Shangri-La Apartments

This is quite a palatial place, but seems a little dated. The room was very comfortable, however the elevator has a bad smell in it. They had a great dinner banquet set up in the restaurant with western and Chinese food, it was very generous (cost 88 yuan per person for those staying in the hotel). The hotel is located alongside a small waterway which would be pleasant for a stroll. The staff were very attentive (but only spoke Mandarin). We were there in a slow time (just at the end of Spring Festival with CoVid still affecting international travel) so breakfast was a simple bowl of rice noodles brought to the room.

The staffs at counter desk were courteous, polite and well mannered and willing to go the extra mile to help by changing the room for me. Even the hotel cleaners were very courteous and well mannered which i appreciated them very much. This hotel has welcome self service drinks. I arrived too early for checkin and they accept my baggage and placed them behind their counter and gave me a reference tag for my baggage for security reason by so by matching the tag which i feel confident placing my baggage with the hotel.

I can only repeat what the other reviews are mentioning: it’s clean, got good amenities, but everything seems a bit old. We had some WiFi issues but when it was working it was good. In general, the service wasn’t that great. We arrived tired after a long drive, no help with parking the car or the luggage. Check in was the most rigorous we had, even checking all the flight and train numbers we took. Also didn’t allow us to take a rest first. We went on a hike and wanted to take some Baozi from the breakfast - forbidden (I found that in China this is usually no problem). However, I think for the price it’s fine and while it doesn’t look like it, it’s quite clean. Also the dinner was quite good, breakfast not so much.

The executive suite was great for my family of 4. They added a bed for us. And because it was my girl’s birthday, they gave us a free cake and the staff sang her a birthday song. The location of the hotel was great, the city Center was just a few minutes walk away and about 15 mins drive from the train station.

Nice place to stay for one night after the hiking. Directly on the end of the hiking tour. Food was good and they organised a bus which brought us back to Lijiang. We enjoyed the time. If you take a hot shower just give it some minutes for getting hot :)

I recently had my first experience staying in a bunk bed hostel, and it was fantastic. The lady boss was incredibly friendly, resourceful, and attentive, especially when I experienced altitude sickness. Despite my stay being only three nights, she made me feel completely at home, constantly looking out for me since I was traveling alone. Her warm hospitality was contagious, bringing together people from different countries and backgrounds to enjoy fun and dinners together. It was truly an amazing experience.

What a welcome sight at the end of the first day hiking. Our room with the balcony was just superb. Being able to sit out on the balcony and take in the view was wonderful. Also the food was delicious. So nice to have some western breakfast options available . Pancakes were delicious.

Parking is convenient. You can park for free and the parking lot is quite large. The self-driving tour experience is perfect. The service is also very good. The lady at the front desk will enthusiastically introduce the attractions. It is more complete than the guide we made ourselves. There are many places to play nearby, such as the ancient city, the big prayer flags, and the Songzanlin Temple. I have to say that Shangri-La is really good for taking pictures, and the scenery is really beautiful. I feel that my soul has been cleansed. The hotel experience is quite good. The price-performance ratio is still quite high
