Personal vacation

It has been relaxed and cozy for my 4 nights stay with localized culture style. The bedding is comfy and cleanly fresh. I added one more night by paying in local currency. Staff are very helpful and nicely willing to support at all the time. Overall I have been very happy and impressed for my vacation in Lijiang.
Enjoy coffee in old culture.

Super great hotel, the service and quality is spectacular. They are very friendly to cyclists, which is amazing to see. They let us put our bicycles in their garage, and did so with a smile. They are very sweet, all of them, the rooms and building are beautiful, and it’s in an excellent location, right near Lijiang old town. They treated us with great care, and the price was excellent. We got excellent recommendations about what local food to try. There’s even some cute cats, and Koi fish in their garden, a fantastic hotel, and I can’t wait to come back. If you use Amap or Apple Maps to navigate to the location, it directs you to “Chunjiang hotel”.

Staff were very friendly and recommended a few nearby restaurants serving Lijiang specialities. We informed them that we had to leave very early the next morning, before their breakfast timing. They were so kind to prepare a pot of coffee and a packed bag of breakfast items for us.

Freezing in winter

Location is far away from old town. No one speaks English. It can be better in summertime but in winter it’s freezing. It was impossible to take a shower and I needed to wear winter coat inside.
