Jacky is a very present and thoughtful host. He really helps us with any tasks or questions and gives many indications for nice hikes or market trips. The room was also very nice, with view on the rice fields and a terrace on top to see the sunset.

My stay was perfect. The hotel is in the Ancient Town, so you can really feel immersed in the Tibetan culture. The room was super clean and comfortable, it had bed heather, aswell as room heathers. The Owner was super friendly and gave me a ride to the bus station. Best experience ever.

Great location. The spot is really comfortable, there's nice places to hang out or sit and read a book. Rooms are really clean and beds are super comfy. The toilet is a squat toilet, but it's cleaned daily and separate from the shower.

The place is just amazing: not only the location is super central and convenient but the room was cozy and nice and most especially the hospitality was the best. We could learn more about the town of Shangrila and its authentic culture through the eyes of the owner who was genuine and helpful in every step of our journey. The hostel offers a restaurant service and the food tasted absolutely amazing, you must try it. Overall it was the best experience and if you are visiting Shangrila there isn’t a better place to stay than Yi’s hostel!

I loved having a single room in a hostel, play pool, talk to the friendly staff, there is a lot of space and a nice rooftop to take photos of the sunset. Easy to walk to the green lake to chill.

The guesthouse is located within walking distance from the old town. Staff was super friendly and answered all my questions. They even helped me organise a bus ride to the tiger leaping gorge (which was beautiful btw!) Beds are comfortable with curtains for privacy. Would highly recommend this hostel!

Great location with amazing views from the room. The owner is super nice and speaks English. The dinner and the breakfast were very good! There are parts of the house that looked abandoned but the rooms are very good. Views from the rooms and the roof are the best
