"They have lockers, good location very close to the old town, it's cheap I know. But the cleanness is not the best, they just give you a sheet so there is never somebody who cleans the bed, I found so much dust on the corners. The worst was the people who were living there they made their on mess like their house., they were no travelers, so it was not pleasant. I could not sleep due to the noise of the roommates. They should put travelers on different rooms. But the installations are ok, they have a living room and two machines for work out."

The newly opened Xiaoyuan Youth Hostel is very clean in every aspect and self-service check-in is also very convenient! I came down from the mountain and rested for two days, basically just sleeping and basking in the sun, which was pretty good!

"We highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting Lijiang. The location is within Lijiang Ancient City, so sightseeing is not a problem. The bedroom had woodgrain tones and was personally exciting to me. It was very clean, with no trash or dust. The bed was comfortable with thoughtful touches such as a hand-held light and electric blanket. It's also helpful that you can use the washing machine for free. I can't say the restrooms are clean, but if you're used to living abroad, you won't have any problems. The atmosphere inside the store was very lively, with staff and customers having fun playing board games. And above all, I would like to thank the manager of this store for his help. I'm not the type to ask questions myself, but he always cared about me and helped me in many ways. If you are worried about traveling alone or want to socialize, we highly recommend this hotel."

"Had a really memorable time at this hostel. Stayed in the dorm - clean and spacious. Great location for exploring Shuhe Ancient Town.
The dogs are lovely company with personality. Lots of nice spaces - multiple common rooms, a very nice rooftop.
I was treated to a very helpful, welcoming group of staff. I really enjoy their energy and attitudes, and wish I could spend more time with them.
Staff also assisted with good priced (better than Didi) transport to and from Gan He Ba hiking trail.
Overall, very cool and inviting group of people who help make this hostel."

"The location is good, just one bus ride from the station. There is a large courtyard. The staff cleans it every day, so it's very clean. I'll stay here again when I come to Lijiang!"
The design of the house is very stylish, the toilet is very clean, and the yard is also very clean and not messy. The proprietress looked fierce at first, but after chatting for a while, I found that she is a person who likes to share stories. If you don’t know where to go, you can ask the proprietress. The proprietress will recommend a place. There are very cute cats and dogs in the house. As a foreigner, I highly recommend this place because this experience made my whole trip very happy. I will definitely stay here next time and recommend my friends to stay here! I recommend putting a kettle in the lobby next time so everyone can get some water if they want. Every time I feel like it’s troublesome for the lady boss to fill water for me. If you want to find a clean and quiet place, this hostel is definitely your choice!

Perfect
GGuest UserThis homestay strongly recommended by friends is really great! You can drive directly, and you can park for free at the door, which is very convenient. You need to change slippers at the entrance as soon as you enter the house, which is very ritual. The hygiene here is really impeccable. Every part of the lobby and the room is clean and tidy, especially there is a large tea table in the lobby. There are also tea tables in the yard and the room, creating a strong tea atmosphere. The room area is very large and makes people feel particularly comfortable. It was also very pleasant to chat with the boss. I lay down here for two days. I was really comfortable and relaxed physically and mentally. In short, at this price, its price/performance ratio is really super high, and I highly recommend it to everyone!
GGuest UserThe host is a middle-aged lady who speaks softly and is very considerate. She will contact you in advance to let you know the check-in time to avoid being away from the hotel. She will also give you some general tips on how to avoid pitfalls in Lugu Lake. She is a bit of a clean freak, so both the public area and the room are kept very clean.

GGuest UserThis is a very good choice to live in Lijiang. It is in the center of the ancient city and convenient to go everywhere. I stayed in the largest room with a 270-degree view. The view was so amazing that I didn't want to leave because I felt like I hadn't stayed long enough.
The boss and his wife are not the kind of people who would actively ask for good reviews. In fact, as long as the B&B is good and does what it should do, we will naturally give good reviews. Because I am a girl coming to Lijiang, I feel safe living here.

AAlice Kang88The 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.

GGurpreetVery beautiful hostel. Location is just outside of old town. Staff is very helpful. Cleaning is average. Only one thing is that bed is very uncomfortable. Mattress is so much thin  I don’t sleep comfortably both 2 tonight atmosphere is very good but due to offseason hostel is full empty They have a very beautiful cat and naughty dog both or very beautiful and cute.
GGuest UserThe room is clean and hygienic. It's my first time in a youth hostel. The atmosphere is great. The owners are very enthusiastic. There are shared dining activities at noon and in the evening. The taste is also very good. There are many people and it's lively. Many people come here to travel alone. They have a lot of fun here. If you come alone to travel, you can't go wrong staying at TravelJi Youth Hostel!

XXiaoxigua555I was very satisfied. I booked Shuhe K2 Youth Hostel that day. Due to a delay in my trip, I didn’t arrive at Shuhe Ancient Town until after ten o’clock in the evening. The beautiful girl at the front desk even called me to ask me about my situation, which was very considerate.
This youth hostel has complete facilities and is clean and sanitary. There are also various entertainment facilities on the first floor. There are many energetic young people in the hostel. You can feel at home here and make many friends.
Compared with Lijiang Old Town, Shuhe Ancient Town is really clean and I prefer Shuhe Ancient Town.
Friends who come to Shuhe Ancient Town must choose K2 Youth Hostel. Five-star recommendation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

GGuest UserUncles and aunts are very good, the room is clean and tidy, it is OK from the ancient city, it can be reached on foot, but the toiletries are a bit scrawled, the paper cup is broken once the water is received, there is nothing wrong with other places, and it is recommended
GGuest UserIt is recommended not to book if you come by car. There is no special parking space. There are only two parking spaces on the roadside in front of the hotel, but they are basically occupied. Fortunately, when I went there, there was a parking space in front of another hotel farther away, and the boss was very enthusiastic to take me there to park, but it was still troublesome. They are all small roads. For drivers with less than ten years of driving experience and no 360-degree panoramic drivers, parking here is really difficult. . If you don't drive, this hotel is still good. The price is affordable, the environment is clean, and the half-hour walk to the ancient city is acceptable.
