Hotel Dengan Bar di Yunnan, China

The lady at the night reception was super nice. She had a great service attitude and was very friendly. I stayed here for two nights last time, and after traveling around, I came back to the same hotel. It was the same person who helped me with my luggage. The environment is clean and quiet. Definitely a five-star review!

I had a truly pleasant stay at this hotel in Lijiang. The host Fei is extremely kind, warm, and helpful. From the moment I arrived, he made me feel very welcome and was always ready to assist with any questions, recommendations, or requests. He even helped to carry and bring our luggage to the hotel, which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. His hospitality really made a big difference and added a personal touch to the stay. The room was very cozy, clean, and comfortable. Everything was well maintained and thoughtfully arranged, which made it easy to relax and feel at home. I slept very well during my stay and appreciated the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The location is also very convenient. It is not far from the North Gate of Lijiang Old Town, making it easy to explore the area, find food, and move around without any hassle. At the same time, the hotel is in a calm area away from the crowds. Another great point is that airport pickup service is available, which made arrival much easier and stress free. Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay in Lijiang. Great location, comfortable room, and an amazing host. Malaysian travelers, please come and stay at this hotel. You will not regret it. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers and would happily stay here again on my next visit.

The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to get anywhere. Before booking, I had some questions, and the front desk staff patiently and thoroughly answered them all, which led me to book without hesitation. They even arranged my stay according to my preferences and upgraded my room. Although the hotel is in a bustling commercial center, it was surprisingly quiet at night, allowing for a good night's sleep. The views from the hotel are fantastic; I could overlook landmarks like the 'Wine Glass' building and Kunming Old Street right from my room. The windows could also be partially opened for ventilation, which significantly enhanced our Kunming trip experience.

Beautiful views - the rooms are simple but great for a trip to the rice terraces. We had a problem with the restaurant food on the first night but the problem was promptly resolved by the manager which was much appreciated. The goat hotpot did not come with slice d meat for cooking as expected. Instead all meat was already in the pot (quantity not enough for 2 people as mainly fat and bones which I did not enjoy eating). However the manager offered to remedy this problem by presenting a plate of sliced meat. This show good attitude in resolving problems. Highly recommended.The following evening he made good recommendations for dinner and we enjoyed the food very much.

Tonight, I made a last-minute check-in at the 'Cuihu Hotel', designed by I.M. Pei. It was unplanned, but a delightful surprise. In my opinion, a hotel isn't a museum; its 'sense of history' should be elegant, not heavy, and its 'vintage feel' should be classic, not dated. Before arriving, I was very worried this 69-year-old hotel would feel stuffy and decayed. To my surprise, Cuihu Hotel strikes the perfect balance and shows great wisdom. For example, the public area ceilings are adorned with 24K gold leaf, and the murals feature maple wood relief carvings with gold accents – aesthetics that are certainly a product of their time [tears of joy emoji]. However, they've now added many art pieces to temper this 'bling' and enhance the elegance and scholarly vibe. Even the subtle classical jazz music and the light, delicate fragrance filling the air inject a fresh, youthful spirit into the overall ambiance. Yet, the common issues of older hotels persist: outdated facilities, bathtub design, and those unsightly large pillars… This leaves me feeling conflicted, both loving and hating it, and hesitant about whether I'd stay here again (especially with kids). What truly stood out was the check-in experience: the front desk gifted us fresh roses, a succulent potted plant, and a postcard as souvenirs. In the room, there was a handwritten card, red-billed gull biscuits, Yunnan small-bean coffee powder with a Moka pot. They even pre-arranged a bedtime dessert and a crib bumper. For welcome fruits, the housekeeping auntie knocked on our door with a basket, letting us choose our own! 😄 These interactions significantly elevated the stay, even adding a wonderful touch to my overall impression of this Yunnan trip. In summary, it has history but struggles with modernity; thankfully, the details, service, and quality are all excellent 👍. P.S. The room upgrade was successful, and my 'begging' for it went very smoothly.

This hotel by Dianchi Lake is pretty good all-around. The environment, of course, is fantastic. The open-plan lobby is very grand, and the jewelry sold in the shops reflects its upscale positioning. I even tried some Pu'er tea at the tea shop, and it was rich and fragrant. The public areas are huge. I heard there are peacocks somewhere, but I asked several staff members, and they all said they didn't know where they were, which was a bit funny. Even though I stayed for three nights, I still didn't get a chance to use the hot springs. Breakfast was quite varied, but I actually started feeling a bit of altitude sickness and couldn't eat much. The restaurant itself was a bit hard to find; I walked around for a long time on the first day trying to locate it. It would be great if the signs along the way were more detailed. It's about a 20-minute walk to Haigeng Dam by Dianchi Lake, or even 10-15 minutes if you walk quickly. The scenery along the way is beautiful, perfect for a stroll and to aid digestion.

This is a great hotel that's not only well-designed but also provides excellent service. The hotel offers a convenient buggy service from the lobby to all the rooms, and the concierge staff are very responsible and polite. The bedding is comfortable and clean. The bathroom design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also thoughtfully provides privacy. We were a party of three, so we requested an extra bed, which was already set up for us before we even arrived. The private hot spring pool was sanitized, making it comfortable and reassuring to use. We could even enjoy views of Dongfengyun directly from our room's hot spring – absolutely fantastic! My only minor suggestion would be to offer a wider variety of dining options. **Dongfengyun Characteristic Town Tickets and Sightseeing Car Tickets:** The hotel's sightseeing car offers direct pick-up and drop-off to the scenic area, which is very convenient. **5 Retouched Digital Photos for Travel Photography (advance booking required):** The photo quality was excellent, and the photographer was very professional 👍. The composition and pose guidance were spot-on. I loved them so much that I paid to purchase additional unedited photos.

The biggest surprise at Hilton Dali this time was employee Xiao Gu! When checking in, he proactively helped with luggage, patiently explained about the Erhai Lake view rooms and breakfast times, and thoughtfully reminded me about nearby taxi stands. When I needed an extra pillow for the room, he delivered it within minutes, always smiling and enthusiastic. His service was super professional! I have to give a big thumbs up to Xiao Gu and the hotel. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time!

It's like the hotel set up its home right in the park! Even in the winter of 2026 in Lijiang, walking along the lush green paths, with the leafy courtyards bathed in warm sunshine, gives you a refreshing feeling~ There are also three-month-old alpacas and miniature horses that come over for a cuddle, they're so soft you just can't resist petting them! Staying here is so healing and cozy, filling your winter vacation with pure happiness~ Kail made the check-in quick and also introduced many activities.

The biggest highlight of this trip was definitely this guesthouse! The location is unbeatable – tucked away in a quiet alley, offering peace and tranquility, yet just a pleasant 5-minute walk to the north gate of Shuhe, making it incredibly convenient for getting around by taxi. On the afternoon of my arrival, the sunlight streaming through the leaves into the glass house was absolutely breathtaking, truly a sight to behold. A white cat rubbed against me, and the guesthouse even puts peanuts on the outdoor tables, so if you're lucky, you might spot some sneaky squirrels. What I want to praise most are the staff. They added me on WeChat beforehand and recommended some great activities. Everyone seemed genuinely passionate about their work. They even gave me a tour of their meticulously cultivated herb garden, and the salads made with their freshly picked, home-grown vegetables truly lived up to their reputation. Since it's an old house, I didn't have high expectations for the room, but the bathroom was impressively clean, and the amenities were excellent. The only minor drawback is that the bathroom door doesn't seal perfectly, so after a long shower, a small puddle of water would form near the sink area. However, it didn't affect the bedroom area, and it was cleaned thoroughly every morning.
