In their spare time, guests can explore the hotel's surroundings. If you are looking for a convenient place to stay, our guests have told us that this location is excellent. This hotel is a popular accommodation for guests traveling alone.

"The location within Shuhe Ancient Town is super convenient for exploring both Shuhe and Baisha Ancient Towns. Getting to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is also an easy taxi ride. However, the room environment was really subpar. The soundproofing was terrible, and the room door was heavy and noisy to open and close. Since there's no air conditioning, you have to open the window for ventilation, which just made the noise even worse. My room was near the shower area, and people were showering late into the night. Someone even blasted music loudly in the middle of the night, and no one seemed to care. It woke everyone up until one of the guests finally shouted for them to turn it off."

"This place is very good to stay. Convenient to reach to the ancient city in walking distance to the bus stops to travel Baisha ancient town or snow mountain or #105 to railway it is an ultimate place overall. Clean environment and very friendly and helpful staff members. Older building, but it is run well. In case you can't find the place through the address, I uploaded pictures of the entry to the hostel, both road and the gate. Enjoy your stay. I couldn't find the place when I stayed so the staff member met me on the way. It was so kind of them. Unfortunately, the address is not absolute when you follow the navigation, and trip.com doesn't have the clarity. Such nice place and people. I can recommend it. Enjoy your stay! Good people, good hostel."

The O'way Youth Hostel is an ideal spot for travelers wanting to discover the city. The O'way Youth Hostel is an ideal choice for travelers who want to take in the sights and sounds of Lijiang. The hotel is conveniently located just 10km from Lijiang Railway Station and 30km from Lijiang Sanyi International Airport. Keeping busy is easy, with Lijiang Ancient Town - South Gate Square, Hongtaiyang Square and Lijiang Ancient Town Bar Street all nearby. This hotel makes a great place to kick back and relax after a long day of sightseeing. This Lijiang hotel provides parking on site. If you demand a high level of service, our guests have indicated that this hotel has excellent standards.

"This hostel is absolutely fantastic, the luckiest choice I made during my half-month stay in Lijiang, and I recommend it to everyone. Firstly, its location is superb. It's just a 4-5 minute walk from the Old Town, but not actually inside it (the roads in the Old Town are terrible!). It's situated on a small hillside, so it's incredibly quiet at night… I slept like a log every single night. Plus, this hostel is very new, the bedding is always clean, as are the rooms, and it even has an en-suite bathroom, so I felt completely at ease. I also think its common area is excellent. The entire fourth floor is dedicated to it, featuring a pool table, sofas, and chairs, and you can even sing karaoke. It’s a glass-enclosed space, so it gets wonderful natural light, which I absolutely loved. What's more, its prime location offers a panoramic view of the entire Lijiang Old Town, the mountains opposite, spectacular sunsets, and shifting clouds. I especially enjoyed watching the moon peek through the bamboo blinds in the evening. Although the guesthouse is up a slope, you can easily get there by car or electric scooter. After a rainy day, you can even go mushroom picking right outside the door! On cloudy days when you don't feel like going out, you can chat with friends or just sleep in your room until the cows come home. If there's any outing planned, you can instantly join a group… What truly makes me reluctant to leave and compelled to write this review is the amazing people I met here, including the exceptionally kind owner (a brother and sister). Saying goodbye to them all was hard, and I already miss them… I will definitely be back and look forward to seeing them again! ^_^ 😘 (The photos I've included are a bit jumbled – there's the fourth-floor common area, a sunset, a postcard written to a departing friend, the room, some mushrooms, and the hostel entrance. I hope they're helpful. I genuinely recommend this place!) Wishing you a pleasant journey!"

"I chose a six-person dorm, and at around 20-something yuan a night, it felt incredibly cheap. The bunk beds were solid and didn't wobble, offering great value for money. The common areas were also lovely, with a very artistic decor. What I appreciated most was that both the rooms and public areas were smoke-free, with a designated smoking area on the balcony by the entrance. Plus, they don't allow pets like cats or dogs."

"I highly recommend this hostel for solo travelers visiting Lijiang. If you're too tired to trek to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain for sunrise, you can climb a ladder from the balcony to the rooftop in the morning to catch the ”Golden Mountain in the Sun” – no need to go all the way there and back, haha! It's super close to the Old Town, less than 1 km away, so it's perfect for an evening stroll. If you have some free time, you can also head to Black Dragon Pool for another stunning view of the sunrise on the mountain. This hostel feels like it's the closest one to Black Dragon Pool Park, which is free and gets quite busy in the mornings. The hostel owner is a great guy; he's always ready to help with any requests. You'll often see him cleaning rooms and tidying the courtyard during the day – he's really meticulous about cleanliness. The balcony is huge, perfect for sunbathing. I noticed all the sheets and duvet covers were drying, so each bed definitely gets fresh linens 😂. I had such a good stay that I extended for several days. I'll definitely be back next time!"

"I went out on a trip by myself and stayed in a youth hostel for two consecutive days. The lady boss was very welcoming. It was the cleanest and most comfortable youth hostel I have ever stayed in. Every roommate I met was also very nice. I even spent half a day in Baisha Ancient Town with one of my roommates. Yunnan is really nice. Next time I come alone, I will stay here again, but I hope we come together, hahaha."

"The location isn't super obvious at night, but it's right by the road, making it very convenient for taxis. We arrived quite late, and the front desk staff even helped us with our luggage. The room itself is spacious, with two beds, a small table, and an electric blanket – definitely needed since it gets pretty chilly here, especially mornings and evenings. The window offers a view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain! It can be a little noisy being so close to the road. On the 4th floor, there's an open-air terrace with a small bar, swings, and a washing machine, which is great for drying clothes. Overall, it's a good place and I recommend it. Just a heads up, it's about 700-800 meters from the ancient city, so the location is a bit further out."

Facilities: A very retro and unique shop, I think artsy types would love to stay here, it's very comfortable. There's a swing, but the shower area is outdoors, which is slightly inconvenient. The toilets and bathrooms have ambient lighting. There are also many different types of books to read. Hygiene: Clean and tidy, the toilets are sit-down toilets, but alcohol wipes are provided. Alcohol spray and laundry detergent are available, but you need to bring your own toothbrush and towel. Environment: Located near Shuhe Ancient Town, the scenery is beautiful, and there are many cats and plants in the shop. Service: It's okay, there are no computers in the shop, so if you need to transfer photos, it's recommended to bring your own computer or phone adapter. The soundproofing is poor; you can often hear conversations in the courtyard at 7 am and 11 pm. Also, the cats are currently in their estrus cycle and often howl at night. There are no earplugs, so people with poor sleep quality should bring their own.

The B&B is located in a villa complex. The main gate is a five-minute walk from the South Gate of Shuhe Ancient Town, and the location is accurate. You can park your car right in front of the B&B. There's also a back gate in the complex, and once you exit, the East Gate of Shuhe Ancient Town is just across the road. Service: The owner was incredibly warm and friendly, offering tips and advice for sightseeing, just like family. The auntie's mixed sauce rice noodles were delicious and everything was clean and hygienic. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Sister Bing. We couldn't book a room for another day, but Sister Bing was so nice to accommodate me and my friend. My friend and I went to bed late, so I hope we didn't disturb Sister Bing during our stay. Every time we came back, the owner would greet us and say ”I'm back”, which was like going home. I highly recommend it to friends in Lugu Lake, you won't be disappointed! There is also a very cute cat named Big Bear.

The location is near to HuTuWo farm which is walkable 15 mins, it's about 40 mins +- if you take a taxi from LiJiang Ancient to BaiSha Ancient Town. We enjoy the famous local speciality - rose bun by ManTou Shiren and XiaoLongBao and GuanTangBao nearby. This hostel is located at BaiSha Ancient Town which have a perfect scenery view for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. But too bad there is bad weather when we arrive there so we couldnot have a clear view but we do enjoy the stay there. But outside the room is open living area with many trees and we found out small insect appear in our room that cause us very scary and could not sleep well but the PIC did come to help and take off the insect after non-stop several calls at 10.30pm 😬 The photos with animal is in HuTuWo which is walkable 15 mins from this hostel.

The room is very spacious as a whole, and each passenger has his or her own electronic cabinet. You can also play with young people from different places here. The food in the store is also very amazing. There are sweet and savory, and you can see different dishes on the same table. In the evening, they all get together to play board games, and the whole hall is filled with laughter, hahaha. I will come with my friends next time if I have a chance!

I went for it for the price, but still some lacking things surprised me. The bed was hard, the walls in the room were mostly dirty and stained from both human use and mosquito splatters. There was rarely someone available for inquiries and the outside toilet was a big downside, since it was quite cold, especially at night. Having a kitchen to use was definitely a plus and the rooftop areas were pretty nice, although messy. I was sad to see all the animal they have spend the whole day caged or chained 😔

CNGuest User
The door of the female four-person room could not be closed and opened as soon as the wind blew. I wanted to give a bad review directly, but I thought I should communicate first. So after the communication, the boss changed the room. The door could be closed, but it could not be locked. I just pressed the handle from the outside and the door opened. There was no room card or key, and the door could not be locked. I asked the boss if all the rooms here were like this? The boss said yes, and said that there was surveillance. I was convinced and had nothing to say. He also changed me to another four-person room. I was the only one living there, and it was indeed a single room for one person. Although the price was cheap and it was in the scenic area, I just asked that the door could be locked, not that anyone could open it from the outside. Am I asking too much? I hope the store can repair the door lock in the future, install a lock and match it with a key or room card. It doesn't cost that much, right? The bathroom is relatively old, the walls are moldy, and the facilities are old, but I can accept it. It's okay to take a shower and wash, but it doesn't look comfortable. After all, it's in the scenic area, and it costs a lot to redecorate. But the door lock can't cost that much, right? I feel unsafe. I am afraid of being hit on the waist while sleeping. If you don't believe me, you can go to the store to see if what I said is true or not before booking. But the price is indeed cheap, but I don't think it is necessary to live in Shuhe Ancient Town. There is nothing to visit in this scenic spot. There is no need to come here from a long distance. Lijiang Ancient Town and Shahe Ancient Town are better than this. I don't know if other standard rooms and double bed rooms also have door cards and keys. Anyone can open the door from the outside. But to be honest, the courtyard environment of the hotel is really good. Anyone who sees the courtyard should like it. There are many trees and many tables and chairs to sit in the small courtyard. It is very comfortable and very comfortable. There are two large beds in the public space of the courtyard. It is really comfortable to lie down. That courtyard is really good, and there are cute cats, especially cute and soft fur. There is also a washing machine that seems to be 10 yuan per bucket, which is too expensive, but I didn't scan the code. Maybe no one saw it in the middle of the night and didn't ask me to charge. I still thank the store for letting me wash my clothes for free.

I came here with my friend's family and booked two rooms on the first night. The next day, my friend and his family went back, and we continued to stay here. Because it is the peak tourist season, prices are slowly increasing now. When we extended our stay the next day, the aunt calculated the original price for us! The lady boss is very nice!
