Guanfang Hotel (Lijiang Old Town Dashiche)

The room was far smaller than expected with a very petite though functional bathroom (without any natural light). The two single beds were small and difficult to sleep in. The air conditioning was old and quite poor. It was difficult to bring the temperature down at night. There was one tiny wardrobe that could not hold much clothing at all. There was no tea, coffee or other benefits of an alleged 5 star hotel. The following day, the cleaners (who were fantastic and very nice) brought us a few biscuits and a plate with a few fruit items on it. Two bottles of water were provided each day. The breakfast had a good selection of possible dishes though the staff did not refill regularly so many items became unavailable during breakfast. The dishes were very Chinese orientated, which was not a problem given that we were the only foreigners in the hotel. The reception staff were excellent, very helpful and supportive.

We were treated extremely well by the staff, who went out of their way to assist us with difficult situations. Breakfast is included and it is extensive enough to satisfy most people. All in all , highly recommend.

This hotel is located within walking distance to the old city of Lijiang. Since it is one of the tallest buildings in Lijiang, it allows a great view of the snow-capped Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The room itself is comfortable, but you can hear the people from the next room when they talk. The breakfast is good, but it is the same every day. The hotel boats a swimming pool and sauna, but when I asked about them, I was told they are closed.

Just outside of Old Town of Lijiang with 15 Minutes walking. The whole hotel needs some renovation. The carpets are dirty, the doors are very used, including big gaps. Swimmingpool and Sauna Area where both completely closed. Breakfast was ok, but everything with plastic. It was very cold in the Breakfast-Restaurant. All the Staff is very friendly and helpful. Also one person was speaking English!

Nice Hotel... really good support! We had some Problems because of COVID. The stuff helped us in a really professional way! A recommendation for foreigners!

Easy to find as is the tallest building in the town. The hotel has two parts to it- the International main building and a smaller 'local' style Which is where is stayed. Really lovely setting Just wasn't too impressed by the room Which had obviously seen better days. Pool on roof with a great view was a nice touch and breakfast had me set off for my journey in a good mood. Would come again, Just Hope for a better room. PS: Collins at reception speaks English Really well and has been working at the hotel since it was built twenty years ago and is a great Welcome host
