9.6 (3,645 reviews)

Songzhuju · Coffee and Tea Holiday Villa · Designer Garden ★★★

📍 No. 40, Xingren Upper Section, Wuyi Street, Gucheng District, Lijiang

"The courtyard is very comfortable and refreshing. My room even had a private little courtyard behind it, with hydrangeas planted. The bedding was top-notch, definitely star-hotel quality. The velvet bathrobes deserve full marks – they were incredibly comfortable to wear after a shower on a 10-degree Celsius night. The toiletries weren't typical guesthouse quality either; they were also star-hotel grade. The breakfast provided was delicious; it was what woke my kids up every morning, and they'd prepare it for you as soon as you got up. There's a coffee shop right at the entrance, which was super convenient for a coffee lover like me. After breakfast, a cup of coffee, and a stroll through the ancient town in the early morning – that's my kind of stress-relief time as an adult."

It's located right on the edge of the old town, with its south gate opening onto the main road and the north gate leading directly into Lijiang Ancient Town. The location is truly exceptional. The stay itself was fantastic too – clean and tidy. The hotel manager even provided timely advice based on the weather to ensure the most comfortable experience.

It's very close to Zhongyi Market, so you can go early in the morning to browse the local market for fruits and snacks, and it's just a short walk back to the guesthouse. The alleys of the Old Town are quite intricate, but the owner sent us a super detailed map, so we didn't have to worry about getting lost at all. It's very convenient for getting around and shopping, and you don't have to climb hills for long periods. It's also close to the main intersection."

"The hotel isn't far from Lijiang Ancient Town, and there are plenty of highly-rated restaurants nearby. The room was clean and quiet, offering a distant view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from the window. You can also go to the rooftop observation deck for photos with the snowy peaks. The owner was very hospitable, providing us with detailed tips on sightseeing and local cuisine. The barista who makes the coffee is not only beautiful but also very skilled; getting a free iced Americano every day meant there was no need to linger at the various coffee shops in the scenic area.

"Came to Yunnan to climb Haba Snow Mountain, successfully summited, haha! This hotel in Lijiang was super comfy after the climb. It's just a two-minute walk to the main road, but because it's tucked away in an alley, it's really quiet. The owner is incredibly nice and welcoming. The room environment is excellent and very clean. Plus, it's less than a ten-minute walk to Zhongyi Market and Lijiang Old Town! I'll definitely be staying here again next time I visit."

YinYue·Sifu Designer Scenic Inn (Lijiang Flagship Store) ★★★
"We had a lovely stay at this guesthouse in Lijiang. From the moment we arrived, the host was very welcoming and helpful, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. The guesthouse itself was a unique experience for us. The property is beautifully designed with traditional local touches, giving us an authentic feel of Lijiang while still being comfortable and cozy. Staying here was one of the highlights of our trip. The host also helped us arrange transportation to Tiger Leaping Gorge. Unfortunately, the driver left before we could reach the vehicle, but this was completely beyond the guesthouse’s control. The host immediately tried to contact the driver and went above and beyond to help us resolve the situation, including assisting with the refund process. We really appreciated her efforts and support. Another great advantage is the location. The guesthouse is situated inside Lijiang Ancient Town, making it easy to explore the charming streets, shops, and atmosphere right from the doorstep. Overall, a wonderful stay with a beautiful property, excellent location, and a host who genuinely cares about her guests. Highly recommended!"
