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. ♡♡♡

Read a lot of reviews before booking this hotel and I am definitely convinced this is a 5 stars for location, amenities and service!
Hotel is within Lijiang ancient town means it’s very convenient to food and shopping area and it’s near the carpark means it’s accessible by car even though it’s in the old town.
Room is huge and is smart controlled, comes with Marshall speaker and Dyson hairdryer and also a humidifier. Bed is very comfortable. Hotel is beautifully renovated with many instagrammable corners. Breakfast has the Yunnan delicacy rice noodles and buffet, good night sweet soup is nice too. A pity I missed all 3 days of the afternoon tea break which looks good, as I was out most of the afternoon.
Best part is the service of the staff, everyone is so friendly, helpful especially our butler / manager Ah Hua, he guided us how to tour around Lijiang ancient town and give us advice on what to try or avoid, which is definitely very helpful for first time visitors like us. We really feel like home at La Maison and will definitely stay here next time and recommend to others!

Best location for bordering the old town (car accessible via main road) and having the view towards the old town equivalent to the 丽江之眼. Walkable distance to the food and pub street, and 大车轮。My tip is look no further and to get this hotel because you do not have to pull your luggage over uneven floor or stairs/slopes of old town, as compared to other homestay. Cool smart Controls, minimal smoke smell. Minor feedback for the hotel is the toilet can be more clean, but acceptable for me.

No words to describe how amazing our stay was here. The place is clean and location is great. Right in the middle of the Old Town. The view from the room (facing the river) was very pleasant! The owner and staff were all welcoming and friendly, even when there was language barrier. They made us feel comfortable throughout the stay! They also arranged the pickup and drop off (from the airport and to the train station a week in advance) and everything went smoothly. I cannot recommend this place enough. Great value for money! Plus, the breakfast was delicious too!

Overall, the stay was decent—the location is highly strategic, situated right in front of the entrance to Lijiang Old Town, and the place itself was clean and well-maintained.
However, we encountered a significant issue with the check-out time. Trip.com listed the check-out time as 2:00 p.m., but the homestay owner informed us it was actually 12:00 p.m. and mentioned that Trip.com had been notified about this discrepancy a long time ago. He also noted that the Chinese version of the listing has already been updated. Unfortunately, this caused serious disruption to our travel plans, as we had to check out two hours earlier than expected and were left without a clear plan for the remaining time. It's frustrating that this incorrect information is still shown on the platform, and we hope it gets corrected soon to prevent further inconvenience to future guests.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel conveniently located within the 古城 (Old Town). One of the biggest highlights was the pick-up service provided by the hotel — a true lifesaver, as navigating the maze of exits in the old town (where cars aren’t allowed) would have been quite a challenge on our own.
From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. We were warmly welcomed with tea and a thoughtful introduction to the amenities in our room, which really set the tone for a relaxing stay.
Breakfast was another standout — delicious and satisfying.
Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended if you’re planning a visit to the 古城!

We had an amazing stay at 朴致酒店 in Lijiang Old Town! We upgraded to the V5 room and it was absolutely worth it — the bed was super cozy, the bathtub was large and relaxing, and the automatic toilet was a nice modern touch. The hot water was consistent, and we loved the high-quality toiletries — the shampoo, body wash, and lotion all smelled great and felt luxurious.
The service here was beyond impressive. From the moment we arrived, staff helped carry our luggage through the Old Town to the hotel. We were offered thoughtful touches throughout our stay — delicious afternoon tea, fresh fruit, sweet soup at night, a hearty breakfast, and even laundry service that washed and dried our clothes in just 3 hours! We were truly amazed.
All the staff were incredibly polite and helpful, always going the extra mile. They greeted us warmly every day, quickly assisted with our room heating, and gave us genuine advice on what to buy locally. Even on our departure, they helped carry our bags — something we truly appreciated.
A special thank you to 小黑, our butler from 朴致酒店. She was exceptional — attentive, friendly, and professional. Her service made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re staying in Lijiang Old Town!

The stay was located in the ancient town which was pretty convenient and has loads of options for food. You will need to contact them prior to arriving and they will help you to bring the luggages in.
The room was fantastic. It was clean and the view was superb (panoramic view of the yulong snow mountain and the old town).
The staff there were the best part for this stay. They were so friendly and gave us tips & recommendations on Lijiang. And also tourist traps to avoid (which was really important and common).
Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back if i’m in Lijiang again.

GGuest UserEverything about this place, from location to hospitality, is amazing! The homestay arranged to pick us up at an intersection and carried our luggages all the way.
The sound proofing of the rooms are not that good though, so a word of caution for light sleepers.
During our stay, 小李 took really good care of us, never failed to ask what we intended to do on each day, provided help and suggestionsto us on what to do. We started and ended each day chatting with him. 😊
On our check out day, we had to leave at 6.30am to Shangri-La and 小李 woke up to help us with our luggages and waited with us till our driver came! We could not thank him enough and appreciate him going all the way to help us.
We had a wonderful 5-day stay and Lijiang made an impression on us. We definitely recommend anyone to stay there..

RRaviphaIt’s a small cosy bed and breakfast with the cutest and most attentive hosts. I was upgraded to a bigger room with a window and two floors. Heated blanket is provided but I didn’t have to use it as the room was already toasty warm just with the heater. The toilet has a bidet, just the perfect addition. The host is extremely attentive and helpful, always asking if I need any tea or snacks whenever they see me.
I also got help from the hotel in securing my day tour at jade dragon snow mountain. The host also packed some food for my mountain day trip, and when I came back, offered some ginger tea and snacks. I was so touched as I was completely exhausted and extremely hungry! Everyone at the hotel was so nice and attentive it made for a very comfortable stay. Oh yes, and don’t have to worry if you don’t know much Chinese as they are able to speak English as well!
The location is very convenient, right next to Mu’s mansion. So even if i just wonder around or if my phone map doesn’t work, i just followed directions to mu’s mansion and found the hotel very easily.
Overall I was very happy with my stay here. Thank you!!

XXiaomeiqiuThe stone road is carrying Nassie's ancient ballad
Moss marks over the stone wall, greenery in the horns to live
Pull open the wood building carved window
The mountains fell into the verse of summer.
Morning mist is the crumbled moonlight
Over the blue tiles, into a soft river
We set off on the cloud
The jasper of Wenhai lies in the arms of the mountains
Kiss the blue of the sky.
White mist on the meadow, covered with starling whispers
Ten fingers tied in step
The wind-bell-like birds
Time spreads into the clouds here.
Every inch is wrapped in honey-colored parrot
The copper pot boils in the evening and fireworks on the earth
Folk songs and wind bells make moonlight wine
When the last star falls into the eye
I know that all tenderness has
Root in memory and grow into eternal galaxies

LLeeWe reach Lijiang old city at 830am after midnight flight from Malaysia. The inn keeper was there to meet us and take our bags.. Being a ancient city, it's all full of stones stairs and winding small lanes. Need to have a good shoes and grip. After settling down, Xiao Fen, the inn manager recommended us some nice food to eat while the room was being prepared for us. At 11am, our room wa ready and we took a nap before heading for more food.
Xiao Fen recommend to us the do and don't, to escape tourist traps. She is so sincere. The room view was excellent, overlooking the old city as its location was slightly uphill area. To get a taxi, it's so easy, just a 5mins walk uphill. This area only Green local taxi are allowed to pick and send customer uphill.
And before I end the review, the breakfast was excellent. The noodles was great and lots of other variety of food, like corn, pumpkin porridge, sweet potatoes, yogurt, steamed bao, milk, soya bean drink..

GGuest User🌟 A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Ancient Lijiang! 🌟
My stay at Boxin Yunshe·Academic Garden was nothing short of magical! Nestled in the enchanting lanes of Lijiang Ancient City, this hotel perfectly blends traditional Naxi architecture with modern comfort. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and a refreshing cup of local tea—a lovely touch that set the tone for the entire visit.
The rooms are a serene oasis, tastefully decorated with wooden carvings, soft linen, and elegant touches that reflect the region’s cultural heritage. I loved waking up to the gentle sunlight streaming through the latticed windows and the soothing sounds of the courtyard fountain. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom amenities were top-notch.
What truly sets this hotel apart is its “Academic Garden” concept. The lush courtyard, filled with blooming flowers and ancient texts on display, feels like a peaceful retreat for the mind and soul. I spent hours reading in the cozy library nook or sipping Yunnan coffee on the rooftop terrace, which offers stunning views of the ancient tiled rooftops and distant mountains.
The staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable—whether it was recommending hidden local eateries, arranging a sunrise hike to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, or sharing stories about Naxi culture. Their hospitality felt genuine and heartfelt.
Location-wise, it’s unbeatable! You’re steps away from the bustling markets, quaint cafes, and the iconic Sifang Street, yet the hotel remains a quiet sanctuary away from the crowds. Don’t miss their breakfast spread, featuring local specialties like Lijiang baba (savory pancakes) and homemade yogurt—it’s the perfect way to start the day.
If you’re seeking a stay that combines culture, comfort, and tranquility, Boxin Yunshe·Academic Garden is an absolute must. I left feeling rejuvenated and already dream of returning!

MMellomiI stayed at cure bleeding for 3 nights and met some nice people.
The owners took the initiative to message me on trip app before I arrived (which I regrettably missed out) so check your trip inbox when you’re heading over. The lodging is near to the entrance, a few minutes down the slope and can be recognised by their white coloured short wall. The lodging is family run and Boss’s brother personally came to fetch my friend and I from the entrance. He helped carried our luggage to the lodging (thank you!)
Room is cosy with some automated features (e.g offing of lights using voice command). Pretty nice if you just want to lounge in the room after walking the ancient city. The toilet comes with heated toilet seats with an auto flush system. The lodging provides bathroom slippers to use as the toilet floor gets wet after bathing. Fruits, tea and snacks provided upon arrival (see photo)
Personally prefer their mee xian for breakfast, my day 3’s meexian was good! Boss invited me to join for a drink at the front yard on one of the nights and I got to know some nice people- it’s safe, the boss made it a point to see that I reached my room safely.
To note: the naxi photoshoot is outsourced to a company. It is complimentary with the stay in terms of the shoot plus the make up but they charge for the photos (1 free photo per room, 50rmb for each subsequent photo). We were told at the start and decided to continue for the experience.
Managed to do a comfortable and economical share ride back to Dali through arrangements made by the inn. Overall, there is a personal touch to this inn. Will come again!

VVintage VinnyLocated near the heart of Lijiang Ancient Town, this place offers a beautiful space to rest with spectacular views from the rooftop.
The owner has great taste, recommending places to eat, offering tea, flower cakes and a celebratory toast of bijou! 🥂
I left a hat behind on a 5:30am start to next destination which was efficiently located by the staff and I was able to collect several days later on return.
I couldn’t recommend this place more highly.
PS Take into consideration that as this place is near the centre of the old town, you will carry your belongings several hundred metres to get to the place and the sidewalk in town is relatively unforgiving on your luggage wheels

AArifThe biggest highlight of this accommodation is the incredibly kind host. Very helpful with many matters.
At first, it was difficult to find the location, but the host guided us. Taxis can't reach the front door, but no worries—the host was already waiting to help carry the luggage. The location is at the entrance of Lijiang Old Town, on a hill with an amazing view. Close to shops and restaurants.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with flower cake and Pu'er tea.
You’ll receive assistance with anything related to your trip in Lijiang.
The bed is comfortable for sleeping. The building is an antique-style house like those from ancient China, which I really like. The only downside is that the partitions between rooms aren’t very soundproof, but again, they offer solutions for that.
A great place for your holiday in Lijiang. Definitely will come again.

Excellent
DDominic MaximilianWe 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.

Outstanding
Kkmi.kleineeckeIf there’s a scale of 10 or 100, i would rate it 10/10 and 100/100. Service is crazy amazing, before arriving they gave me full of information of weather, how to get to the hotel,… They picked me up at the front of old town since car cannot come in, helped me with heavy luggages through all the stone path, when I left they also did the same, even helped me to call taxi, like I don’t have to do anything at all. Super nice, friendly and dedicate. I even got free room upgraded to a bigger room and on 2nd floor as courtesy. Breakfast included also taste good. Breathtaking view of Lijiang old town, you will own the whole check in location starting from sunrise till before lunch time (which the restaurant open for lunch for external guest). We also got hotpot for lunch here, taste really good. Seriously nothing to complain a out this place. If you need anything, just ask, they will take care of everything. Super recommend 💕
