We chose this hotel due to the reviews on tripadvisor and stayed for 2 nights. Our overall experience was good, the hotel is really clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I personally love the look of the hotel. A couple of things to take note of: - There were indeed lots of huge mosquitoes but their reaction... more

While it is certainly more expensive than the other Zen Garden location (US$143/night), the Lion Hill site is truly wonderful. As soon as we stepped into the courtyard, we knew we were in a very special place. It is superbly designed to take advantage of the hillside, with water running and falling into a lovely pond with bright fish. Our... more

My wife and I spent 2 weeks in China right after the Olympic Games. Stayed at Zen Garden for 3 days while visiting Lijiang. We enjoyed this hotel very much. That's why I decided to write this review since I rarely write any review unless I'm truly impressed or deeply disappointed. To start with, we would recommend contacting the hotel... more

Good luck finding this place but once you do you may realize that you're staying at the best hotel in Old Town Lijiang. The town is a labyrinth. Everytime we left the hotel we had trouble finding our way back. And I'm good with directions and finding my way. The breakfast was good. The room was a little small, as... more

this was my 3rd trip to Lijiang, for RMB 500 the room was substantially cheaper than my 2nd trip to Lijiang (stayed at the Banyan Tree) & much more expensive vs. the RMB 100 room I stayed at the first time (a youth hostel in old town) I loved the antiques around the hotel & the lobby/garden /public areas were... more

The rate prevented me from giving the hotel 5 stars as I found it quite pricey for Lijiang/China at CAD85. The room was small but very clean and functional; the bathroom also small but very clean and modern. The breakfast was sub par compared to everything else the hotel offered. It has ambiance, is close to the old town (which... more

We enjoyed everything but the communication. The room was warm and cozy. The atmosphere of the place just wonderful. The breakfasts tasty. The downside was communicating with the staff. While we well understand that English language communication in China can be a real challenge, for a hotel that markets itself to western travelers, we really felt the front desk staff... more

STAYED AT A GUESTHOUSE FOR 1 NT, MAMA NAXI and couldn't take it as I thought it was absolutely disgusting. Moved into this place for 500 RMB a nt. Room was nice and fairly modern for Lijiang old city. Good location right by the heart of the old town. Always had about 2-3 staff on hand and were all really... more

The hotel has a nice clean room. Good service. Nice View. Breakfast is not so good for an Asian like me. But I found that they tried to improve after my complain. All rooms are open-air, so we, as a big group, were complained from an old couple for a noise. But it was only 21.00. Over all, This is... more
