Lijiang Inns

We enjoyed our stay here, so when we returned from Shangri-la to Lijiang, we made a repeat booking at this place. The cleanliness of the place and the friendliness of the staff were the main reasons for our return. Location: This place is situated near the border of the Lijiang Ancient City. It is close to the main road (2 min walk) which makes it easy to meet your driver for airport transfer or any tour you join. It is also extremely convenient to get to the main attractions such as Mu Residence (5 min) and Zhongyi Night Market (6-8 min). You will be away from the hustle and bustle at night, and get some peace and quiet. Room: We were lucky that we got a room on the ground floor, as we had very heavy luggage. It would be very difficult to pull them up the stairs if we were on the upper floor. Every room has a different name, and shows that the owners put some thought into giving each of their guests a unique experience. The room we got was of moderate size, with a small sofa area for you to enjoy tea and snacks. There was also a kettle and four cups, and a 5-litre water dispenser that dispensed hot and cold water - I appreciated this, which was more environmentally friendly and generous than other accommodation which gave us 2 bottles of water (500ml each) each every day. The room was also equipped with heating, for the room and the floor, and they were controlled by the front desk. There was also a humidifier. The room's interior decoration was warm and cozy. Outdoor: We also enjoyed sitting outdoors, idling, gazing at the fish, watching the flowers bloom, while enjoying many cups of tea. Toilet: It was of decent size, with a shower cubicle that dispensed hot water pretty quickly. They provided us with everything so there's nothing you need to bring: shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers, slippers for shower, towels for body and hair, one-time face towels, hair dryer, body lotion, soap, detergent. Service: The staff was hospitable, friendly, and the service was impeccable. We enjoyed chatting with them over many cups of tea, and rose pastries. They even recommended travel routes and restaurants to us, which were very good, and we even got discounts or freebies by telling the restaurants where we were staying. It was easy to communicate with the staff on WeChat, they responded promptly, and arranged free airport transfer for us as we stayed more than three nights. Food: Breakfast was served every morning, which included a bowl of Yunnan mixian (noodles), a steamed bun, a hard-boiled egg, corn, and some spicy preserved vegetables. Every booking came with one serving of afternoon tea, which included rose pastries and a variety of fruits. We arrived after midnight and the staff prepared some rose pastries and fruit for us, in case we would be hungry, which was very thoughtful of them!

I traveled through four cities, staying at seven different hotels, but what stayed with me after the trip wasn’t the luxurious rooms or high-end amenities. The most profound impression came from a small hotel in Lijiang, where the staff worked quietly, without fanfare or extravagance, but with a sincerity that touched my heart. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I felt something different. It wasn’t the smooth greetings in foreign languages or gestures learned from hospitality manuals. It was the way they looked at me—with genuine concern, not trying to sell a service but making me feel welcomed. Language wasn’t a barrier because there was a closeness between us, simple yet deeply meaningful. I remember one early morning, as everything was still asleep, I stood on the balcony and looked down at the small garden. Below, a staff member was meticulously wiping each leaf, each plant, as if each leaf held its own life. That simple act, in the quiet of the morning, made me realize that when someone pours their heart into their work, even the smallest task becomes meaningful. After experiencing the space and service here, I began to imagine what the owner of this hotel must be like. Perhaps he is a perfectionist, meticulous, dedicated, and thoughtful. If given the chance, I would love to meet him and learn from his experience. How is it that he only visits the hotel once a year, yet everything remains so flawless? The way every corner of the hotel reflects care and attention mirrors the personality of someone who is attentive to every detail. Perhaps that’s what makes this hotel different. They don’t strive to please the guests too hard, nor do they go overboard in showcasing excellent service. They let their sincerity naturally and invisibly touch the guests’ emotions. And from there, satisfaction naturally follows—effortlessly, without needing to be advertised. Through this trip, I realized that in the service industry, it’s not a race to compete on price or luxury. What customers remember isn’t the soft bed or the sumptuous breakfast, but how they were treated and how much care was given. Everything starts with the simplest things—a glance, a smile, or even wiping a leaf in the garden in the early morning. While many other places focus on selling services, this small hotel in Lijiang has taken a different path. They don’t try to sell; they let the experience sell itself. And when that experience comes from true dedication, customers will remember it forever, because what comes from the heart always lingers the longest.

Everything is excellent, even when I'm still in malaysia they gave me a call and create a wechat group asking if i need a pickup service and they help to arrange it. The owner was so good and gave us an upgrade room. As for communication, we were welcomed with hot tea and fruits, check in was smooth since the the boss was so fluent in english and no issue as all the staff was very helpful with our request using translation tools. They also offer a lot of services, laundry, making yr bed so its easy for sleep, and lots of activity such as diy candle,evening tea, etc. The room was super clean, new condition, the hotel environment itself is so pretty, room is big with bathtub. Location was so near the ancient town, and the water wheel. The boss also help us to arrange our drop off to the railway station, and suggest few halal places to eat since i'm muslim traveller (very near the hotel, 3 mins walking). For breakfast, just tell the staff that you require vegan meal and she will assist you, there is porridge and juice, bread and other vegetable condiments. They will help to accomodate it. Upon check out they gave us a very cute souvenir to bring home, so cute and pretty. Thank you so much for all the help and accomodation, truly appreciate your help to assist with our request🥰☺️.

Właściciel jest bardzo przystojny, a obsługa doskonała. Odbiera i odwozi gości, robi herbatę i częstuje owocami, zawsze reagując na wszelkie prośby. Cierpliwie wyjaśnia wskazówki dotyczące podróży i priorytetowo traktuje bezpieczeństwo klienta. Makaron ryżowy na śniadanie jest o wiele lepszy niż w innych miejscach. Gdybym miał tam jechać sam, zdecydowanie byłby to mój pierwszy wybór.

Stayed here for 4 nights and 3 days with a family of 4. Arrived at night 10pm+, and the staff of Ju She The House (Inn)were actively checking with us on where we are and if we would require any assistance in carrying the luggage’s to the inn. The room was beautiful, spacious and clean. And the customer service and support provided by the lovely staffs of Ju She was also top notch. They even made extra effort to help prepare some simple and early breakfast for us when we had days whereby we had to set off from the inn very early in the day to sightsee. They had a chat group that includes some staff of the inn, in which we could freely and easily request for any assistance when needed, and the staff were all very nice and polite when assisting us. They also had daily complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and a small Chinese dessert soup with reminders in the chat group, which was a very lovely and sweet addition to our stay at the inn. Will definitely come back to stay again when we come to yunnan for our holidays. Kudos to all the friendly and lovely staff at Ju She The House. :)

A Truly Royal Experience in the Heart of Lijiang – Unforgettable Stay at Passing-Cloud Resort Wenyuan! From the moment we arrived at Passing-Cloud Resort Wenyuan in the magical Old Town of Lijiang, we knew we were in for something special — but this hotel far exceeded even our highest expectations. We stayed for three unforgettable days in what was originally booked as a romantic couple’s room, but thanks to the warm generosity of the staff, we were upgraded to a more spacious and luxurious suite at no extra cost. This thoughtful gesture was just the beginning of an experience that felt nothing short of royal. The location is unbeatable — nestled right in the heart of Lijiang’s Old Town, with all the charm, culture, and history just steps from your door. Yet, once inside, the resort feels like a serene oasis, perfectly balancing traditional elegance with modern luxury. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the impeccable service. We had access to 24-hour butler service, and the staff communicated with us seamlessly via WeChat, making every interaction easy, personal, and incredibly attentive. A special and heartfelt thank you to 小唐 and 龙龙, who both went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of extraordinary. Their professionalism, warmth, and intuitive hospitality made us feel like royalty, anticipating our needs before we even voiced them. The rest of the team was equally gracious and proactive, constantly ensuring our comfort, entertainment, and well-being. Though we were tempted to extend our stay, we chose to continue our travels to a new province — but we left with heavy hearts. This stay was one of the highlights of our entire journey, and we will absolutely be returning in the future. It’s rare to find a place that blends luxury, tradition, warmth, and service so flawlessly. If you’re visiting Lijiang and want to experience the very best of what hospitality can be, Passing-Cloud Resort Wenyuan is the place. Highly, highly recommended.

Ruoshiguang Liuying Inn is a fantastic little place set in a perfect location in Lijiang old town. The location is close enough to everything you would need but tucked away to ensure a quiet and peaceful stay. The staff were amazing and helped us immensely. Everyone was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless and had a nice charm to them. Heating worked perfectly and kept us warm during the cold nights. Highly recommend - we hope to return one day!

Hotel jest dobrze zaprojektowany, łóżka wygodne, a zupa Tremella podawana w termosie to miły dodatek. W hotelu są dwa duże psy, które są bardzo grzeczne, nie szczekają ani nie biegają. Stosunek jakości do ceny jest dobry. Jedyne, co zauważyłem, to niestabilny internet w moim pokoju i niedomykająca się zasłona.

The guesthouse has a fantastic location, just a 5-minute walk to the center of the old town. The owner was incredibly welcoming, offering to help with luggage and providing travel tips. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and stylishly decorated. Although it's on the street, it was very quiet at night; the attention to detail was excellent. My stay was perfect for a few days, and the value for money was fantastic. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in Lijiang!

Great location! Close to the intersection, very convenient for getting around. It’s not far from Sifang Street, and the homestay is right across from Mufu—perfect spot! The courtyard is beautiful, full of flowers and plants. The host is super warm and always invites me for tea when free. The tea is amazing! Highly recommend—stay here when you come to Lijiang!
