Best Lijiang Hotels

"Honestly, 'The Street Where the Wind Dwells' B&B is the most comfortable and genuinely hospitable place I've ever stayed in Lijiang! The location is absolutely fantastic! It's nestled in a quiet alley right by the Old Town, just a few minutes' walk to all the lively spots, yet incredibly peaceful at night – you won't hear a peep. The rooms genuinely feel upscale! We booked the 'Stargazer Room', and through its huge glass window, you get panoramic views of the Old Town rooftops. At night, you can even see the stars – enjoying the night view while soaking in the tub was pure bliss. But the absolute highlight was the owner, Brother Ma – he's incredibly warm and genuine! The moment we arrived at the alley entrance, he jogged out from afar to help us with our luggage. As soon as we stepped inside, he offered us tea – not just out of politeness, but he genuinely chatted with us, sharing tips on authentic local restaurants and small pubs with a great vibe. Even when we came back late at night, we'd often find him in the courtyard, chatting and having tea with other guests. It truly felt like coming home to family. On our departure day, he even gave us some of his homemade cherry wine, saying, ”Come back next time for another drink, and remember the wind of Lijiang!” His words truly warmed my heart. This B&B offers a much more authentic and enjoyable experience than a typical hotel. If I ever return to Lijiang, I'll definitely be staying at 'The Street Where the Wind Dwells' again!"

"Owner is very helpful and the rooms are big. Like the quiet and peaceful surrounding. It is very close to eatery and old town. Convenient to take didi as well. Highly recommended for family trip."

"The location of the B&B is very good, right in the ancient city. The room is very clean, large and spacious, which is very rare. You can add an extra bed. The rooms in other B&Bs in the ancient city are very small. The owner and the proprietress are very nice and welcoming. There is a platform for taking photos and checking in on the roof of the B&B. You can see the whole ancient city. The scenery is very good! Very good treasure B&B"

"My wife and I visited Lijiang for the first time, and our stay at this place truly enhanced our trip. The location is incredibly convenient for exploring the Old Town. The panoramic views overlooking the Old Town are simply breathtaking. In the evenings, after a stroll back from the bar street, we'd sit on the viewing platform for a bit, enjoying a beer with my wife and watching the city lights twinkle below. While the music from the bar street can be quite lively, you won't hear a thing once you're inside your room (personally verified in Room 216!). Breakfast is provided. On our check-out day, I spent a blissful hour and a half enjoying breakfast on the viewing platform, just completely lost in thought. The photos I've shared were taken during that time. And now, for the most important part! If you're visiting for the first time, definitely contact the owner beforehand. They'll help with your luggage and even pick you up at the main road to ensure you don't get lost. These aren't amenities you'd necessarily expect, but the owner thoughtfully arranged them all. The owner also recommended and arranged an Ancient Tea Horse Road tour, which was fantastic! It included round-trip transfers, and the owner even personally took us to the pick-up point – I honestly wouldn't have found the meeting point without him. He also helped us book a shared shuttle to Lugu Lake. There are so many other thoughtful details, but I won't list them all here. Seriously, just add him on WeChat!"

"Perfect Experience, host was very responsive and help us with car booking and restaurants recommendation. They fetch us from the car drop off point and send a Trishaw to pick up our luggage. Was extremely accommodating to all our request and very friendly overall. Other than that the room was very spacious, everything is provided. There’s washing machine and dryer on property too."

"This homestay really didn't disappoint me. The decoration style is the type I like. The flowers and plants in the yard and the decoration of the room are very distinctive. Traveling around is also very convenient, the boss is also very good, and any needs will be met as much as possible. Brothers and sisters come to Lijiang to choose his home."

"The staff were helpful and friendly, but the hotel is in serious need of renovation. The photos online are outdated and don’t match the actual rooms. In my room, the wardrobe was blocked by the bed, so I couldn’t use it. There was no real space to unpack, just a small portable hanger. I was relieved to stay only two nights. The balcony is covered, which should be clearly mentioned in the description. The kitchenette was very small with only a kettle and two paper cups — not really usable. The fridge was tiny, unplugged when I arrived, and didn’t cool properly. The bathroom was cramped, with no space to hang towels or set down toiletries. There was no hand soap or small towels. The shower area had a warming light and towel hooks, but once used, everything stayed wet. Basic toiletries like body wash, shampoo, and conditioner were provided. The hotel has great potential. The location is excellent, the staff are wonderful, and the courtyard and large villa are nice features. However, I’d only recommend staying here after the facilities have been upgraded. The note is down a steep sets of stairs. The staff came to meet us at the top and help with our luggage when we arrived and when we left."

"Our family of nine had the most incredible stay here. The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed, and perfectly clean, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. The highlight was definitely waking up to the stunning mountain views each morning — absolutely unforgettable. It was the perfect place for our family to relax, reconnect, and enjoy peaceful surroundings. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a scenic and serene getaway!"

"I absolutely loved the guesthouse's overall decor and ambiance, especially their charming little garden. It was incredibly relaxing to just sit there and sip tea. As for cleanliness, the 'Ayi' (cleaning lady) tidied up every day. The rooms even came with a humidifier and an air purifier – such thoughtful touches! Big thumbs up 👍🏻. Xiao Lu and Long Ge were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They not only assisted us in planning our itinerary but also recommended amazing local eateries. They even enthusiastically invited us to a bar to hang out – so much fun! 😂 And last but certainly not least, out of all my past accommodation experiences, their breakfast was hands down the best I've ever had! Seriously, my main motivation to wake up early every morning was to enjoy the delicious rice noodles prepared by the 'Ayi'! I stayed for several days and happily ate it every single morning, haha. Oh, and their pickled radishes are also incredibly tasty! The breakfast is clearly made with so much care and offers a great variety. If you're visiting, you absolutely *must* try their breakfast."

"I am very satisfied with the room! If I come to Lijiang again, I will definitely book it again! Being able to choose this room really adds extra points to this trip! My companions have been praising me for choosing a good one! Service: We arrived very late that day, but there was still a special car to pick us up, and there was also a special housekeeper to help us transport from the car to the homestay, which was super considerate! Sanitation: The sanitation is very clean. As a person who travels frequently, it is really nice to have such a sanitation service experience at such a price! Facilities: The facilities are very complete, and the heating will be turned on in advance in winter! It is super warm when you enter the room! Service: The service is amazing! There are housekeepers and aunties 24 hours a day. If you want to wash clothes, you can talk to the housekeeper or aunt, and they will help you wash and dry the clothes and send them to your room at night [Such service is really considerate, so you can go out and play with peace of mind]"
