Hotels in Shangri-La

"The location is right in the center of Dukezong Ancient Town. Taxis or Didi can drop you off directly at the entrance. The owner is really nice and friendly, and even gave us free rides to and from Shangri-La Station! It's very close to Shangri-La Airport and Shangri-La Railway Station. The heating in the room was excellent; it could warm up to 25 degrees Celsius indoors, and the floor was even heated! 👍🏻 There are also free TV and movies. The guesthouse has a unique design, and you can see Guishan Park right from your window. I was wondering which photo studio to go to, so I asked the proprietress for recommendations (the owner actually took her wedding photos at this place 🫢). I tried ”Chunshu Xia” across the street and was very satisfied! If you're staying here, you should definitely consider it. The photos of the ancient town and prayer flags turned out amazing, and the photographer was professional! 👍🏻 The proprietress can even get you a discount!"

"The location is great. The guesthouse also offers a free shuttle service to/from the station and provides altitude sickness snacks. The breakfast was good too, lighter and less greasy than what you'd find outside. The guesthouse's design is also unique, making for a comfortable stay."

"Our stay was extremely memorable! Not only was the accommodation compound filled with animals as mentioned, the views were even more beautiful than expected. From the front reception, to the rooms, everything was well thought. The floor heating was a game changer, especially with the cold nights and mornings. The staff were extremely accommodating, always ready to answer any questions over WeChat. When we arrived and wanted to play with the Bernese mountain dogs, they immediately let them out to run about, letting us play with them for however long we wanted. In addition, the staff would give us many tips about where to go and what to eat. Lastly, I would like to mention Mike (麦克) who was super attentive to our requests. We even had tea almost everyday, with him being our personal brewmaster. Lastly, big shoutout to one of the owners that also brought his own yellow wine for us to try!! Unforgettable moment, 11/10 would recommend."

"We had a very warm welcome and the owners are very friendly and hospitalable. Very helpful and generous. The rooms are very clean and sufficiently equipped with oxygen and humidifier. The floor is already heated and even the shower area has a heater.I saw there is a steam iron and laundry room on the 2nd floor for shared use. The location is also very good in the midst of shops but away from too much noise. They also have parking area just outside their reception which was very convenient for us. They also have a coat area where you can borrow their shawls and hats! Their counter always have hot tea and sweets. They will help you carry your luggage if you need help. They also have a motorcycle rental. We had some issues with our vehicle and they were helpful to find someone and also helped us! In short, this inn is completed with everything you need that you may not want to leave! We extended from 1 night to 2 nights 🤭"

"Facilities: The decor is very ******* in style, with wood being the predominant material in the rooms. It might not have all the amenities of a typical hotel, but it's full of character. Cleanliness: It's quite clean, though there's a faint, elusive yak smell in the hallways (not entirely sure, so beware if you're sensitive to smells); the owner has several cats, which is a huge plus for cat lovers. Environment: The location is right within the ancient town, just over 900 meters from its center. Service: The service is very attentive, and the breakfast is delicious. There were also foreigners staying here. Free airport/high-speed train station/bus station pickup or drop-off: It seems this service is no longer available, but it's very close to the train station, about a 5 km taxi ride, so it won't cost much."

"My kids said they want to stay here every time we visit from now on. They loved being able to stargaze and whisper secrets from the upstairs room... The room was clean, and the bathroom had a great wet/dry separation. Downstairs, there's a small, quiet, and elegant library. Parking was convenient, and stepping out the door put us right into the ancient town. The owner was incredibly warm and provided excellent service; they even helped coordinate getting our takeout delivered after it was sent to the wrong address. We were just too rushed this time, but we'll definitely be back again and again!"

"We chose this little hotel for our final two nights in Shangrila during winter break. The location is perfect and is only a few minutes walk to the Old Town. There are many cafes and restaraunts nearby to grab a coffee or a snack. Check in was super quick and we were shown to our room which was very spaceous and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable and the room had smart control for the projector, lights and curtains. The staff had made sure the room was warm for our arrivel also. The bathroom had a huge tub, shower and seperate toilet. Plenty of high quality warm towels as well as robes were provided. The room also had an oxygen diffuser though we never suffered from altitude sickness whilst we were there. Breakfast was buffet style along with local noodles. Tasty and filling before a day out. The staff are so kind and helpful here with plenty of recommendations. They also provided fruits and snacks for us in our room. I would happily stay here again if I visit Shangrila in the future."

"We had a wonderful stay at this BanYe Manor. Breakfast was lovely, and the hotel’s location on top of the mountain offered a truly magnificent view of the Yila Grassland.. the kind that makes you pause and just breathe it in.😭😭🩵 The staff were warm, friendly, and very responsive on WeChat, helping us with recommendations and getting around. Getting a DIDI from the hotel was easy and fuss-free. The coffee was surprisingly great too. What really made this stay unforgettable were the animals — goats roaming freely all day and the hotel’s three affectionate dogs who clearly loved hugs. It felt like a beautiful, peaceful farm stay and created memories we’ll keep for a long time. Truly a fun and special stay. I already wish I could come back. The staff was so sweet too, before check out they knew we needed our morning coffee so they made coffee for us, but so sad we left before we could have some 😭😭"

"This guesthouse is excellent. They even helped us book the Tusi Feast, which was very interesting – I highly recommend everyone takes the time to experience it. The yak hotpot restaurant right next door was also incredibly delicious. Across the street, you'll find a fun photo-op wall and a small shop where you can rent electric scooters."

"Great location, close to the train station and main attractions. The compound itself was amazing, with a large open field with free-roaming animals you can interact with. The three huge but super friendly malamutes were always there to greet us when we arrive or leave. The room was spacious and clean, with thoughtful touches like an oxygen machine and heated floors, which were lifesavers during the cold winter. The highlight was definitely the beautiful view of the animal field with mountains in the background. Service was excellent, massive thanks to 阿城 and his team for taking such good care of us, and for ending each night with a warm bowl of bird’s nest soup. 100% recommended!"
