Shangri-La Xianggeya Residence (Dukezong Ancient City Branch)

Couldn't be happier to give this hotel 5 stars. Extremely friendly, helpful, comfortable and generous. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we had a very warm friendly smile and welcome every time we came in the door. 老板是本地人，热情友善，车接车送（三轮车）：-），把我们照顾得很好；酒店地点很好，基本处于古城繁华区的中心，而且很安静，一切都很好，下次再来还会选择这里。

The homestay owner fetched me at the ancient city entrance as cab can’t drives in, and also brought me out too when I checked out. The tiles in ancient city are super hard to walk on, not to mention with the luggage. The room is slightly old, but equipped with basic amenities. The only thing that I was very satisfied is the water heater which heats up very slow, I showered with cold water most of the time coz it took too long time. Services are good in general. Owner gave me a souvenir when checked out.

Traveled with elderly parent and the 3 of us were staying in the boutique family room tatami style. We were glad that the owner has assigned ground floor room so we do not need to climb any stairs. Room was spacious , cozy and comfortable with centrally controlled heater. Has hair dryer, clean rooms and most importantly comfy beds. There is a make shift curtain acting as a door to the bathroom with good ventilation fan. Place was quiet and not noisy even though we were very near the dance square in ancient town. We were welcomed with ginger tea and friendly host Danny has provided travel options and suggestion on what to do and where to go around Shangri la. We made friends with other stayers from Korea and Ganna as we bonded over drinks and snacks. They also ferried our luggage to the north gate after our checkout. Will definitely return to stay in here again when we return to Shangri la.

service is really good by the owner. nice location and also free picked up arranged by the hotel from the train station.

Had a very comfortable 2-night stay here! Great location just a 2min walk from the North Gate of Dukezong, no problems finding the place with map apps. It's also just a short walk to Guishan Park and the dance square, which was lively and fun to watch. The weather can get chilly at night, but the room was so cozy and warm, with heated wooden floors. The shower has a digital display that tells you the temperature of the water, which was useful. The owners are very welcoming and hospitable, and the ginger tea was so warming and delicious. Would definitely stay again~

I had an amazing stay at this homestay, the owner was especially friendly, personally greeting guests and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Recommended!
