Shangri-La Banxia Time Homestay (Dukezong Ancient City Branch)

I love this place. Highly recommended. The place is 5 mins walk from the Shangrila Old town. It located near to the main road and it easy to take Didi. It also located 3 minutes walk to halal restaurant. The owner of this guesthouse is a very helpful family. There are very resourceful and always give info and suggestion about the place. The owner communicated with me via wechat and really welcomed us there. He offered me a free pick up from Shangrila Railway Station and upgraded our room. We were so happy the room is very big amd cozy , it was so cold at night but there were an electric heater blanket. They also offered unlimited flow of bottle water. The owner’s wife also helped us to choose a pick up and drop off location for our Didi. Overall it was the best hotel i ever stayed in Shangrila Yunnan. 5 stars hospitality.

The room is very beautiful, spacious and clean. The location is also good, it is inside the ancient town. For muslim, this place is near to a few halal restaurants, hence very convenient. But what made us feel so happy is the service. All the people who own this homestay are very kind and nice. They pick us up from the train station for free, help us to rent a scooter, lent us jackets and umbrella. The staff are very welcoming and heartwarming, always asking if we need any help. They even help to provide a small room for us to pray after checking out. Very considerate people 🥰 Recommended to stay. I would love to stay there again if I ever come to Shangri-la in the future.

THE HOSTS WERE SUCH GEMS !!! They picked me up from the main road with all my heavy luggages. Recommended me where to go. Helped me with bookings. Everyone was very helpful. They even helped me to buy a luggage from ******* and got it delivered right to my doorstep within 40minutes. Extremely grateful to all of them for making my stay in Shangri-la an unforgettable one. Room was very spacious, clean, heated with floor heating. I asked for extra heater as Shangri-la gets colder at night. Location was perfect. Middle of the ancient town. Walking distance to the prayer wheel. 20 minutes to Songzanlin Monastery by Didi. Will definitely come back to this hotel.

The location is superb! Very near to the ancient town, took only 1 minute to walk. The host is VERY NICE, VERY HELPFUL! Love the room, love the host. My baby likes it, my husband and I fell in love with it. PERFECT STAY IN SHANGRI-LA. You wont regret at all.
