Planning a long stay in China? Book Lijiang Serviced Apartments

"The owner (Yang Lei) is the best guide you can get around LiJiang, not only does he goes out of his way to help his guests, i.e. picking us up with umbrellas when it was raining, transporting luggages for guests were just some simple examples. Yang Lei has a very good understanding of all the tourist spots in LiJiang and gives a detailed description of various tours available and assists with the booking of these tours. (He assisted with the booking of Lugu Lake, LiJiang QianGuQing for us). There is a tea corner where he would brew tea and exchange conversations with guests on everything under the sun! Room is very comfortable and location is very near to LiJiang Ancient Town. All in all, an excellent place for your stay in Lijiang with an owner with a human touch. "

"Highly recommended. Certainly one of the best hotel experience I've had. This boutique hotel in the Lijiang Ancient Town (Gu Cheng) has everything u would need, Air-con with functioning heater, Good audio system, DVD, Wi-fi, and computer in the rooms! This hotel was formally an Art House! While keeping the historical design and feel, they renovated the bathroom with luxurious modern fittings! The hotel staffs were excellent, very friendly and helpful. They assisted us in all the things that we need, providing maps, recommending the places the go, things to take note of, and arranging for all our tours and transports! They could even arrange home cook dinner for you at the hotel. The only thing is to book your room/s early as there are only 9 rooms in this hotels and try to get those rooms in the 2nd level as there are less privacy and may be quite noisy for those rooms on the ground level."

"the main downside or upside of the hotel is its location on hill. it is a 3-5 minutes walk uphill from the central square of old town which is buzzling. do not try to walk to hotel on your own as this hotel has no proper signage leading up to the entrance. it is recommend to arrange transfer with hotel as taxis cannot bring you through the pedestrianised old town. they would have to use the hilly road from the other side of the hill near the old town north entrance the panorama view in the morning and evening from the hotel is breaktaking with the mountain range surrounding the low rise tile roof of lijiang old town. the entire property was beautifully converted from an old house with courtyard and balcony. service is friendly and helpful. breakfast is made to order noodle soup or portridge. my room on the upper floor was gorgeous with a small star-gazing glass window on the roof top and a balcony with outdoor table and chairs. the interior design is quite similar to the chic contemporary room design of phnom penh's the 240 hotel, with natural light and local wood. the hotel offers an outside food delivery service which charges only rmb15 where you can order anything from the menu of half a dozen fast food restaurants like kfc, pizza hut and local chinese fast food chain. i ordered two items (no order limit) from the room's landline and within 30 minutes, the food was delivered to my room by the outside delivery guy! it was excellent way to settle into the room and have hot food delivered to you. this hotel is very popular with locals, so i could not even extend my stay after two nights since i enjoyed the place very much. "

"only a few niggles but this applies to everywhere in lijiang. you have to carry your luggage some distance as no taxis can go in. everywhere is difficult to find even though agoda give the address in chinese. i had made two separate bookings, but managed to get two separate blossom hills, neverland and joyland. they are both owened by the same group, 50 metres from each other and both are excellent. i have travelled extensively in china and the rooms were the best value i have had. the bedrooms were themed, so all werer different. the furniture was to a high standard and the bathrooms had german sinks, baths etc. the beds are probably the best i have ever slept in. these are boutique hotels with the bedrooms around a courtyard. the staff spoke english and were very helpfull."

"Environment good cost-effective location is very convenient, the boss is also very enthusiastic, to arrange the pick up, driver teacher also special enthusiasm of lijiang is introduced, introduced the, every place have probably understanding travel is a good arrangement! You can also have tea and chat with your boss, naxi. It was in the old town, and it was quite close. There is a sparerib in the side of the food, which is also very special. It is convenient for you to go anywhere. The five-star recommendation is that lijiang must live in the ancient city, and li jiayuan is in the heart of the inn! Also sent a map, to explain! Come and stay here!"

"We loved this place. The rooms are beautiful! The area is central but quiet. We were there during the winter and the room was very warm. Our hosts were caring making breakfast of our choice and serving tea at any time of the day. We would definitely come back there if we are in Lijiang. "
