Fantastic hotel that I would pickagain in a heartbeat! Not only is the hotel very stylish, designed and decorated very thoughtfully. The surrounding is very pleasant and soothing in midst of a buzzing street. But where my biggest compliment goes to is the service. The staff at Arula J is not only one but many extra miles to make the stay an unforgettable one. No wish was left unfulfilled! I would definitely stay here again next time!

Such a fantastic discovery in Lijiang! We stayed 3 nights in this new B & B and its decor, service and security all equivalent to hotel standard. It is in a super location. Moreover the boss was very generous and gave us complimentary drinks.

Very well located hotel at the edge of Lijiang Ancient Town providing walking distance to main attractions and also tranquility for a good night sleep. Room was well equipped and very clean. We really enjoyed the great service providing tips and help through WeChat and offering free laundry service. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Lijiang Ancient Town.

The hotel is very good. The coffee, snacks and sweet soup provided are all delicious and freshly made. The breakfast is a small but exquisite buffet, and everything is very good. The most impressive thing is the service attitude. We are afraid of mosquitoes, so we told the front desk, and the girl directly bought a screen net online and put it on for us on the same day. We remember this hotel brand, and we will stay in its hotels next time if we have the chance!

Location: An unexpected surprise. The hotel is very close to Zhongyi Night Market. From the side door of the hotel, you can reach Lijiang Ancient Town. It takes only 1 minute to walk to the night market. It is very convenient to eat and go shopping every night. The main entrance of the hotel faces the road, which is very convenient for unloading luggage. It is just that you have to park somewhere else, and it only takes 3 minutes to walk. Environment: The hotel owner is strong, elegant and stylish. The whole hotel is surrounded by water, winding paths, and the scenery changes with every step. I didn’t even want to go out for two consecutive days. It was like being in a paradise, quiet, peaceful, elegant, and quiet. Every afternoon, I can drink afternoon tea while watching the staff feed the deer, like going to the zoo. Food: Breakfast is semi-self-service, with a wide variety of categories. I like the little yellow cattle rice noodles, dry yogurt, and a kind of cheese 🧀 like mango, which is sweet and delicious. For afternoon tea, I like coconut American, freshly squeezed carrot and apple juice, and freshly baked Madeleine, which is very fragrant. Surprise: The highest platform of the hotel overlooks the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and in the morning you can also watch the sunrise over Jinshan. Occasionally you can see beautiful birds dancing briskly by the water. I recommend a water view room with a small terrace, where you can sit outside to smoke and enjoy the view, which is particularly pleasant. The hotel's rose varieties are very well selected, is it a pink dragon? Blue storm? Super large, lush and gorgeous. Service: My housekeeper is the strawberry gardener, beautiful, lovely and kind! Every other service staff is very individual, capable, patient and enthusiastic, and professional in answering questions. The overall quality is very high, very young, very enthusiastic and energetic, and it is really full of praise. Everyone works in such a beautiful hotel, and the magnetic field energy has been greatly improved. We stayed for two days and were reluctant to check out. I am really happy to recharge myself here🔋! I have never written such a long review. This is the best and most unforgettable hotel I have ever stayed in. Thank you to the big boss for building such a good paradise, quiet in the bustle, and bringing full energy to each of our travelers. Thank you!

Very good hotel! First, the location is right next to the ancient city of Lijiang. There is a bus stop not far from the main entrance. There is a 101 bus to Yulong Snow Mountain. The side door is in the ancient city, close to Mufu and Zhongyi Market. Second, the environment inside the hotel, there are many water-friendly platforms, the building retains some of the original style of the Sifang Temple Fair, and there is a cute sika deer inside. I took a lot of beautiful photos in the hotel. Third, the room layout, the shower room has three or two shower switches, one is outside, you can run water first, and then go in to take a shower when it is warm. The washbasin provides a face towel, which is much more convenient than paper towels! Fourth, the hotel service, every waiter I met was very enthusiastic, and they asked about my well-being during the few days I stayed in the hotel. The thoughtful airport pick-up service and clothes delivery service provided great convenience for my journey!

My friend and I decided to book our trip a week in advance. We chose this hotel after a comprehensive review. I didn't expect the staff to be so enthusiastic. After contacting us in advance, they also recommended fun and delicious places nearby. I felt very friendly for the whole two days. qwq Everyone was very nice~ The accommodation and food were very comfortable. There was a fresh fruit plate and goodnight tea every day. I drank different ones in two days. They were all very attentive~ The hotel also had a color research activity. I went to play on the first day of my stay. It was very comfortable to sit on the corridor and paint. After the painting, they would help us frame it and pack it and send it to the room. It was heavy and textured! There was a lady next to us to help us pass the paint and water The hotel also raised sika deer. I happened to meet them before leaving! Very cute! My friend and I were too lazy to peel the fruit and casually said that the fruit plate was cut when it was delivered the next day. It was very attentive! We just lay on the bed and ate while watching TV. It was very comfortable. Breakfast is in the form of ordering and buffet. There are many choices and they are all very delicious. The portion is just right. There are many local specialties to order. The environment is very comfortable and quiet. We drank coffee before leaving. They also gave us pistachio cakes. They were all made on the spot. I felt the care. The details were very sufficient. It was a great accommodation experience. I will recommend it to friends who come later. I love you for your hard work.
