    Perfectly located hotel for Lijiang
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • 2 TWIN BEDS CLASSIC
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The shower ran cooler in the middle of showering and the toilet smelled a little of drains.

    Location was perfect for visiting the ancient town. Breakfast was good. The layout of the hotel was interesting and liked that there were several entrances into the old town. Staff were attentive especially Kokole (? spelling) who cleaned the three rooms we occupied. On the last night, she even left the door to the safe opened as a reminder that I had items in the safe. Very thoughtful. The hotel compound was beautiful and well maintained. Shame there were no balconies to sit and view the gardens from the upstairs rooms.

    everything is good

    Great Location, beautiful senary. I like the villa style room. If the weather is good, have a very good view of Yulong mountain. Staff is friendly and helpful. There is a small private door to the old town which is super convinient. The Chinese restaurant is very good and value the money.

    Kid‘s corner is a little small and the lighting is not good.

    Have stayed in more than 20 IHG hotels in different countries, Lijiang Hefu is the best one both on service and facities. Every staff is kind and ready to help.

    The traffic of Xianghe road in front of resort is not good.

    The breakfast was good, lot of choices and delicious. The location is super. The resort has their own private access to the ancient town with security guards. The resort is quiet and lovely. We enjoyed the time in this resort.

    Nothing!

    Beautiful elegant property that is very oriental, reflects ancient china architecture. Staff at front desk is friendly, and the staff at the asian restaurant is very friendly- i have to mention Winnie, the restaurant staff who served us who is extremely pleasant, friendly and courteous! She made us feel very comfortable and welcomed, and was very observant that my partner and i preferred vegetables to meat/seafood when we had our tomyum buffet(which is excellent, comparable to Singapore’s standard), and served extra basket of vegetables. She gave us a free pizza on her own accord because it took them 15 mins to serve us buffet although honestly it wasn’t long?!? Their porters, front desk staff were so helpful!! One of them (i cant remember his name) took the extra effort to help us book e- tickets to yu long xue shan, when we didn’t know we had to do so in advance via baidu app. Will definitely be back again, if i come back to Lijiang.

    The food is 100% Chinese. If you don’t like Chinese food you will have to settle on very basic western food.

    The location is superb, just on the border of the old city which makes it very easy to travel there.

    Incredible room, gorgeous architecture and interior design

    Maybe that that location is on the quiet side of old town instead of the nightlife district (nothing a 15 minute walk won't solve) - but the nightlife district isn't really why people go to Lijiang, so it wouldn't be an issue for most people.

    This hotel compound is AMAZING! Definitely one of the best in Lijiang, massive value for money. Our room was huge, like a small apartment - with beautiful ancient Chinese interior design. It feels like a true Lijiang experience, with gorgeous architecture and the design of the villa compound. Conveniently located right next to Old Town (take the side door). The side door takes you to a quieter area of Old Town (still has all the same stuff, but with fewer crowds). Having the hotel close to the road makes it possible to travel out of Lijiang for day trips easily. Has a gym, pool, good restaurants, a cafe with mountain views....you really couldn't ask for any more. Also this is the first hotel I've seen in China give your multiple free soft drinks with your room, it's a nice touch. They also give you authentic Yunnan tea and a tea set in your room to really round out the experience.

    I could not stay at Intercontinental and they relocated me to another hotel. They should have kept the same day rates as Intercontinental. The alternative hotel was more expensive

    It was covid period and I could not checkin in the hotel when I arrived. The staff immediately took me to a sister hotel, which was a walking distance. The hotel was also high quality facilities. Both hotels have prime location by the old town

    The only issues I had were that my room was much closer to the north gate to the ancient city, but it was closed due to covid. The other issue was the menu for Basil restaurant is very restricted, one of the shortest menus I have seen in a long time.

    The hotel is at a great location just near the ancient city. The lounge bar has the most amazing view of the Jade Dragon Mountain, and it is a great place to have a coffee or a drink both during the day or in the evening. The room is very comfortable, the bathtub is amazing, the whole room feels like a home and cozy. The hotel was great to organize a car to take me to the mountain, with a driver very trustful all day. I would definitely come back to the hotel.
