The Linden Centre

We had a great stay at the Linden. The building was beautiful, the rooms were very comfortable, and everyone we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. They were great about answering questions and giving advice. They offered us a great walking tour of the market and town, and we learned a lot about the two Linden Centre locations. I also really appreciated that when I came back to my room in the evenings the heat and lamps were always on so I had a cozy place to rest right away. A great home base to explore Xizhou, and Dali as long as you don't mind a bit of a didi ride.

Charming hotel

It's a great location. We loved the old architecture of the hotel. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel!

A gem of a hotel!! Comfortable bed and nice simple breakfast. Staff was great! Also a great playroom for our 3year old. Sad the market tour was not happening in the summer as we heard that is not to miss.. but we got a nice architectural tour instead! So happy we got to spend 2 nights here- will happily come back and excited to check out the other locations when we have a chance. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our short stay in the Linden Centre. Great location in the middle of rice field at the outer edge of the ancient village Xizhou. The staff did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. As the daily Center tour wasn’t available in English, the owner Brian jumped in and gave us a 20 minute introduction. We can highly recommend this place if you want to learn about the culture and be close to the beautiful nature at Erhai lake.

I almost love everything about it. Especially the outdoor patio where you can overlook the rice fields. Food was amazing too and the staff are wonderful. One tiny comment about the shower head: it is fixed and the water is always hot, regardless whichever direction you turn. If this can be fixed, I'd give 100!
