Can't really recommend this place. They stuffed up our booking, the rooms downstairs are noisy, and the breakfast the worst we had in China. Poor value, compared to places nearby which looked better, and way cheaper. More

We already reported problems this review to TripAdvisor and hope the person could provide evidence he or she actually stayed in our hotel. Due to our small size, we basically know every guest in person. We never had any guests remotely close to this "mark and sue h" with such vague claims. This person also wrote a bad review on... More

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights April 2012. I should have stayed for 7 but I had to change hotels as I found the walk up the hill and especially the steps to hard after recent surgery. The owner Kevin and his manager Jenny were so kind and understood the problems. Kevin even arranged for his driver to... More

As a family of 5, with 3 boys in their early twenties, this ticked all the boxes. We stayed on Lion Hill, in attractive spacious suites arranged in a courtyard style, overlooking the old town and mountains in the distance. Kevin the owner speaks excellent English and was extremely helpful both before and during our stay, helping us plan our... More

This is our second time back to this lovely place. Last time was in 2010 summer and we were with parents staying at the Waterfront property, and we enjoyed the time there. We were told by many people that Spring would be even better season with beautiful flowers everywhere and few tourist crowds in the old town than in summer.... More

I have traveled extensively all over China over the last several years and this is the most disappointed experience so far. While one should not expect mich from a room that cost less $40, it was certainly not as represented. If one googles the words "definition of a boutique hotel" a few definitions come up but none that correspond to... More

First of all, all our rooms / suites at our 3 locations we offer free, good quality loose leaf green tea in the room to all our guests, and we serve tea as our welcome drinks during reception as well. Western breakfasts come with either coffee or tea, even though most guests chose coffee, which may be taken by our... More

We stayed in this boutique hotel in a recent trip to Lijiang & other parts of Yunnan, and it had been a wonderful experience to us. The view from our private balcony was amazing, and we especially loved the 2 deck chairs on our balcony, which we enjoyed a great deal. What a wonderful view! The suite was nicely appointed,... More

It was a lovely stay at this small hotel on the peak of Lion Hill, which overlooks the Old Town and offers stunning view right from our balcony. We arrived after the Lunar New Year holiday peak season, and then tourist crowds got much less. It was really quiet during day time, when the view was also most beautiful. Lijiang... More

We just got back from a long trip in China, and Lijiang was one of our highlights. The stay at The Tea Boutique had contributed to our very positive impression on Lijiang, even though many people thought it is getting a bit touristy for this remote part in China. As ethnic Chinese, we loved to see the traditional part of... More

We recently stayed at The Tea Boutique during one of the low seasows in Lijiang, and the experiences had been simply wonderful. Having been in China long enough, we know we should try to avoid the peak travel seasons in Lijiang (esp. the so-called "Golden Weeks" in China) whenever possible, so we can spend some quiet, quality time in our...
