Arro Khampa properties in Lijiang

I think it's pretty good! It's a five-star hotel, and while it's not brand new, you can tell they spared no expense on the materials, with a lot of solid wood and heavy-duty construction. The bathroom fixtures are all from top brands too. Honestly, I was so tired of staying at other B&Bs in Lijiang; they were either not as pictured or freshly renovated with formaldehyde fumes. Plus, the hygiene at B&Bs generally isn't that great. This is a star-rated hotel, so it definitely meets a certain standard. The slippers and towels are all very comfortable, and there's a good selection for breakfast. Afternoon tea can be enjoyed in their tea room, with a Naxi lady serving you tea. The king-size room is larger, brighter, and more spacious than the twin room. I recommend the king-size room. The service is very attentive. On the day of my arrival, they called me and asked me to let them know when I was close, so hotel staff could come down to help with luggage. There's a slight slope and some steps leading up to the hotel. As for the location, it's on the southwest side of Shuhe Ancient Town. It's convenient to get to Longtan (highly recommended, it's beautiful). If you're heading to the northeast side of the ancient town, it's a bit far (you'd need to take a taxi to go around), but after dinner, you can just walk it off. In Lijiang, it's hot when the sun is out and cold when it rains. Remember to protect yourself from the sun and keep warm. Even in May, you should bring a jacket when you're in the ancient town.
