Jinghong Hotels with Breakfast

This is the most comfortable hotel I've stayed at in Xishuangbanna. The environment is absolutely wonderful and super clean, and the bed is very comfy. The large pool on the first floor is great for swimming, and our room even had a balcony bathtub. The service was absolutely amazing, they almost carried me to bed! The front desk offers coffee and tea, and there's complimentary afternoon tea upon check-in. The breakfast in the morning has a fantastic variety. They also offer photography and laundry services. There's even another pool and a reading area on the 8th floor. Out of all the hotels I've ever stayed in, this is by far the best and most comfortable one.

This Mingyu Licheng Ademan Hotel in Banna was such a pleasant surprise! It's full of Southeast Asian charm, surrounded by lush rainforest greenery, and the pool light show creates an incredible atmosphere. The room was spacious and smart, with a Dyson hairdryer and Atelier Cologne toiletries, which really elevated the experience. The balcony offered a super relaxing view. The butler service was attentive, and they even offered pick-up and drop-off. The Dai-style rice noodles for breakfast were amazing. Absolutely fantastic value for money, definitely my top choice for accommodation in Banna!

something happened at this hotel that has never happened to me before. on the first night that i arrived i wanted to set down my luggage, use the bathroom quickly, then check out the surrounding night markets. i need to preface this by saying i’m a very experienced, decade-long bidet user. i book hotels specifically with smart toilets, and i’ve installed several bidets at home myself. let me just say this is the dumbest toilet i’ve ever seen in my life because the moment i stood up it started spraying me in the face. i was disgusted so i quickly moved over to the shower to cleanse myself. i figured maybe it’s a one off, and that i shouldn’t have to be afraid of a toilet. but the next time i tried to use it again, the moment i turned the bidet on it started spraying outside of the toilet bowl…all over the bathroom wall. i was once again disgusted so i cleaned the bathroom and showered twice on the night i arrived, and also did a load of laundry. i think whoever used the room before me set the bidet nozzle position so that it would spray outside of the bowl. my question is: 1) why would you do that? 2) to whoever designed this bidet/toilet, why would you allow someone to do that? i thought about moving hotels but i eventually got too lazy, plus the benefit of this hotel is that the location is fantastic. some of the most popular restaurants and cafes in the area are within a quick 5-10 minute walk. it’s such a lively neighborhood with everything you need at your fingertips. be mindful that cars cannot enter this area, as it’s all pedestrian streets. but there is a larger road maybe 2 minute walk away where it’s easy to call a car. the staff is always very helpful. for example on the night that i had to do laundry because of the crazy toilet, they helped me monitor the wash/dry cycle and all i had to do was pick up the clothes when they were done. aside from the poorly designed bathroom (aggressive toilet and sink faucet that sprays everywhere), the room is very clean, modern, and spacious. the breakfast is just okay, very simple and minimal options. at the moment there’s a lot of construction going on as well within the hotel, so on several mornings i was woken up by drilling at 9am. i think it’s overall a good value for your money, as the nightly rate is inexpensive. but be careful of their bathrooms.

I specifically chose this hotel near the airport, and the location is excellent. It's incredibly convenient for getting to and from the airport train station, so I never have to worry about catching early or late flights again. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, providing thorough service throughout my stay. The room was clean and tidy, offering exceptional value for money. Overall, my experience was perfect, and I highly recommend it!

I recently stayed at this brand-new hotel (opened in 2024), and it was such a nice experience. If you want a place with lots of extras, this is it. They have two pool tables, a small rooftop pool, and two gyms—one for yoga and Pilates with all the equipment, and another with treadmills, bikes, free weights, and even a Smith machine. There’s also a laundry room with washers, which was really handy. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices, but you’ll want to arrive early to get the best selection. The staff were all very friendly, but Fei Xiu (绯袖) on WeChat was especially helpful—she answered all my questions quickly and made everything easy. The location isn’t right on the riverbank near the Starlight Market, but it’s not far from tourist spots either. It’s actually in a good spot if you want a quieter stay while still being close enough to everything. If you’re looking for a modern, well-equipped hotel with great service, I’d definitely recommend this one!

The Naga Hotel, with its Thai-style architecture, provides exceptional butler service and thoughtful touches like complimentary airport pickup, making it perfect for photos. The rooms are spacious, equipped with projectors and balconies. It's just a 10-minute walk to the Starlight Night Market, and they offer free shuttle service to the Gaozhuang scenic area. Overall, it offers great value for money.

The hotel was excellent, exceeding my expectations this time around. The room was meticulously cleaned, even the corners were spotless, and there were no unpleasant odors. The hotel itself is beautiful and impressive, the mattress was just right in terms of firmness, and the soundproofing was good, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. Furthermore, the front desk check-in was efficient, and the service was polite and attentive, with prompt handling of any requests. A special thanks to Nola for her dedicated service. Overall, the comfort level was very high, and it's a strong contender in its price range. I highly recommend it and will definitely stay here again on my next visit.

During the Water Splashing Festival, the hotel was fully booked, but despite the large number of guests, the service was excellent. This time, I brought three family members over 70 years old to Xishuangbanna to experience the festival atmosphere. The hotel arranged three adjacent rooms on the same floor for easy care. They helped find and arrange delivery of a power bank we left behind at check-out – thank you so much! The breakfast restaurant actually opened at 7 am, which is perfect for our elderly friends who are early risers, and the selection was quite good. The laundry room is convenient for those traveling long distances. Free water was provided on the day of the Water Splashing Festival. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Housekeeping was also very prompt. The rooms were equipped with smart home technology. The location is also great; it's within walking distance of the Golden Pagoda and the Starlight Night Market. It's a standalone hotel, which is rare in Gaozhuang, so it's worth a try.

I booked 2 hotels in this area, for half of the week each. I had chosen them both due to their pools and beautiful looking rooms/facilities. The staff were incredibly helpful and responsive to my messages on WeChat. However, they admitted it was their first time having non-Chinese guests and there were various issues that they needed to improve. The tea ceremony left my parents confused, as there was no translation tool used, and very little explanation as to the session. In other situations, I have had tea ceremonies that involve explanation of how the tea is made, how it should be drunk, what sort of people drink this type of tea etc. (To overcome the disappointment of this, we were gifted a pack of the delicious tea however). We selected this hotel based on the pool facilities mostly and were very disappointed to arrive to dirt-filled pool water that had branches and other debris inside. The staff were very apologetic and explained the recent storms caught them unawares. However, little action was taken to clean the pools until I raised this matter. When we went to the second hotel of my choice, they had more pools, all of which were clean and full of water, even though the same storm would have hit them. The photo shoot was great, and the photographer was excellent. The rooms were comfortable and the seating area was nice. We did not use the sitting area within the pool section however, due to the dirty pool etc. The breakfast was only served to us on our first day, and then a buffet on the second day. For us, we personally preferred the buffet so that we could select our portion sizes ourselves. I think over time, the staff will become more confident with foreign guests and this resort will be greatly enjoyed.

I was lucky enough to find an available room when I checked in, and the lovely front desk staff upgraded me to a better room. I stayed in the Sunset King Room, which had a huge balcony and was super comfortable. I could see the night view, and in the evening, my boyfriend and I enjoyed some BBQ and drinks on the balcony while taking in the scenery – it was quite relaxing. The pool is very photogenic; it was just too hot in the afternoon, so I'd recommend going in the evening for photos. The cleaning staff were also very thorough and paid attention to details. Overall, it was a great stay, and I'll definitely come back next time. The only downside is that Xishuangbanna is genuinely scorching hot!
