Lijiang Gucheng District Hotels

I stayed here for two nights. It’s a small guesthouse located in the old town area. Large vehicles cannot access the alley, so if you have luggage, I recommend using a trolley. There’s a baggage service at the entrance for about 20 yuan. Most of the staff here speak only Chinese and don’t understand English, so if you’re a foreigner, I recommend downloading a translation app in advance. However, they are very kind, providing warm service and always willing to help with everything, from booking tours and recommending restaurants to suggesting places to visit. Even on the way back, they helped call a car for us. The entrance to the guesthouse may seem small, but it extends deep inside with multiple rooms, ready to accommodate travelers. It’s located in the old town area, where you can walk around and explore almost 24/7. Highly recommend to stay here if you come Lijiang. ♡♡♡

This place is definitely the best option for you! The owner is incredibly kind and helpful. They’ll assist you in planning your trip and even help with booking tickets. Not only do they serve breakfast, but Laoban also prepares lunch and dinner for guests—and after each meal, you’re offered tea or coffee. he does this because he genuinely wants to see his guests happy and to have good memories. The atmosphere is very friendly, making it easy to meet new people from all over the world. They even take guests to nice bars at night! The price is very affordable, and the rooms are clean and fully equipped with everything you need. If you ever have a problem, Laoban will be there to help, anytime. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

Strategically located inside Lijiang ancient town. Home stay villa well maintained and the environment full with authentic ancient home style. Within walking distance nearby include restaurant, fruits stall, convenience store and chinese well know Chagee. Breakfast great and the noodles soup tasty. Most important the owner villa will assigned someone contact you a head before your trip and during your stay. Little Seven@Xiaoqi, she is friendly and helpful. She help arrange pick up and drop off from train station to Villa homestay and vice versa. Also, she will provide recommendations and help arrange transport and ticket ahead. Love this Villa stay and will definitely return in future. Highly recommend to consider stay with this Villa. As good as 5 star hotel in terms of services.Check out some of the photo here

We had a lovely stay at Jinmao Purelax Lijiang, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. We were there during early June. The view from the room was amazing. It was wonderful to wake up to the Yu Long Snow Mountain every morning with a cool breeze. Breakfast was a good spread of traditional Chinese fare and international staples. We look forward to having good breakfasts every morning. The staff even packed for us breakfast when we departed earlier than the breakfast time for our day tour of Yu Long Snow Mountain. While overall, it was a good experience, there were some quirks, that we felt were slightly below our expectations befitting a Hyatt branded hotel. There wasn’t a proper mini fridge. We had to request for one. And it was not functioning properly - we eventually had to ask the staff to keep our medical items with their staff who delivered to our doorstep upon request, promptly. The air-conditioning was also controlled centrally and we could not adjust the temperature despite having a controller in our room. We were advised by the staff to keep the netted balcony doors open to let the fresh air in. But it was not possible when we sleep due to the bright light and the room was warm. The other freebies made up for the overall experience at Jinmao. We had a wonderful complimentary photoshoot at Bo Jue Travel Photography studio which was conveniently located within the hotel’s premises. The staff there were friendly, professional and made the photo shoot fun and enjoyable. We upgraded the package as the photographers and DI artists made fantastic work in double quick time. We also had a complimentary Pu’ Er Tea tasting session where we were greeted by a warm and attentive lady, Ah Qing. She was a great conversationalist and we enjoyed her company. We also checked out other features like the petting zoo, indoor swimming pool and the sauna. There are also many family friendly activities to participate in - there are plenty of opportunities to play within the premises! Jinmao Purelax Lijiang may not be the shiniest and newest hotel but this grand dame is a wonderful place for folks of all ages to play, relax and soak in the sights of what Lijiang has to offer.

This is a cozy and well-located homestay near two ancient towns — Lijiang Ancient City and Shuhe Ancient City. They offer convenient one-way transport to both, as well as pick-up service from the airport and train station, which is a great bonus. The rooms are spacious, clean, and offer beautiful lake views. The homestay is also equipped with a lift, making it especially convenient for guests with mobility needs. Overall, a highly recommended place to stay!

Beautiful decorated hostel, provides a sense of peace. My room had a huge window towards the trees. Was very nice to wake up to it. The worker didnt speak English but was very helpful! He helped me with everything and we manage with the translator. Close to the ancient town.

The host is very friendly and welcoming. She gave us recommendations on attractions and restaurants. She invited us to join go shopping in zhongyi market upon arrival and also offered us some food and tea in the next afternoon. However, we were about to leave for the 3.5 hours evening train, so the host offered to pack them in the plastic bags for us. The food really saved us because our train to Kunming was delayed to over 5 hours due to earthquake in Dali. The room is big and clean. Hot water works well. The whole guesthouse has an ancient style, which give us a sense of being in the Lijiang Old Town. The guesthouse also has two super adorable cats and some fish in the garden. Overall, I really like the environment, especially the peaceful vibe. The location of the hotel is a few minutes walk from the road (the whole ancient town does not allowed car or shared bike to get in). The guesthouse is located at the end of the small alley making it very peaceful. There also many restaurants nearby, especially, breakfast.

The service was great, they had a buggy service to take us from the main lobby to our rooms as it was quite a walk. The staff at the concierge- Nicholas was very helpful in assisting us with the purchase of the tickets for 云杉坪. However, the hotel itself was lacking several amenities compared to the other smaller boutique hotels we stayed, which was disappointing considering it is a more reputable chain hotel brand. The room was quite dusty and the humidifier was old and not effective at all.

The most satisfying part of my trip to Lijiang was staying at Heluju B&B! The location is amazing, right next to Zhongyi Market, allowing you to sample delicious local snacks and buy fresh fruit anytime, anywhere. The 101 express bus station, which goes directly to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is right outside the B&B, making it a great choice for travelers looking to visit the mountains! The B&B is right next to the Mufu Palace, making it easy to wander around the ancient city. The owner is so welcoming, we chatted over tea every day and shared great travel tips and great restaurants. Following his recommendations, we had a blast eating and having fun! The golden retriever at the B&B was the icing on the cake, making it hard not to want to touch it!
