The home of art and painting

Great value for money! The hotel staff provided friendly service! They were always offering free tea to customers at the lobby. You can also borrow summer hats and umbrellas at the lobby. The nice male staff helped to carry my luggage up and down the stairs. The young lady (Ms. Liu) helped to book a wonderful performance at SongCheng Lijiang Resort with fantastic seats – definitely worth the money! The hotel staff also told me about the airport shuttle bus which only costs RBM 20, much cheaper than a taxi which would have costs RMB 80. When there were room function issues, they fixed the problems quickly. Hotel location is great – at the intersection of two major streets (easy to find) and just a few minutes walk from Lijiang Old Town. While the Old Town is nice to walk around, the streets are paved with old cobblestones, which sometimes makes it slippery even on sunny days; and it is easy to get lost because it is like a huge maze. Cars are not allowed inside Old Town, so you would have to carry your luggage yourself walking in a big maze, which is quite bad for the luggage wheels. Thus, it is much better to have the hotel outside of Old Town. There are several convenience stores, restaurants, major banks, and public bus stops on the same block as the hotel, so you can find everything you need near the hotel!

Very nice hotel at a very good location (very close to the old town). The staff is very frendly and helpful and the owner/manager of the hitel speaks good englisch. The rooms are clean and very nice. We had an enjoyable time.
