Leisure YueGuLou Inn

What a pleasure it was to stay at 阅古楼 Leisure Yuegu Lou Inn! At a whim, i decided to stay at this Inn which is at the edge of the ancient town of Lijiang. And it was a wonderful choice. Mr Zheng the manager was friendly and helpful. He gave me clear directions to the place as the Inn is situated on a hill, helped me with the luggage and even surprised me with a room upgrade. There is a restaurant that serves hotpot and other visually appealing delicacies at reasonable prices, which is convenient for guests. The Inn overlooks the ancient city, which is another rewarding factor. In addition, the management provides a professional photographer to take pictures of their guests free of charge. The restaurant staff were also welcoming and helped to take pictures. As for the room, it has nice rustic decor, comfortable sheets, and more than basic amenities are there. Although an ashtray is available, i didn't smell any cigarette smoke, which is a big plus for me. The room comes with a humidifier, an additional heater, even a toilet warmer! In the morning, i woke up early to catch the sunrise. Because of the location, i was able to see the sunrise as it peeks out of the mountains and at various vantage points from the restaurant balcony. Definitely one of the delightful highlights of this trip. The manager recommended a very affordable excursion at the city outskirt to go horseback riding, canoe paddling, take pictures with alpacas and enjoy a serene day. I was also helped with getting a ticket at a discoubted price to a show by Mr Zheng. To sum, this has been a WONDERFUl stay in Lijiang. If you want a hotel stay in a place that offers the best views of the ancient city of Lijiang, friendly and accomodating management, and more, Leisure Yue Gu Lou Inn 阅古楼 is it.

Very friendly owner! We have trouble with our heavy luggage and the owner help us to carry our bag! Location is very near to the old town which is very convenient. The owner even help us to booked to taxi to get back to the train station and I accidentally left my bag inside the taxi, call the hotel owner and he asked the driver to return our bag at the train station! My room got free upgraded because we have so many luggage, got free breakfast but we didnt manage to eat because our itinerary is very early. Overall, room is clean, polite and helpful owner! Highly recommended!
