At the end of a great, and busy trip, this little inn was peaceful and beautiful. They greeted us with home made biscuits and there were more in the room for later. Rooms are standard, while seeming luxurious. The lovely verandas outside each room look onto the small yet peaceful courtyard with beautiful water feature. In the morning someone was... More

Tucked away in the old town, this is a lovely place to stay. Authentic style accommodation and very pleasant and helpful staff. The service was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable, with a good shower. Breakfast was basic but more than enough.

Many thanks for all the staff for their great welcome with smiles, cookies and tea. Very closed from lijiang old town center in a quiet place. In the evening after walking around, a drink on the balcony in front of the room. Occasionally you will need the electric blanket ! Lijiang is sometimes cold.

Away from the crowd of Lijiang a quiet place to rest, with a nice garden, comfortable rooms, a touch of authenticity and a very reasonable price. Mu Li will welcomes you with a cup of tea and delicious cookies and enjoy the sound of the Goudzen Gu-jun during breakfast.

The staff is so friendly, not artificially, like you see in grand hotels but really, heartfully friendly. We arrived very late, tired and the welcoming tee and cookies were god-sent. Even when I met our hostess wandering on the streets of Lijiang, she greeted me happily and it was really nice to see her again in the morning. What to... More

I stayed four nights in this lovely hotel, on the top floor. Communication in English by email with the owner, Ms He, was easy. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are simple but pleasant enough, especially considering the very reasonable price for such a prime location.
