Hongshe Xingguan Inn (Lijiang Old Town Sifang Street Branch)

The bed is very comfortable and the room was quite clean. Unfortunately I found the location very noisy from the surrounding bars that have loud music playing until 00:00. Also I expected an outdoor area/terrace because it is shown on the photo’s but it was not there.

Located centrally in the old town. Very close to bars and the centre square. Beautiful room, very spacious, very clean, nice linen, very comfortable large bed, hot shower with good water pressure. Bottles of water, slippers and various soaps provided. The room was cold, despite having the aircon on heating turned up. I think this is because it is an old wooden house and the time of year as the aircon looks new and was pumping out hot air. This location would suit someone who wants to go to the Chinese bars/nightlife. As a foreigner I felt out of place in Lijian old town as it was packed with Chinese tourists and the same shops repeated which lost its charm for me and overall felt that the town was not overly welcoming or set up to accommodate western foreigners. I did try to go to one bar but felt very unwelcome as if they wanted me to hurry up and leave as to not disturb the Chinese customers. Anyhow the hotel is lovely and the owner was helpful and offered me a choice of rooms. It was the nicest accommodation that I stayed in Yunnan province. If I had like Lijian I would have stayed longer. I would have loved if there was some coffee in the room so I could use the kettle in the morning!

Nice stayed at this place. A specious room with 2 big bed. The service is topnotch especially the free pick up service from the railway station. The owner is very helpful and always available for every requests.
