Hotels in Shuhe Old Town, Lijiang

Not really sure where to start. One of the nicest B&B style hotels I’ve stayed anywhere in the world. Staff go above and beyond everyday and the ambience of the place is so relaxing it’s hard to stay standing. It’s just off the Main Street in the quieter of the “old towns” Shuhe, but it’s so quiet you wouldn’t even know it’s there. Beautiful surrounds and convenient to literally everywhere. Literally, just stay here: way more personal than any of the bigger hotels in the area I’m sure.

Very hospitality small family run property with excellent location

Outstanding service. Beautiful internal design of the room.

The room was spotless and thoughtfully furnished with many lovely details. The garden was beautifully decorated, featuring comfortable furniture that made it the perfect spot to unwind. The host was incredibly kind and accommodating—knowing we had an early departure, they even packed our breakfast in advance.

The room is spacious and bright, with complete facilities, making people feel very comfortable and relaxed.

Sprawling and peaceful compound. My son loved the little animals in the hotel. Beautiful view of the mountain.

We were overjoyed the hotel upgrade our 2 rooms to suite. The staffs were very friendly and helpful.

Really great hotel with friendly, knowledgeable staff and clean rooms. The owner Joy will help you with anything you need and give recommendations for travel plans. Have decided to return in a few days because we liked it so much.

First, let me talk about the service—it was excellent. The owner came out early to greet us at the entrance and even helped with our luggage. They also gave us great tips to avoid tourist traps. Knowing our group was large, they proactively upgraded our room. As for the amenities, the room had a bathtub—something many places don’t offer—along with a huge, very modern bathroom. The drinking water system was advanced, and both the air conditioning and hot water worked perfectly. Even the mirror had built-in lighting! The stay was incredibly comfortable. The location was also ideal—right in the ancient town. For those who enjoy exploring local markets, it’s super close to Zhongyi Market, making it convenient for early morning outings. Lastly, the price was unbeatable! (Oh, I almost forgot to mention the courtyard—it had such a charming vibe, exactly my style. Sadly, we only stayed one night.) I’ll definitely choose this place again next time I visit.

I am very particular in choosing a place to stay for our travel. One of the owners, Arlin has been very active in communicating with me through email and wechat, answering all of my queries and requests. So that little act of service helped to convince me to book them. They offered a free pick up service from train station and they also has a porter service to help you carry your luggage all the way to your room. Upon arrival, i was super stoke because the hotel is exactly how they advertised in the website. They offered a bit more contemporary design while staying true to the traditional theme. We were greeted warmly with tea and i guess only the owner can converse in english but the workers arent. But despite the lack of english, we made do with translation app. Our room is spacious and clean with no speck of dust, our balcony is facing the old town street and literally you can just go out from the hotel and immediately shop. The hotel also very modern in a sense that they have a control button for their curtain anddd i cannot stress this enough, they HAVE AUTOMATED TOILET WITH THE FREAKING HOLY BIDET AND DYSON HAIRDRYER. Being a Malaysian, having a bidet is a must so to my fellow Malaysian traveller, im vouching for this hotel. Their toilet paper is 4 ply. They also have washer + dryer machine located at the ground floor, free to use, so another plus point there. I washed my clothes everynight, and then hang out with the owner while waiting for my laundry. They offered free breakfast, but seeing we are muslim, he switched the local breakfast with pastries instead. They always prepared free candies, local fruits and tea at the receptionist which i always took whenever i went out. The location of the hotel is also very convenient, it is very near to the main road, the iconic water wheel and dashi bridge. The attentiveness and care they provided for their guests, answering every questions no matter how silly they sounded, has really won it for me. Will come again!
