This wonderful guesthouse is placed inside the Lijiang Old Town, so the location is perfectly central and also quiet beacuse the guesthouse stands at the end of a tiny street. To go outside the old town you have to walk about 5-10 min. and there you can catch DiDi (taxi) or a bus. The helpful service is, next to the property location, another strong point of this place. Everything can be done for you there: they will book a bus ticket for you if you don't know how or you simply don't want to due to language barriers; they will help you with your luggage when you arrive (beacuse cars are not allowed in the old town district); they will order a food to you when all nearby restaurants are closed due to late hour. Breakfast was also very good - you can choose local or western option.

The perfect place for a family trip. The place is as pretty as a classic Jiangnan garden, but it also has all the fancy facilities you need. Located in the centre of the old town, you can see the whole town without having to go out. The host is friendly and knows LiJiang well. Staying here is both a physical and psychological cure.

Great location, short distance from the old town entrance. Nice room and with great view from our balcony. We had a very pleasant stay. Great hospitality from the owners. Fang Jie, the lady owner, was very helpful and attentive. Do ask her for tour and food recommendations, you will not be disappointed.

First the staff very helpful and polite. She will pickup you outside the old town and show road to the guesthouse. She also help me to return jacket that i borrowed from Tour guide. Second price very cheap. This price i cannot get in my country. Third, all basic need you will get like soap, toothbrush, towel, mineral water and the most important thing is heater on your bed. Four, the location very close to Main road. Easy to reach when you ride a Didi. But i must say it all basic. Do not complain because you pay the guesthouse with basic price also. Just enjoy the stay!

Very friendly and helpful hotel operators with lots of tips for hiking routes. Both Chinese and English is spoken. The hotel is located 30 meters from the main shopping street but still absolutely quiet. Clean rooms. It was a very pleasant stay. Baisha as one of the 3 old towns of Lijiang is the ideal starting point for hikes into the Yulong Mountains and yet not far from Lijiangs historical old town.

We stayed at October Inn for four nights and it was just great! Let's start form the room: very big and comfortable, bathroom also quite big with everything you need. There is a nice terrace where you can enjoy a great view of the mountains and the city. Two beautiful courtyards where to sit and relax. It is located just 10 minutes from Lijiang ancient town, so a nice and short walk. The best part: the hosts are simply great. They came to pick us up at the train station when we arrived and took us back when we left, they helped us to organise some trips around and gave us a lot of suggestions and advice about what to do and how to move around. In the evening we used to spend time with them sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and talking. One evening they took us for a nice walk on the mountain just at the back of the Hostel. We really enjoyed our stay and, if we have the chance to go back to Lijiang, no doubt we will go back to October Inn.

Merry is a very responsive host that tries to fulfil our travel requirements. She helped to arrange value for money airport transfers and local tours (we went fo a day tour Shangri-la and visit most tourist spots along the way). It is such an experience staying in a traditional village guesthouse which is next to Zhongyi market with more than 100 shops and stalls. Near to bus stop to places of interest. We took Bus #101 straight to Yulong Snow Mountain resort for RMB15 one-way and pay our own entrance fee, etc. Very very convenient..

Amazing guesthouse, one of my favourite stays of all time. Great location and beautiful courtyard with spacious rooms, but what made it particularly special was the hospitality. From Zhang Xueping getting up early to prepare us breakfast every day, even with some extras for the hike, to Joye preparing all details of our hike to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, they went above and beyond to make our trip memorable and we would go back to this guesthouse just to see them again! The malamutes were the cherry on top!

Great feel at the hotel, like staying with a family. They are very welcoming and joye was a wonderful host. Loves a good chat in English. The rooms were traditional wooden decor rooms but with with very modern facilities! Perfectly located in the slightly quieter but only slightly 😆 part of the ancient town. Lots of shops and facilities around you, close to the South Gate around 7 minutes walk. Masjid nearby and enough halal options
