Mr. Sing, who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. He was incredibly caring and attentive throughout our stay, taking the time to help arrange our itinerary and providing valuable local insights.
Mr. Sing's assistance was invaluable - he personally helped us with our luggage from the main entrance all the way up to the hotel, which we greatly appreciated. His local knowledge really enhanced our trip, as he introduced us to excellent dining options and guided us to the best shopping areas in the vicinity.
The genuine care and attention to detail shown by our host Mr. Sing made our stay not just comfortable, but truly memorable. I would highly recommend Liqiang to anyone looking for a place that combines good accommodations with outstanding personal service.
Thank you to Mr. Sing for making our visit so enjoyable!
GGuest User11/10, hospitality excellency is off the charts. from the start till the end of our stay, we felt very taken care of. we got to enjoy one of two delicious breakfast options every morning, and the host will always serve us tea and chat with us when he’s able to. knowing that we’re international guests, he would also go the extra mile to help us coordinate with the local drivers and guides (e.g. with our Jade Dragon Snow Mountain day tour guide) to help us ensure our trip is as smooth-sailing as possible. on that note of our JDSM day tour, since it started very early in the morning (before their usual breakfast timing), the host even prepared bread and milk for us so that we can still have breakfast before going up the mountain. throughout our stay, there have been many instances like that where we could feel the genuine hospitality services by the host!
the location is also very convenient, because it’s not too far from the main Sifang Square of the Lijiang Old Town while also being relatively near to the car drop-off/pick-up point (cars aren’t able to enter the Old Town). and of course, the view you can get from your room is amazing, being able to overlook the town and also see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. will highly recommend this place!
GGuest UserThis is truly the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. The hotel view is crazy beautiful, every corner of the lobby and room, and the place is super well designed. The bath tub wasn’t too exposed thru the window, water was FAST AND WARM (which is not a given in all hotels in our experience) and just every part of the room was well thought through.
Beyond that truly the hotel team was EXCEPTIONAL in their service!!
From the start they contacted me early prior to the trip, and even helped organize our ride from the train station to the hotel really late the night before our stay. They were prompt to answer all my questions and give me info in advance even before I anticipated needing to ask for the info. All through my stay, they were so available and sweet in all their replies to my many questions on WeChat. During our jade dragon mountain trip, which we had to leave the hotel at 5.30am, andthey prepped a little to go breakfast for us, even when the normal bfast timing was 8-10am, so we’d have some fueling for the long day.
My partner fell really sick during the trip. This is where their service really touched me. Firstly they helped warm up some food I got him. And then, they helped provide us a thermometer to check his temperature and when we found he was having q a high fever, they recommended we go to the hospital, prepped the ride for us for free and even gave us their own hand warmers and blankets for him to stay warm on the way to the hospital. Navigating bringing him to the hospital alone in a foreign country (he was v out of it) was also really nerve wrecking, and the team was INCREDIBLY kind and informative and helpful throughout the journey. Truly every single one on the team were just so excellent and kind and helpful and agh wish I could have hugged all of u before I left, thank u so much
GGuest UserThe hotel is in a fantastic location, right in the heart of the Old Town, super close to Sifang Street and the Bar Street. It's really convenient for getting around and exploring, plus you get amazing panoramic views of Lijiang Old Town. We had two rooms that even came with a private terrace – perfect for enjoying tea and chatting, so relaxing!
GGuest User🌟 The hotel service was incredibly attentive, making my stay exceptionally comfortable! The views were also great, and it was wonderfully quiet. I even enjoyed afternoon tea, and the best part was the stunning terrace overlooking the entire Lijiang Old Town – perfect for photos! I feel like if I get the chance to visit Lijiang again, I'd definitely come back here. The owner was also very kind.
Wwally8Banyan Tree's service is never overtly enthusiastic or intrusive; instead, it's a subtle and thoughtful comfort that permeates everything. Upon arrival, the concierge proactively took my luggage and offered a warm welcome drink. Check-in was efficient and seamless, with no tedious waiting throughout. Before my stay, the butler called ahead to inquire about my needs and meticulously noted my preferences, showcasing an incredible attention to detail.
The 24-hour butler service was always on call and responded promptly and efficiently. The turn-down service was ceremonial; in addition to tidying up, they presented unique small gifts like Dongba script bookmarks. Occasionally, there were delightful surprises like rose milk foot soaks or coarse salt hot compresses, adding a wonderful touch of warmth. Whether I wanted to switch to a latex pillow, request express room service, or book a travel photoshoot or spa, I just had to contact the butler via WeChat, and every request was met with a response and promptly addressed, feeling as attentive and considerate as family.
GGuest UserThe room facing the street was quite quiet, which was nice. The front desk has a coffee machine, and you can ask the staff to prepare drinks for you as needed.
The front desk staff was very enthusiastic and proactively offered us travel advice. Parking allows one exit within a 24-hour period, so plan your outings accordingly.
It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the Old Town Windmill, maybe because I walk a bit slowly, but it's definitely not just a few minutes away.
The room is equipped with smart home features, and the quality of items like tissues is quite good, showing that the owner has high standards for the amenities provided.
