Xishuangbanna Jinghong Jimu River View Hotel (Gaozhuang Xishuangjing Starlight Night Market)

Xishuangbanna Jinghong Jimu River View Hotel is amazing! Located along the riverside, it offers the perfect viewpoint for sunsets and evening views. You can see the bridge across the Mekong River and the buildings on the opposite shore, beautifully lit with colorful lights—a truly breathtaking sight. The hotel is also close to street food vendors and food/fruit shops just below the building. The night market is only a 10-15 minute walk away, making this location ideal. The facilities and services, including A/C, a tea kettle, hair dryer, swimming pool, airport pickup, breakfast, slippers (changed daily!), towels, washing machine (this surprised me!), toothbrush, toothpaste, tissue paper, and more, are excellent—better than other hotels I’ve stayed at. It’s essentially a smart hotel! There’s a Xiaodu AI (like Google Alexa or Siri) to help you manage room functions such as opening/closing curtains, turning lights on/off, and controlling music—it's so innovative! However, it currently only supports Mandarin. The bathroom features an automated toilet with self-flushing, a heated seat, and an automatic bidet. One thing to note is that there is no door or partition between the toilet/bathroom and the bedroom, so it’s an open design. If you’re sharing the room with friends or others you don’t know well, be mindful of this for privacy. The staff here are friendly and helpful, although their English is limited. They do their best to use translation tools, which is appreciated and works fine. Breakfast is served from 8:00 to 10:00, so if you want to enjoy it, an early wake-up is necessary, haha! The food is simple and leans more towards Chinese style rather than Western, with options like noodles, cakes, stir-fried vegetables, soy milk, fresh milk, and watermelon. Overall, I rate this hotel 10/10! The few minor points I mentioned are easy to overlook, and the price is affordable and reasonable. You won’t find another hotel like this anywhere else! Don’t hesitate to make this hotel a memorable part of your trip—you won’t regret it! (I made two bookings for this hotel—so don’t be surprised if you see this review twice!)

The hotel is quite new. Situated next to the river and a few minute walking to the starlight nite market. Plenty of restaurants around the hotel. Front desk is very friendly and approachable. Will I stay here again? YES!

Location is very good: rooms are quiet but close to the Night Market and to an extremely wide choice of restaurants and shops. The "River view" rooms, despite being on low floors (3rd and 4th), actually command a very nice view of the Mekong river, due to the elevated position of the building. Facilities are new and clean. Swimming pool is not very large but clean and suitable for a pleasant swim. Wi-Fi is fast and reliable. The hotel perfectly arranged pick-up from airport. Besides free airport pick-up, the manager can provide car-with-driver daily rent service at a reasonable price. He is friendly, willing to give information and tips. Breakfast has a quite limited choice, but for the price you cannot expect much more... As mentioned by some other users, the weight-lifting equipment in the gym is out of order. A small effort on maintenance would improve the service offered to guests. [正如其他的旅客所说，酒店的健身器材有些是坏的。 如果能维护一下健身器材，相信可以给旅客更好的住宿体验]

Very nice and modern new hotel. Big rooms with shower, bathtub, washing maschine and great amenities. Variety of breakfast options are offered and included in the room price. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Moreover, the location is just perfect. You are in walkable distance to the night market and surrounded by buzzing atmosphere.

Beautiful commendation.Nice staff. Close by night market

I am very impressed with the hotel. It is very clean and there’s daily room cleaning . It is also at a strategic location where the starlight night market is at around 10 minutes walking distance and there’s a lot of eateries that open til after midnight to satisfy our supper cravings. The amenities are very complete and they even have heating system on the floor and smart voice activated assistant that can help switch off and on the lights🥰 They even gave us a small gift 💝 Overall , it is a pleasant and comfortable stay. Will definitely come back to stay again if visiting Xishuangbanna 😄

It was far of my best stays in China so far! You get so much worth for your money. The rooms are super spacious and very clean! We had an amazing view over the river. We enjoyed swimming in the pool during the day which was also very clean. The breakfast is a Chinese breakfast which was also nice.

The room was very clean with modern decorations and style. The room is very spacious and comfortable. The staff offered good customer service and were polite and helpful. The room had both a bathtub and shower in it. The only thing the hotel needs to improve on is the hot water in the shower, the water temperature was a little warm, but not hot. Everything else in the hotel was very good and I highly recommend it.

We enjoyed our stay here, it was clean and relaxing and very conveniently located. It was easy to walk to the night market!
