"Very impressive. The hotel is located at the top of the Old town which gives a spectacular view of the mountains. The room is comfortable and the free minibar is also a plus. The staff were willing to help but couldn't communicate in English which is fine because WeChat can translate everything. The breakfast menu offers a variety of choices but the portions are quite small so we had to order many times and the wait was a bit long. Highly recommended."

InterContinental Lijiang Ancient Town Resort by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great visit! Especially enjoyed visiting the tea house and learning from the tea master. Amazing architecture, service, breakfast, and grounds. Convenient location right next to the Old Town. Glad we stayed there."

Lijing Yunman Mushanxue lnn

10/10 Excellent

"We were there by the mid-autumn festival. They share a barbecue with all the guest. Staff was very nice. The room is clean and have a very comfortable bed. Just to let you know. The taxis drop you in the entrance of the city. Then you should walk to the hotel. When we arrive. I text to the hotel. They immediately send staff to pick us up."

Lijiang Hotel JunPoXuan

10/10 Excellent

"All of the great reviews are real. The staff is very helpful and Amy’s help with our planning was amazing. We even had to leave our power banks at the airport (non CCC) and she got us one delivered to the hotel in a few hours. The hotel’s location is very quiet, but also only a few steps away from the busy old town. It was a perfect combination for us."

"place looks beautiful! we booked a suite with one bed room! it is a one bedroom house with yard! the place looks very nice! however, the back yard door is open from outside, people can come to house inside yard from outside this back door!"

Yiyuan Snow Mountain View Historical Naxi House - Lijiang Old Town Mufu branch

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpful staff. Met us at the entrance to old town and moved our luggage in (even though late arrival and pouring rain). Lovely quaint courtyard and simple quaint room with good king bed and warm shower. Staff helped us arrange transport for Tiger Leaping Gorge day hike and tickets to a live performance. Like other places it is best to have WeChat set up in advance for communication and if you want, for payment too. Special commendations to staff Bob and Roxana for their warm welcome, copious amounts of tea, and assistance. We would come here again."
