Located within 700 metres of Loyalty Arch and 700 metres of Mufu Palace, 夕露古城中心店 XILU INN NANXI - Ancient City Center Branch provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Lijiang. This recently renovated homestay is located less than 1 km from Guangbi Tower and a 4-minute walk from Baisui Bridge. Every room comes with a patio with views of the garden. What impressed me most was SanQian's thoughtfulness—being there as early as 6:15 am to send us off on our tour, checking on us through the day to ensure a smooth trip. She even arranging a takeaway breakfast so we wouldn’t miss a meal. The room was comfortable and, most importantly, safe, which gave us peace of mind throughout our stay. Her warm hospitality and genuine care made our experience smooth and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area.

Centrally located in Lijiang Ancient Town, Xilu Xiaoxie Inn features cosy accommodation with traditional Chinese furnishings and modern facilities. Free Wi-Fi access is provided in the entire property. Guests can use self-laundry and dryer facilities for free. I rate this place a perfect 10 in every aspect—location, staff, facilities, comfort, and overall charm! Mandy and her assistant were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making our stay truly memorable. Communication was prompt, and they even prepared breakfast for us daily. For Muslim travelers, rest assured that Halal or dietary preferences are well taken care of. The hosts are very understanding and will ensure your breakfasts are prepared to your liking. We stayed here in December, and as someone from a tropical country, I found it super cold! Thankfully, the rooms are well-equipped with heaters to keep you cozy. The heated toilet seat, hot shower, and hot bath were absolute lifesavers after a day out in the chilly weather. They really think of everything when it comes to amenities. They provided essentials like a hair dryer, comb, toothpaste, toothbrush, robes, and towels, so you don’t have to worry about packing these items. The room was cleaned daily, and they even brought drinking water to our room every day. The property also has two adorable (and very large!) dogs. They are incredibly calm and quiet, so there’s no need to worry about them being jumpy or loud—they’re a delight to have around. Mandy went above and beyond to make our trip stress-free. She helped us order food to be delivered to our room, booked taxis for us, and even arranged tickets to watch the Lijiang Impression Show. The location is unbeatable, right in Lijiang's Old Town. We strolled around every afternoon/evening, exploring the charming shops and soaking in the sights. Plus, there’s a Halal restaurant just 300–400 meters away, which is very convenient. I can’t recommend this place enough—it was such a warm and comfortable experience. Thank you so much, Mandy!
