To arrive to a room facing the waterwheel and entrance to the old town was just magic. This hotel was comfortable and the service good. It is also sited on the edge of a stream that continues into the old town in one direction and attractive gardens a short walk away in the other. The breakfast room/restaurant overlooks this stream... more

Right opposite the old town literally 2 minutes walk. Rooms comfortable and staff helpful. No hot water for showers even after complaints but rooms on one side of the corridor had some. Worth it for the location. Old town shops worth a look and lots of good local restaurants. For those who like nightlife, lots of places along bar street... more

We were on a textile tour and our US guide booked us here. (She's been to China 32 times). Some of the reviews mention the karaoke and the singing down below and yes, we heard it but it was no big deal. Get the rooms that face Jade Snow Mtn. The breakfast was plenty and you could have just about... more

Location of Grand Hotel Lijiang is perfect. It is just on border of old town of Lijiang - with all main happenings take place just beside hotel. We were staying with our family, parents and boys of 2, 5 and 7 years. We tried to get big room as we reserved - there was junior suite and presidential suite on... more

Whilst nothing overly special the 'Grand Hotel Lijiang' appeared on first sight to be a perfectly nice hotel and would be good for a 2 night stop in Lijiang. It's well placed in the middle of town and the rooms are perfectly adequate whilst again nothing special. The front desk staff were also very good and helpful in most cases... more

When arriving in the hotel we noticed the great location right next to the old town (an Unesco location). Hotel was a little bit outdated, rooms were good, breakfast was excellent as well as the restaurant for dinner. However, when we stayed there, all restaurants next door in the hotel had some karaoke thing going on for all nights. And... more

After arriving in the evening in Lijiang, our taxi driver didn't know where the Zen Garden Hotel was, so we ended up staying at the Grand Lijiang Hotel. We also paid around $40 U.S. per night and stayed for 2 nights. The hotel was sterile, and the room was basic, with twin beds, an outdated bathroom, and empty walls. However,... more

Right on the edge of the old town, this hotel has well designed, calm rooms, a lovely fruit welcome basket, and beautiful views of the mountains and the old town life. Breakfast buffet is included, and has really good Chinese (and western) foods. The staff booked a place for me at a good price in Guilin, my next destination. when... more
