Erquan Inn Ancient city

This beautiful little hotel is built around a small courtyard that gives the feeling of a traditional Chinese home, with beautiful old woodwork and lattice bannisters and windows. The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable, and the bathroom is large, with a self-flushing toilet. While the building is not soundproof, it is quiet at night. The ‘extras’ in this hotel include a nice deck for guests to sit and enjoy the wonderful container-garden with flowers and succulents. There is also a washing machine and racks, so travellers can wash their clothes without extra cost. The host is extremely helpful and offers free pickup from train station or airport as well as drop-off. Breakfast vouchers are for a Chinese buffet a few meters down the road; (another hotel cafe across the street offers espresso coffees.) Note: the Expedia map is a bit ‘off’: this hotel is located within the Ancient City, which is car-free, so luggage must be walked or rolled across old cobble stones for quite a distance, but the host is very helpful with this.

This is a fantastic inn, a great and affordable hotel, perfectly located within the old town, so you walk around to major sightseeing. The hotel is comfortable, clean, and the hosts are amazing, they picked me from the airport, and made every effort for me to be comfortable. Excellent option in Lijiang!

Uns hat dieses Hotel und seine Lage in Lijiang GuCheng so gut gefallen, dass wir verlängert haben. Da es etwas abseits liegt, war es ein guter Rückzugsort, wo auch Zeit und Musse war, mit den Einheimischen ins Gespräch zu kommen.
