Designed with local architectural features, Lijiang Gui Yuan Tian Ju Guesthouse boasts an ideal location and classy guestrooms. Free WiFi access is available throughout the entire hotel. Guests can use self-laundry and dryer facilities for free.

Centrally located but quiet, helpful English-speaking staff (the *only* place in China where I could actually communicate in English rather than using a translation app!). Very quick WeChat responses to questions. Would definitely recommend (or return myself).

Located in Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang Jayden Lodge臣安山居民宿 - Namaste is a traditional Naxi-style courtyard. The property has 2 floors with free Wi-Fi in all areas. All guests can enjoy an afternoon tea and a yoga class for free. Airport/train station pickup service is free for guests who stay for 3 nights or more.

We really enjoyed our stay at Jayden Lodge Homestay. Johnson and Carole were so welcoming and friendly, we felt like home at their place. It was really appreciable to speak English with them, they are also really happy to share and to help. The bedroom was really big and bright, and it was greatly atypical to stay in an old naxi house. Everything was perfect, we highly recommend!

    The property is small but sufficient for our stay. The dogs are extremely adorable and friendly. The hostel owners prepared good amount of breakfast for the seven of us, even though our booking only includes 4 people’s. Thank you for the hospitality and good stay!

    Good value for money. This guesthouse is really a hidden gem, it's in a quiet lane of the old town. What makes me love gegewu is the support provided by the little staff. She helped book trips and was always available to provide any needed help.. One night when I came back she brought me a cake. in addition, it really warmed my heart. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated in a traditional style. I highly recommend this guest house.

    Joey and Joy with crew are the best hosts you can find. Caring, including, welcoming and correct. It's like coming home. Cozy place. 2min walk from where it all happens. This keeps it quiet but in the middle of it. Will certainly stay here when ever I go to Lijiang. Could not be more satisfied.

    Wonderful hosts, great Tea and welcome drinks. and plenty of useful information. Free fruit and snacks for all to try. Great location at the edge of Old Town. A few steps to climb, but nothing major. Nice size rooms, and we got a free upgrade due to quiet season.

    The guesthouse is very nice and quiet. I stayed for a week and felt like home. The breakfast and tea were delicious. The owner was very attentive and helpful. You could ask her anything and she was happy to help. I was working remotely and the WiFi was very stable. I enjoyed my stay a lot.
