“Great location in the old town”

The hotel looks much nicer in the pictures than in reality. Its biggest advantage is the location – right in the middle of one of the most beautiful old towns we visited during our 16-day trip.

The hotel looks much nicer in the pictures than in reality. Its biggest advantage is the location – right in the middle of one of the most beautiful old towns we visited during our 16-day trip. However, as is common with many Chinese hotels, the rooms have no proper windows. Instead, there’s only a door that opens to a public corridor, which means it gets noisy early in the morning when people start moving around. Breakfast was very poor, with no coffee available. Dinner was better – simple but tasty, with huge portions at a low price. In the end, the real highlight of staying here is the old town itself, rather than the hotel.

This hotel is conveniently located on the main road, offering plenty of dining options if you prefer not to eat in the old town. The hotel's architecture blends seamlessly with the historic surroundings, making you feel as if you've stepped into ancient Wuxia (Kung Fu) world while walking around. The breakfast provides a good mix of Western and Eastern cuisine. There is also a laundry room inside the gym for guests' convenience. However, the building is beginning to show signs of age, with some facilities—both in the rooms and throughout the property—feeling worn. The new town is not far from the old town, allowing for a leisurely stroll where you can soak in the local atmosphere. Unfortunately, many of the streams had dried up during our visit, and the well-known water wheel was completely dry. I can only imagine how much more charming the old town would be with water flowing beneath the bridges and the soothing sound of streams accompanying a visit to one of the quaint cafés. As noted in a previous review, the hotel is actually named Duofu Resort.

“Good hotel next to South Gate”

I stayed at this hotel because I heard about the road and path in the old town that they were rough and hard to drag the baggage around in the old town and this hotel located next to the road so it's easy to get taxi to go anywhere. The decoration went well with Lijiang old town, it's like you real… Mais

I stayed at this hotel because I heard about the road and path in the old town that they were rough and hard to drag the baggage around in the old town and this hotel located next to the road so it's easy to get taxi to go anywhere. The decoration went well with Lijiang old town, it's like you really walked back in time. The courtyard was beautiful and you could go to the old town from the hotel side gate. The breakfast had many choices. The down side a bit for this hotel was that the public restroom in the hotel was dirty and I did not expect that from this hotel level. The Hotel name is actually called Duofu Hotel.

“5 star building, 3 star service”

We recently stayed for 3 nights at this hotel. Things didn't start off well when the promised pick up from the aiprort failed to arrive, leaving us to catch the only remaining taxi.

We recently stayed for 3 nights at this hotel. Things didn't start off well when the promised pick up from the aiprort failed to arrive, leaving us to catch the only remaining taxi. It was impossible to communicate with the staff by phone or at check in as their English skills are very poor. The grounds are beautiful and the hotel has delightful Chinese decor. The location at the south entrance to the old town is very good. None of the 3 rooms we booked had functioning air conditioning. Overall a positive experience, but service needs to be improved to attract foreigners.
