Hotel muy bien ubicado, lindo y cómodo.
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente, en el old town pero en una calle tranquila. Fueron por nosotros a la estación del tren y nos ayudaron a organizar un tour. Las niñas del staff son muy lindas y cariñosas, preparan el desayuno con mucho cariño. Hotel lindo cómodo y limpio.

Cons:

Nada

Nice staff, uncomfortable rooms. Underwhelming experience.
Pros:

The hotel is well located, and has a bold design (very contemporary). But don’t be fooled by the cool photos. The actual building is precarious (as I explain below). On the upside, the staff is exceedingly kind, and the breakfasts were incredibly good.

Cons:

There was no wardrobe—how are guests staying for several days expected to organize their clothes? There was also no desk or chair. Overall, the room was uncomfortable and poorly equipped, suitable only for sleeping and showering. The photos posted online give the impression of a sophisticated hotel, but my experience was very different. During my four-day stay, the room was not cleaned once, and neither the sheets nor the towels were changed.

Cons:

I did not have a wardrobe (how do they expect visitors who stay a few days to organize their clothes?), or a desk, or chairs. My room was quite umcomfortable, unprepared for doing anytyhing other than sleeping or showering. The photos they posted make you think you'll be staying at a sophisticatd hotel, but that was not my experience.

Incredible hosts to Shangri la
Pros:

The staff were attentive and accommodating. They were very patient with our questions and helped us solve for any problems we may have. We had to leave very early the last day to make our train and they packed a breakfast for us to go. I loved my stay here.

Cons:

Nothing.

June 2026 Xiangelila trip
Pros:

Location was very good in the old town and in a quiet area just a short walk from all the shops and restaurants. Breakfast was excellent, best so far compared to Dali and Lijiang. Staff friendly and discreet. Room was spacious and quiet

Cons:

Bathroom was small and designed inefficiently. Not much space when area outside was so big where the bath was. But really only a small complaint

Great place to stay
Pros:

Pretty much everything was great. The lady at reception (Liu-Liu, and my apologies if that's mis-spelled) was delightful, and so helpful. She organised transport for us, and even paid for it. She gave us a free very late check-out. The breakfast was fantastic (but be aware it's not a buffet). Our room and bed and shower were lovely. We worked out that the toilet sees one approaching, which was fun. The location is perfect: in the old town, but quiet, and a taxi can get within about 20 metres.

Cons:

Nothing. It was great.

Incredible place to stay
Pros:

We had an incredible stay at Karensansui! The hotel is , with clean, comfortable rooms that are instantly make you feel at home. The location is perfect for those who want to be in the old town but on a quiet street. The breakfast is delicious and the owners are wonderful! They helped us with all our logistics and securing a great driver for our day trip. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. We will be back.

Cons:

Nothing

I love the cozy, homely vibes!
Pros:

It feels more like a homestay rather than hotel. very cozy, local feeling. love the breakfast that Liu Liu made every morning - changes every morning. Plus point is their resident husky Xiao Ha who would greet us every morning.

Cons:

There's a bit too many steps around the place so tough to manage my luggage around. The bathroom is a little too cramp too.

Highly recommend
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was very spacious and clean, and the location was excellent. What made our experience truly special was the host and his team — they were incredibly kind, helpful, and caring throughout our stay.

We experienced altitude sickness during our trip, and they took very good care of us and made sure we were comfortable. The host also personally arranged pick-up and drop-off at both the train station and the airport, even at 6am, which we really appreciated.

Another thoughtful touch was preparing breakfast for us to take away when we had to leave early. The breakfast was delicious and very healthy.

Highly recommend this hotel for both the comfort and the exceptional hospitality!
