Slow life inn Reviews

Excellent location and staff!

(+) Staff very helpful. They don’t speak English but we used translator to communicate, they were very patient to address our inquiries. They offer free pick-ups or drop-offs. The hotel is closed to the old town (less than 5 minutes walk). Tea is available. (-) For people who are sensitive to cigarette smoke, careful this hotel is a smoking hotel. Bathroom is not convenient (toilet and shower next to each other). The bed was not comfortable (very hard). There are works around, so quite noisy. I wouldn’t go back although the staff was nice

Short walking distance to Dukezhong ancient town. The common areas such as reading area and kitchen area are tastefully designed. The beds are also comfortable, the only drawback was the toilet, the shower area is not separated from the toilet bowl. The person at the front desk was very friendly.

We are very impressed with the enthusiastic and energetic young lady manager. Organised pickup from the train station and patiently explained and took us to buy tickets to visit Potatso National Park . Exceptionally good service.!!

We stay 3 nights at this hotel where we find it comfortable and convenience. The staffs are very helpful. They arrange everything nicely from pick-up, check-in, tour reservation and anything we need. The room is clean and amenities are necessary. The location is at the good spot; only 2-3 mins walk to reach the ancient town. Also, from the rooftop we can see Dafo temple and Shangri-la town.

Excellent small hotel just outside Shangri-la ancient city. Excellent customer service, they will do anything to make your stay comfortable.

Fantastic location next to the old town, tasty breakfast and comfortable room. Staff go out of there way to make sure you're enjoying your stay (even with the language barrier) and even dropped us off at the train station!

Friendly staff and will assist you while staying..

Great inn run by 2 young friendly ladies with great service. Accommodation is clean and modern. Highly recommended.

Beautiful hotel in shangri-la! Thank you for anything

The great location of the Slow life inn lets you explore the old town without using any kind of transportations. The service is woderful. The ladies, who work there were extremely helpful. The room had everything we need, electric blankets were very useful to keep us warm.

I have stayed in many hotels in old town Shangrila for the past 12 years. This is one of the best. The place is extraordinary, clean, I mean, squeaky clean. It looks as though it must’ve been refurbished or decorated recently. It’s got a modern decor in the room is outfitted very nicely. I would certainly come and stay here again. The desk ladies were very friendly and offered to go get my car and bring it back to park it outside. I did not know that was local parking in the alley, so I had parked in a pay parking lot down the street that I had used many times before. I will definitely be back the next time I happen to be in Shangrila. 

Pros: excellent location, close enough to the old town without being noisy at all; extremely friendly staff, who picked us up from the airport for free, helped us with the luggage all the time, and gave great advice about tours in Shangri-La; clean; comfy beds; good WiFi connection Something to improve: the bathroom- shower was a little difficult to use, and it would be great to separate dry and wet areas; breakfast was good but lack variety- we had the same for three days straight

Good location, owner nice too, she picked us from the bus center. She contacted me when I had booked from trip.com The breakfast was a bit small. but the Shangrila old town is very charming at day and night with good restaurants!
