Decent stay with all necessary amenities provided. Sound-proofing of the room isn’t good. We can hear chatting from the next door loudly at night, as well as electric vehicles driving up and down the alleys.
Hotel is located in the ancient town so it’s convenient to move around for food and souvenirs. However, it’s located uphill so coming back it’s always a test of stamina.
Do contact the hotel prior arriving so that you can get them to transport big luggage using their electric vehicle.

Great place located in the Dukezong Ancient City at the top of a hill, they will pick you up from the city gates so you don't have to drag your luggage all the way up the hill. Yummy Chinese breakfast, friendly lady boss & free ******* outfits that you can rent for a day!

Hotel is a little old. Location quite steep above a slope. No changing of hotel towels during the stay. No clean up of the rubbish bin.
Our first room that is given, the toilet glass door shattered before we check in, was a bless that it did not happen after we check in. It was scary.
Response from Property: Hello! Hello to the owner of Xiangshe, Yang Jinlam. Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry for the bad experience you had. We have promptly checked and rectified the issues you raised, and have achieved customer satisfaction, which has affected your travel. We apologize and wish you good health, Zazidele!

Great location and friendly, helpful staff. One young man walked me straight to a very decent restaurant because I mentioned I was hungry. I do not smoke, and that will prevent me from staying here again. The entire place is heavily seasoned with stale cigarette smoke, including the two (very friendly and helpful) young male staff. The smell was so stong, I had to stand at a distance from them and remain outside of the place as long as I could. There is no such thing as a non-smoking room here. Noise was also an issue, due to the construction of the building. One attached image shows one of the few gaps in the walls where light, smoke and noise entered the room readily. There was noise until about 3:00 AM from the outside, from the lobby, and from the room above. I was in room 105 which faced the alley that tourists raced scooters up all day and evening. If you are a smoker, this could be a cozy place for you. Side note: the ******* Goodness café (pictured) served some of the best coffee I had in China. It has a great vibe and is close to the inn.

Great hotel, and view, staff were also very helpful. Only issue we had was the uphill location and the ceiling were a bit low for taller people but other than that it was great.
Response from Property: good morning! good afternoon! good night! Hello to the owner of Xiangshe, Yang Jinlam! There are many sayings about "Shangri La", which is the "ultimate paradise" in Buddhism,It is the "sun and moon in the heart" in *******, and is known as the "closest place to heaven". It is a paradise that people repeatedly seek and yearn for. Snow capped mountains, lakes, and clear blue skies, if the beauty of nature is pure and intoxicating, then religion, temples, devout faith, and ******* culture bring peace of mind to people. Many people have a kind of obsession and regard it as a place to visit no matter what, like a pilgrimage. This place seems to have magical powers, and all the photos taken here have a strong regional charm, making people recognize the ownership of the photos at a glance. It is precisely one of the reasons why "internet celebrities" have become "internet celebrities". These "internet celebrity check-in spots" from the snowy plateau can easily solve your food and accommodation problems. If you don't know, don't miss them. Welcome back to Shangri La, back to the Fragrant Cottage.

The hotel is on a steep slope not for people with health conditions. The hotel is a little over priced.
Response from Property: good morning! good afternoon! good night! Master Yang Jinlam of Xiangsheri greets you, thank you for your evaluation. Thank you very much for choosing our hotel and providing feedback. Xiangshali Hotel is a ******* homestay built on the mountain, blending with nature. The design features a second floor landscape terrace with a wide view, overlooking the entire ancient city. We strive to create the most beautiful homestay in Xiangshali. In the early morning, the sun rises from the east side of the mountain, leaving a leisurely aftertaste. At night, as night falls, we take photos and check-in here without any noise, but instead add a sense of tranquility and ease, rediscovering that relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. In terms of pricing, we have always been committed to providing high-quality services and facilities while maintaining a reasonable pricing strategy. We will carefully review and continuously optimize our pricing system, strive to improve cost-effectiveness, and bring guests a more satisfactory stay experience. Wishing you a happy life and all the best! Have a good trip.

We absolutely loved this hotel. The room was warm and cozy, the heated floors were amazing when it was cold outside. The hosts were wonderful and the location is perfect. No complaints!
Response from Property: Good morning! Good afternoon! Good night! Hello to the owner of Xiangshe Li, Yang Jinlam. The environment is clean and the service attitude is good. Thank you. The majestic snow capped mountains, ancient cities, green grasslands, diverse ethnic cultures... Experience a life in a fragrant cottage, feel the different Shangri La, and you can find poetry and distant places here. Don't want to leave when you come, but still want to come after you leave - the fragrant cottage.

Room was clean but wifi was down and we weren’t even informed until we asked about it at the reception desk. Room interior very pretty.
Response from Property: good morning! good afternoon! good night! Master Yang Jinlam of Xiangsheri greets you! People say that Shangri La is an endless book to read, and it is best to walk slowly, contemplate and appreciate. Some say that the Fragrant Cottage is a great gift for the journey, where you can place your creative ideas and build a series of bizarre dreams. From this moment on, the journey truly has a soul, watching the stars fade away on the large terrace, the dawn comes, enjoying a delicious breakfast, and a pleasant afternoon to meet interesting souls and collide with warm friendships. Welcome back to Shangri La and Xiangshe again.

Nice accommodation, nice and warm staffs ; picked up at the rail way station, then transported luggages to room. Nice breakfast and room (with floor heater).
Response from Property: Good morning! Good afternoon! Good night! Hello to the owner of Xiangshe Li, Yang Jinlam. Your sincere love has brought us great joy and gratitude!! I'm glad you slept soundly in Shangri La, it's great. Our inn is located in the ancient city, closest to the north gate, next to Sifang Street. Although in the ancient city, there are no noisy bars around, so the night is quiet. We have 7 room types for you to choose from, whether it's for business or travel, it's a great choice, and the floor heating is also very comfortable. And we offer free breakfast, free transportation, and a terrace overlooking the ancient city. On snowy days, you can play with snow and make snowmen without leaving the inn. Looking forward to seeing you again! Waiting for you! Wishing you and your family peace and happiness! Zazidler!

Good location and nice staff
Response from Property: Good morning! Good afternoon! Good night! The owner of the Fragrant Cottage, the landlady, is named Yang Jinlam. Yang Jinlam greets you!! Thank you for affirming me. The environment in Xiangshe is great, and the owner of Yangjin Ram is very nice. The ******* meaning of Yangjin Ram is Miaoyin Tiannu, representing the goddess of wisdom and art. When Yang Jinlam first opened the store, he was nervous, excited, and at a loss for what to do. He was afraid that he might not be able to do well in the fragrance house, worried about water, electricity, and poor network, and worried about the dissatisfaction of customers. In short, he was restless. Fortunately, the customers cared for and tolerated him. Now, he can talk and laugh freely, and his original intention remains the same. He has made the fragrance house the most warm homestay. Every time he sees the praise and recognition of the customers, he feels beautiful. I strive to make sure that there are no regrets in the fragrance house for his travels. Occasionally, a short chat, brief greetings during holidays, and festivals, every time I see these, I am deeply moved for a long time. It turns out that human hearts can really be exchanged

Response from Property: good morning! good afternoon! good night! Hello to the owner of Xiangshali, Yang Jinlam. Xiangshali is located next to the square of Sifang Street at the north gate of the Dukezong Ancient City in Shangri La. The Dukezong Ancient City is the best preserved and largest ******* residential complex in China, and was once the hub of the Tea Horse Ancient Road. It has a history of more than 1300 years. "Dukezong" means "White Stone City" in *******, symbolizing the city of moonlight. The main attractions include Guishan Park, Dafo Temple, the largest turning tube, Qingshiban Road, ******* style houses, Moonlight Square, White Pagoda, and Tea Horse Ancient Town Monument. From 7pm to 9pm in the evening, many tourists and ******* compatriots dance in Guozhuang, which is very hot. What a fuss! Guozhuang dance is not too difficult to learn, why not try joining it and experience it! Welcome back to Shangri La, back to the Fragrant Cottage.

The hotel is located within Dukezong old town. It has a balcony with beautiful view to see sunset. The room is big and clean, with adequate facilities. Staff are friendly and supportive. We booked a private 7-seat car to Daocheng Yading. The driver is skillful and friendly.
Highly recommend this hotel in Shangri-la city.
