    Toilet smelled however this seemed to be the same everywhere we stayed where the toilet was next to the sleeping room. The yulong snow mountain tour available through this hostel is more expensive than others (444 yuan each) however still convenient to book through them, however the company they book through are not flexible at all with the food they provide, boasting “lunch included” but when we told them we were vegetarian they said we had to bring our own food despite it being a 7am-6pm tour and refunded us a measly 10 yuan. However as we don’t speak Chinese this tour was still definitely the best option for us and we recommend if you are in the same boat!

    Family run business (one woman and her mum, and her young daughter is often about). Owner speaks English well. The family is very lovely and make a nice atmosphere. Great location right next to the old town. The owner answered our millions of annoying questions, helped us book our trip to the yulong snow mountain, helped us book our bus to the tiger leaping gorge hike and gave us info on where to book other buses from, how to get to baisha, and provided us with a map of the old town. Beautiful garden, simple rooms but good enough, laundry available for 15 yuan. restaurant in the hostel is good for an easy breakfast we enjoyed the ‘continental breakfast’. Wifi available with VPN.

    Shower water pressure was not nice, preferred not to shower when it was cold out. But for the money cant complain honestly.

    Location to old town was perfect, English speaking staff was a great help also arringing a bus to tiger leaping gorge. Also electric blanket in bed was divine.

    Nothing.

    Thank you so much to the guesthouse owner, who helped me A LOT during my stay. he speaks English, and helped me book the Leaping Tiger Gorge tour with Tina's guesthouse (a bus comes to the guesthouse early morning, brings you to the gorge hiking trail, and bring your luggage directly to Tina's guesthouse). The room was very calm, the bed comfortable with nice soft sheets. The garden is so nice, with lots of flowers, and lots of resting areas. The guesthouse is situated in the modern part of Lijiang, but a 5-10mn walk from the South entrance of the old town, so very easy to reach. It is also a 15mn walk from the coach station. I would recommend the location because it is easy to find and easily reachable with heavy luggage. and calm!

    Home style hostel near by the Old town

    Just need to mention few things that you might need to know while booking. There is no elevator in the hostel, so for old people and heavy luggage could be a problem. Air-conditioning is not included in the price. Should you need to freeze or heat the room you need to pay additional 15 yuan per day. Unfortunately breakfast could be served as from 8 am so if you go to early starting tours you need to take care of your breakfast yourself. Mattress was too hard for me, which is as I mentioned very usual in China. All in all it was a good experience.

    First I would like to mention nice lady who is managing this hostel. She is very nice, speaking English, very kind and helpful and can make you stay feeling as at home. Hostel is located just 5 min walk from South entrance to the Old city and 20-25 min walk from Black dragon pool park. Everything is at walking distance. Airport shuttle bus final stop (at Civil Aviation Blue Sky Hotel) just 7 min taxi ride from hostel. On the way from the airport bus also stops on the street on the south side of Old city. So you can drop off there and take a city bus which stops on the opposite side of hostel street. Very easy to reach from the airport. Airport bus is running every 30 min. Hostel has a very nice courtyard with a small pool. Even if the room is a bit outdated and furniture simple and old, but clean, has everything that you need, kettle, free bottles of water, bath amenties. Kuo helped me to book a group day tour to Jade dragon snow mountain park at 468 yuan including cable car, park entrance ticket, lunch and oxygen. It started from the hotel on the nearest crossroad which is 5 min walk. Even if the tour was in chinese and I could not understand , driver and people in the group were so nice, they took care of me and look after me all the way so I couldn't be lost! Also if you want you can order an american or english breakfast with a good coffee at appr 70 yuan. Thank you!

    The television in the room does not work and the front desk didn't help to fix. The light in the room is not bright enough.

    The location is good and the front desk service is good and helpful
