Stayed in Xingzhi for two nights. On the first night in Lijiang, it was cloudy, and we couldn't see any scenery, so we booked an ordinary double room with a bathtub - "maybe"; on the second night, depending on the weather, it might be sunny, so we stayed in a big bed room with a view on the top floor, "carpe diem".
"Carpe diem":
[Outside the window] 👍The scenery is invincible. On one side is the city view of Lijiang Old Town, watching the clouds during the day and the lights of the mountaintop homestay at night; on the other side is the snow-capped mountains. Views can be enjoyed from tea seats, bathtubs and lying down. I like the teahouse the most. Because the ancient city of Lijiang is actually not interesting, sitting in the house drinking tea and looking at the snow-capped mountains is excellent.
[Indoor] 👍Spacious design with strong sense. It is worthy of being a designer hotel. Whether it is an ordinary twin room or a viewing room on the top floor of Carpe Die, they all have a sense of design (except for the bathroom area), and you can also take pictures indoors. A hotel with a sense of design will increase the fun and sense of substitution of travel, and constitute one of the important experience parts of travel, which is one of the main reasons why I booked this hotel. After all, I often travel on business, and I don't want to stay in a functional hotel anymore.
[Garden] 👍Although it is small, it is a very Zen garden.
【Service】👍 Very good. The guy in charge of the reception, although cool, picked us up at the parking lot when we checked in, and helped us with our luggage (the stone roads in the ancient city are really hard to walk); knowing that we are going to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, we are afraid of rebellion when we come back, so we prepared in advance Afternoon tea relieves high fever.
[Location] 👍Excellent. First of all, it is a rare homestay that can see the scenery; it is not halfway up the mountain to the west. Viewing B&Bs are mostly in Lion Mountain, and going up and down will be tiring. When I first wanted to book a viewing room, I was particularly entangled. I am 40 years old and have no physical strength. This one is on the east side, and you can enjoy the scenery without climbing the mountain. Once I found it, I immediately placed an order. Secondly, the few places to go out are Huaxiang, Lan Coffee, etc., which are located deep in the ancient city, quiet and convenient to go anywhere.
[Breakfast] is relatively simple. Rice noodles and some whole grains. Among the 5 hotels in this trip, the easiest one. However, the bowl of noodles for breakfast is quite comfortable to eat.
[Several small shortcomings] ①Because "Carpe Die" is on the top floor and faces windows on three sides, the original wooden structure has natural gaps due to thermal expansion and contraction. In addition, the room area and ceiling space are large, so heating is a problem. In addition to the central air conditioner, the room also has a cabinet and a floor electric heater. And still stretched. Shivering at night. If everyone moves in when it's warmer, it shouldn't be a big problem. ② It would be nice if the towels can be renewed more frequently, or the cleaning method should be changed. During this trip, I stayed in 5 hotels/homestays. The towel disinfectant of this hotel has the strongest smell, especially after getting wet.
