Hotels 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."

"Owner is very helpful and the rooms are big. Like the quiet and peaceful surrounding. It is very close to eatery and old town. Convenient to take didi as well. Highly recommended for family trip."

"The location of the B&B is very good, right in the ancient city. The room is very clean, large and spacious, which is very rare. You can add an extra bed. The rooms in other B&Bs in the ancient city are very small. The owner and the proprietress are very nice and welcoming. There is a platform for taking photos and checking in on the roof of the B&B. You can see the whole ancient city. The scenery is very good! Very good treasure B&B"

"My wife and I visited Lijiang for the first time, and our stay at this place truly enhanced our trip. The location is incredibly convenient for exploring the Old Town. The panoramic views overlooking the Old Town are simply breathtaking. In the evenings, after a stroll back from the bar street, we'd sit on the viewing platform for a bit, enjoying a beer with my wife and watching the city lights twinkle below. While the music from the bar street can be quite lively, you won't hear a thing once you're inside your room (personally verified in Room 216!). Breakfast is provided. On our check-out day, I spent a blissful hour and a half enjoying breakfast on the viewing platform, just completely lost in thought. The photos I've shared were taken during that time. And now, for the most important part! If you're visiting for the first time, definitely contact the owner beforehand. They'll help with your luggage and even pick you up at the main road to ensure you don't get lost. These aren't amenities you'd necessarily expect, but the owner thoughtfully arranged them all. The owner also recommended and arranged an Ancient Tea Horse Road tour, which was fantastic! It included round-trip transfers, and the owner even personally took us to the pick-up point – I honestly wouldn't have found the meeting point without him. He also helped us book a shared shuttle to Lugu Lake. There are so many other thoughtful details, but I won't list them all here. Seriously, just add him on WeChat!"

"Located just around the perimeter of Lijiang ancient town north entrance. It gives me a superb convenience to take my journey within and outside of the ancient town. The guest house is directly linked to a coffee shop so you can enjoy sipping the famous Yunnan coffee in their courtyard if you don't feel like going out. I booked a 3 nights stay with Song Zhu Ju and had a very quiet and peaceful experience all day even though it's very near the supposed busy streets. Spending a few moments reading in the courtyard became my every night routine before bed because it is just too serene. Also 阿飞, the lady managers and staffs are very friendly and takes care of us. I liked the fresh persimmons so much from the guest treat. Breakfast is simple yet balanced, not overwhelming until you can't take your food journey elsewhere in Lijiang, so I think that's great. I personally had their meal and it lasted my entire Jade Dragon Snow Mountain trip till dinner Can't wait for my next Lijiang trip. Will definitely choose them again."

"This homestay really didn't disappoint me. The decoration style is the type I like. The flowers and plants in the yard and the decoration of the room are very distinctive. Traveling around is also very convenient, the boss is also very good, and any needs will be met as much as possible. Brothers and sisters come to Lijiang to choose his home."

"The staff were helpful and friendly, but the hotel is in serious need of renovation. The photos online are outdated and don’t match the actual rooms. In my room, the wardrobe was blocked by the bed, so I couldn’t use it. There was no real space to unpack, just a small portable hanger. I was relieved to stay only two nights. The balcony is covered, which should be clearly mentioned in the description. The kitchenette was very small with only a kettle and two paper cups — not really usable. The fridge was tiny, unplugged when I arrived, and didn’t cool properly. The bathroom was cramped, with no space to hang towels or set down toiletries. There was no hand soap or small towels. The shower area had a warming light and towel hooks, but once used, everything stayed wet. Basic toiletries like body wash, shampoo, and conditioner were provided. The hotel has great potential. The location is excellent, the staff are wonderful, and the courtyard and large villa are nice features. However, I’d only recommend staying here after the facilities have been upgraded. The note is down a steep sets of stairs. The staff came to meet us at the top and help with our luggage when we arrived and when we left."

"Our family of nine had the most incredible stay here. The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed, and perfectly clean, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. The highlight was definitely waking up to the stunning mountain views each morning — absolutely unforgettable. It was the perfect place for our family to relax, reconnect, and enjoy peaceful surroundings. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a scenic and serene getaway!"

"I absolutely loved the guesthouse's overall decor and ambiance, especially their charming little garden. It was incredibly relaxing to just sit there and sip tea. As for cleanliness, the 'Ayi' (cleaning lady) tidied up every day. The rooms even came with a humidifier and an air purifier – such thoughtful touches! Big thumbs up 👍🏻. Xiao Lu and Long Ge were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They not only assisted us in planning our itinerary but also recommended amazing local eateries. They even enthusiastically invited us to a bar to hang out – so much fun! 😂 And last but certainly not least, out of all my past accommodation experiences, their breakfast was hands down the best I've ever had! Seriously, my main motivation to wake up early every morning was to enjoy the delicious rice noodles prepared by the 'Ayi'! I stayed for several days and happily ate it every single morning, haha. Oh, and their pickled radishes are also incredibly tasty! The breakfast is clearly made with so much care and offers a great variety. If you're visiting, you absolutely *must* try their breakfast."

"I am very satisfied with the room! If I come to Lijiang again, I will definitely book it again! Being able to choose this room really adds extra points to this trip! My companions have been praising me for choosing a good one! Service: We arrived very late that day, but there was still a special car to pick us up, and there was also a special housekeeper to help us transport from the car to the homestay, which was super considerate! Sanitation: The sanitation is very clean. As a person who travels frequently, it is really nice to have such a sanitation service experience at such a price! Facilities: The facilities are very complete, and the heating will be turned on in advance in winter! It is super warm when you enter the room! Service: The service is amazing! There are housekeepers and aunties 24 hours a day. If you want to wash clothes, you can talk to the housekeeper or aunt, and they will help you wash and dry the clothes and send them to your room at night [Such service is really considerate, so you can go out and play with peace of mind]"
