Lijiang Anlu Private Soup Hotel

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel conveniently located within the 古城 (Old Town). One of the biggest highlights was the pick-up service provided by the hotel — a true lifesaver, as navigating the maze of exits in the old town (where cars aren’t allowed) would have been quite a challenge on our own. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. We were warmly welcomed with tea and a thoughtful introduction to the amenities in our room, which really set the tone for a relaxing stay. Breakfast was another standout — delicious and satisfying. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended if you’re planning a visit to the 古城!

Pros: First thing first; the staff provided us with the best customer service I’ve ever had so far. They washed our clothes for us because we didn’t had the time, they ordered a luggage for me because I didn’t have enough space in my current one. Cons: very steep stairs. This should be highlighted by the hotel more, because we’ve met other guests with accessibility issues.

Very lovely experience and stay at Anlu. Staff are very friendly and helpful - even helped to carry our luggage during arrival and departure:) will come back again!

Room was clean and spacious! Hotel staff are extremely friendly, informative and helpful! (: great views from the hotel, enjoyed my stay there! Hotel is located in the old town so it is convenient to get to the shops and restaurants which can be accessed by going down a few flights of stairs. But note that there is no vehicle access, so we had to climb uphill for about 5 mins to get to the pick-up point.

Very enthusiastic team who took the initiative to reach out weeks before we arrived in Lijiang. Communication mostly done via WeChat was pretty smooth from arranging pick-up from train station to helping us arrange a private day trip to 玉龙雪山 Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Location is strategically location walking distance to the market square where there are plenty of F&Bs and bars to fit your schedule from day to night. The host would also provide recommendation on Didi drop-off point most conveniently located to the accommodation. This information is not readily available on those online map apps so we are very appreciative of guidance to navigate around the Lijiang ancient city conveniently. Do note the stone paths are uneven with many steps so do remember to wear a pair of thick/comfortable walking shoes! Did not manage to try the breakfast provided in the accommodations given our day started early. However, we were delighted to have a medicinal bath to relax after the long day outside. The accommodation includes a great bird eye view of the ancient city as well. Pretty private to chill in without the public crowd. Thank you Tang Hao and your wonderful team to make our stay in Lijiang memorable.

The location is right in the ancient town, very convenience. Service is excellent.
