JI Hotel (Lijiang Gucheng South Gate)

The environment and hygiene are, as always, excellent, and the location is great too – you can just walk to the ancient town. The service is beyond words! I had booked for two nights but ended up canceling one. We were a group of four, and the hotel only provided two breakfasts initially, but they kindly added two more for us. And the quality of the breakfast? Absolutely fantastic! 👍👍👍👍

The entrance is grand and the design is cohesive. Even though it's been open for less than a year, there's no strong renovation smell. It would be perfect if there was diffused oxygen, so my whole family could stay with complete peace of mind.

I'm not sure how this Ji Hotel branch trains its staff. On the 23rd, after a full day out, I arrived at the front desk around 5 PM to check in. The two front desk service ambassadors were chatting, and neither of them bothered to ask if I needed assistance or offered any greeting. After standing in front of them for two minutes, I had to proactively ask if I could check in. During the identity verification process, the bespectacled service ambassador handling my check-in took two phone calls and left her workstation twice. We understand that things can get busy, but if you've already started serving me, shouldn't the normal procedure be to complete our check-in first, instead of leaving us standing there awkwardly? After traveling around Yunnan for over ten days, the front desk service at this Ji Hotel was by far the rudest and most unprofessional of all the hotels we stayed in.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to Lijiang Ancient Town, making it easy to get around to attractions like the Old Town and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The breakfast is varied and the hygiene conditions are good. It's definitely worth staying here.

Highly recommend this hotel! The room was bright, well-equipped, and modern. The bathroom had excellent wet/dry separation. The soundproofing was amazing – couldn't hear any hallway noise, so it was incredibly quiet. The cleaning staff were very thorough, and the service team was always available. Excellent value for money, truly worth repeat visits!

Great location, very convenient for getting around. The breakfast buffet also offers good value for money.

The hotel is newly renovated, and the room was very clean with no strange odors. It was quiet at night, perfect for sleeping. It's also conveniently located near the South Gate of the ancient city, making sightseeing very easy. The hotel has its own parking lot, which is a huge plus for coming and going, unlike hotels inside the ancient city where you have to park far away and lug your luggage in, which is a hassle. The breakfast quality was excellent. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, explaining the room facilities and even assisting with our luggage.

This is the tallest building in the area, and from my sixth-floor room, I had an unobstructed view. It's right next to the south gate of Lijiang Old Town, and the 101 bus to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain stops directly across the street. The location is unbeatable!
