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 needs some English lessons. Several times we made requests for cars, tours, etc. which were responded with many smiles and "yes, yes, yes" but when the time came to leave, nothing had been done and nobody at the desk knew anything as the morning staff and the night staff were not the same.

It's a minor quibble as everything eventually sorted itself out, but it would have been nice if one, we could have gotten better information about trips and tours from the front desk, and two, if our requests, once we made them, had been understood and fulfilled.

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 friendly and tried to help.

Bfast was a bit lacking as another reviewer mentioned, but I suppose it's better than nothing.

All in all, good stay, though I thought it was a bit expensive for rural china. Service level was high and location was good. Room was comfortable as was the bathroom.

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 the nice place to stay!!!

Loved this place - picked it because of the reviews here and they were right. It was really warm when I was in Lijiang but my room was lovely and cool because of the traditional design of the building. Didn't need AC.

As with so many Chinese beds these are firm - but I slept on extra pillows so was fine. The staff are lovely, so sweet and helpful - if you're sitting on one of the computer's they bring you tea. Yumei who runs the place is great and can help with all kinds of stuff.

Breakast is yummy and by candle light. The musican who plays in the courtyard is fab. It's a very relaxing place to be - even when Lijiang is at it's craziest. Sitting on the veranda escaping the afternoon sun looking over the whole town is heavenly.

I couldn't recommend the place highly enough.
