"Stayed here for 2 nights. The property is in an amazing location in the Lijiang old town. The courtyard was as beautiful as the pictures and the room was very spacious and clean. My host, Dalin, was extremely kind and responsive to all of my needs. He even helped reach out to drivers when I was unable to call a Didi back from the Yulong mountain visitor center! Highly recommend!"

📍 No. 180 Yunling Section, Yizheng Community, Xi'an Subdistrict, Gucheng District, Lijiang
★★★ 9.8 (2,337 reviews)

"Location: It's near Heilongtan and a short walk to the old street. There are shops and restaurants around the hotel. Service: All the staff were welcoming and friendly. For example, they helped carry my luggage before I even arrived at the hotel, helped contact the airline when my flight was delayed, and replaced my hairdryer at midnight. They also gave good advice on places to visit. Room condition: The room is modern and can be controlled with AI voice commands to turn lights, curtains, and air conditioning on and off (Chinese language only). The bathroom is spacious, the air conditioning is cool, but the room door is not very soundproof. Food: Breakfast is a set menu with unlimited refills. What I liked most was the afternoon tea with fruit served while enjoying the view of the Yulong Mountain. There was also a Suyoucha-making workshop in the evening, which was a fun activity and allowed me to chat with other guests."

The hotel's internal surroundings are stunning, with black swans gracefully swimming in a beautiful lake, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, equipped with a coffee maker and humidifier, which is very convenient. The hotel also provides buggy service for transportation within the premises and offers a good selection of restaurants. The check-out process was handled very efficiently by a lovely lady named Angel. I would definitely come back again if I have the chance."

The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful throughout our stay. We had to depart very early in the morning, and they thoughtfully prepared a takeaway breakfast for us, which we really appreciated. The room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Overall, a great stay with excellent service and a perfect location. Highly recommended!"

InterContinental Hotels LIJIANG ANCIENT TOWN RESORT by IHG

"The hotel is incredibly comfortable and offers a luxurious, rustic getaway vibe. Its unique architectural style seamlessly blends with Lijiang Old Town. The hotel itself is a mini-attraction, with individual villas containing suites, each area offering a distinct view perfect for photos. The north gate leads directly to Lijiang Old Town, and it's only about a kilometer to Dayan Flower Lane, making it convenient for dining, entertainment, and shopping. It caters to both those who enjoy a lively atmosphere and those who prefer peace and quiet. Room service is incredibly prompt and almost always fulfills requests. Breakfast, in-room dining, and the Chinese restaurant all offer excellent food quality – I highly recommend the mushroom hotpot. A spa session upon arrival was the perfect cure for travel fatigue. Thanks to the promotional activities, my stay was very pleasant. The room was cozy and clean. A well-deserved five-star rating for my three-night stay."

Banyan Tree Lijiang

"My stay at Banyan Tree Lijiang was a much needed respite from the buzz and busyness. Nestled against the breathtaking backdrop of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the resort seamlessly blends traditional Naxi architecture with luxurious comfort, offering a serene escape from the everyday hustle. What truly elevated my experience, however, was the exceptional service, most notably from Elin. From the moment I arrived, her warm hospitality made me feel incredibly welcome and valued. She handled all my queries with remarkable promptness, ensuring that every detail of my stay was seamless. Beyond her efficiency, Elin went above and beyond by providing invaluable travel advice. Her insider recommendations allowed me to navigate the local culture and scenery like seasoned travellers. Banyan Tree Lijiang is a stunning property with sumptuous treats, but it is dedicated and passionate staff like Elin who turn a great vacation into an unforgettable memory. I cannot thank her enough for her kindness and professionalism, ensuring that my needs are met and I am safe in a foreign land."

"I really would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Lijiang. The owner of the hotel has been so helpful throughout my stay, I added his WeChat and he has been able to give me recommendations and reliable tours throughout. I have even been able to just ask him about any general local know-how! The place itself is about 5 minutes to the north gate of the ancient city, making early wake ups for hikes and tours really manageable. The room is really clean and comfortable and I was very impressed by the included breakfast. 5/5!"

"The staff went above and beyond throughout my entire stay. They were always available to help with anything, answered every question patiently, recommended great local restaurants, and even arranged airport and high-speed rail station transfers, making the trip completely stress-free. One of the most thoughtful moments was when I had to leave very early in the morning for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Knowing that most breakfast places would not be open yet, the hotel prepared a simple breakfast for me in advance so I wouldn't have to start the day hungry. It was a small gesture that left a big impression. The rooftop offers a beautiful view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the regular breakfast was delicious every day. The ******* butter tea activity was also a memorable experience. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about local culture, meet other guests, and share stories together. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The level of hospitality here is exceptional. If I ever return to Lijiang, I will definitely here again😍😍 And their dog is so cute🤩"

"A nice hotel which has a good view of the Yulong Snow Mountain. It’s also located beside a lake which is perfect for a morning walk. We personally would like the mattress / bed to be softer as we found it pretty hard. The best thing about the hotel is the hospitality from the staff, who will make you feel really at home."

Shile Hot Spring. Flowerside Brand Designer Mercure ★★★
"100% will not book this place again. If I could give 0 stars, I would for all aspects. Let me break it down: 1. When you first enter the hotel, you will smell cat pee and poo because they have 4 cats but they do not clean up after their cats. Saw the same cat **** outside my room door for 2 days. 2. Room is hella dirty. Mold can be found on cups and everywhere in the toilet. Paid for a bathtub for it to be dirty with black fingerprints all over (did not use it). Spiderwebs can be found all over the room, nose was dying from the dust. 3. Toilet shower head holder is broken, so it sprays the wall while you shower. Toilet doors have huge gaps so u will flood your toilet. 4. Totally unsafe for a solo traveller, the door locks are olden day wood picks with gaps between each door so people can look in. When you leave it is a metal lock so LOL people can push the door open and look into your room while you are not there. Rooms are not soundproof so you can hear everyone in the hotel. 5. They do not provide room service everyday. You have to ask for your toilet paper to be refilled and towels to be changed. 6. This place is on a pricer end compared to other hotels (even those right opposite and nearer) yet they do not provide car services to and fro train stations and airports. So good luck dragging your luggage around old town, meanwhile their own cars can come in and pick you up from the door. (Yes, you can pay more money for it and yes it is double of what you will pay on didi) 7. Hot water is moodier than my own mood swings. Random burning hot water or freezing cold water withouy even touching the handle. Book this place if you want to get medical leave cause you will get a fever from the shower."

Jinmao Purelax Lijiang, The Unbound Collection By HYATT ★★★★★
"First and foremost, the location is unbeatable. It's the best hotel right next to Shuhe Ancient Town, offering a prime view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The stunning mountain scenery, beautiful lake, and garden landscape are all right there for you to enjoy. Every day, you wake up to a picturesque view from a 'king's' vantage point. Secondly, the hotel facilities are comprehensive. The restaurant is exceptionally good, and I highly recommend the hotpot place. The photography studio is excellent; they took the best photos of my wife and me to date, even better than our wedding photos! The hotel is huge, with a large swimming pool and gym, plus a sauna and massage services. There are also many small animals, so you wouldn't get bored even if you stayed indoors for days. Thirdly, the room amenities are top-notch. The balcony is very comfortable, and at night, I could hear the black swans splashing in the lake – it was so blissful and relaxing."
