Xishuangbanna Yuejiang Hotel

We had a lovely trip thanks to the friendly and helpful staff of the Yuejiang hotel! They contacted us by WeChat after booking the rooms to organize the free airport pick up (very polite and friendly driver) and answer any questions on our side. The hotel is not located in the heart of Gaozhuang tourist area but still close enough to walk to it but you could also use the free shuttle from the hotel. We were happy with the location: the closer you get to the tourist area the more you hear the loud music from the Starlight Nigh**arket. Breakfast was mostly Chinese food but good enough choice to start your day well. The pool was clean and big but a bit chilly to hang around. Nice temperature though if you want to swim a few lanes for exercise. Close to the hotel are a couple of ebike rentals which we did on our last day and the kids loved it! I highly recommend this hotel!

The hotel is in a good location for the night market, compared to intercontinental, the pool was much nicer. But the hotel wasn’t the cleanest.

This hotel has a really pleasant a**osphere. The staff are very helpful and friendly. It is a short walk to the main restaurant and market streets. We didn't use the pool but it was fully open and has plenty of space to relax in the outdoors area. Overall the hotel is very good value for money.

The stay is comfy. The service is impeccable. The well-trained staff is very friendly, hospitable and dedicated to customer satisfaction.

Close to the Jinghong Nigh**arket, spacious and nice room.

We were in a double room facing the pool. It was very clean and, even though not very big, it felt spacious. The bedroom and bathroom were both very clean. We had a small balcony that was also very clean and well maintained. There is a clothes line for hanging any wet clothes or washing. The room has a mini fridge which is fantastic. They also include key toiletries. The wifi is good most of the time. The hotel has free self-service laundry. The outdoor pool is large and both the water and surfaces seem very clean. There are children playing in it most of the time. Around the pool are a few chairs and loungers but not nearly enough. There is space for more chairs definitely. The gym is small but has dumbbells from 2.5kg to 25kg and an adjustable bench. It also has 2 running machines and 2 bikes. It’s worth going there and turning the aircon on an hour before you want to work out. It would be useful if there was a couple of yoga mats as well. However, most reasonably priced hotels in the area don’t have anything so this was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast has the usual Chinese options of some fried dishes, steamed “bread”, noodles and then boiled or fried eggs, sliced bread, some cereal, fruit, decent coffee. It was simple but good. You can definitely get a nutritious and filling breakfast here. There is a small shop/bar at the lobby that sells a good range of beer and snacks (like instant noodles etc). The prices are decent (12rmb for a beerlao). There is no lunch or dinner at the hotel but you can order in easily using meituan or Elema. The location of the hotel is peaceful and quiet. It is at the end of a ***** of hotels in the Gaozhuang area (main tourist area). The hotel provides a free shuttle service to the main restaurant / night market / tourist area and back to the hotel. To get back to the hotel you need to call and say where you are then they’ll come get you. It is a walkable distance though and would take about 10-15 mins. There are shops and restaurants on the way. The staff were very accommodating and even lent us a fruit knife when we bought some mangos.

Good location. It's about a 10 min walk to the night markets and you will pass many restaurants along the way. However, if you don't feel like walking they have a free shuttle! The hotel is a little outdated, but the rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. They serve a Chinese buffet breakfast, which is OK. It has a big swimming pool, but you must wear a swimming cap/hat. They also offer free airport pick-up. Overall, I would say it's good value for money.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel as a solo traveler. Everyone went out of their way to help me. The breakfast is okay.

Very happy with this hotel! Good service, good spacious rooms, they have a little car that takes you to places around (night market and other places if it’s close). Would recommend!
