4-Star Hotels in Jinghong

I checked out this morning and wanted to write down my experience from the past few days. My friend and I booked this hotel first, based on a recommendation, and then planned our vacation. As soon as we booked, we were added to the hotel's butler service group. I was so excited to visit the hotel even before our trip began! Our excitement was high on the flight from Tianhe to Gasa. We laughed and chatted all the way. As soon as we landed, we received a message from the hotel's driver, a lovely lady, saying she was at the airport and to take our time. It was so warm and thoughtful. On the way, she introduced us to Xishuangbanna and helped us plan our itinerary, which kicked off our four-day, four-night adventure. On the day we arrived, the hotel upgraded our room for free (it had a balcony with views of the Lancang River and Liming Bridge). We also received complimentary afternoon tea and snacks from the hotel (sweet ᵔᴥᵔ). We then had a special rice noodle dish (individually packed and unique). Afterward, we booked the hotel-Gaozhuang shuttle to explore the Starlight Night Market, where we bought many souvenirs (cute and unique). We also arranged our day trips to the Botanical Garden and Dai Ethnic Garden for the next day. After our sightseeing, we booked the Gaozhuang-hotel shuttle for 10 PM. We were exhausted when we got back to the hotel, so we each ordered a drink made by the hotel and headed back to our rooms. (The hotel even offers laundry service, which is incredibly thoughtful and made our experience even better). Early the next morning, a car picked us up and took us to the assembly point for our day trip (Mengbala Grand Theater). We embarked on a day of connecting with nature, experiencing ethnic culture, and having a lot of fun. The 'Saoduoli' (Dai girls) were all beautiful, and the 'Maoduoli' (Dai boys) were very friendly. The most fun and amazing part of the day was the water-splashing activity at the Dai Ethnic Garden, where we received a basin full of blessings (my 'eyes were wide open' ᵔᴥᵔ). That day, the butler also helped me retrieve a package. My inner monologue was a song lyric: '…unparalleled beauty.' Day three was a small group hiking trip to Jinuo Mountain, which we booked through the hotel's car fleet. It was so much fun!!! After breakfast at the hotel, our guide picked us up and drove us directly to Jinuo Mountain for a 4-kilometer wilderness hike. We were awestruck by the rainforest, vegetation, and small creatures. All six of us tourists were kept entertained by our guide throughout the journey. We tasted sour ants, spotted a bamboo viper (I found it first ʕ*ᴗ*ʔ), rode a bamboo raft, ate banana hearts, took tourist photos, and enjoyed a unique and delicious lunch. The experience was amazing! (I woke up with sore muscles the next morning ʕ◉ᴥ◉ʔ). After the hike, we also tried the hotel's beauty photography service. The makeup artist, photographer, and retoucher were all excellent, very professional, incredibly good value for money, and extremely patient. We were practically pampered into embryos ʕᵔ㉨ᵔʔ. On day four, we took a taxi directly from the hotel to the Main Buddhist Temple to visit the Dai King's Royal Garden. Finally, we took a taxi to Wantai, where we tried local specialties like 'Chong Jiao' (smashed chicken feet) and 'Paoluoda' (sweet coconut milk drink). The portions were generous! After eating, we strolled around and bought some handmade Thai crafts, which were really nice ᵔᴥᵔ. We originally wanted to explore the northern part of Xishuangbanna (via ferrata, primitive forest park), but the hotel was so popular that they informed us it was fully booked. Although the hotel offers luggage storage, we hadn't planned ahead, so we stuck to our original plan of heading to Kunming. Finally, I want to especially thank the hotel for their thoughtful, comprehensive, patient, and energetic service. Thank you to the two staff members who helped us load our luggage into the car when we checked out. They took care of us attentively from start to finish. It's no wonder they're so popular! (If you have the money and time, it's worth coming back countless times!!!) Throughout our trip, although we felt some places were a bit commercialized, it also made the journey simpler and allowed us to experience sincerity and warmth. Oh, by the way, we originally booked for two nights, and then applied to extend our stay for another two nights, which was even cheaper than the original price (double happiness)!!! Thanks again to the hotel staff, the car fleet drivers, and the beauty photography studio staff for always responding to our needs and following through on everything. I wish you continued prosperity and hope to see you again. ❃ႣᄎႣ❃ Future guests, don't worry! Although the hotel is on a hill, the views are fantastic, and getting around is very convenient (if you're a larger group or staying longer, you can charter a car and get a discount ʕ•⊖•ʔ). If you have any reasonable requests, don't hesitate to ask the butler for help. I wish you a pleasant journey ʢᵕᴗᵕʡ.

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!

The hotel's ambiance is fantastic and the location is great, really close to the Starlight Night Market. It's surprisingly quiet despite being in a lively area. The decor is unique and beautiful, perfect for taking photos with my best friend. The rooms are spacious and all come with a bathtub. The hotel service is also very attentive, and the breakfast is delicious and plentiful. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Xishuangbanna!

The room was very clean and spacious, with good soundproofing. Overall, my stay was great. Upon arrival, I received a complimentary fruit platter. The front desk offers electric scooter rentals with extended range. The staff were all very welcoming. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit. I arrived in the early evening, and as soon as I walked in, the sunlight from the balcony was streaming onto the bed, with tree shadows dappling the room, which made a fantastic first impression. Housekeeping was prompt, and there was breakfast available, though I didn't have time to try it, so I can't comment on the specifics. The only minor issue was some paint wear on the faucet, which probably needs replacing. Otherwise, everything was excellent.

On the positive side, the hotel has quite a few recreational facilities, and the room amenities are decent and relatively new. On the negative side, the biggest problem is the excessive dampness in the room. It was uncomfortable to sleep in, and although the hotel changed the bedding, it didn't help much. This might be due to the humid air during the rainy season in Xishuangbanna, but two things puzzled me: 1) The front desk said no one else had reported this issue before. 2) I stayed at three hotels during this trip, and Zhucheng was the third. The other two were right next to Zhucheng, and their rooms didn't feel noticeably damp. Also, the hotel room didn't pay enough attention to some details. The sofa arrangement prevented the curtains from closing completely automatically; I had to manually close them. The refrigerator was also quite noisy, which affected my sleep.

Although Xi Shuang Ban Na UrCove claims they are a smoke-free hotel, from what I have seen this is not really true. I suggest People who are allergic to cigarette smoke or have health issues related to cigarette smoke definitely go somewhere else. I saw guests as well as hotel employees openly smoking in the front lobby of this hotel. Front desk clerks and supervisor saw this but not only said nothing to the offenders but when I complained about this, the front desk clerk ignored me and glared at me for complaining. Bedroom: very spacious and clean. beddings and sheets were very clean and comfortable. Toilet: was a very new style and with a temperature toilet seat Shower area: It was a disaster. The glass panel dividing the toilet and the shower area was poorly installed, so water from the shower area leaked everywhere. It was quite dangerous because the floor outside the shower was a smooth piece of floor tile. My wife almost slipped and fell down. We immediately told the front desk that night, and all they did was send someone to wipe up the water that's all. There was no follow-up after that. Breakfast: This has got to be the worst hotel I have ever been to regarding breakfast. The majority of the breakfast items were Chinese food which I have no complaints about, although I do not eat Chinese breakfast. The biggest problem was, when we went for breakfast after 9:15 am there were lots of emptied food containers and plates which was used to hold breakfast food items. Breakfast was supposed to end at 10:00 am. 9:15 am NO croissant, Not even a simple slice of bread which I can make toast with. I also checked the Chinese food items and lots of containers were emptied as well. I then went to ask a staff where I could at least get a piece of bread. Her answer was, there isn't anymore sliced bread and what you see is what you get. There was hardly anything to eat?!?!?! I was furious and I demanded to have a couple of pieces of sliced bread. In the end, kitchen staff Mr. Wang came to my rescue and cooked me and my wife each two fried eggs. On top of it, Mr. Wang went out to get me sliced bread from outside the hotel so that my wife will at least have something to eat for breakfast. On the second day of breakfast, there was no coffee after 9:15 am as the coffee machine went into cleaning mode for at least half an hour. The chief of Chef did end up helping me to get a cup of coffee but from what I can see, this hotel is NOT ready to receive international guests. Totally disappointed in the Urcove Xi Shuang Ban Na. Totally not the Hyatt standard at all. I really believe Hyatt management in Texas really should not take the risk of damaging their great brand by letting this hotel be branded with Hyatt's Name.  The way this Xi Shuang Ban Na Urcove is operating, they are worse than locally managed/owned hotels. 尽管西双版纳景洪告荘星光夜市逸扉酒店称他们是一家无烟酒店，但就我所见，事实并非如此。我建议对香烟过敏或对香烟烟雾有健康问题的人一定不能入住。我亲眼看到客人和酒店员工在这家酒店的大堂公开吸烟。前台工作人员和主管看到了这一幕，不但没有对违规者劝喻或警告，而当我对此提出投诉时，前台工作人员不答理我，还瞪了我一眼！！！ 评价酒店已下部门： 卧室：非常宽敞干净。床上用品和床单非常干净舒适。 厕所：非常新式，配有恒温马桶座 淋浴区：简直是一场灾难。分隔厕所和淋浴区的玻璃板安装不当，所以淋浴区的水到处漏水。这是非常危险的事，因为淋浴外的地板是一块光滑的地砖。我的妻子差点滑倒。我们当晚立即告诉前台，他们所做的只是派人擦干水而已。之后就没再跟进。 早餐：这是我住过最差的酒店。大部分早餐都是中餐，虽然我不吃中式早餐，但我也没有抱怨。最大的问题是，我们早上 9:15 之后去吃早餐，有很多空的食物容器和盘子，早餐盘很多是空的。早餐应该在 10:00 结束。9:15 已经没有羊角包，甚至连一片可以用来烤土司的面包都没有。我还检查了中餐食物，发现很多容器也被清空了。然后我去问工作人员，我可以在哪里找到一片面包。她的回答是，没有切片方包了，你看到的就只这些。没有其他的可以食！！！！我非常生气，重新要求几片切片面包。最后，厨房工作人员王先生给我们帮忙，他给我和我妻子每人煎了两个鸡蛋。王先生还从酒店外面帮我拿了切片面包，这样我和妻子至有点早餐可以食。第二天早餐时，早上 9:15 之后就没有咖啡了，因为咖啡机进行自动清洗，至少半个小时处于清洁模式。主厨最终帮我拿了一杯咖啡，但在我看来，这家酒店根本没有准备好接待国际旅客。 这次景洪告荘星光夜市逸扉酒店入住经验非常差。完全不符合凯悦的标准。我真的认为凯悦管理层不应该冒险让这家酒店打上凯悦的名字，从而损害他们的品牌形象。这家 西双版纳景洪告荘星光夜市逸扉酒店 的经营及管理模式，比当地管理/当地投资的酒店还远远不如。凯悦Hyatt 总公司真应该尽快管理好这家酒店免得影响Hyatt 品牌。

Facilities: The design is quite comprehensive, with everything you'd expect. The room is also quite large. There's a mini-fridge, but it's just for show and doesn't contain any drinks. They do provide a packet of dried fruit daily, which I appreciated. Cleanliness: The cleaning was a routine, perfunctory job – not very thorough. They just made the bed and emptied the trash. Environment: Located right by the river, the room was quite damp and had a strong musty smell. Also, getting a taxi was very difficult; I had to walk about 2 kilometers each time to find one. Service: There's an airport pick-up service, but no drop-off. They advertise river views, but not all rooms have them, so be sure to check when booking. We saw reviews from people with the same booking type as ours who said they had a river view, but ours didn't.

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.

This hotel is quite a landmark in Gaoshan, and the high-floor rooms offer great views, with the night scenery fully visible. The hotel's shuttle service is excellent, making travel hassle-free. Right downstairs is the Starlight Night Market, so dining and getting taxis are incredibly convenient. The breakfast has a wide variety of choices, the coffee machine has a full range of options, and you can pick your drinks freely. There's also a pool on the top floor for leisure and photos. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.
