Romantic Hotels in Yunnan, China

This was my first time staying at a smart hotel, and it was quite an experience! The location is easy to find, right on Guangfu Road. As soon as you step out of the elevator, the entrance feels more like a home than a cold, impersonal big hotel. The front desk lady was incredibly enthusiastic and gave a very detailed introduction, which almost made me feel a bit embarrassed, haha. The room itself was quite spacious. The lighting and curtains could all be controlled by a remote, giving it a nice techy feel. As soon as I walked in, I couldn't help but press all sorts of buttons – it's actually really convenient, especially when you're too lazy to get up and turn off the lights at night, it saves so much hassle! The bed was soft, and the pillows were good. The only thing was the air conditioning had a pretty strong draft; as someone who gets cold easily, I just barely managed to turn it down to a low setting. However, the soundproofing was excellent; it was really quiet outside. The bathroom had a wet/dry separation, and they provided toiletries (not those super cheap tiny toothpastes and small towels). The Wi-Fi was strong, no buffering when watching shows.

The room I booked has an amazing view of jade dragon snow mountain. We could see the 日照金山 directly from our room and could see there are photographers at the open area downstairs taking photos also. Room was clean and comfortable, spacious enough for us to lay out our 2 luggages. Easy access to ancient city but will need to walk uphill when coming back to the hotel. Service was great, the hotel guy gave us instructions on how to get to the hotel and carried our luggage to the hotel and also carried it to our Didi ride hailing spot when we left. He was also super responsive on wechat. We could also leave our luggage overnight when we went to tiger leaping gorge.

We stayed at this hotel in Xishuangbanna for four nights. Our group of four families booked five rooms, and everyone was very satisfied. From the initial airport pick-up to our departure, the hotel's service was excellent. Every afternoon, they even offered complimentary white fungus soup and mung bean soup. My only regret is that the weather wasn't warm enough for the kids to enjoy the swimming pool! Everything else was wonderful. The weather in Xishuangbanna was also quite nice, making for a pleasant experience overall these past few days. It's truly an exotic city! However, the shuttle buses at each attraction were quite expensive! Some of the sights really weren't worth it!

The hotel's amenities completely exceeded my expectations. The indoor swimming pool had crystal-clear water and a comfortable environment, perfect for a relaxing swim. The outdoor hot spring was truly a hidden gem; soaking in the warm water melted away all the travel fatigue. Plus, you can feed seagulls in the park right across the street! The hotel scored full marks in terms of views, cleanliness, service, and facilities. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Kunming, and I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip there!

A hidden gem of a hotel by Dianchi Lake! The rooms are spacious and spotless, the bedding is comfortable, and the breakfast is astonishingly rich – the cured ham pastries are a must-try. The service is attentive and thoughtful, with efficient concierge and warm housekeeping. It's within walking distance to Dianchi Lake, and the garden-style setting is tranquil and delightful. A five-star experience, truly living up to its reputation! A heavenly hotel by Dianchi Lake! The location is absolutely perfect, with stunning lake views right outside the window, and lush garden greenery. The room facilities are complete, clean, and odor-free, and the service is warm and professional. The dining experience is fantastic, making it ideal for both leisure and business travel. My top choice for a stay in Kunming!

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank the owner for the wonderful BBQ Doufu gathering they organized for all the guests. It was such a thoughtful and kind gesture, and it truly made our stay even more memorable. The effort they put into bringing everyone together, preparing the delicious food, and creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere did not go unnoticed. It was a joy to meet the other guests, share stories, and enjoy the fantastic BBQ Doufu in such a beautiful setting. Their hospitality and attention to detail made the evening truly special. This homestay is not just a place to stay—it’s an experience filled with warmth, care, and a sense of community. We are so grateful for the memories we’ve made here, and the BBQ gathering was the perfect highlight of our time. I will definitely recommend this homestay to others and hope to visit again in the future. Tan Wee Liang

This is a very nice hotel, great location, good rooms and excellent, helpful staff. But the hotel gets bad marks in two areas. First, the food was generally very good but the Western breakfast buffet choices were nearly always cold. I tried three days in a row to get poached eggs that were not hard boiled. On the third day I got what I wanted but even then the eggs were stone cold. The second issue was the the lack of necessary security staff. The lobby bar was nice and had a young woman playing guitar in the evenings but on our second evening 4 drunks were drinking, shouting and smoking and refused to stop when the hotel staff intervened. After this things escalated and instead of having hotel security throw them out the drunks started harassing us and it got ugly so we left for our room. The hotel called our room to apologize but it was not equipped to deal with this situation and needs to have better control over their public areas. A lesson to be learned. I will be sending a separate letter to Accor management giving full details of this unfortunate event.

I arranged airport pickup with the hotel in advance, and the driver was quickly contacted after I landed. They even had bottled water in the car – very thoughtful! My first impression of the room upon arrival was its cleanliness; the table was spotless, and even the windowsill was dust-free. During my three-night stay, the cleaning was prompt every day, and the towels were replaced daily. The location was very close to the heart of the ancient city; I didn't need to take a taxi to visit the Mu Palace during the day – it was just a 10-15 minute walk. One evening when I returned late, the staff at the entrance even reminded me to watch my step – a very thoughtful touch.

The hotel facilities are complete, featuring smart toilets and a projection TV. The bathroom has a wet and dry separation, and the room itself is spacious with comfortable bedding. Anything you need can be delivered right to your room by the staff. The hotel's Dian Xiang restaurant offers many Yunnan specialty dishes, including a hotpot with a central fire pit. Breakfast is also quite rich, and you can enjoy lake views and see the 'Golden Mountain in the Morning Sun' (a scenic phenomenon). Bella provided excellent service.

The staff here were quite enthusiastic. They proactively helped clean the pool and manage the water, and the water temperature was adjustable. They were also very quick to respond on WeChat and even offered to bring takeout from the front desk to my room. However, there are a few areas that need improvement. First, due to the environment, there were a lot of mosquitoes. The mosquito coils weren't very effective, and I ended up with over ten bites after just two nights. Second, there might be some issues with the facilities. On my first night, the power went out in the middle of the night. This area is quite remote and there are no lights, which was really scary. Also, the smart toilet kept leaking without power, so I had to turn off the water valve. The door hinges made a lot of noise. The automatic night light was too sensitive and would turn on instantly with the slightest movement. Third, the staff might not have been very attentive; they misidentified me three times in a row (gender and last name). Despite these issues, it is indeed a natural sulfur hot spring, and I felt very relaxed after soaking. For that reason, I would still recommend it, but next time I'll choose a season with fewer mosquitoes.
