Xishuangbanna Jinghong Liuguo Jiangju Hotel (Gaozhuang Xishuangjing Star Night Market)

It's hard to tell from the website, but this is an office building for some of it, but seeming floors 5 and up are independent hotels, one per floor, although they seem to share a common laundry facility on floor 5 which is also where the amazing pool is. With the pool, there are no changing facilities there, so you have to have flip flops and a big towel to go back to the room on floor 16, or get your clothes wet. The room itself was pretty good, the balcony was nice and had good views, although it wasn't as clean as I'd have liked - the slippers didn't look like they are sterilised between uses, so I wore my socks around the room and they were filthy when I took them off. Definitely wouldn't have wanted to put them into my shoes! The biggest disappointment with the room is that they don't provide real towels, only single use disposable towels, which aren't quite sufficient to get dry, and only one big and one small per person. The shower door also wasn't sealed at the bottom so when I went to the toilet later, I discovered a massive puddle that soaked my sock, and obviously I had no spare towel to dry my feet. Also, it made going to the swimming pool really inconvenient. All the other guests at the pool had normal hotel style bath towels, so it seems this is the only hotel that doesn't bother with them... Finally, it's hard to get to from the main road, you have to pull your luggage 600m from the bus stop, and if you get a taxi, the area around here is really congested so they take a long time to come (over 10 minutes for Didi).

Great location, lovely room, and a stunning view but unfortunately cannot even provide real towels.

Location was just outside the night market. Service was excellent, the staff really accommodated me in finding local ethnic villages to visit and were extremely helpful in writing these down for me as I am not a native speaker. Hotel was very clean, washing machine on the balcony and places to hang your washing, large room. Good air con. Highly recommend staying.

Just so so
