A friend recommended me this hotel and my father and I loved our time there! It is in the centre of Shangri-La old town but far enough not to be bothered by the noises of commercial streets, the owner was lovely, the room was nice, everything was great about it!
Response from Property: Reading about the warm time you spent with your father in the Fragrant House, our hearts also filled with warmth. Being able to connect with you through a friend's recommendation is a precious gift from Shangri La. The stone road of the ancient city of Dukezong in Shangri La always extends the story of encounter. We always believe that the true beauty of the journey lies in the sincere treatment between people. The inn is hidden in the pulse of the ancient city, not only wanting to take you to touch the temperature of the millennium moonlight city, but also willing to use a quiet ******* courtyard to separate you from the hustle and bustle. The room design you mentioned is our small intention to blend traditional ******* aesthetics with modern comfort. Being able to win your love is the greatest encouragement for us. I am particularly moved by your journey of family with your father, which is the most touching scenery in Shangri La. Zaxidele! May this plateau sunshine always warm you. No matter when you return, this small courtyard under the prayer wheel will always prepare the fragrance of butter tea for you. Thank you

I had to leave early and was disappointed with my stay. First room they checked me into was not clean. They apologized and moved me to another room which was not very nice. Later I discovered it was on a busy side street and was very difficult to sleep. If you book here get a room in the back. They were very friendly just didn’t work for me.
Response from Property: 【Designed by Designer】【Most Beautiful Homestay】Dear guest, we are truly sorry that your stay with us has been an unpleasant experience. We feel deeply remorseful for failing to ensure you a comfortable stay. Regarding the hygiene issue in the first room, we have conducted serious reflections and will strengthen our cleaning quality control. As for the replacement room being noisy due to its proximity to the street, which affected your rest, we are also to blame for not recommending a more suitable room type to you in a more detailed manner in advance. Thank you for your suggestion on room booking; going forward, we will proactively remind guests to choose the quieter rooms at the back. We appreciate your recognition of the friendliness of our service, as well as your affirmation of the facilities such as the viewing terrace, oxygen supply and floor heating, and the beautiful scenery of Shangri-La. We are very regretful that we failed to let you experience the complete beauty of Xiangsheli. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future, so that the 老板娘's enthusiasm and a more perfect experience can make up for this shortcoming.

The hotel is near Square market but a bit up the hill. You need to contact the hotel before you reach so that they can pick you up at the old town entrance and send your luggage to the hotel.
There is a balcony with a nice view at 2nd floor, but it will be seal up if there’s guests staying at the corner.
They also serve simple breakfast with minced meat noodle, white bun and boiled egg, and plain porridge
There’s are some traditional custom and jacket for you to use for free
Response from Property: 【The Most Beautiful Viewing Balcony】 Indeed, our inn is built against the mountain. While it’s close to the square market, there is a slight uphill walk to reach us. That’s why we recommend contacting us in advance – we’ll pick you up at the North Gate and help carry your luggage, ensuring a hassle-free check-in for you. The second-floor viewing terrace is our little pride! Please understand that it may be temporarily closed if the corner guest room is occupied. We’re glad you enjoyed our home-style breakfast, including minced pork noodles, congee, and more. Feel free to use the complimentary traditional costumes and coats as needed. With oxygen supply, floor heating, thoughtful designs by our designer, and the warm hospitality of our landlady, we hope you feel cozy and comfortable in Shangri-La, the place closest to the sky. We look forward to your return to continue this wonderful journey!

The Inn located in the Dukezong Ancient City. But quite far from the main Dukezong however still consider convenient to go everywhere in Dukezong Ancient City. The hardest part is…. you need to hike as the Inn located on top of the hill. They do offer luggage pick up service for free. The host very helpful. He help us to book Balakezong trip for next day.
Response from Property: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Yang Jinlam, the owner of Xiangsheri, greets you and thanks you very much for choosing to stay at our Xiangsheri Hotel located in the ancient city of Dukezong and leaving us a valuable review. Located in the ancient city of Dukezong in Shangri La, Sifang Street Square is very convenient, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility and feel the comfort of the ancient city. Located on the mountainside, we offer free luggage retrieval services to help you book your trip to Balagzong the next day. We hope to provide you with a comprehensive and convenient experience for your journey. If you have any travel plans in the future, we sincerely look forward to your visit again. Please feel free to contact us at any time, and we will be happy to serve you.

Review from overseas traveller/english speaker:
the hotel is centrally located and the small hill in front of the hotel is seriously not a big deal - not sure why people complain about it here. but it's true that you have to walk from the city gate/use hotel's shuttle service from north gate as cars cannot access the old town.
staff is very kind and helpful (even helped me resolving an issue with my WeChat money transfer). however, nobody speaks english so I suggest to add them on WeChat and chat them on any requests as the app has an instant translator integrated.
only disappointment was the room's window: yes, it is a window. and no, it's definitely not a view! you look straight onto the other house's wall 1m away from your window. Other hotels would declare this room as non-window.
but bathroom/common areas/etc is all clean. the roof top balcony is shared with the terrace of another room which could be awkward as you can see directly into their room.
overall, for price-value, i still recommend the hotel though.
Response from Property: Sincere thanks for choosing Shangri-La View Inn and sharing your detailed experience! While our central location in the ancient town offers the convenience of being just steps away from Square Street, vehicle restrictions do require walking or taking our complimentary shuttle (approximately 5 minutes from the North Gate). The tranquility of the small hill is a gift for those seeking respite from the bustle—we truly appreciate your understanding!Regarding language communication, we are actively organizing English training for our staff. We are especially grateful for your brilliant suggestion about using WeChat! Going forward, we will proactively guide guests to utilize its translation feature to ensure seamless communication of requests.Your feedback about the room view has been duly noted. Due to the layout constraints of traditional ******* dwellings, some rooms have limited vistas. We will add clearer real-life window photos to our booking page for reference and are working on optimizing the terrace partition design to enhance privacy.It brings us genuine delight that you recognized our team’s friendliness and high hygiene standards! Your affirmation of our value-for-money offering is our greatest motivation. We warmly invite you to return—next time, we’ll reserve a room with mountain views for you, where opening the window will greet you with snow-capped peaks and drifting clouds.

The hotel owner was so kind to us. The hotel is a bit uphill but the owner came to the north gate to pick up our luggages in the middle of the night. He also offered tea for us and upgraded our room with amazing view ❤️ the hotel is clean and has modern look.
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.
*The picture is the north gate of Dukezong city where the owner pick up the luggage for us.

Initially, there was a bit of a problem regarding the room facilities, but the owner decided to change to another room for us. It is very convenient to anywhere as it is located in the gu zhen.
Response from Property: Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. The owner of Xiangsheri Hotel, Yangjinlam, greets you. You mentioned that there was a slight incident with the room facilities at first, but unfortunately, our owner immediately created another comfortable room for you. Our hotel has a unique advantage in the Dukezonggu Ancient City of Shangri La! This place is like a treasure, and our hotel is an excellent starting point for embarking on a treasure journey. Going out is the quaint streets, whether you want to explore historic sites, taste local cuisine, or experience the unique folk culture of the ancient town, they are all within reach and super convenient! You are like an explorer, starting from us, you can easily explore the wonderful world of the ancient town. Thank you very much for your tolerance and understanding. Every word you say is an encouragement to us. We will continue to work hard to make every small detail more perfect. We look forward to you coming here again to start a new beautiful journey! thank you

Great hotel on the top of a hill looking across the town. The room was spacious with views, the bathroom area large. The staff were helpful when approached and always smiling.
The walk to the hotel is challenging at night when the air is damp. We purchased some oxygen from the grumpy man's shop at the bottom of the hill, which eased the walk. The staff assisted carrying our bags up and down the hill whenever required, which was great.
Unfortunately, they didn't clean our room during our 3 night stay, which meant we had to ask for toilet paper each day, and the toilet bin never got emptied.
Response from Property: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. The owner of Xiangsheri Hotel, Yang Jinlam, greets you. We are delighted to hear your praise for the hotel's location on the mountaintop, overlooking the entire Shangri La Dukezong Ancient City. The rooms are spacious, the view is wide, and the bathroom area is large! We have always hoped to create a comfortable and unique accommodation experience for every guest, allowing everyone to fully enjoy this excellent scenery. Our staff is also inspired by your praise. They are like a group of enthusiastic little suns, always smiling and ready to lend a helping hand to guests. Helping to carry luggage up and down the mountain is the most enjoyable thing for them! The humid air at night can indeed make walking more difficult, and I'm glad the oxygen in the shops at the foot of the mountain can help you. Regarding the issue of room cleaning, this is our serious dereliction of duty, and we have seriously discussed this matter with the room service team. Not cleaning the room in a timely manner, replenishing toilet paper, or even uncleaning the toilet is absolutely unacceptable. We will strengthen management to ensure that such problems do not occur again. We look forward to another opportunity to serve you, make up for your regret, and create a flawless accommodation journey for you. Thank you again for your understanding and support! Welcome
