See photos for actual location. Well located near all the sights in old Shangri-La. Close to the North Gate. The address In Amap shows you a closed inn. The dorm bed was very comfortable either a good curtain and light and power. The room is spacious. Fresh bedding was provided for you to make your bed. Disposable towels only. There is one shower in the women’s bathroom. I don’t think it has ever been cleaned. The bin was emptied but the grime was not cleaned. All the toilet area, basin area, and floors everywhere were not cleaned. They need to employ a full time cleaner to stay on top of it. Empty cat food containers, abandoned personal products, abandoned towels, hair, dust and pervasive smoke from the common area. A good clean would improve significantly.

I highly recommend Yuetiao Youth Hostel! The location is superb, right by the North Gate of Dukezong Ancient City. It's just a few minutes' walk to Moonlight Square and Guishan Park, and it's incredibly convenient for carpooling to Deqin and Feilai Temple. The rooms are clean and tidy, with privacy curtains for each bed and individual lockers, providing a great sense of security. The common lounge has an amazing atmosphere, full of backpackers and hikers, making it easy to find travel companions. The owner, Brother Ming, is an experienced outdoor enthusiast who knows all the routes in Shangri-La and along the Meili Snow Mountain area. He patiently offers travel advice and helps arrange carpools. There's 24-hour hot water, and self-service laundry and drying facilities are available. This hostel is a top choice for solo travelers and hiking enthusiasts, offering great value for money. It's the perfect place to stay when you visit Shangri-La!

The host was very friendly and the location was great. There was only one bathroom for the whole floor. Guests smoke nonstop in the hall despite of the non-smoking sign.
