Such a fantastic discovery in Lijiang! We stayed 3 nights in this new B & B and its decor, service and security all equivalent to hotel standard. It is in a super location. Moreover the boss was very generous and gave us complimentary drinks.

I have never liked a hotel so much. Because of the promotion of this newly opened hotel, I changed the original Changbai Mountain itinerary to Lijiang. Facilities: The actual room I stayed in this time was a parent-child room. It is a newly opened hotel. The facilities are very online, especially some small details worth digging into. The bedside is equipped with a free 1-to-3 data cable and a small tool box, as well as hand-brewed coffee supplies. The minibar provides special beer. The toiletries provided are all Balmain, and the whole house floor heating does not need to turn on the air conditioner in winter. Hygiene: I booked a twin room. Because it was late at night when I arrived, the original room had a little hygiene problem. The staff quickly helped to upgrade and change the room. The hygiene of the new room is standard. Environment: The hotel itself is on the edge of the ancient city, with its own door to enter and exit the ancient city, and the design is very attentive. I couldn't help but take a lot of photos in the hotel, and the hotel has its own sika deer~ Service: After staying for 3 nights, I was impressed by the very enthusiastic service. From providing free pick-up and drop-off, and there are staff waiting at the door of the hotel to pick up the luggage late at night. Every time I met him, he would greet me enthusiastically and proactively, and asked about afternoon tea and evening sweet soup. Breakfast was semi-buffet, and there were pictures of staple food. The dishes were served quickly, and during the stay, no more than 5 tables were used at the same time, which was very comfortable. Overall, the experience of staying in this hotel with my family this time can be included in the top experience of life, and my family members were also very satisfied. If there is another opportunity next time and the ability allows, I will choose to stay in this hotel again. After all, the high price is not his problem, but my problem)

Give full marks to the hotel - Tan Chengji We are guests of the Lijiang wedding staying in the hotel, including the elderly, children, family and friends. The hotel is perfectly located, at the gate of Lijiang Ancient Town, less than 1 minute walk from the 101 bus (to the departure station of Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area), 2 minutes from Zhongyi Market, 7 minutes from Zhaoqing Flower and Bird Market, and it is also convenient to take a taxi to nearby popular attractions. The hotel has been open for less than a year, and the old building of the Sifang Temple Fair has been renovated. There are small bridges and flowing water, carved beams and painted buildings, all walnut solid wood furniture, floor heating + air conditioning throughout the house, and the viewing platform can directly see Yulong Snow Mountain. The public area has large floor-to-ceiling glass, which is spacious and bright. Green plants and flowers are decorated in every corner, and the hotel kitchen can also be used freely. We booked a total of 30 night rooms, and the check-in includes airport pick-up and drop-off, welcome fruit and red wine, mini bar, good night soup, departure souvenirs, etc. There are drinks every day, freshly ground coffee, freshly squeezed juice, and the coffee beans are really fragrant and really delicious! It has received unanimous praise from relatives and friends. Even if the hotel's basic room starts at 40 square meters, the basic twin room is recommended, which is nearly 50 or 60 square meters. It feels like it is based on the internal area of ​​the suite. Smart toilet, Kohler bathroom, the direct shower head actually has a switch outside the shower room, fearing that you will directly pour cold water on it or accidentally press the wrong button. The design is so thoughtful. I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to the supplies. The toothpaste is a small tube of Yunnan Baiyao, which is very suitable for the local area (Jinmao Puxiu is twice as expensive, it is Colgate, hahahaha), three data cables, a box of face towels, stationery, spare canvas bags, etc. A complete set of tools for hand-grinding coffee and local freshly roasted coffee beans. Don't miss it if you have craftsmanship, it's really not bad!

The room facilities are good and clean. The service exceeded my expectations. I booked the room after I boarded the plane and waited for it to take off. After booking, someone immediately contacted me about the airport pick-up (super efficient, I didn't even know there was a pick-up). After checking in, there were welcome snacks and afternoon tea, which was super considerate. When I came back from the street at night, the front desk asked for the room number and wanted to send sweet soup (I really couldn't eat it, so I declined). The breakfast the next day was also great. Someone will introduce you to the characteristics of several special dishes in the store, and a departure gift was given when I checked out. Key: The location is very good, directly connected to the ancient city, convenient surroundings, and you can also see the sunrise on Jinshan Mountain from the hotel platform (I got up late and there were many clouds, so I didn't see it much).

I am so satisfied with my choice of this trip. Although the weather was not very good, I am very satisfied with this hotel. The girls and brothers are very enthusiastic and look very good. The environment is very good, and it snowed again🌨️, which is so beautiful. Every staff member is very friendly. There is really a homestay here, but I still think it is convenient to stay here, and it feels very classy. The breakfast is also very rich. For afternoon tea, I chose to cook red wine and it was delicious~ In short, although the weather was not good, I lived very comfortably~ Then the ground here in Yunnan is really slippery. It would be better if the corridor where the rain was exposed could be covered with a more beautiful non-slip mat. I almost slipped🤣

Location: Super convenient, just a few steps from the entrance of the ancient city to Zhongyi Night Market Hygiene: Very, very, very clean, super comfortable Room facilities: All are smart, I like the style and all kinds of things are very considerate. There are nail clippers, daily necessities, bath balls, hand soaps, and I like the smell of them at the bedside Service: I have never stayed in such a comfortable place. The hotel brothers and sisters are very enthusiastic and always smiling. The service is quite good. The key point is that they are all very good-looking. There are small desserts and sweet soups every night, and coffee in the afternoon (I think it tastes much better than outside). There are also red wine, coffee beans, and tea in the room. It’s really great~ When I left, I was given tea from the boss’s house. How can it be so good? I didn’t want to leave... I was so happy. By the way, there was also a little sister who helped wash the fruit. I was really embarrassed. How can every detail be so good... You must stay here when you come to Lijiang. You can see the snow-capped mountains and the sunrise upstairs of the hotel. It’s super beautiful

The most satisfactory hotel I booked for this self-driving tour in Yunnan. The hotel is on the edge of Lijiang Ancient Town. You can enter the ancient town directly from the back door and walk to Sifang Street in ten minutes. The hotel has a high design taste, the facilities are of a proper five-star standard, the bedding is very clean and hygienic, especially the service staff are polite, enthusiastic, thoughtful and meticulous. The girls at the front desk helped me carry my luggage to the second floor and sent it to the door when I left. I have never encountered a hotel with such good service. The breakfast is also very rich and tastes very good. The local chicken rice noodles recommended by the boss at the door of the hotel are super delicious, much better than the rice noodles in the ancient town. If you drive yourself, you can drive to the door of the hotel, take down your luggage and park in the parking lot next to it, which is very convenient.

This is a solo trip I gave myself when I was 41 years old. I completed the Tiger Leaping Gorge hike, and stayed in many hotels from Kunming to Dali and then to Lijiang. However, this hotel gave me a different experience, which is worth writing about seriously. First: In terms of facilities, the hotel was newly opened in 24 years, and all facilities are very new and relatively complete. The plugs in the room are equipped with USB and type-c interfaces. The room is equipped with floor heating, the temperature is very comfortable, and the intelligence is relatively good. The whole house is fully bright. You can feel the ancient charm of the ancient city architecture by opening the curtains. Although it is a full wooden structure, it does not affect its new modern style. Here I want to praise the nightgown, which is invincible soft and comfortable. I usually don’t wear it when I stay in a hotel, but this nightgown is particularly good to wear, and the tissues are also the softest in the hotel I have stayed in, so I took the tissues away 😂 Second: In terms of service, this is also what I want to praise , the housekeeper was available to contact at any time throughout the whole process, including but not limited to calling a car for pick-up, helping with luggage, free laundry, welcome fruit and good night sweet soup in the evening. I had a bad sleep, so the housekeeper gave me an eye mask and earplugs, and helped me adjust the room temperature and exhaust fan noise to the minimum. If I was still not satisfied, I could change rooms. I didn't expect that a kind aunt would help make the bed when I checked in. I gave it a thumbs up. Third: In terms of food, because I came to Yunnan and was not used to the local climate, I had no appetite for many days, but the breakfast of the yellow cattle rice noodles here was light and fresh. I actually ate a big bowl, and the various snacks were also delicious. When I left, a group of young people were studying new dishes and invited me to taste the dry choking yogurt, which was very delicious. In short, the InterContinental I stayed at the night before was not bad, but it was not as good as this one overall. The above three aspects were better. The front desk girl at the InterContinental didn't smile. Five-star praise for reference only
