Grand Joli Demeure · Du Bo Lin | Er·Schr Schrödinger Art Hotel (Big Waterwheel Branch)

Highly Recommend Dublinn Guesthouse in Lijiang! The perfect experience of this trip is inseparable from the thoughtful care of Housekeeper Xiao Kong, a true gem during our journey. A week before departure, Xiao Kong took the initiative to communicate with us. Based on our needs for a "leisurely trip + scenic viewing", he recommended a room with a terrace and tailored a travel route to avoid crowds. He even clearly noted the best time to watch the Golden Sunlight on the Snow Mountains in the early morning. Upon check-in, we found the room indeed faced the distant mountains with an incredible view from the terrace—undoubtedly a thoughtful reservation by him that touched us deeply. After checking in, we were impressed by the meticulous details: the daily breakfast was rich and exquisite, with a perfect combination of rice noodles, whole grains, and fruits. Learning that we loved tea, Xiao Kong specially brought his treasured ancient tree tea from home. In the evening, he sat with us in the courtyard to make tea and chatted about Lijiang's customs, creating a very pleasant moment. When we encountered transportation issues at scenic spots, sending a message to Xiao Kong resulted in an immediate solution—he quickly contacted a reliable chartered car driver and communicated the price in advance to avoid being overcharged. Every night when we returned, he would take the initiative to ask about our trip experience and patiently adjust the suggestions for the next day, with extremely timely responses throughout.

Although I read alot of good reviews of this hotel before I booked it, the services we received way exceeded our expectation. Xiao Deng was really fantastic. He really went all way out to ensure we had a good time. The hotel is beautiful and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Location is super convenient. We would return to this hotel if we do go back to Lijiang.

Location was perfect and just 5-10min outside of the old town. Rooms were very spacious and with great amenities. Staff were helpful in providing travel advice and assisting with any other questions!
