“The best old time location and experience.”

Ohh staying here made my whole Lijiang experience 10/10. Julia is such an exceptional host she helped me suggest places to go with locations. Also enjoyed the afternoon tea, and breakfast choices are good. The whole stuff is nice and very helpful. Cleanliness is top notch with everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect. Don't worry about noisy around 10 pm. The old town itself gets quiet, and the Mingsu is so peaceful all the time. Julia also helped organize the transport from and to the airport, don't worry about luggage and old town roads.

In ancient town. Lovely staff. Ginger tea and snacks upon our arrival back to hotel each day

“Perfect stay - fell home”

My stay in Lijiang on Artistic-Suite was perfect Even before arriving to Lijiang Julia reached out to me to give me instructions around the pick-up and to give tips around my stay During the stay the stuff made everything possible to make me feel like home - giving me constant advice, tips, where to eat, where to visit and helping me contact the tour guides I booked. They also were extremely kind and friendly with me Last but not least, the hotel is in a perfect location and is clean, beautiful and with lot of space Breakfast was great and the room was clean and big Would love to return

“Highly recommended”

Highly recommended. Julia & Jeff are wonderful People, offer Incredible food, comfortable bigger room, excellent location.

Best service I have experienced. The staff was extremely helpful, they arranged a smooth pickup from the airport for me. As I was leaving early in the morning for a tour, a breakfast package was prepared for me in advance. Ms. Julia even helped me fix an issue with my SIM card by calling the operator. Since I wanted to practice my Chinese, they spoke the language with me patiently the whole time. The location is great and I loved the traditional wooden building, which made the experience even more authentic. 100% recommended.

“An unforgettable stay in the heart of Lijiang”

Our stay in Lijiang was truly memorable, largely thanks to our amazing host, Julia. She contacted me two months in advance to check if I needed anything and took care of every request. We were warmly welcomed with snacks, and throughout our stay she kept surprising us with thoughtful treats. She shared fantastic recommendations for restaurants, cafés, and photo spots, and even assisted us perfectly when it was time to leave. The room was excellent and the location could n’t have been better, right in the heart of Lijiang Old Town. We felt genuinely cared for. Highly recommended!

“Exceptional hospitality and exceptional place to stay”

First of all, Julia - the manager of the Inn, is exceptionally friendly, helpful, and attentive, including her small Team of staff. Julia started reaching out to us well before we arrive in China via first by Whatsapp and then we communicate on WeChat. She arranged someone to pick us up from the Train Station, and later also send us back when we left. Julia also made full arrangement for us for a day trip to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, including a Driver and tickets, with not extra charges, and also discounted ticket to The Legend of Romance show. The Inn is very nice - clean, comfortable, and very quiet - BIG room with ensuite with a BIG bathtub. The whole property just make us feel relax and welcoming. It is located about 500m from the Carpark, with lots of restaurants just 20-50m away (ask Julia, she has a good list of suggestion). It is a bit out of the busy area in the Old Town, but that's exactly what we wanted. Best of all, it is behind the Police Station of the Old Town - so probably the safest place around :) Cannot thanks enough for Julia and her Team hospitality - the fantastic tea and fruits served when we reach "home", the chatting sharing of local info (Julia is very informative), and the small menu breakfast with fantastic coffee that's good enough for the start of the day. I have no knowledge of other accommodations in Lijiang Old Town, but if I ever go back Lijiang and Julia is there, I will certainly stay at Artistic Suite again.

“Will come again”

Everything from staff to locations to cleaniliness. Staff super helpful, good location, out from the door you can find food and shopping.

“太棒了！ would definitely stay here again!”

I was amazed the moment when we stepped into the room. It was smoke free, extremely clean and spacious! It was a bidet toilet in mine too! Not just the room, the entire front desk, environment etc was super clean and welcoming. The owner, Julia was extremely friendly and helpful during the entire trip. She reached out before the trip to check in about our transport and also helped made suggestions for during the trip. When I fell sick, Julia advised on going to the hospital which turned out to be a wise decision❤️ As I was sick, we had to call off our plans to yulong mountain. Thankfully we booked through the hotel and Julia managed to get majority of the fees refunded (only paid 190Rmb in the end). Can’t imagine having to deal with trip cancellation/all these admin things when I’m sick. Super thankful and appreciative of their help. Value for money and it’s located right in 古城which means easy access to food/shopping as well. Tip: if you’re going there by car, just be aware that cars can’t drive into 古城。 Easily solved by arranging with the owner, Julia and she can arrange for the cyclist/motorcyclist cart to transport our luggages from the nearest pickup point. Would stay again if I’m back to Lijiang 💯 thank you to their entire team including xiao rou and Jeff!

“Good recommendations from hotel manager on sightseeing trips and dining options.”

Within Old town but modern facilities. Very pleasant experiences.

“Overall a comfortable and enjoyable stay”

Spacious, clean and well appointed room in the center of old town. Staff were friendly and Julia really helped us out when we needed it including booking our own private tour and even packed us a breakfast bag. Staying there felt like travelling back in time but with modern conveniences.

I’m so glad I chose your place – it ended up being a proper lovely stay. You lot really put my mind at ease, especially with the front desk answering all my daft question Everyone there’s an absolute gem! unexperted my veggie brekkies!! tasted proper good too. Honestly felt like I was stopping round a mate’s place rather than some guesthouse. Cheers for everything!"

The host and hostess was amazing! Julia was very kind and responses very fast to our enquiries. We also enjoyed spending the noon and nights chatting about with her at the lobby while enjoying some Chinese tea

“Julia, Jeffrey and their staff made us feel like this was our home.”

The breakfast was excellent. It was simple but personally made to order by a pleasant staff person. The food was served hot and fresh. It was included in the cost. The location was amazing. It conveniently located in the heart of the ancient town. With plenty of support with directions and arrangements of transportation. We were picked and dropped off at the train station. The room was spacious, bright, carefully laid out, consistent with old town character yet provided modern amenities. Julia and Jeffrey take a very personal approach to managing their hotel. The reception /customer service staff were exceptional. We were very impressed!

“Nice little Chinese hotel, superbly located in old town with great staff.”

Great location in old town

“Highly recommended.”

Located in the old town and minutes away from the market and food street. Room was spacious and comfortable. Special thanks to Julia who was patient to answer my questions via WeChat even before arrival. And thanks for the breakfast that was packed for us due to an early departure.

The owner was very friendly & helpful

“Very good service , and the room is so clean.”

Good service.

Perfect location. Beautiful old building with modern facilities. Special thanks to Julia, who made sure I was taken care of.

“Artistic in every sector”

Location was in the middle of the old town.. accessibility was perfect... Staff were most friendliest and always ready to check if you need help and always ready to assist... Room is comfortable and clean... Toilet and Shower immaculate condition... There are thousands of Inns like this in the old town... But I am sure the ladies of the house will win all hearts...
