"We stayed at the Intercontinental hotel for two nights. The hotel grounds are very impressive and the staff is highly trained and speak very good English. We didn't use any of the facilities, but we did enjoy the great breakfast. The hotel is located on the edge of Lijiang's old town. So while it's quite touristy, it's not as crowded as the centeral area. So why only 4 stars? Here's the thing, we asked the hotel for a large taxi, fitting for four people and four large suitcases. The destination was Shaxi, about a 2 hours drive. They wanted 1,600 RMB for the trip. Why? Dunno. Because it's an expensive hotel, maybe. But I'd expect a hotel with Chinese speaking locals to help us get the best deal possible, not rip us off. How do I know it was a rip off? I texted a random driver with a van on wechat and got the same ride for 700 Yuan. That was also way too steep (the hotel owner in Shaxi explained it should cost 400-500). The experience left a bad taste on my mouth. I'd recommend staying at a cheaper, less 'luxurious' hotel, where you're not just a walking wallet to them."

"Great value! Modern fully equipped room, wonderful staff. Their gym only has cardio equipment though, it could use a few weights. My Apple Maps went haywire and took me somewhere a few kilometers away. Be sure to download Chinese Didi"

"Check-in experience was great- staff was super friendly helping us get around the expansive property and even gave us a drink coupon. Breakfast options was less impressive, however- esp. at their price point."

"Beautifully designed hotel with super comfotable beds. A limited western menu is available for dinner, but there is a great western selection for breakfast on offer. The pool is huge. Very helpful staff with many speaking perfect English, if that's your language. Would definitely recommend"

"Great location which is next to Spring City 66！There are many choices for restaurants and shopping. The room is quite clean and well organized. The staff is very friendly. Very appreciated for the welcome complimentary fresh fruit offered by the hotel. "

"Clean room excellent staff"
