Lijiang Hotel JunPoXuan

10/10 Excellent

"This former home is a gorgeous place to experience the history of Lijaing. Amy the proprietress is very thoughtful and gracious. "

Ancient Charm Luxe Retreat Lijiang

"环境优雅，典雅别致。设备也齐全，房间十分整洁。服务人员服务很周到，尤其是李伟-他无时无刻都在确保我们的行程完善，无微不至。地点也很方便，正好在古城中央。有提供美味的早餐及精致的下午茶。万分物超所值！推荐给来到丽江的大家！"

Merry Inn Lijiang

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful. If you get a room facing the ancient city, it's beautiful.. sunrise (facing east) and night view. The hotel position is at the hill top of the Ancient City with the hotel entrance just a few steps to the stairways leading to the ancient city.. inaccessible to the wheelchair bound folks. It is better to have the hotel arrange for your transportation to the hotel as it is difficult to find. If you make your own way there, they will provide you with another hotel's address (where the taxi can drop you off), then they'll pick you up from there (you have to call them when you arrive). You'll also need help with your luggage as the pathway leading to the hotel is not user friendly and there are steps down leading to the hotel entrance. Breakfast, it's simple... don't expect a good meal. They can help you with online purchases (food or anything) with delivery within the hour upto 10 pm... this is exceptionally fast and efficient. "

Lijiang Yue Tu Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What can I say. I loved the hotel and staff. Yang is very helpful and speaks excellent English. He met me on the street where my taxi dropped me off and took me up to the hotel (it is up some stairs) and carried my suitcase for me. He will provide you with a map of Old Town Lijiang and explain how to reach the various locations. The hotel is nice with a lovely courtyard and my room had a view of the Snow Mountain as well as the landing outside my room. The hotel has 2 floors, so no elevator. It is in a quiet neighborhood and close to restaurants and grocery stores as well as to Old Town. I loved staying here, and if I go back and am able to climb stairs (since I am getting old), I would stay there again."

InterContinental Lijiang Ancient Town Resort by IHG

8/10 Good

"We stayed at the Intercontinental hotel for two nights. The hotel grounds are very impressive and the staff is highly trained and speak very good English. We didn't use any of the facilities, but we did enjoy the great breakfast. The hotel is located on the edge of Lijiang's old town. So while it's quite touristy, it's not as crowded as the centeral area. So why only 4 stars? Here's the thing, we asked the hotel for a large taxi, fitting for four people and four large suitcases. The destination was Shaxi, about a 2 hours drive. They wanted 1,600 RMB for the trip. Why? Dunno. Because it's an expensive hotel, maybe. But I'd expect a hotel with Chinese speaking locals to help us get the best deal possible, not rip us off. How do I know it was a rip off? I texted a random driver with a van on wechat and got the same ride for 700 Yuan. That was also way too steep (the hotel owner in Shaxi explained it should cost 400-500). The experience left a bad taste on my mouth. I'd recommend staying at a cheaper, less 'luxurious' hotel, where you're not just a walking wallet to them."
