It was right in the middle of old town, but far away from the bars and restaurants so quite quiet, right next to a stream so felt like staying in nature to some extent. Had our own private courtyard though didn’t use much as spent most of the time outside wandering. Owner was super nice and gave us tips about restaurants to try (and to avoid as tourist traps).

Excellent boarding choice in Bai shao. The room is cozy and comfortable with a nice court yard. The hosts are friendly. However, it's regrettable that the host wouldn't serve breakfast any more. Otherwise, having breakfast in the court yard would be a nice experience.

Featuring classic wood furnishings and a courtyard with greenery, Old Town of Lijiang Meiliju Inn is located peacefully in Lijiang Ancient Town. Free WiFi is accessible in all areas.

Mufu Palace is 400 metres from Old Town of Lijiang Meiliju Inn. Loyalty Arch is 500 metres from the property. Lijiang Sanyi Airport is 21 km from the property.

I travelled to Lijiang Old Town with a Chinese friend. The location was very good, close to an entrance gate of the old town, simultaneously it is close to many restaurant and shops. The room was clean and comfortable, a good quality internet is available. The staff, the owners, was very welcoming and helpful. The owner was open to share with the (Pu-er) tea culture of Yunnan province, and invited many times us to be part of a traditional tea ceremony, which was fascinating. As I travelled with a Chinese friend, I did not have any difficulty for communication. One may need to communicate using a translator, or the owners' daughter(kid) may help to be understood.

Offering a garden and sun terrace, October Inn features cosy rooms with free Wi-Fi access in Lijiang. The property can arrange various activities like horse riding, cycling and hiking. Computers are offered in public area and guests can enjoy tea on site.

We stayed at October Inn for four nights and it was just great! Let's start form the room: very big and comfortable, bathroom also quite big with everything you need. There is a nice terrace where you can enjoy a great view of the mountains and the city. Two beautiful courtyards where to sit and relax. It is located just 10 minutes from Lijiang ancient town, so a nice and short walk. The best part: the hosts are simply great. They came to pick us up at the train station when we arrived and took us back when we left, they helped us to organise some trips around and gave us a lot of suggestions and advice about what to do and how to move around. In the evening we used to spend time with them sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and talking. One evening they took us for a nice walk on the mountain just at the back of the Hostel. We really enjoyed our stay and, if we have the chance to go back to Lijiang, no doubt we will go back to October Inn.

    We loved our stay in Lijang. The Old Town is beautiful and the guest house was in a great location. The room was clean and very cute. The staff at Lewo Guest House were fantastic. They went over and above expectations during our stay. The staff on the desk helped us to organise day trips and getting to our next destination as well as ordering a birthday cake, too. We definitely recommend Lewo Guest House to all who visit Lijang.

    Good value for money. This guesthouse is really a hidden gem, it's in a quiet lane of the old town. What makes me love gegewu is the support provided by the little staff. She helped book trips and was always available to provide any needed help.. One night when I came back she brought me a cake. in addition, it really warmed my heart. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated in a traditional style. I highly recommend this guest house.

    The guesthouse is located within walking distance from the old town. Staff was super friendly and answered all my questions. They even helped me organise a bus ride to the tiger leaping gorge (which was beautiful btw!) Beds are comfortable with curtains for privacy. Would highly recommend this hostel!

    Actually we actually came across this guest house and it's way beyond our expectation. The snow Mountain is directly outside the window. And the host is really hospitable. We were offered delicious breakfast and the staff were very understanding.

    This is a beautiful boutique quaint gem of a place in Lijiang. It has a stunning view from the dinning room window of the rooftops in Lijiang. It is perfectly located, right in the middle of the Old Town Lijiang. The staff of this hotel is friendly, helpful and with a "I can help you with that" attitude. It was wonderful to spend Christmas here.

    Wonderful hosts, great Tea and welcome drinks. and plenty of useful information. Free fruit and snacks for all to try. Great location at the edge of Old Town. A few steps to climb, but nothing major. Nice size rooms, and we got a free upgrade due to quiet season.
