Another residence · island and coffee garden vacation B & B

I love this place! Huge beautiful garden and a lot of space for relaxing, great decoration and great location. The room is nice, I got a second floor with 2 bedrooms, comfy bed and in the room have everything you need. The staff was really nice and helpful, they picked us up at the main gate and helped us with the luggage. Some of them can speak a little bit of English. Oh don't forget nice afternoon coffee and pastries, a really nice a**osphere and nice staff and owners. Highly recommended!!

I loved every minute at this hotel. The location is unbeatable in the centre of everything and absolutely calm. The staff is not accustomed to non-Chinese guests. I enjoyed even greater attention. Communication through WeChat with translation worked perfectly. They helped me to organize my day tour to the Leaping Tiger Gorge and a marvelous driver to my next destination Shaxi. 100% recommended.

After staying in this hotel for 4 days, other hotels have a very high benchmark to follow! Service and room comfort is top notch. 小谭 is an excellent customer service guy. He communicated effortlessly with my limited Chinese and helped us from before we arrived until after we left. All our transport, tours and activities in Lijiang were arranged by him. I believe that because of his high expectations from the service providers, we got the best experience (and at reasonable price too!). The room was very spacious and comfortable with 2 heaters and plenty of drinking water. I am a sensitive sleeper who cannot tolerate noise. It is very peaceful here and is only troubled by boisterous guests. The owner of this hotel is not stingy and has discerning taste. He must also be a kind man as all the staff are committed and happy to work. The only sour note are the staff manning the coffee station. They are aloof and curt, like they are helping in their father's cafe. Location is perfectly situated in the heart of the ancient city, a couple of strides and you can find food, entertainment and the beautiful canals. However, it is about 10 minutes walk to the main gate so if you are going out for tours and visiting other spots in Lijiang, make sure you save energy to walk back to the hotel at the end of the day. Also, we forgot to mark the location and got lost trying to get back. This hotel has truly elevated our holiday experience in Lijiang. Special thank you to 小谭 and 小石 for taking the time to chat with us over perfectly brewed tea. And thank you all for inviting us to join your sumptuous staff dinner ❤️

Centrally located yet tucked away in a quiet alley, my stay at Another Residence was very pleasant. The staff was hospitable, breakfast was decent, and the room was clean. The courtyard and the afternoon yoga classes were the highlight of my trip. Would definitely visit again.

Excellent customer service and amenities This is definitely a place I will come to stay again

Fantastic bed breakfast in a quieter part of lijiang. Great service, they helped us book multiple tours and private cars at a great price. Beautiful views of the mountain and wonderfully maintained courtyards. Stay comes with free coffee and dessert every day at the attached coffeeshop- probably the most beautiful cafe I’ve ever been in. 10/10 would stay here again

Amazing place with spacious rooms and lovely afternoon tea. Rooms were so clean

We thoroughly enjoyed our 7 night stay at Another Residence. From the free airport pickup/dropoff to the tea tastings and staff who go above and beyond. The location is right in the heart of Shuhe old Town and our Garden room was cozy and very peaceful. The room was rustic, large and clean and we spent large parts of the day simply chilling here. There is even a dedicated tea drinking area in the room to try puer tea daily. The island bar/cafe is a beautiful setting to have breakfast or an afternoon tea by the water. There are also multiple places indoor and outdoor to brew up tea provided by the residence. We were left alone to do as we pleased but any questions were answered immediately- such as ways to find the old tea horse path. We travelled as a couple but this is a great place for groups or families wanting to soak in this peaceful environment. Hopefully we can come back soon!

Hotel location was very good, inside the Shuhe old town close to many restaurants and shops. The reception desk was very helpful and welcoming. The room was clean and beds were very comfortable. There was no AC, but it’s cool there so we didn’t need it, although July. I highly recommend this hotel.
