Lijiang Liman Wenzhi No.1 Hotel

Good advise for others travelers to pick you from ancient town main road. Staff would take you a shortcut to reach hotel. Hotel location is within the old town but quiet enough at night. Great hotel to stay. Staffs were all very helpful. Staffs were able to speak basic english with no much problem. They were very helpful and gave good advice. They do make you feel like a family member when you are far from home. Understand the price i paid was at the high side even though the period i was there was suppose to be quiet period in Lijiang. For all the good experience and comfort i got from my stay there, it was worth worthwhile.

Visitor is advised not to throw paper into the toilet bowel because it would choke the drainage system. Papers are to be throw into a small bin beside the toilet bowel.

1) Excellent Location: While it is in the old town, the hotel is located in a quiet part of the old town (Wuyi Street) 2) Service-centric Staff: Especially to the two young women who handled the front desk and guest relation matters and also thumb up to the housekeeping staff 3) Food: Good choice of delicious breakfast. Nightly: Sweet Chinese-style soup dessert NOTE: Our standard twin room has an open concept so that the toilet and shower are housed in the same space of the sleeping area. It may be a consideration if privacy is important to you (take a look at the hotel photos online)

The breakfasts provided were delicious and there were quite a number choices to choose from. The hotel room was very clean, spacious and all the items were provided as mentioned during booking. The staff was exceptional, very responsible and highly competent. We like express our gratitude to all the staff especially Amber, Xiao Qiu and Yang Xiu who have untiringly attended to all our request and have tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible. As we have booked to stay in the hotel for 5 days, airport pickup and sendoff were provided. Amber has been very prompt in responding to our email request for airport pickup after we have made our hotel booking. Unfortunately our flight to Lijiang was delayed for about 10 hours, and we arrived around 4.30 am the next morning. Much to our relief and pleasant surprise the driver was there waiting for us at the airport entrance. When we arrived at the junction leading to the alley where the hotel is located, Xiao Qiu was there waiting for us, and he led us to the hotel and settled us. He told us that he has been waiting for us the whole night.

The hotel is not accessible directly by cars as it is located about 100 metres away from the main road. The alley that leads to hotel from the main road is very undulating and winding, and it is paved with cobble stones. It was rather tough and challenging to drag one's luggage especially heavy ones from the junction at the main road to the hotel and vice versa particularly in the dark.

The service in this boutique inn made all the difference for me. Right from the get go, I was very well taken care of by Amber and Xiao Qiu. By the time I checked out after 3 nights, we became good friends! They provided so much help to me, from recommendations, answering all my questions even before my arrival, to making a number of changes to my booking including extending my room dates (multiple changes with that too). Their service is indeed top notch! Extremely patient, honest and kind. The inn itself is very well located, just a stone’s throw from the lively streets of Lijiang old town, but tucked away in a quiet nook just a couple of minutes walk round a corner. I was given a room upgrade and had the good fortune of staying in their garden suite. Daily breakfast was amazing! And I looked forward to it every morning. Thank you for making my stay in Lijiang old town so wonderful!

Not something which I didn’t like per se. But just wanted to point out that the inn might not be as suitable for non-couple friends who are thinking of staying in the same room, due to the “open concept” shower and toilet.

A wonderful stay in Lijiang. The room was clean and comfortable. All the staff were super nice. I wound definitely come back to this hotel again.

None.
