I was very satisfied with this hotel. The location is excellent, close to the ancient city's Great Waterwheel, and it's situated on a small alley, making it convenient for roadside parking and calling a taxi. The hotel is very new, and they gave us a free room upgrade. The room itself is quite spacious and roomy. The hotel also has an amazing rooftop on the eighth floor with views of the snow-capped mountains. The service attitude was also excellent. If I have the chance to visit again, I would definitely choose this hotel.

The room seemed a bit small, but it was very cozy and spotlessly clean. Check-in at the front desk was quick, and they even shared some basic information, which was a nice touch. There's a laundry room, and you can hang clothes right outside the door, which is super convenient. The front desk also gave us a complimentary souvenir – steam eye masks and hand cream! The value for money is just incredible. Even the bottled water in the room was from JingTian. Don't let the exterior fool you; the rooms are really great. Highly recommend!

GGuest UserEverything about this place, from location to hospitality, is amazing! The homestay arranged to pick us up at an intersection and carried our luggages all the way. The sound proofing of the rooms are not that good though, so a word of caution for light sleepers. During our stay, 小李 took really good care of us, never failed to ask what we intended to do on each day, provided help and suggestionsto us on what to do. We started and ended each day chatting with him. 😊 On our check out day, we had to leave at 6.30am to Shangri-La and 小李 woke up to help us with our luggages and waited with us till our driver came! We could not thank him enough and appreciate him going all the way to help us. We had a wonderful 5-day stay and Lijiang made an impression on us. We definitely recommend anyone to stay there..

YYunduodelvtuI specifically chose this hotel to see the sunrise over the snow-capped mountains from bed. The service was excellent, with a 24-hour butler. The room offered a 180-degree view directly facing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the courtyard was spacious, with photo-op decorations on the rooftop. The ambiance was absolutely stunning. The room was equipped with a humidifier and heater, and afternoon tea was provided. Breakfast was served as a set menu, and the rice noodles were incredibly delicious. The most delightful surprise was Sanjin, who was adorable and incredibly well-behaved. Sanjin greeted guests politely, allowed cuddles, and even licked hands enthusiastically. Truly a sweetheart!

GGuest UserVoluntarily giving a great review: This was the most satisfying B&B we stayed at during our Yunnan trip, definitely deserves a good review: 1. The airport pick-up and drop-off service was perfectly executed. We didn't wait a single minute; a driver was waiting for us upon arrival, and a staff member was waiting at the ancient town. Our luggage was handled by a porter with a handcart, as the B&B is centrally located in the ancient town, but we didn't have to worry about a thing. The staff member guided us to the B&B. Upon arrival, the warm-hearted owner even offered us fruit, which was a lovely touch. 2. The hotel has a wooden structure design and underfloor heating. The room was already very warm when we got there, just like coming home, so we slept exceptionally well on the first night. 3. The hotel also offers concierge service, comparable to a five-star hotel. If you leave your clothes in the laundry basket by your room door, they will be washed, dried, bagged, and returned to your door in the basket – incredibly thoughtful. 4. One day, we left early for Shangri-La, and the front desk attendant, worried we'd miss breakfast, prepared milk, eggs, and pastries for us to take and eat in the car. We were truly touched. Such a thoughtful and comfortable B&B made our Yunnan trip especially memorable. Next time we visit Lijiang, we'll definitely stay at Yijianyunkuan again. Seriously, and breakfast is pictured. The latte and chicken noodle soup are worth savoring.

GGuest UserThis hotel boasts an excellent location with panoramic views of the snowy mountains and ancient city. If you're visiting in summer, it would be lovely to sit on the open-air balcony in the evening, enjoying drinks and chatting with friends – very relaxing indeed. I stayed here on my last day in Lijiang and even got to see the 'golden mountain bathed in sunlight' phenomenon. The owner is incredibly kind, helping with luggage and treating you like an old friend. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit. Oh, and it's also pet-friendly, which is a big plus if you're traveling with your furry companion.

GGuest UserHaving been to Dali, I have a good idea of what a 'home away from home' B&B feels like, but this one still managed to pleasantly surprise me. You can watch the sunrise over the snowy peaks right from your room, the lobby offers specialty milk tea and fruit tea, and transportation is covered with a car pick-up and drop-off service. In the evenings, there's a bonfire party and fireworks, plus a fun complimentary horse ride by Longnv Lake. For meals, you only need to order one main dish, as hotpot and drinks are all free. The 24-hour service via WeChat group is incredibly meticulous, and there's a generous afternoon tea spread and a well-stocked mini-bar. All the staff are incredibly warm and friendly. I rarely stay at the same hotel or B&B twice, but this place is definitely worth revisiting. Of course, I do have a small suggestion: the content on the 'Xiao Du Video' TV needs updating as it's quite old, and it's not compatible with mainstream platforms like Tencent or iQiyi, meaning you have to cast content from your phone daily. For someone who likes to turn on the TV as soon as they wake up while traveling, this isn't very convenient. I hope this can be improved in a future update or a renovation of the first phase. However, this is a minor flaw that doesn't detract from the overall experience, and it still deserves a five-star rating and a big thumbs-up!

GGuest UserThis hotel in Lijiang completely exceeded my expectations! Located in the heart of Lijiang Old Town, it manages to be a tranquil haven amidst the hustle and bustle. The traditional Naxi courtyard, with its 'three rooms and one screen wall' layout, paired with blue-tiled wooden buildings, offers a beautiful scene at every turn. Every photo I took looked like a masterpiece, providing an immersive experience into the rich Naxi culture. The location is absolutely fantastic. It's just a few minutes' walk to Sifang Street, so you can easily pop back to the hotel to rest whenever you get tired of exploring, saving you from unnecessary detours. The guest rooms are spacious and comfortable. The service was simply impeccable. From check-in to check-out, it was efficient and thoughtful throughout. The front desk staff proactively offered tips for exploring the Old Town, porters helped with luggage, and the room service was prompt and attentive, even providing local specialty teas and snacks. The breakfast spread was rich and varied, including freshly cooked small-pot rice noodles. The hotel also has a viewing terrace where you can overlook the entire Old Town and gaze at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance, truly setting the perfect mood. It's perfectly suited for couples, families, or solo travelers. Staying at this hotel in Lijiang Old Town truly unlocks the slow-paced lifestyle. It was definitely the best decision of this trip – a guaranteed fantastic choice!

SSheryl 宜芬Cleanliness: room was slightly dusty. Spiders and insects in the room, but expected because it has many oriental decorations that require constant cleaning to prevent dust accummulation. Location: convenient, it’s of walking distance to the north gate, easy to stroll around to different parts of the ancient town. Service: I have never given a bad review for the service attitude of any accomodations which I’ve stayed at in China, but I honestly think that the service here is mediocre and more reactive than proactive. They fulfil the basics of bringing your luggage up to your room, giving directions to the laundry and breakfast areas and arranging for pick up from the station to the hotel for a stay of at least three consecutive nights. I cannot speak for all the service staff, but the service staff that mainly tended to me during the stay definitely needs to be improved. He was helpful when I needed help for the laundry setting. However, when I needed help with booking tickets to snow mountain (I’m a foreigner and do not have a local number), it was a rather frustrating experience. He shared that the booking of tickets to Yulong Snow Mountain can be done 3-4 days in advance, and he could help me when I arrive at the accommodations. When I arrived, it was 4 days in advance but he was rather nonchalent and did not manage to help me secure tickets for my intended date of visit and had to eventually rely on the tour group to help change dates. The night before the tour visit, I had to reach out on wechat to ask about when and where the meeting point is for the tour. Even after the tour, I even had to ask several times to pay for the tour tickets as he had helped me to secure the ticket to the glacier park cablecar eventually. I had already shared that I could not transfer money on wechat and could only do via scanning his wechat/alipay qr code or vice versa. I feel that given that you guys are located in Lijiang and located near to Jade Snow Mountain, you should have encountered other customers who need help with the booking and this shouldn’t have been such a stressful tour booking experience. Amenities: they have two all-in-1 washing machine and drying amenities which was rather helpful. In the original room which i had booked, the air con leaked at around 10pm+. I texted the service staff on wechat and another staff came 5-10minutes later to check. This staff said it’s normal for the air con to leak at times especially if it’s blocked. After checking, he offered to change rooms for me. He helped me to move my luggage to the new room. There was no form of apology by any of the staff on the day itself when the incident happened. It was only on the next day when I requested for check-out transportation services to the railway station for the following day, where the staff who mainly tended to be apologised for the aircon leakage and offered complimentary transport services to the railway station. I’ve stayed in many accomodations in Yunnan but this was the most disappointing stay thus far and I will definitely not be back again.

GGuest UserAmbiance: Tranquil and secluded, a unique Chinese aesthetic. The entire room was filled with the scent of aromatherapy incense, which was incredibly refreshing. I loved the citronella essential oil and bought over 1000 yuan worth, getting a 30% discount – quite a good deal. Facilities: The open-air heated massage private onsen was fantastic. The room directly faced the 'Golden Mountain in Sunlight' view. Service: Our butler, Luna, provided excellent service. She helped us book a photography session in advance, arranged our room, including housekeeping, answered all our questions, booked our airport transfer, and took care of little things like the 'Little Turtle' welcome gift and bottled water. Highly recommend! The turndown service was particularly special: on the first night, we had a rose milk foot bath in a copper basin, and on the second night, it was a coarse salt foot bath in a copper basin. Breakfast was also good and came with a scenic view. One-way airport transfer between the hotel and Lijiang Sanyi Airport: The airport drop-off service was good. One complimentary ethnic costume photography session (requires booking at least 1 day in advance): I had already taken photos in ******* and Yi costumes a few days prior, so here I tried on Miao ethnic clothing, which was another great experience of local culture. I didn't add any extra photos beyond the included five. Seasonal welcome fruit: We received small fruit baskets on both days. In the evening, there were fresh juices and small cakes – red pitaya juice and orange juice. There was also a large cake in the fridge!

GGuest UserI booked for two days as a solo traveler. The room was very spacious, and having an elevator made it much more convenient than staying inside the old town. My main activity was hiking, which meant my clothes would get sweaty and dusty. The hotel having a washer-dryer combo was incredibly convenient for this, but unfortunately, it suddenly stopped drying on the second day, which was a real shame. The room was well-equipped, though some amenities had minor imperfections. For example, the Xiao Ai smart speaker wasn't connected to the internet, so its smart functions couldn't be used; the hotel might need to ensure it's properly connected. Overall, at this price point, it's an excellent choice. I'd definitely come back again.
