Very beautiful room with great view of the golden bell. Also really loved the sky light bringing natural lighting into the room from above. The hotel provides transport service to and from the 北门 of the ancient city so you don’t need to worry about having to lug your luggage up the slope. The oxygen machine provided in the room was also a life saver to combat high altitude sickness after a day of sightseeing. Its convenient location within the ancient city also ensured that there was food and drinks easily accessible during our stay. Would highly recommend this hotel!

The hotel is located at the eastern gate of the ancient city of Duquezon in Shangri-La. The Tesco Hotel is located in a convenient location, it is only 3 minutes away from the center of the ancient city. The main part of the B & B is a steel-mixed-earth structure to avoid the sound insulation of the traditional wood structure. Design philosophy is open, innovative, humane and functional, with emphasis on the functioning and spatial organization of the various areas and on the formal beauty of the structure itself. The design is simple and generous, and the space is clean and transparent. The room heating facilities are all water-heating. It is most suitable during the dry season of Shangri-La. There are rest, tea and recreational facilities in the public areas.

Hello everyone,
We’re so glad we chose to stay with you over the past three days. A heartfelt thank you for your warm and friendly hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcome, and we greatly appreciated the personalized service throughout our stay.
We loved feeding the many adorable animals, as well as the stunning view of the snow-covered fields and mountains.
Everything—from the smiles to the thoughtful details, including the delicious snacks, comforting night soup, and fun photo-taking session—made our trip extra special. We had an amazing time!
Thank you once again for making our stay so memorable.

Excellent Management and Hospitality
The owners are incredibly kind and helpful, assisting us throughout our stay. We came here for a relaxed, free-and-easy trip, and this place was perfect for that. Our main goal was to unwind, enjoy the food, experience the culture, and meet the local people—and we truly did.
One of the most helpful services they offer complimentary pick-up and/or transfer, which made a big difference for us as first-time visitors to China. Upon landing in Kunming, we were able to head straight to Shangri-La without any stress.
They also gave us lots of useful advice and even provided herbal drinks to help prevent acute mountain sickness, which we really appreciated given the altitude.
They hooked us up with their electric motorbike so we could cruise around the old town — such a cool way to explore!
For first-time visitors or those who prefer to plan their trip upon arrival, there are several partner agencies offering reasonably priced travel packages. It’s a great setup for a stress-free and enjoyable journey.
Definitely will come back again!

The B&B environment is great, the rooms are clean, the owner is very enthusiastic, and the projector in the room is large and clear. Humidifiers work great. The courtyard of the homestay is very design-oriented and very photogenic, and the courtyard is very large. The afternoon tea is rich and the snacks are delicious. The location of the B&B is also very good. It is right in the ancient city. It only takes a few minutes to walk to the prayer wheels.

We started our journey from KUNMING to Dali and from DALI to LIJIANG, LIJIANG to SHANGRILA. This hotel provided us the warmest welcome. Super pleasant and helpful staffs that provided excellent services. Room is clean and floor heater is provided. Although the hotel is under some minor renovation but nothing much to be affected. We are so suprise that the hotel have a 360 degrees roof balcony. Excellent overview of whole SHANGRILA no matter day or night. Breakfast is delicious serve with porridge, bread toast, eggs omelet, and coffee. We are 100% satisfied and happy to stay there. We believe that after the renovation, the hotel will be more gorgeous. Keep up good job mate, thank you for your warmest hospitality. Very much appreciate. All the best in future. Take care. Cheers 😀👍

I stayed at this hotel for two nights and had a wonderful time there. The staff is friendly and caring. I regret that I forgot to hug them before I left. The hotel has washing and drying machines. The rooms are spacious and clean. The restaurant in the hotel is also fantastic. Reasonable price and good taste.
The ladies in the kitchen almost made me cry by offering me something special that I will never forget. Their kind gesture made me love the people of Shangri-la even more.
I highly recommend this hotel to everyone!

AAdem RonoWe felt at home since being picked up at the train station by the hotel(pre-arranged earlier). The owner welcomed us warmly by greeting us with the white scarves once we arrived at the hotel. The hotel also helped us with the bag to our room located on the 3rd floor. We chose this hotel just to feel the farm stay vibe of China and we are glad we chose it in the first place. The rooms we booked were big and enough to accommodate 4 of us. It has a heated floor and, bathtubs in the room, we find it odd but the children love it, a warm ventilated shower(the temperature of the shower room can be controlled), a smart toilet (the toilet rim is heated and it is so convenient to use, especially in winter). They provided also the room with a tea set, mandarin oranges, sweet snacks, and enough toilet amenities. The hotel also provided Yunnan with traditional dress at the GF to be used by the guests. Halal food for breakfast was good. The hotel also offered us a ride to Dukezong Ancient City twice. The. We came back to the hotel by using didi.
Only one thing maybe can be improved the pillow is a bit thin but it is not a big problem for us. Overall we were amazed by the hospitality and the effort put in by the hotel owner and all of its staff. We wish to come back here in another season. Love from Malaysia.

VVy Anh NguyenThis is by far the best hotel I stayed at during my trip to China. The hotel is equipped with all modern amenities, especially the toilet with an automatic bidet (something that’s not found anywhere else in China). The room was incredibly cozy with modern heating facilities, and the host even provided an oxygen machine (though I didn’t actually need to use it). I truly felt that it was worth every penny for the two nights I spent here.
One of the highlights was the adorable and friendly Ragdoll cat that lives here! The hotel owner even allowed us to bring the cat into our room to play, and it was just so sweet and playful.
Moreover, the host offered us a free pick-up and drop-off service at both the train station and the airport, even though it was 7 in the morning! I honestly have no complaints about this hotel. If you want to enjoy a fantastic stay in Shangrila, book this hotel now!

WWan ArmiyatiWe had a great 2 nights stay in this hotel. Our room is 205 it had a big window and the view is overlooking parts of the mountains. Outstanding! We love it so much! Fellow Malaysians I recommend you this hotel. Walking distance to old town and halal restaurants are easy to find on the way. I would like to express my gratitude to all the hotel staffs. They were really amazing and help us a lot during our stay. We felt so touch by their kind action. A nice guy staff even help us do the laundry. A nice beautiful lady Xian walk with us to show us halal yak’s meat restaurant and later bring us to the e-bike rental place. Xian also helps to call and arrange with our hotel in Lijiang. We practically asked her for help with everything 😆. During our stay in Shangri-la we went skiing at Shangri-la ski park and Napahai valley the next day.The hotel provide pickup and drop off service to the train station which we find it so convenient. Breakfast also nice i love the steamed Mantau. All hotels staff always smiling at us and we felt so welcome. Hotel room was clean and big and had nice view. We also had time for photo-shoot with the display costume at the lobby for free. Please choose this hotel you wont regret i promise you ❤️

The hotel is supper clean, feel like home to me. It looks exactly like the pictures. The host is very supportive. He suggested 3 local restaurant for us to try during our 3 days here, and not one I can complain, both were supper nice, great dishes and not expensive. He even drove us to the airport early in the morning free of charge.
Really recommend this hotel.

ZZhuozhuoerdehuanyoushijie✨A treasured accommodation that I found when I first came to Shangri-La~
Rather than accommodation, it is a resort that integrates tents + hot springs + horseback riding + boating + sightseeing. The location is very close to Pudacuo. We came here directly after playing in Pudacuo.
The video in Figure 1 is the night view of the camp. There are many paths covered with light strips. It is beautiful but I can't take pictures haha
Figures 2, 7 and 8 are the calves and lambs raised by the camp team. They are still small and very cute. It is very easy to rub after getting familiar with the calves and lambs!
Figure 4 is the interior of the room, modern and simple style, large and clean. It is worth praising the bedding, which is very soft and comfortable. There is a portable heating air conditioner next to the bed, and the living experience is still very good!
Figures 3 and 5 are the hot springs. The team provided us with hot spring fruits and bath towels very considerately. The service is first-class
Figure 9 is the breakfast, which is rich and delicious, and there are small round buns made by the chef sister. Figure 10 Good night milk, it should be fresh yak milk, it is still hot when it is delivered, very considerate.
All of the above are free. There are also barbecue, horseback riding, boating and off-road vehicles for a fee. We didn't play them because we were in a hurry. Overall, no matter in terms of hygiene, service, comfort or anything else, it is impeccable, especially the service of the butler, which is very thoughtful and enthusiastic. I am very picky about hotels, and this one is one of the few that I can't find any fault with. Recommended to stay~~
GGuest UserAirport pick-up/high-speed rail pick-up: There is a pick-up service, which is very good
Facilities: There are facilities for feeding, and you will not feel uncomfortable when you rest at night
Hygiene: Very clean and tidy, it is worth recommending for people with high hygiene requirements
Service: There are souvenirs when you check out, which is really good
Next to the court, you can see the ancient city from the room

Environment: The environment is very good. It is near the north gate of the ancient city. You can see the snow-capped mountains at the door. You can reach the ancient city within two steps.
Service: There is fruit afternoon tea. The lady is very enthusiastic and takes the initiative to help with luggage. She also makes breakfast. The rice noodles are delicious. There is also pick-up and drop-off from the airport high-speed rail station. It is very convenient to answer any requests~

GGuest UserThe best thing about this hotel is the view from the room. Unfortunately, that's as good as it gets! I really don't understand why it has such good reviews as I don't think it deserves them. Our room was really dirty - the first thing I saw when I walked in was dirt on the floor and clumps of hair in the corner by the furniture as well as hair on the floor. The most revolting thing was the bath mat on the floor - the parts of it that should have been white were a very dirty brown - it obviously hadn't been washed in many months. The ”fitted” sheets on the bed had bleach stains on them and they didn't fit the bed properly as they didn't tuck under the mattress which meant it came loose during the night. The mattress was very uncomfortable (hard and lumpy) - there was no mattress protector on the bed or protectors on the pillows. The walls are paper thin and, unfortunately, we had three very loud and excitable young women next door to us who talked and laughed very loudly until after midnight on all three nights we were there. The room wasn't serviced for the 3 nights we were there and we had to ask for extra toilet paper and water as they didn't put any in on the first day. We also had to empty our own bins and ask them to come and collect them from outside our door. The staff were friendly enough, but they seemed to spend all day on their phones lounging around in the rather untidy and dirty looking reception area. All the common areas were dirty too - the staircase hadn't been vacuumed any time recently as there was dirt on every stair. The place has a very neglected and uncared for feel about it which is a real pity as it could be lovely if some time and effort was put into making it clean and tidy and updating the furniture and bedding. It seems that the staff are very bored with their jobs and have no interest in keeping the place nice for customers.

The owner also offered to send the luggage back to north gate, even though we already checked out hours ago.
Thank you very much for the hospitality. (Forgot to take pictures in the room, but it was exactly las advertised) really recommended.

MMUHAMAD AKMALHad a pleasant stay at this hotel. For the rate that we paid which included the railway pick up and breakfast, we have no complaint at all. On top of that, as we arrived earlier than the usual check in time, the hotel was gracious enough to allow us for early check in. It was a short drive from the railway station to the hotel. The communications were done via wechat and it was all smooth as we can communicate using the wechat translator.
Our room were located on the third floor. It was steep stairs but we managed. The room was spacious enough for both of us. It has all the basic necessities and clean. There was also heated bed which was good as it was cold in Shangrila. The hotel also have luggage storage after check out which was good as we could continue exploring the city until it was time to take our train in the late afternoon. As for the breakfast, it was served at a diner across the street. There were mutliple set breakfast choices. Simple breakfast but technically it was enough for us as we dont have much option anyway as a muslim with specific food requirement. Croissant, eggs and fruits were good enough with tea and coffee.
The location of the hotel is really near to the Dukezong Ancient Town. Less than 5 minutes walk. It was rather convenient as we went back to the ancient town at the night time and has no trouble to find our way back to the hotel by foot. Also it is easy to get public transport at the area.
The hotel really looks photogenic ni the pictures especially at night time when all the lights were on.
