Cathay||Old town palace Inn (Lijiang Old Town Dashuiche Branch)

The location was just perfect, it's right up the alley just right outside the bar street. You do need to walk around 5-10 minutes (depends on your speed) from where the car could stop at. The walk is through the old town so I barely felt it. Fair warning, there are 2 flight of stairs to go up to the hotel, it's not exceptionally high but I get quite out of breath every time. The staff helped carry my luggages from the main square right into my room, and down again. Even asked them to helped bring it down a few hours after I checked out. The staff are super helpful and I loved the room (exactly like pictured), I don't usually go out at night but it's so near to everything that I went out every night. Amazing stay! Hope I could visit again someday.

Excelent little home hotel in a very good location in the heart of Lijiang Old Town.A 10 minutos walk from the water wheel and from almost any of the most interesting spots.Very confortable beds in our family room and excelent service from the staff helping us to book the tickets to the Jade Dragon Mountain Cableway and giving any advice.They almost do not speak any English but with Google translate you solve the problem.As you cannot reach by taxi to the hotel(there is a 10 minute walk to the spot you can take a Taxi or a Didi),it is recommended to ask them to do the transfer in from the airport or train station.You can contact them using" we chat " once you make the reservation.The only weak point I would say that it is the breakfast which it is a little basic if you are western

It’s good experience to stay inside the LiJiang Old Town. Service from Summer is excellent! Thumbs up.

- Location: Very near the Dashuiche but still in the heart of Lijiang ancien town, just steps away from bustling streets filled with shops, restaurants, and cultural sites. - Hotel design: charming blend of traditional architecture and modern comforts. The rooms are beautifully designed, full amenity, comfortable bedding with AC and electric blankets which are invaluable in the snowing days in Lijiang. Our rooms also offer stunning views of the surrounding mountains and ancient rooftops. - Staff: warm and very friendly, best ever 😄. Summer and his brother and sisters provided us exceptional service throughout the stay. They kept contact us before arrival, helped us arrange the tickets, tour to Yulong mountain (unluckily, we could not make it to Yulong because of the heavy snow but we got full refund with just a little transport fee). They also gave us recomendation of very good restaurants and lead us there if we can not find the location. Highly recommended!

A Perfect Stay in the Heart of the Ancient City Our stay at this hotel was nothing short of amazing. The location was absolutely perfect – situated right in the center of the area, it was a hub of activity during the day, making it easy to explore. As the sun set, the place transformed into a lively spot brimming with music and vibrant nightlife. One of the highlights of our stay was the dining options nearby, which were abundant and diverse. Impressively, we were able to enjoy a delicious dinner as late as 11 pm, which added to the convenience and charm of the area. The hotel staff were exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a friendly and efficient check-in process. They went the extra mile to make us feel welcome, offering us a variety of tea upon arrival – a thoughtful touch that set the tone for our stay. Their open and warm approach truly made us feel at home. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the facilities were equally delightful. What stood out was their attention to detail – we were greeted with a welcoming fruit basket and premium beauty products in our room, which added a luxurious feel to our experience. Given that the hotel is located on a hill, the staff's assistance with our luggage was greatly appreciated and made the arrival process smooth and stress-free. Overall, our stay in the ancient city was enriched by this wonderful hotel. With so many accommodation options available in the area, I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for its outstanding service, perfect location, and thoughtful amenities. It truly made our visit memorable, and we look forward to returning in the future.

Reviewing on behalf my family members, they loved the decor, location and the excellent service provided by the staff.
