Fantastic hotel with friendly staff on a hill overlooking the old town

Reviewed By JochenHertweck

Lijiang Lize Graceland Merry Inn consists of several traditional buildings scattered around a beautiful courtyard on top of a hill providing guests with a fantastic view over the old town of Lijiang and the surrounding mountains. However, the location is also the only negative aspect of this hotel in some regards. Due to the fact that there is no road nearby getting there always requires going up or down 150 stairs, which is a decent workout even without luggage. With luggage it is really quite strenuous. On the other hand this also means that the place is quiet – truly a pleasant change compared to the tourist frenzy going on in the old town below. The hotel and the rooms are spotlessly clean and well equipped, the staff is very friendly, helpful and immediately makes you feel welcome. The Wifi connection was also fast and realiable and the Chinese breakfast quite tasty. So, if you are looking for a charming, quiet and friendly place to stay in Lijiang and don’t mind a few stairs I can highly recommend the Lize Graceland Merry Inn.

Reviewed By Catarina A

I stayed at Three Wells Inn for three nights and I enjoyed it a lot. The place is very beautiful, located in a quiet area and with a view to the mountains. It has a internal courtyard where my friends and I spent time with other guests, having a beer and chatting. The rooms are very cozy and beautifully decorated. The bed is super comfortable and the bathroom is very clean. I had the luck to have a bedroom upgrade free of charge but all the rooms are very good. The entire structure is made of wood which gives a very romantic and magical atmosphere to the place. Every room has its own outdoor space facing the courtyard, with a little sofa or a chase longue and a table. The owner is a charming Mongolian man who will welcome you with a big smile and the best hospitality. We wanted to buy Yunnan coffee so he took us there personally and was always available to help with everything. Besides, it was very interesting discussing with him about a myriad of topics. I most definetly recommend this place!

I just came home from Wamao and couldn't wait to write an review for other travellers to see. I stayed at Wamao for 4 nights. The owners made me feel like home the moment I arrived. DaDan (one of the owners) offered me local tea and great conversations the night I arrived. He was very insightful on the surrounding area and the local food & souvenirs. I was able to call him whenever I needed anything. He even educated me on how not to get scammed in LiJiang which made me feel really safe. I was looking for a place to relax and rest for 5 days, Wamao was perfect. I felt like I was at home with a bunch of friends. Everyone was super friendly and I felt as if we were long time friends. If you are looking for an relaxing vacation, Wamao is definitely your first choice :)

A place like home

Reviewed By sunyinan01

I brought my parents and son at Lijiang trip, by traveling with aged people and a kid, I am so glad that I picked here to stay. The host reminded us to bring the right clothes before we got there, and picked us up from the train station. It's such a nice hotel, the room was cozy and clean, and the yard bloomed with flowers. Even my son, who grew up in the US, loved this place right away. We ate with the host just like their family members. Not only that, any questions we had, any help we needed, the host did his best to help, you name it: car rental, local specialty shopping, best price for view point, best place to eat... he even went with us if he had time, to make sure we saw all the beautiful views but wouldn't be charged too much...wherever we went, we checked with him first, his advice was always very useful. We stayed at different hotels on this China trip, only this one made us feel like home, thanks to the host! We became friends when we left, and I really miss them. We already recommended it to all of our family members and friends.

I found this place by just walking around. It is by far the best find I've ever made. The outside is old town style and look but in the rooms it is ALL modern. The beds are soft and the bathrooms very western. The staff is the most amazing. Several speak very good English and they are so helpful. On my first day they took out a map and asked me what type of places I like and what kind of food I like. Then he marked the map of several places. Also gave me his number and said if I need any help w translation to call them! Price is great for what you are getting!

Good but some suggestion

Reviewed By Yunxing P

We stayed at Nalan about a week at the beginning of Dec. Good location, easy to reach any place inside ancient city. Nice staffs, they were helpful to show us directions, even picked us up when we got lost. The only thing bothered me was that don't trust about the travel agent the hotel recommends. We went to one spot with the agent they contacted on the first day we arrived. It turned out that it was very annoying trip. First of all , the price was more than double as price you could find inside of the ancient city. And then the route under such high price was the most basic and shortest one. Also we had to share the car with others (who spent less than half price )and waited almost 1 hour for the availability of driver. I saw once the travel agent negotiating the contract with them, so don't trust when they told you that they won't earn any from the agent they provided,coz they actually earned big.
