Inns in Yunnan, China

Absolutely loved the vibe at Songzhu Inn! Waking up to the sun and the scent of flowers in the morning, then chatting and enjoying the breeze in the courtyard in the evening – this is exactly how Lijiang should be. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, offering incredible value for money. The soft furnishings were thoughtfully chosen, making it feel cozy and therapeutic. The service was attentive without being intrusive; they struck the perfect balance of care, which made my trip incredibly comfortable and enjoyable.

This hotel is great! The room looks exactly like the pictures online. The location is super convenient for getting around. They even rent out electric scooters on-site, and the staff are really helpful with directions. As someone from Malaysia who isn't familiar with the area, renting a scooter and following their explanations and maps was no problem at all 😂. They also offer a shuttle service to Lijiang, which is really cost-effective and convenient. They pick you up right at the entrance. You can ask the friendly guys at the front desk – it's truly a one-stop service! 👍🙏 💰 Fair price ✅ 💰 Scooter rental, super cheap ✅ Clean and tidy environment ✅

Facilities: The decor is very ******* in style, with wood being the predominant material in the rooms. It might not have all the amenities of a typical hotel, but it's full of character. Cleanliness: It's quite clean, though there's a faint, elusive yak smell in the hallways (not entirely sure, so beware if you're sensitive to smells); the owner has several cats, which is a huge plus for cat lovers. Environment: The location is right within the ancient town, just over 900 meters from its center. Service: The service is very attentive, and the breakfast is delicious. There were also foreigners staying here. Free airport/high-speed train station/bus station pickup or drop-off: It seems this service is no longer available, but it's very close to the train station, about a 5 km taxi ride, so it won't cost much.

My experience at Shanye Guesthouse far exceeded my expectations! From my room, I had an unobstructed view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The 'golden sun illuminating the mountain' in the early morning was so stunning it left me speechless. Opening the window revealed panoramic views of the ancient city's rooftops and the snow-capped mountains – the atmosphere was absolutely captivating. The guesthouse's attention to detail was also impressive; the smart room controls were incredibly convenient, the room was spotlessly clean, and the bedding was so soft and comfortable, I slept wonderfully. The owner and staff were all super enthusiastic and helpful, answering all my questions and providing tons of practical local travel tips, which meant I avoided any tourist traps. Next time I'm in Lijiang, I'll definitely stay here again!

I had an amazing stay here which was my favourite after travelling to China for a month. Well located in a quieter and more peaceful section of the ancient town. The design of the hotel itself was stunning! Despite the traditional design, the hotel contained completely modern amenities like smart toilets, bed heaters, AC and fast wifi. The highlight though is the exceptional service from the attentive staff and the lovely hotel owner. They are helpful with recommendations, provide pickup service so you don’t have to carry your luggage through the ancient town and overall provides a very homely and comforting atmosphere. I was even invited to dinner and shared fruits, tea and snacks with me! If that isn’t enough to convince you, they also have four super cute cats! Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re coming to Lijiang.

Had an amazing stay in the ancient town! The B&B's location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of the old city, super close to the North Gate. Stepping out, you're immediately in the scenic ancient town, no wasted steps at all. The environment is exceptionally clean and elegant, with a fantastic ambiance that makes you feel relaxed the moment you arrive. A special thank you to the owner for their warm hospitality; the service was incredibly polite and thoughtful. They even kindly upgraded our room for free, giving us more space and comfort – truly a delightful surprise! Encountering such a thoughtful B&B in the Year of the Horse feels like good luck for success is coming my way. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the ancient town. I'll definitely stay here again next time!

Located just outside the north gate of Lijiang Old Town, the location is a big plus — you’re just a short walk into the ancient town, but without the noise and crowds. More importantly, since it’s not inside the old town, it’s very easy to take a cab directly to the doorstep (cars are not allowed within the ancient city), which makes arrival and luggage handling much more convenient. What stood out most was the hospitality. The boss, who is from Tianjin, is incredibly friendly and welcoming — the kind who chats with guests, offers tea, and makes you feel right at home. The courtyard is full of greenery and flowers, creating a calm, cosy space to relax after a day out. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and some areas even offer nice views over the old town.

The location is absolutely perfect! Didi (ride-sharing service) can drop you off right at the entrance. It's a convenient ten-minute walk to the Dukezong Ancient City photo spots. There are also many costume rental shops nearby, which was great for starting my ******* costume experience in the morning and returning the outfits at night. I went to the costume shop recommended by the owner, and I was very satisfied. The owner was incredibly thoughtful and gave me tips for altitude sickness. The guesthouse also provides free shawls, hats, and umbrellas, which was a nice touch. It's a shame the clouds were too thick to see the stars from the room, and I didn't get to use the bathtub as I was worried about altitude sickness. The room is very spacious; I could open two 28-inch suitcases and still have plenty of room to walk around. The room description and photos were accurate. We also thoroughly enjoyed the hot ******* food at the restaurant just down the street, as Malaysians (msia people) we were very impressed.

The hotel was in a very convenient and prime location just at the entrance of Dali Ancient City. There are a lot of food options and convenience stores just right outside the hotel both during the day and at night. The service was inpeccable, with the hotel owner helping to carry my luggage to my room or to the car, or to help me with transport arrangements etc. The room was also clean and cosy, with all the listed amenities. Would recommend for sure!

The hotel has a great location, right in Jianshui Ancient Town, with free parking right outside. The guesthouse is decorated in a very stylish way. The rooms are on the third floor, with a huge living room and a view of the lake near the Confucian Temple – a beautiful view indeed. The rooms are quite large, with a wooden interior design. It's not far from Lotus Island and Xianghui Bridge bus station.
