Hylla Vintage Hotel (LHW Group)

The hotel is very beautiful; even on a rainy day, it's stunning. The overall service quality is excellent. Just a small suggestion: the portion sizes for dinner are a bit small. For a hotel at this price point, guests shouldn't feel left hungry, otherwise, it would be better to just order à la carte.

Facilities: It's a shame there's no kids' club. Everything else is great, the environment and scenery are fantastic, and breakfast and dinner were also very good. The attention to detail was excellent, just no gym. I'd definitely be willing to stay again if I have the chance.

I’ve had my eye on this hotel for years, ever since a friend gave me an aromatherapy gift from here. Later, I kept seeing its iconic tree and gate pop up online many times. So, this Lijiang trip was partly inspired by it. The hotel's public areas are truly beautiful. The iconic Wishing Tree, the S-shaped pathway, lush green lawns, reflection pools, stone walls... every single landscape feature, whether it's raining or sunny, is worth capturing individually. Of course, a big part of the good experience was probably the lack of crowds. On the first evening, after the rain cleared, we stumbled upon a perfect rainbow, which added an extra touch of luck and surprise to our trip. While many have complained about the rooms, my 'little sister' and I actually loved them. The vintage, retro style, simple with no unnecessary decorations, and all the essential amenities present, gave it an immersive and comfortable feel. With over 20 rooms and more than 90 staff members, the high staff-to-guest ratio meant excellent service overall. From the pick-up driver to the front desk lady who gave us a full tour, the butler who repeatedly apologized for not greeting us immediately, and the restaurant manager who specifically checked in after understanding our dining preferences – everyone exuded a unique sense of relaxed professionalism. If I had to point out any downsides, it would likely be the food. The à la carte breakfast menu was decent, but I was surprised that even in Yunnan, the 'small pot rice noodles' weren't as good as those I've had in Chengdu. The paired dinner, while visually appealing, unfortunately wasn't very tasty. It lacked any memorable flavor and wasn't warm enough. Even dishes that are usually hard to mess up, like the copper pot rice and mushroom fried rice, were quite ordinary. Overall, it was still a good experience. If the food were a bit better, I'd definitely go again.

Finally got to stay at this hotel I've had saved for ages! Every view here is so calming and beautiful. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, and the stay was incredibly comfortable. I stayed for 2 nights and really didn't want to leave. If only they had a tennis court!

Initially, I was drawn in by the beautiful photos online and had high expectations for my stay. Upon arrival, I found that the service was the biggest surprise. This is truly one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in for service. They proactively upgraded my room upon check-in, and the room was prepared with hand cream, special fruits, and pastries. Every evening, warm bedtime milk was delivered, which my child absolutely loved. The most fortunate thing was that we happened to arrive during the hotel's Torch Festival! The hotel organized a wonderful buffet dinner and thoughtfully provided a complimentary portion for my child. The activities were also plentiful and engaging, including a bonfire party where everyone danced around the fire, and dazzling fireworks lit up the sky. It felt incredibly ceremonial, and you could tell the hotel put a lot of effort into planning and organizing everything. These are truly unforgettable and beautiful memories. The hotel's mushroom foraging activity was also very fun. The rice noodles and egg rolls at breakfast were delicious too. A special thanks to our butler, who was always responsive to our requests, no matter how late, making our trip completely stress-free. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Lijiang!

This hotel is quite secluded with extensive grounds and diverse design styles, creating an overall natural and relaxed atmosphere. The weeping willow trees are incredibly beautiful, exuding vitality and hope. The service was excellent. Our butler, Lucy, was professional and attentive, even preparing flowers and a cake beforehand, which added a wonderful sense of occasion. Dinner ingredients were mostly sourced locally, and the dishes were hearty and delicious. You could tell the menu was thoughtfully designed and executed. The only downside was the room type. It's so popular that my initial bookings for 2 nights in the Ancient Town Snow Mountain Room and 2 nights in the Snow Mountain Courtyard Room both sold out during the confirmation process. I ended up in a Mountain View Room. The actual view, as pictured, was vastly different from what was advertised on Ctrip. I even suspected I had been downgraded. The view was worse than the garden-view rooms downstairs, directly facing a neighboring bedroom, and another room's bedroom to the left. It felt a bit disappointing. The balcony could only fit two people and had a large spiderweb! I'm not sure if this was meant to emphasize the hotel's natural feel, so it wasn't cleaned. We had to retreat indoors, but the bedroom lacked privacy, so we couldn't open the curtains. The hotel doesn't have a spa or a TV, so it can get a bit boring after a while. Make sure to confirm the actual room situation before booking.

Both my parents and children absolutely loved this hotel. The environment and dining were perfect for everyone. The letter-mailing activity under the Xu Pai tree was especially creative and a really nice touch. If I come back to Lijiang, I'd definitely stay here again. I'm also looking forward to receiving the letter I wrote this year next year!

The room offered a fantastic view of the snow-capped mountains and was well-equipped. The cleaning staff were incredibly thorough, leaving every corner spotless. The front desk and room service were very responsive and accommodating to all our requests. Spending a few days here truly allowed us to slow down and relax. Overall, the comfort level was excellent.

Wuyu Lan (Hotel Indigo Lijiang Gucheng) did not disappoint me. I was able to slow down and every moment was beautiful without needing any filters. From now on, Lijiang holds my most healing memories!
