We had booked several hotels with modern amenities along our trip to Yunnan hence we wanted to try something different, and we glad we chosen this hotel. The lady boss fetch us outside the ancient town as our van 9 seater unable to go in.
Upon arrival, she served us local drink and snacks 酥油茶 , 青稞饼 and roasted walnut for free which is quite surprising and heartwarming. The lady boss even helped us to air-packed our snacks, which leaked during the journey. The hotel is Tibet theme , with Tibet architecture and interior. It comes with good facilities including floor heating system , bed warmer and dehumidifier, we can stay warm along the cold night.
We also met 九月,a very calm and cute golden retrieval at the hotel. Location wise is quite strategic , within walking distance to 龟山公园,and many eateries nearby. And the lady boss offered us free ride to Shangri-la railway station after we checked out. Kudos to their great service and will definitely come back again if we visit Shangri-la in future!

The people from the hotel are very kind. They helped me receive a package. They also had great recommendations about the area. Nicely located just out of the old town. I would definitely return here if I visit again!

Great place, beautiful cosy room and very close to the old center. Very friendly people who are willing to help the inexperienced travelers. The bed is pretty firm. This is something that wasn’t a problem for us, but good to know if it’s not your taste.

A beautiful and peaceful setting with a warm and empathetic family who went above and beyond to help me. The room is incredibly spacious, featuring two seating areas, along with floor and bed warmers for added comfort.

My stay at the hotel was very good, I was very well received, the hotel is rustic (all made of wood) with a very beautiful decoration. Jay took me to see the old city and was an excellent guide. I recommend!
