Hotels in Lijiang

"One of My Best Stay Experiences—Authentic & Unforgettable This was one of my most memorable hotel stays, and I’ve stayed at many top-tier, five-star hotels around the world. While this may not be the most luxurious in terms of facilities, it more than makes up for it with its genuine charm and warmth. The owner was incredibly friendly, making us feel like we were staying at a friend’s home rather than a hotel. This welcoming vibe perfectly complements the enchanting atmosphere of this beautiful ancient city.   The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially from our top-floor room. The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience, offering a spectacular panorama of the old town and surrounding mountains. The location is ideal—perched on a small hill, it provides an elevated vantage point for those stunning views, though the short uphill walk may be a slight effort due to the altitude. But trust me, it’s worth it.   If you’re visiting Lijiang to immerse yourself in its relaxed beauty and rich culture, there’s no better place to stay. I originally booked for three nights but quickly realized I’d need more time—next visit, I’m planning a full week to truly unwind and soak it all in. This isn’t a place to rush; it’s a place to slow down, savor the moment, and let the magic of Lijiang embrace you.   I can’t wait to return."

"The room is excellent and is at end of a valley, which make it very peaceful and quiet to rest. Also around 5-10mins from northeast entrance. The mattress got heater and the room and environment was very classic making them so photogenic. The host is responsive and nice to help us carry our heavy bags to the room. Definitely recommended"

"The location of the B&B is very good, right in the ancient city. The room is very clean, large and spacious, which is very rare. You can add an extra bed. The rooms in other B&Bs in the ancient city are very small. The owner and the proprietress are very nice and welcoming. There is a platform for taking photos and checking in on the roof of the B&B. You can see the whole ancient city. The scenery is very good! Very good treasure B&B"

"My wife and I visited Lijiang for the first time, and our stay at this place truly enhanced our trip. The location is incredibly convenient for exploring the Old Town. The panoramic views overlooking the Old Town are simply breathtaking. In the evenings, after a stroll back from the bar street, we'd sit on the viewing platform for a bit, enjoying a beer with my wife and watching the city lights twinkle below. While the music from the bar street can be quite lively, you won't hear a thing once you're inside your room (personally verified in Room 216!). Breakfast is provided. On our check-out day, I spent a blissful hour and a half enjoying breakfast on the viewing platform, just completely lost in thought. The photos I've shared were taken during that time. And now, for the most important part! If you're visiting for the first time, definitely contact the owner beforehand. They'll help with your luggage and even pick you up at the main road to ensure you don't get lost. These aren't amenities you'd necessarily expect, but the owner thoughtfully arranged them all. The owner also recommended and arranged an Ancient Tea Horse Road tour, which was fantastic! It included round-trip transfers, and the owner even personally took us to the pick-up point – I honestly wouldn't have found the meeting point without him. He also helped us book a shared shuttle to Lugu Lake. There are so many other thoughtful details, but I won't list them all here. Seriously, just add him on WeChat!"

"First of all, I could say that the service of the hotel is highly appreciated. The staff tries her best to treat us with kindness and full service-mind. She even upgraded my room surprisingly so I had my spacious bedroom bigger than expected. Besides, complimentary fruits already prepared before my check-in. Thanks so much for her full offer. Apart from my above booking, I also decided to book taxi+driver to pick up to Yading. Sure ! the staff helped me to look for taxi with driver as planned. And I got it finally ! However, there're some points to ask the hotel to consider and fix it as follows : - WiFi internet in my room was so slow and disconnect for many times. - Not only this above problem, but I also cannot use TV. Nevertheless, I still choose this hotel for next time in Lijiang. Overall, it was so good and sometimes make me feel homey as the staffs were all so lovely and prompt to serve you with care."

"This homestay really didn't disappoint me. The decoration style is the type I like. The flowers and plants in the yard and the decoration of the room are very distinctive. Traveling around is also very convenient, the boss is also very good, and any needs will be met as much as possible. Brothers and sisters come to Lijiang to choose his home."

"The staff were helpful and friendly, but the hotel is in serious need of renovation. The photos online are outdated and don’t match the actual rooms. In my room, the wardrobe was blocked by the bed, so I couldn’t use it. There was no real space to unpack, just a small portable hanger. I was relieved to stay only two nights. The balcony is covered, which should be clearly mentioned in the description. The kitchenette was very small with only a kettle and two paper cups — not really usable. The fridge was tiny, unplugged when I arrived, and didn’t cool properly. The bathroom was cramped, with no space to hang towels or set down toiletries. There was no hand soap or small towels. The shower area had a warming light and towel hooks, but once used, everything stayed wet. Basic toiletries like body wash, shampoo, and conditioner were provided. The hotel has great potential. The location is excellent, the staff are wonderful, and the courtyard and large villa are nice features. However, I’d only recommend staying here after the facilities have been upgraded. The note is down a steep sets of stairs. The staff came to meet us at the top and help with our luggage when we arrived and when we left."

"This hotel is conveniently situated near Lijiang Old Town, with several restaurants and a convenience store just down the street. The staff is exceptionally friendly, offering a warm greeting whenever you cross paths. On clear days, you can take in the stunning mountain scenery from the rooftop. A daily highlight is the complimentary afternoon tea. Each evening, the staff hosts a demonstration on how to make traditional ******* butter tea, which is a wonderful cultural experience. As an added bonus, the hotel is home to two adorable mascots—a cat and a dog—who you're likely to meet during your stay."

"The weather in Lijiang is absolutely perfect; I never wanted to leave! It was so pleasant chatting with the owner, and I really admired their carefree and natural way of life. Lijiang is definitely a place I'll return to. Mitu Inn is newly renovated with excellent facilities. Unlike other places where the hot water was inconsistent (either too hot or too cold), Mitu Inn has constant hot water, which is a fantastic feature. Enjoying tea and conversation there was simply wonderful."

"I am very satisfied with the room! If I come to Lijiang again, I will definitely book it again! Being able to choose this room really adds extra points to this trip! My companions have been praising me for choosing a good one! Service: We arrived very late that day, but there was still a special car to pick us up, and there was also a special housekeeper to help us transport from the car to the homestay, which was super considerate! Sanitation: The sanitation is very clean. As a person who travels frequently, it is really nice to have such a sanitation service experience at such a price! Facilities: The facilities are very complete, and the heating will be turned on in advance in winter! It is super warm when you enter the room! Service: The service is amazing! There are housekeepers and aunties 24 hours a day. If you want to wash clothes, you can talk to the housekeeper or aunt, and they will help you wash and dry the clothes and send them to your room at night [Such service is really considerate, so you can go out and play with peace of mind]"
