Inns in Jianchuan

I would like to give them 10/10 for everything. Their service and hospitality is above and beyond expectation. As foreigner travellers, their help means a lot to us. Pros: - perfect location. Car can access the inn's front door. - room and facilities: well thought decoration with both modern equipment and traditional decoration items. Also have fridge and projector. - food and drinks: complimentary soft drinks and mineral water are provided. Warm milk brought to room at night. Delicious home made breakfast with generous portion and lovely presentation. - service: perfect and exceptional. They even helped me find car pool contacts for our travel from Lijiang to the inn and then to Dali, and received my online orders. Cons: nothing. I would love to go back to this place and will definitely recommend it to anyone. Also love Cola the cat 🥰

Before our family of three visited Shaxi Ancient Town, we called Mr. Zhao, the owner of the guesthouse, for advice. He explained the location and surrounding area in detail, which convinced us to book immediately. On the day of our arrival, Mr. Zhao called in advance to inquire about our itinerary, reserve a parking space, and even waited at the door to help with our luggage. He also thoughtfully introduced the facilities and travel tips. The guesthouse is only a few minutes' walk from the ancient town, and parking is available right outside, which is incredibly convenient for traveling with a child. The courtyard is elegant and clean, and our child loved it as soon as we entered. The tatami area in the first-floor room was perfect for our child to play and relax while we chatted and drank tea without disturbing each other. In the morning, we could see the garden view from the window, and the breakfast prepared by the owner's wife was also very satisfying for our child. This thoughtfulness from booking to check-in made our trip full of warmth. If you're going to Shaxi, this guesthouse is definitely worth considering; it will surely give you a comfortable experience.

A very satisfying stay! I booked this place because I loved its style. The guesthouse has two courtyards with flowers, grass, trees, and a super cute chubby cat named Tuantuan! 🐱❤️ The entire hotel was new and clean. The staff were incredibly welcoming, helping with my luggage as soon as I got out of the car. They were also very helpful and responsive to any questions I asked on WeChat. They even provided welcome fruit, afternoon tea, and a sweet evening soup. This was my first time in Shaxi, and the many small details of the hotel touched me and increased my positive impression of Shaxi. 😘 The hotel also offers a free traditional Chinese armchair craft experience, which was really fun! The hotel is located in the ancient town, and if you want to visit the surrounding villages, the staff will help arrange transportation and recommend less crowded, photogenic spots. I went to a coffee shop recommended by the hotel, and it was absolutely gorgeous! I also saw a stunning sunset! 🌄

Stepping into Shaxi Ancient Town felt like embracing a gentle dream, a delightful surprise on my solo journey. This hidden gem of a guesthouse, near the North Gate, is truly special. Sunlight filters beautifully through the wooden window frames, perfect for lingering all morning. Open the door and you're greeted by a flagstone path and the charm of an old alley, with picturesque photo spots everywhere. It's super convenient too; Sifangtai and Yulu Bridge are just a short walk away. The room itself was quiet and cozy, with a super soft mattress that smelled like it had been sun-dried. The owner is incredibly warm and thoughtful, a sensitive and kind young woman who takes amazing photos. Her pour-over coffee and teas are fantastic, and all her recommendations for local Yunnan snacks and dishes were spot on – not a single bad pick!

The inn is located in the center of Shaxi Town. The housekeeper said that he would pick us up at the parking lot near the main temple, but we were too confident and missed the nearest intersection by navigating. After walking around Dongzhaimen, we called the housekeeper and found the inn quickly after being pointed out. So next time, remember to ask the inn to pick us up. The room is clean and tidy, the facilities are complete, and the service is good. It is quiet in the bustling area, and it is very close to the ancient theater, Dongzhaimen, and Yujin Bridge.

The B&B is located inside the ancient town. They thoughtfully picked us up at the parking lot and helped with our luggage. I have to say, staying within the ancient town in Shaxi makes for a completely different and incredibly peaceful and healing experience. While the B&B's facilities are a bit older and rustic due to its age, the amenities are absolutely top-notch. They use Kleenex facial tissues, Dyson hair dryers, and Kao hand soap and underwear detergent, and the toiletries smell lovely. The value for money here is outstanding! The breakfast is a customizable set meal, freshly prepared by the owner. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented – easily the best breakfast we had on this trip to Yunnan! We checked in the evening before, and the next afternoon, the B&B even treated us to afternoon tea and a 'Jiama' (traditional paper horse) experience. The owner also gave us an extra print, making for a truly fulfilling and satisfying end to our trip. Shaxi is beautiful, and I'd definitely stay here again next time! P.S. When we were looking for it during the day, we realized the B&B's entrance is right where Granny Xie set up her stall in the show! We immediately went and took some pictures, haha.

Highly recommend! First off, the location is excellent; taxis can drop you right at the entrance, so no dragging luggage around. The room is very new, and the facilities are complete and well-arranged. Stepping out of the door into the small courtyard is just pure bliss. Plus, the landlady's breakfast is incredibly delicious—a warm bowl of rice noodles to start a happy day in Shaxi. I'll definitely come back and stay longer next time.

This guesthouse truly lives up to its name, 'Absolute Art,' and is undoubtedly a masterpiece created by cultural figures and artists. It beautifully blends rich local ethnic charm with a distinctive artistic aesthetic. From the public areas to the rooms, downstairs to upstairs, and from every wall, door, and window to each stair, table, chair, tree, flower, and blade of grass, everything is a vibrant, meticulously arranged picture. It's no wonder it's become a popular photo spot in Shaxi. However, since it's a renovation of an old house, the bathroom is a bit small, and some facilities are lacking. Also, during the peak Chinese New Year period, driving in and out and parking were a bit challenging, and unfortunately, we had to pay for parking. The hotel staff, though seemingly few, were all very enthusiastic. They guided our car from outside the village into town and helped us find a parking spot, gave detailed instructions on using the various room facilities, and assisted with luggage during pick-up and drop-off. Coupled with its excellent location in the heart of the ancient town, making it incredibly convenient for exploring and dining, this is definitely the top accommodation choice in Shaxi Ancient Town!

1. The house is located in an ancient town, with an all-wood structure, and a small bar downstairs. The rooms are clean and elegant, the bedding is soft and comfortable, the owner is warm and attentive, and the location is convenient. It was a truly healing retreat during my Yunnan trip – I was extremely satisfied! 2. The rustic wood design is simply delightful, the natural light is excellent, the views are great, and the details are full of thoughtful touches. It was a comfortable and relaxing stay, definitely worth revisiting! 3. Close to attractions, convenient transportation, complete facilities, and the owner's recommended local delicacies were incredibly authentic. This trip was made even more perfect by it! 4. A tranquil and comfortable haven, stylishly decorated without being perfunctory, impeccably clean, and with heartwarming service – a rare and reassuring place during my travels!

The cobblestone streets in the ancient town make it difficult to pull luggage, so it's a good idea to contact the hotel in advance for help with luggage. It's an old wooden building with relatively narrow stairs. However, the room is very well-ventilated – opening the window feels great, and privacy isn't an issue with the nearby buildings. The only thing is that the wooden building has poor soundproofing at night, which the front desk staff will warn you about. If noise is an issue, they'll help communicate with other guests, which is very thoughtful. It's also very close to the Didi bus pick-up point, making it convenient for heading to Lijiang the next day.
