Yueshang Mountain Viewing Courtyard

Nice place, good location - near from everywhere, friendly and helpfull staff, the room was large, clean and very comfort, feels like home, good choice for your stay in Lijiang, overall PERFECT !!

The homestay is located on the hilly part of Lijiang Ancient Town, and cars cannot enter the area. I advise informing the homestay your ETA; they would advise on the nearest drop-off point and fetch you (the drop-off point is a few minutes walk away, but there are steps). The homestay is in an old building (~200 years old), and the steps are very steep. The rooms need more maintenance and cleaning. For instance, one of the beds in our room was hard. Another room had a ceiling leak. The TV console area was dusty. Breakfast is around 8.30 am (if I recall correctly); it’s a pity we had to miss them as we had to leave early on both days. We were told breakfast would be rice noodles, but there wasn’t any food they could give us early in the morning. Nevertheless, the staff were friendly, helpful, and responsive over WeChat. There’s good communication and coordination among them. For instance, we asked about the pick-up point for when we check out, and one of the staff offered to arrange transport to the railway station. The senior staff later messaged me via WeChat about the transport, which cost RMB 60. The staff also helped carry our luggage to the pick-up point (albeit after some discussion, as it was early in the morning and they usually didn’t seem to have anyone on standby that early).

Enjoyed our stay here. Pros: rooms are lovely, hotel design is quaint and located on lion hill above the old town. Location is good if you don’t mind walking a bit. Staff were friendly and helpful. Cons: walls between rooms are very thin, you can hear everything people say in the next rooms. Breakfast is included, which is nice, but it is the same bowl of noodles every day, and there was no tea or coffee. Still overall, for the price, it’s a nice place to stay.
