The view of this hotel was excellent. The courtyard was tastefully landscape however the antique rooms were a ripoff for the price that was paid. The antique beds were terribly uncomfortable and extremely narrow but worst of all taking a bath was sheer impossible as the shower rose as well as the rain shower was not working properly as there...

Cozy (small) hotel and rooms. Great view of Lijiang from the balcony. Only one of us could be on the floor or bath at one time. But we made it work and it worked well. Beds, like many in this part of China, was very thin and hard. We did our computer work on the deck and chairs outside the... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and really enjoyed it. The location is perfectly placed within the Old Town of Lijiang and you can easily walk everywhere. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was good,clean,comfortable and big enough. Breakfast was also good quality and enough to choose from. The courtyard and balconies were very peaceful to sit... More

This was a lovely peaceful oasis in the hustle and bustle of touristy Old Town. Staff was lovely, nice breakfasts, rooms basic but clean and comfortable (Asian beds so be forewarned). The staff members were accommodating and seem to really care about our comfort. We went to Lugu lake overnight and they graciously held our bags for us until our... More

We stayed at the Zen Garden for 2 nights in the simple rooms. The room is nice and clean. Not much room for the luggage. The view from the balcony is amassing and the location is good. The owner tried to help and he always ask us if we need anything and offer hot tea and cookies on the house..... More

We stayed for a couple of nights during QingMing holiday. The staff were very helpful and spoke English. The room design was cramped and basic, with one window overlooking the walkway, and a modular bathroom. If you can make do with the simplicity of the accommodation, the other parts of the hotel....service, location, atmosphere, are fine. We especially appreciated the... More

We stayed at the Zen Garden Hotel in December 2011 for 4 nights. I don't think you could ask for a better location in the Old Town. It's a beautiful respite from the craziness outside that is Lijiang Old Town. The hotel is beautiful with a small central courtyard and fish pond. The staff were very friendly and helpful although...

Location was great, very close to the main square in the old city; the owner is indeed very attentive, as signalled by other reviewers; the zen garden is indeed very nice, and a lady playing harp in the garden during breakfast was a plus. However, the room was very basic, small -once I had put my suitcase on the floor... More

We stayed here for 2 night during our China trip and had a wonderfull stay. Excellent location in the middle of beautiful Lijiang. Clean rooms and excellent service. We especially enjoyed talking to the owner (do no know his name unfortunately). He was a very kind and pleasant man, tending to your every needs. Would definitely recommend this hotel. More
