My stay at Sifuyashe was absolutely perfect, hands down the best guesthouse in Lijiang Old Town! The location is superb, right in the heart of Wuyi Street, which is the most vibrant and lively area of the Old Town. It’s a 3-minute walk to Sifang Street, with tons of restaurants, bars, and unique shops all around – you step out and instantly feel immersed in the lively atmosphere. Yet, it’s also a peaceful oasis. The guesthouse is surrounded by lush greenery and traditional Naxi architecture, with a secluded courtyard that blocks out all the external noise. Entering the guesthouse feels like stepping into a tranquil paradise; it’s so quiet at night you can hear yourself breathe, allowing your mind and body to completely relax.
The decor is elegantly tasteful, seamlessly blending traditional Naxi architecture with beautiful garden landscapes. There are seven distinct courtyards, with a babbling brook, winding boardwalks, and vibrant bougainvillea accentuating the blue-tiled roofs and white walls, giving it an ancient yet lively feel. The furnishings in the rooms are incredibly well-crafted, featuring handmade solid wood carved beds, intricately carved windows, and antique-style lighting. Each piece of furniture exudes a sense of history, complemented by soft lighting and a subtle incense aroma, creating a warm and refined ambiance that combines the charm of a traditional inn with the comfort of a modern hotel.
The service was impeccable from start to finish. From booking to check-out, we received attentive care throughout. For our 5-night stay, we enjoyed complimentary airport transfers. The housekeeper communicated our itinerary in advance, ensuring a seamless pick-up upon arrival. When we checked in, we were greeted with warm tea and fruit, and a detailed introduction to the guesthouse’s facilities and services. They even customized a personalized itinerary for us, recommending off-the-beaten-path attractions that were less crowded but equally beautiful, helping us avoid the typical tourist crush. The housekeeper also helped us book tickets for Naxi ancient music performances and provided discount cards for popular bars, making our trip even more enriching.
Room amenities were comprehensive, with soft and comfortable bedding and excellent soundproofing. High-end features like a Kohler smart toilet, white goose down duvet, and latex pillows are comparable to a five-star hotel. Hot water was plentiful 24/7 with stable pressure, and the toiletries were all high-quality, providing a great experience. Every day of our stay here was incredibly comfortable, feeling like we had a temporary home in Lijiang. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit and highly recommend it to all friends visiting Lijiang!
