Our stay at Xilu Xiaoyi was excellent!! The wonderful wooden facilities in the room, the beautiful environment, strategic location (about 10 mins walk from South Gate), perfect hospitality, unlimited bottled water supply and friendly furballs (that will lay down immediately when you pet them!) have totally enriched our experience in lijiang!!
I have to further elaborate on the wonderful hospitality offered by Mandy (the owner) and the staff of the inn. We were contacted by Mandy through WeChat before our stay so she can arrange the staff to pick us up and carry our luggage. We were greeted with fresh watermelon slices that quenched our thirst on a hot summer day. During our stay, as we need to leave the inn early on both days and we have opted for the breakfast option, they have prepacked scrumptious breakfast for us. Also on our last day, we needed to leave at 7am, but Mandy was super accommodating to our request and arranged the staff to bring our luggage to the South Gate. They also gave us a local recommendations for what to eat (was very good).
Mandy and the staff have gone above and beyond and it definitely made our stay so much more amazing. Would give 6 stars if possible!! Thank you so much to everyone there :)
