YIYUN hotel ★★★

📍 No. 97, Xingren Upper Section, Wuyi Street, Gucheng District, Lijiang

"Need to install cloth hanger and notice about air ventilation, bathroom water flushing sluggish and room safety concern."

The Bivou Lijiang
9.7 (547 reviews)

The Bivou Lijiang ★★★★

📍 No. 16, Zhonghe Village, Shuhe Ancient Town, Gucheng District, Lijiang

"The hotel has a great ambiance, and the service was excellent and very thoughtful. I didn't have to touch my luggage at all; the hotel staff handled everything. The only minor drawback is that the hotel facilities are a bit dated. For a hotel of this caliber, especially with so many international guests, having Dyson hairdryers should be standard, not just 'Laifen'. It was a bit humid, and there was some mold near the sink. However, other aspects of the sanitation were indeed very good. The facilities are probably due for an upgrade. A big plus is that the hotel staff always took off their shoes when entering the room."

Songzhuju · Coffee and Tea Holiday Villa · Designer Garden ★★★

📍 No. 40, Xingren Upper Section, Wuyi Street, Gucheng District, Lijiang

"One of the best hotels we stayed at, especially for such an affordable price! We stayed here for 3 nights and had such a wonderful experience. We were warmly welcomed by Mr. Ah Fei, who prepared tea, fruits and biscuits for us. He was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He even helped us settle our laundry when the dryer didn’t fully dry our clothes and we had to be out for the day. Since we stayed for 3 nights, the hotel also offered us complimentary car service, which was really convenient. They even had someone help carry our luggage from the car to the hotel, so we didn’t have to worry about anything. The breakfast was really good too! They also prepared breakfast for our kids, which we really appreciated. If you’re Muslim, just let them know and they will prepare a Muslim-friendly menu for you. The hotel also helped arrange a driver for our Yulong Snow Mountain and Blue Moon Valley trip. The driver helped us settle all the tickets and briefed us on what to do, which made the whole trip so much easier. If you’re not sure where to visit, just ask Mr. Ah Fei! He’ll recommend places to go and can help arrange an affordable driver to guide you around. We booked a king room and travelled with two kids, and the hotel kindly provided an extra mattress and towels for free. The hotel itself is so peaceful and calming, and the garden is absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed our 3-night stay here. Great hospitality, very helpful staff and definitely worth the price. Highly recommended, especially for families!"

Even though it's within the ancient city, it's not noisy at all.

InterContinental Hotels LIJIANG ANCIENT TOWN RESORT by IHG

"The hotel is located right within the ancient city, an excellent location. In the evenings, you can explore the Zhongyi Night Market, which is very lively. The concierge added us on WeChat in advance and meticulously arranged all our requests. The front desk staff, Miya, was warm, thoughtful, and quick-witted, with high work efficiency. She left a deep impression on me. We stayed in an open-plan suite, which was spacious enough, and there's a small courtyard on the first floor, perfect for enjoying tea and relaxing peacefully. InterContinental's quality is consistently excellent, a testament from a member. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the hotel lobby are majestic; on clear days, you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance. If I visit Lijiang again, InterContinental will still be my first choice."

Yuexi Snow Mountain Courtyard View Hotel (Old Town of Lijiang Branch)

"I've been here many times, and I came here for my wedding. I accidentally lost my room card, and the owner didn't say anything, which was so touching. I hope everyone keeps the hygiene clean, it's really great, and everything is disposable! A must-choose. Traveling to Yunnan, a comfortable and clean hotel added a lot of warmth to my journey and allowed me to immerse myself in the charming local customs of Yunnan. This hotel boasts an elegant and tranquil environment.

Wanglishan · Bonfire Party | Snow Mountain Panoramic Starry Sky Art Resort Villa (Shuhe Old Town)

"My girlfriend and I chose Wangli Mountain for our Lijiang vacation, and the overall experience was fantastic. The guesthouse is very close to Shuhe Ancient Town, making it convenient to walk there for food and sightseeing. After exploring, we could leisurely stroll back to the guesthouse without needing taxis, enjoying peace and quiet away from the bustling town. Our nights were very comfortable. The room's amenities truly impressed us. The bathroom had a Kohler shower with good water pressure, perfect for a relaxing hot shower after a tiring day. The room also came with a Husky mini-fridge, great for drinks and local fruits we bought. It operated silently, ensuring our rest wasn't disturbed. Plus, there was a Marshall speaker; playing some soft music in the evening created a wonderfully romantic atmosphere for us two. We booked a room with a view, and on clear days, we could see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from our floor-to-ceiling windows – the view was incredible. The room was spotlessly clean, and the smart home controls were very convenient. The bedding was soft and comfortable, making our stay very reassuring. The guesthouse's common areas were also lovely, with a swimming pool and even a bonfire in the evenings. We enjoyed leisurely walks and chats in the courtyard. The butler service was perfectly balanced. They proactively helped with our luggage upon arrival and there was no pushy sales. When we asked for recommendations for dining and tour routes, their suggestions were very practical. The guesthouse included breakfast, welcome fruits upon check-in, and a very useful laundry room. This place is ideal for couples looking to relax, as you can easily explore the ancient town or simply enjoy quality time together at the guesthouse. The amenities, environment, and service were all top-notch. Our stay was incredibly comfortable, and we'd definitely consider staying here again on our next trip to Lijiang."

"What an amazing getaway! If you are more into nature and culture....THIS IS YOUR SPOT! It is tucked away inside Shuhe Old Town but you would never know. Once you get there, it is quiet. They are very proud to show you their gardens, their squirrels (they are well provided for), their cats, and what they truly enjoy. We were welcomed with drinks, fruit, and delicious buckwheat bread while we were introduced to the dining area and the movie and games area. Their menu is wonderful. Breakfast is provided and has a set menu of Asian versus Western (i had French toast one morning and pancakes the next) and then an extra section where you can also have yogurt with toppings, fruits, breads, coffee, etc. Other meals are ordered from the menu. The variety is wonderful and the taste and quality are worth it. After traveling throughout China for a few weeks, I really just wanted a burger. The Yak burger was amazing! WARNING: once you pick it up for the first bite, you must commit to it. There is no putting it down. My hands were just a joyous mix of meat juice, cheese dripping, pickle juice, egg dripping....luckily there is a restroom right there to wash up after. Our room was very cute, small, odd, but it worked for us and you could tell it would be cozy come the snow seasons-which we will return for. The odd part was the steps that lead down into the bathroom. I thought, oooo how fun! Not so much in the middle of the night if you are not used to it. But not all rooms have that so don't let that discourage you from enjoying this place. If you are finished walking Shuhe Old Town, there are more options. We decided to walk around the back of the garden. Following the trail, we wound up in a very beautiful park with water and bridges and places to sit. Eventually, we came out at one of the ends of Shuhe. Again, you would never have known because there was no interrupting noises to tell you otherwise. One of the days we took Didi to Baisha Old Town. Another must go! We spent a full day there and still did not finish. Even the rain didn't stop everyone from enjoying everything. Make sure you find the silk art school. It is tucked away but they have a wonderful program. I could do an entire blog on their contributions and empowerment for women but for now, just go enjoy and buy something, support them. Overall, we loved this place and will go back. We were not able to enjoy the mountain this time."

The hotel offered us a free room upgrade since one was available. The staff will gladly help you plan your stay with attractions to see and hotels to visit. There is free airport pickup/drop off, free coffee or tea with snacks in the cafe, and you get to make a tea cake yourself at a partnering teastore for free as well."
