No.29 Courtyard Hostel

I was planning to stay two nights only in Lijiang. After arriving at the hostel I quickly noticed that it was a place full of great people that would help me to get the most out of my stay. In the end I stayed for five nights and had the opportunity to join groups going hiking in the most amazing places and take part in homemade hotpot dinner at the hostel. The owners are great people, who take partly part in the activities and are always ready to help in case of questions. Further it was very convenient to do laundry at this hostel which is very helpful after long hikes 😊 I would definitely recommend travellers to stay in this hostel especially those who like hiking and can’t find much information online about the trails around Lijiang.

The room is not like the pictures. The walls and floor are all concrete and cold. Only squat toilets and no toilet paper. The mattress are insanely thin, it feels like you’re sleeping on the floor. I know it’s very cheap, but it’s not worth the money, you can get better places for similar price. Don’t get how this place have so good reviews

Can’t fault this hostel, it’s by far the best one I’ve stayed at in China so far. For the price it was 10/ 10. It was clean, social, in quiet location, easy to find for western guests (rarely the case!) and I had a great time here. It was within walking distance to shops etc and about 20 mins walk to the ancient town/ main bus station. It doesn’t have a western toilet (doesn’t bother me anymore but nice to know before you go 😂)
