Zen Holiday Inn (Lijiang Ancient City Sifang Street) Reviews

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a memorable stay at this charming hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed and cared for. The owner greeted us with genuine warmth and throughout our stay, he helped us with the bags and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was comfortable and convenient. The hotel itself is cute and full of character, with a cozy and inviting charm that made us feel at home right away. Our room was spacious, the bed was wonderfully comfy, and the linens and pillows were of true 5-star quality. The bathroom was spotless, equipped with an automatic bidet, and the shower had excellent hot water—such a treat after a day of exploring. We also appreciated the big flat-screen TV in the room, which made relaxing in the evenings extra nice. The location is near to everywhere. Just short walking distance to main tourist attractions. The hotel also provides self-service laundry, which was very convenient during our trip. The owner kindly showed us how to use the machines, and one rainy afternoon, he even helped bring our clothes into the room while we were out in the city—such a thoughtful gesture that really showed how much he cares for his guests. 😍 What really set this stay apart was the incredible hospitality. The owner helped us arrange a trip to Yulong Snow Mountain, making sure everything was smooth and hassle-free. When we mentioned our plan to hike Tiger Leaping Gorge, he went the extra mile to book our bus tickets to the starting point and onward to Shangri-La, even using his local phone and website access so that we could get the most practical and affordable transport options. This combination of comfort, charm, and heartfelt hospitality made our experience truly special. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area—you’ll feel not just like a guest, but like a friend being looked after. This is my first time in China and i am lucky to stay in this hotel. We would definitely return without hesitation!

When we arrived we were actually amazed by how lovely the room was. Very elegant, cozy and clean! It even had a smart toilet! The owners have been extremely kind and helpful, they offered us tea multiple times, rose cakes and umbrellas for rainy days and helped us book activities. It’s in the old city but it’s not noisy, so it’s strategically positioned. We had an amazing experience and when we will come back to LiJiang we will book again this hotel for sure!

Gorgeous views, very clean and convenient, and most importantly exceptionally friendly staff. a very warm welcome. much appreciated

Location is 10 minutes walk from main road and you have to pull your luggage across the bumpy sidewalk in the ancient town.

Very warm reception with tea and typical flower cakes. Friendly, happy, helpful staff. Big and comfortable room, very clean. They came to pick us up from the entrance of the old town to carry our luggage. Well located in the ancient town. Appropriate for international travelers.

The location of the hotel is within the old town and is very good since it is located near the Square Market (Sifang Street) where most of the activities are, from Sifang Street, there are lane that branch out to the various part of old town, For the first time visitor to the old town who book this hotel or for that matter any hotel within the old town, it is imperative that you contact the host to lead you to the hotel as it is not easy to find the place as a newcomer and perhaps to get them to get a cart to carry your luggage as it is difficult to drag the luggage over the uneven stone lane which is not accessible to cars, our host came out to lead us to the hotel and during checkout offer to carry our luggage in a cart to an entrance of old town where we book our ride to the train station, overall a pleasant stay in Lijiang

The location is great and peaceful on a same time. The owner and the staff are really kind and helpful. I will recommend this place 100%. Cette place se trouve non loin de l’action tout en étant préservé du bruit. Les facilités sont nombreuses, et les employés se plient en 4 pour vous rendre service. En espérant pouvoir y retourner!

The hotel is located in the old town, very close to Sifang Street, offering a quiet retreat amidst the bustling city. They help with luggage, and the second floor has a great view. It has a wooden structure, and overall, the stay is quite comfortable.

The boss is such a great guy! So welcoming! Because I couldn't book the room I wanted, he gave me a free upgrade to the best view room in the hotel! I was so embarrassed! And the environment is so beautiful! I even forgot to return my room card when I left, so I tried to transfer the cost of the card on the train, but he refused to accept it! He's a real Northeastern guy!

The hotel's location is fantastic, just minutes from Sifang Street. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping options nearby, making it very convenient for both travel and daily life. The room was exceptionally clean and tidy, and the bedding was soft and comfortable, making for a wonderful sleep with no odor at all. The bathroom was also thoroughly cleaned, and the hot water was readily available, with the right pressure and temperature. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Lijiang.

The environment is great, with a good view, and it's very quiet.

The room is spacious, clean and sanitary, equipped with intelligent facilities. The courtyard environment is beautiful and suitable for taking pictures. The boss and the boss lady are very enthusiastic. I will choose this inn again when I come to Lijiang next time.

Every time I come to Lijiang, I choose to stay here. The room is clean and sanitary, the yard has a view, and it is comfortable to bask in the sun in the yard. The boss is very enthusiastic. When I come back tired from playing, I chat and drink tea with the boss. It is very interesting to listen to the stories of Lijiang.

The room is very clean and the design is very thoughtful. The boss is from Northeast China and is very welcoming and invites us to have tea and chat. The location of the B&B is relatively quiet, and the recommended food is also good. I am very satisfied.
