“Perfect for a night in Shangri la”
Great location, just a few minutes' walk from the town. Underfloor heating in the bedroom which made it very cosy. Great staff. The super Manager picked us up from the train station which was fantastic.

“I highly recommend”
Excellent guesthouse — I had a wonderful stay there. The location is ideal, very close to the old town yet in a quiet area. The wooden room was tastefully furnished, the morning coffee was great, and above all, the owner of the guesthouse is extremely hospitable and kind — he even drove me to the train station on my last day. I highly recommend staying at Courtyard Shangri-la!

Wonderful stay in Shangrila! Mr. Lee was incredibly kind and helpful - he personally picked us up at the airport and then even dropped us off at the train station at the end of our stay. The hotel was cosy, clean and full of charm. Great location and warm hospitality made us feel right at home. Highly recommend staying here! I hope to revisit one day!

“Great hospitality with very nice property”
Mr Lee - the owner of the place had upgraded our booking to another of his property just few doors away from Courtyard Shangri-la. It is a much bigger and newer property - actually everything looked new. Mr Lee had given us a big penthouse with sitting and ensuite downstair and a big area on the upper floor with 2 queen beds, another sitting / TV area, a large writing table, huge bathtub, and another toilet. This room can in fact stay for at least 4 persons comfortably. The property was clean, very comfortable and very quiet. It also feel secure and exclusive. Taxi or Didi can just reach up to the entrance of the property, so it is also very convenient in that sense. Mr Lee has been very kind to offer to pick us up at the train station when we arrived and drop us off when we left with his nice big 4WD. We can also enjoy our coffee at Courtyard Shangri-la in the morning for free. The property is a bit out of the busy area of Dukezong Ancient City but it is better as it is more peaceful with less people. It also has a very nice view to the Big Buddha Temple at Guishan Park in the Ancient Town (from the upper floor) - particularly when the lights are on, fantastic view! Note that this IS NOT about Courtyard Shangri-la but another newer property of the same owner. Thanks to Mr Lee for his hospitality. If I ever return to Shangri-la City, I will certainly contact Mr Lee again.

“Very good experience, worth the money”
This place is sooo amazing 🤩 it is a Tibetan inspired stay, it’s clean 5⭐️ (not dusty,did not trigger my sinus ⭐️) clean bed sheets. the highlight is it has a heated bed and floor which is god sent during snow or cold weather. Toiletries and towel provided, has a kettle in the room and some candy. Good shampoo and body wash. The location is strategic, near the ancient town, lot of food shops, walking distance The owner is so charming (and handsome like a movie star 🌟 haha) he is able to communicate in English, and he is so kind to pick us and drop us at the train station early morning 🥹 -No insects seen during my whole stay -No paranormal activity 😆

“Great little hotel, with wonderful hosts.”
The hosts were so lovely, and helpful. Providing tea whenever we came back to the hotel and giving us some freshly baked cakes to sample. The first hotel I’ve been it which provides shawls and hats for guests to borrow. The room was big, and very comfortable.

A wonderful welcome by this nice young couple who has beautifully transformed this old, wooden house into an oasis of calm in the old city of Shangrila. Bedding and showering are also very pleasant.

“A very nice and cozy stay in Shangri-la”
Within 10min of Walking, we could reach every angle of the ancient city. Furthermore, the room was spacious and comfortable with a charming wooden touch. But most of all, Gin and his staff made our stay memorable with their very helpful and generous manner.

Close to old town centre but far away enough from the bars so it remains quiet during the night. Staff was extremely helpful and helped to order medicine when my sister was unwell with altitude sickness in the middle of the nigh.
