Inns in Yunnan, China

The room smelled heavily of cigarettes, and there were hairs on the sheets and pillowcases, which was disgusting, but everything else was worth the price. The proprietress was nice, the inn facilities were very thoughtful, the details of the public areas were carefully arranged, the location was good, the price/performance ratio was high, and there were not so many bars in the ancient town to bother you when you go to bed at night.

Our host Ah Fei was very welcoming and extremely helpful from the beginning until the end of my stay. The service was superb, they helped out with luggage pick up and I was arrived late at night and very thankful for the late night pick up service at the train station 🙏🏻. This hotel is within Lijiang Old Town, cars can’t comes in and just right outside the north gate. There is plenty of restaurant, very accessible and easily for those who take a day tour for the tour guide to pick you up from here and wait at the main road. Overall it was a pleasant stay, they provided guest with a welcome tea and fruits. The hotel has a beautiful courtyard. The room is clean and comfortable. Will recommend this hotel to others.

This courtyard guesthouse is super close to the South Gate of Dali Ancient City, easily reachable in about five or six minutes on foot. It's really convenient for getting to Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. If you're not driving, besides taxis, there's also public transportation available. There's a direct shuttle bus to Cangshan, and you can take the C2 bus to Erhai. Dining options are plentiful and very convenient, right across from the main gate of the ancient city. The owner couple are very warm and provide excellent service. We're a family of three and chose the triple room, which was very spacious and we were extremely satisfied. Definitely worth choosing!

The B&B is small but very cozy, and it has a lovely little courtyard. However, the bed in the room was quite hard, which made it uncomfortable for me to sleep on. This is a great season to visit Yunnan; the temperature drops to a few degrees at night but reaches over ten degrees Celsius during the day.

Very good value for money. Room is clean and comfortable, with big TV and fully functional air conditioning or heating. Beds were comfortable and sufficient hot water and good water pressure in the shower. Directly on old town street and really close to Zhu family garden. Owner is friendly and dropped us off at the train station for free!

The place looks exactly like the picture. Very beautiful. The room was included with towels and basic amenities. They also provide me hair dryers (yes, multiple), air humidifier and indoor slippers. My room is also equipped with smart toilet, which comes with seat warmer and bidet. This place is also located very close to Lijiang old town, in fact one could argue that the place is located in Lijiang old town. The staffs here are very friendly and helpful. Brought me to some places for souvenirs and advice me which street food is halal and non-halal. Definitely will come and stay here again if return to visit Lijiang.

Can't recommend this place enough, the host speaks perfect English (very rare for Yunnan) and was very helpful in recomening hikes. Family style dinners were fun as well. and the sunrise view from the roof is out of this world! AND there is an adorable kitten and God that are best friends

The family suite was very spacious, and the electric blanket kept us wonderfully warm. The oxygen machine and humidifier were a real lifesaver. The TV was incredibly practical, loaded with tons of apps, which made the cold evenings much more enjoyable. The owners were very welcoming; they'd always greet us whenever we saw them at the entrance, where there was also free hot tea available. It's a shame we couldn't use the small balcony because of the cold weather. The best part is its ideal location, just the right distance from the ancient city: any further in and you'd constantly be stuck in traffic during the day, but any further out would be too far. Renting a car is convenient for getting around Shangri-La, and luckily, the hotel offers free parking.

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.

This guesthouse near Dali Ancient City's East Gate is an absolute gem! The best part of my Dali trip was definitely choosing the right place to stay. It's right next to the East Gate, just a few minutes' walk to Erhai Gate, making it super convenient for exploring the old city and finding good food. Yet, it's surprisingly quiet and peaceful despite being so central. The moment I walked in, I was captivated by its style – wooden furniture, lush greenery, and a blend of Bai minority architectural elements with modern design. Every corner felt warm and inviting, perfect for photos! The guy at the front desk was incredibly friendly, offered to help with my luggage, patiently explained local attractions, and even gave useful tips to avoid tourist traps, which made me feel very welcome. The room was fully equipped with everything you could need, from soft bedding and high-quality toiletries to cotton swabs, earplugs, and disinfectant wipes. They even provided disposable toilet seat covers – the attention to detail was exceptional. I had such a comfortable and hassle-free stay. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit to Dali!
