3-Star Hotels in Yunnan, China

The hotel is conveniently located in the northern portion of LiJiang ancient town, easy access to the village within a few mins walk as well as the observation viewpoint high located above the town for a panoramic view of the whole village! The service is impeccable, the hotel staff will help to cart your luggages from the nearest drop off point to the hotel as it is located within the village that is not accessible by car! The location is quiet, cozy, comfortable, and with helpful staff that are ready at your request! I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting this lovely ancient town!

Songzhuju is one of the nicest homestay I've stayed in. 1. Butler Ah Fei and all staff are very welcoming and friendly. Ah Fei contacted me in advance to arrange pick up and itinerary. He's also the go-to guy for purchase of authentic tea and local produce. 2. Superior location The homestay is situated about 100m from north gate. Considered easy to find but I would still recommend the pick up service as the town is such a maze. It takes around 30mins by car from Lijiang Railway to the ancient town. Restaurants, cafes and shops are everywhere. 3. Spacious and cosy room Room was clean, full amenities like bathrobe, slippers, kettle, shampoo, conditioner etc all provided There are endless options of homestays to choose from but Songzhuju stands out for being so homely and such kind of personal service is really rare. After 3 days of stay, i cannot pinpoint a single negative aspect at all. Would return for sure and highly recommend to all travellers! . Bed and pillows quite comfortable. Breakfast provided from 8am. Laundry room available.

Highly recommended hotel with very caring staff. I had an excellent stay at this hotel. Everything was perfect, including the location, cleanliness, service, and facilities. The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful. She kindly showed me the way to the famous Starlight Market, which is very near the hotel, making it very easy to visit. What impressed me most was the staff’s honesty and support. I forgot my facewash, which I had brought from my country, and the hotel staff helped send it to me by parcel. I really appreciated this thoughtful help. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I strongly recommend this hotel.

I had a wonderful experience staying here. The room was exceptionally clean, and the daily cleaning service kept everything spotless throughout my stay. All of the amenities and furnishings in the room were in excellent condition and worked perfectly.What truly set this stay apart was the incredible staff. They went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and even assisted me with planning my itinerary. I highly appreciate their hospitality and would absolutely stay here again!

The staff here are incredibly welcoming and personable! We stayed for three days and two nights, and on our second day, we met some friends from the US. We all chatted together about how enthusiastic the guesthouse staff were, and how amazing the breakfast and afternoon tea spreads were! You can see the snow-capped mountains from both the rooms and the common areas! It's hard to believe this price includes so much – excellent value for money! I can totally understand why so many foreigners choose to stay here! During our three-day stay, we met people from Thailand, the US, and Russia. Usually, guesthouses don't include lunch or dinner, but during one of our afternoon tea sessions, we asked the staff, and they mentioned that if we needed it, we could just let them know in advance. It's a shame it rained during our visit; otherwise, the scenery would have been even more stunning! Due to the weather, we also asked the staff for advice on some of our activities. When we ran into issues buying tickets for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, they proactively offered to help us sort it out. If you're a social butterfly, this place is highly recommended! You can strike up conversations during afternoon tea. At first, the staff seemed a bit reserved, and honestly, so were we, haha. From their perspective, they probably weren't sure if guests wanted to chat. So, if you're looking to connect, feel free to be a bit more proactive – we certainly got to know them better over afternoon tea!

The location is very convenient. The only downside is that it's in an alley, so it's hard for cars to get directly to the entrance. You have to walk about 100 meters to the main road to catch a taxi, but that's not a big deal. The elevators are fast, and the views are great! The windows are large, and the room itself is very spacious. The seating in front of the bed is also very comfortable. The only downsides are that the bathroom is small and there's no counter space next to the sink. On a positive note, the guy at the front desk was very handsome, nice, and enthusiastic!

I first heard about this place on Instagram and thought it was so beautiful. Its incredible structure is just as gorgeous when you see it in person. The staff were very accommodating and attentive. It was so cool because they had a machine that translates different languages depending on what you speak. This was the first time I’d ever seen anything like it and found it very helpful as I don’t speak Mandarin. Breakfast isn’t included but you can purchase their set meals for 37 yuan and have it while looking out at the beautiful courtyard. If you need train station transfer, you can easily ask for it for 80 yuan per way which made my check in and check out process smooth. They also allow you to try on their cultural costumes for free. If you need hair, makeup and photography services than it’s 499 yuan. As a solo traveler, I decided to try it out. They were very nice, however I definitely struggled with the very white makeup since I myself am very tanned. In their defense they did their best with trying to give me something darker and in the makeup room it seemed fine. But with the different lighting outside and the camera flash, when I got my pictures back I basically had a ghost face 😞 The foundation also wasn’t applied to my neck and arms, so it was very apparent. I’ve asked the photographer to help standardize my skin so hopefully that helps whenever it’s done. You receive a total of 9 retouches photos as part of the package. However, if you prefer to do your own makeup or are traveling with others then they can take pictures for you instead. The place is very convenient for finding restaurants and if you’re primary goal is the visit the old town. It’s very close by, so I was able to explore easily and then return to the hotel for breaks when needed. Lastly, you can use their laundry machines and get laundry pellets for free. Ideally this is great. But I will say the drying part is dreadful. The instructions say to do the 2/3 rule. However, even when I followed and put a small batch of clothes in it never dried. I tried once for 1.5 hours, then again for another hour, and still nothing. That was probably the only real part that was frustrating.

The overall exceeded expectations, and the staff service was intimate and meticulous. The room is intelligently designed in the whole house, full of technology, sufficient parking spaces in the parking lot, breakfast tastes good, full stay experience, highly recommended!

When I first booked this hotel, I thought we would be staying in a quiet rural area but I was completely wrong! Right in front of the hotel is one of Kunming’s busiest and most vibrant night markets, making the location absolutely fantastic. As for the hotel itself, everything was excellent. The reception staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with anything we needed. Their hospitality truly made our stay even more enjoyable. We stayed in a very comfortable suite that featured two king-size beds, a projector with a large screen, a sofa, and plenty of space to relax. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Overall, I have nothing to complain about. This was a wonderful stay, we stayed there for 11 days comfortably and if I return to Kunming in the future, I would definitely book this hotel again. Highly recommended!

Hygiene: Very clean. The bed, floor, and bathroom were spotless, and the room had no strange odors. The bathroom even has a fan/heater, so it's not cold, and there's plenty of hot water. Facilities: It has a shower, a smart toilet, and a projector (I didn't use it during my stay, so I'm not sure how good it is). There's also a kettle to boil hot water (useful if you're going to the snow mountains, though there's free hot water there too). The hairdryer works well, and the bath towels and regular towels are disposable, which is great. Environment: You can see the snow-capped mountains from the rooftop, and there are many flowers – wow, the environment is lovely. There's also a balcony on the middle floor, perfect for enjoying a drink on a windless and rainless evening. Service: After booking, a butler will call in advance to confirm details and provide some important information, which is excellent. They even helped with my luggage. Yes, very good and enthusiastic. Great service.
