Hotels With Swimming Pools in Yunnan, China

I love this boutique hotel so much. - Perfect location in the old town and close to the Mala hotpot that I love. - Very close to Didi taxi drop off/pick up point so I can go to Jade dragon snow mountain conveniently including from Lijiang railway station. - Room is vey very clean and big. - Perfect WIFI provided. - Mattress and Blanket are so good which made me sleep very well. - Special thanks to Ms. Cassie. She give us the useful information, such as restaurant, travel check point, Jade dragon snow mountain, Lijiang old town. I appreciate her so much. She has wonderful service mind. I promise that I will back to this hotel again!!

At first it was a little confusing because the hotel’s lobby located at 6th floor. The english is not so good (as usual) but the communication can be done via translator. The front desk are very helpful and will try their best to communicate despite the language barrier. The room is clean, good view. I had my friend booking with no windows room and it’s actually decent too. They actually have windows just that it faced inside the building. Not bad and not as claustrophobic as i thought it would. It’s located along ninping street, although it’s felt like on the end side of the road. So you need to walk quite a bit yo the centre side of the road. The gym is very basic probably just 3 equipments at level 6. The laundry is also at level 6. In general i would recommend. I have no complaint for my one night stay. Love it. The photo attached are my room and the view from the windows.

I absolutely loved the hotel! It's incredibly beautiful and commuting was a breeze. We booked a day trip tour with a local agent, and it was so convenient for them to pick us up. Plus, booking a didi was easy since the hotel is just a 5-minute walk from the North Gate. Since we stayed for three days, they kindly offered pick-up or drop-off services. The staff were fantastic, so welcoming and attentive. They regularly checked in via wechat to make sure I was okay or if I needed anything. I really appreciated their excellent service! The only minor flaw was the toilet. I had hoped for a fully enclosed door. However, everything else was wonderful. I highly recommend this hotel to others! I don’t have many photos because I was busy taking videos, but trust me, the hotel is stunning, and the garden is absolutely breathtaking. Lastly, thank you for the warm hospitality. I felt so welcomed, and if I visit again, I will definitely choose this hotel every time!

I was skeptical about TeaHorse at first due to the lack of reviews but this turned out to be a wonderful stay! We stayed here overnight on our 2 day hike through the Tiger Leaping Gorge. We upgraded to the Deluxe Standard Room (for extra 50 CNY) since the room is newer and slightly bigger. The ensuite toilet was basic but very clean. The beds were also heated and the aircon could be used for heating and cooling. The guesthouse also runs a restaurant cooking homecooked meals and a cafe/bar boasting a beautiful view. We felt that the view from TeaHorse was better than the one at Halfway House, which seems to be the more popular resting spot amongst hikers. The view of stars from the cafe viewpoint at night is also amazing. The staff helped us book a return bus to Lijiang, which left from Tina’s guesthouse the next day. Tina’s was a 4h hike from TeaHorse and we boarded the bus back to Lijiang Old Town with no problem. Overall a lovely stay and would highly recommend this room as an overnight rest point for hikers.

After traveling to countless hotels around the world, I can confidently say this is the best hotel in the world. Ideal for families with young children, this place delivers an unparalleled level of hospitality that is truly second to none. If you’re searching for a stay in Shangri-La, stop looking—just book this now. We are completely blown away by the exceptional service; it’s almost unbelievable how a hotel can provide such outstanding attention to detail. The room is sleek and modern, featuring high-end amenities, and the million-dollar view is something you’ll never forget. The restaurant serves fantastic food, and, most impressively, the staff attends to every request within seconds. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the animal feeding and the chance for your kids to play with the animals. Watching their faces light up as they interact with them is priceless. You don’t even need to plan any activities during the day because this experience alone keeps them entertained and happy. The staff here is another highlight—they are able to communicate in English and are incredibly cheerful, always ready to help with a smile from the moment you enter and leave. The girls, in particular, are so warm and eager to serve, making every interaction feel personal and special. Truly, the level of service here is beyond words. This hotel deserves a solid 1000 stars.

This is a well priced option in the city. It is about a 20-minute walk from the main Kunming railway station, so for those arriving at Kunming airport late when the metro has stopped running, you can take the airport bus to the railway station and walk to the hotel. The hotel is also a short 5 min walk away from the nearest metro station Tangzixiang, which is a convenient interchange station. There are only a few food options near the hotel but a walk to the Tangzixiang area throws up more. No amenities like a pool etc - typical of an Ibis but for the price paid, no complaints. Did not tru their breakfast so cannot comment. Night front desk staff can be a little rushed despite being professional.

Room was pretty big and they provided more than enough bottled water for us. Loved that there were 2 full sized toilet rolls in the bathroom (very strange thing to be excited about but I noticed that many accommodations in Yunnan only provide a super small roll of toilet paper per room). However, cleanliness can be improved; there were brown stains in the bathroom floor. Also, the basin on the left had a clean stream from its tap while the other sink’s tap was slightly wonky (untamed water that’ll splash around) so we ended up using just one basin. Breakfast was a set meal - not sure how to feel about this given the room is more than SGD100/night. Western breakfast isn’t good, can skip. At this price point, I reckon there could be other accommodations with better breakfast offerings. Service was fantastic - the staff were always willing to assist in any way and greeted you warmly whenever you arrive/leave the hotel.

It such an honour to receive warm & great hospitality. Even though we only stayed only 1 night, they really helped us to fullfill our last minute itinerary. My last minute to Balagezong succeed with their help! This hotel also offered pick & sent us from or to train station! The owner also response super fast all my inquiries thru wechat. Really recommended to stay here especially winter time since they have floor heated & warmer inside their room!

We were a bit confused with the hotel name. It's called Wanderland Hotel. Thankfully the staff at South Ring Road metro station was very helpful. It was quite a distance for us to walk. Took us about 25mins as we had to drag our luggage. We enjoyed our 4 nights stay here very much. Staff was friendly and helped us with booking our 1st didi ride to Green Lake. We left our toothbrush charger at the airport hotel and the lady helped us contact the hotel and arranged the charger to be courier to us. Enjoyed the daily breakfast of mi xian and local breakfast items. Their flower tea is good too. No complaints on the hotel room. It was clean and didn't have cigarettes smell. The railway station is just behind this hotel. About 20mins walk or you can use didi. Very convenient. Only complaint was our room was facing the main road and one morning we were woken up by people talking on the street at wee hours. Will definitely stay here again when we come back.

Kunming has so much to offer, and I only wish we had more time to explore everything this vibrant city has in store. Our stay at this hotel was pleasant and convenient, making it a great base for our short trip. The hotel is tucked away in a back alley street, which gives it a quiet and somewhat hidden charm. Despite this, it’s conveniently located within walking distance from the metro station and Nanping Pedestrian Street, making it easy to get around and explore the city’s highlights. While the room is small, it’s cozy enough to be comfortable and provided everything we needed for a restful stay. It’s a great choice for those looking for a convenient and affordable place to stay while exploring Kunming. I’d love to come back and spend more time in Kunming to fully experience everything the city has to offer!

It was very close to the train station and very clean Hotel. Only one comment the hot water in the bathroom was weak.

Room was clean and tidy. Not too big, but still comfortable to stay in. There are 2 sides to the room, 1 bed nearer to the first part of the room near the lobby door (Aircon ventilation does not blow towards this direction) and 2 beds nearer to the bathroom side of the room. The room's windows were later discovered to be strangely left ajar when we started detecting stench of cigarette smoke coming in from these windows. Potential guests,do take note to check for any ajar windows when you check into the room and close them promptly if you cannot withstand cig smoke like us. The stench stayed around at the side of the room with no aircon vent. Hotel staff, pls also do remember to close the windows after servicing / cleaning the rooms.

The location of the hostel is quite good. It’s only a few minutes walk to the nearest metro and Cui Hu 翠湖. There are a few flights of stairs where there is no lift before you can reach the rooms.

This hotel is simply unique. first of all the decor is beautiful, traditional chinese with a modern twist. The staff are extremely attentive and always helpful. They helped with any queries very quickly, attended to our laundry requests very quickly and never fails to serve up an awesome breakfast. OMG the breakfast - beats any 5 star hotel hands down. the simplicity and ”home cooked” food is stunning. Then attention they put into it is outstanding. The rooms are very comfortable too - but because it is in a old building the walls are not too thick. I love the location. it is not in the central shopping and eating area but it is only about a 5 to 7 mins walk away. Around the hotel there is also plenty of good food. Highly recommended. I will be back.

My first hotel in Kunming, was conveniently located within walking distance of many popular landmarks and tourist attractions, as well as the metro. Late-night snacks are available nearby too. The hotel room was spacious, with two beds and a clean bathroom. However, despite booking a non-smoking room, there was a strong smell of cigarettes. The room had solid window covers with small porous holes instead of glass windows, which allowed smoke from neighbouring rooms to seep in if other guests were smoking. 这是一个让我满意的住所，价格合理，性价比很高。附近也有很多好吃的餐馆，生活很方便！

I love this boutique hotel so much. - Perfect location in the old town and close to the Mala hotpot that I love. - Very close to Didi taxi drop off/pick up point so I can go to Jade dragon snow mountain conveniently including from Lijiang railway station. - Room is vey very clean and big. - Perfect WIFI provided. - Mattress and Blanket are so good which made me sleep very well. - Special thanks to Ms. Cassie.

Location is inside the old town, just 2 mins walk from the entrance. Room is clean and comfortable. We were greeted by Xiao Bai whenever we return to the hotel.The host was extremely helpful to our needs and requests. She helped us to book and arrange for a tour to the Snow Mountain, booked Didi to the train station and even gave us some flower cakes when we checked out. Will surely recommend this hotel to my friends.

Finding this cozy hotel can be tricky.. as it involve winding stairs going down to the ancient city 😂 the room is spacious as well as the bathroom, equipped with AC to control the heat during cold nights. Hosts are helpful and attentive to our needs. We love the plants and flowers at the hotel patio, which became our location for photographs ✌🏾 very walkable to the ancient city, safe, and easy to find taxi if you head out towards the main road from the hotel.

The location and design of the hotel are perfect for those wanting to experience Lijiang Ancient Town. There’s a lovely courtyard where you can relax enjoying a view of the ancient town — I was lucky to be there during New Year’s and got to see fireworks from there! I contacted the owner a day before my arrival for baggage pickup, and he help carry my bags to the hotel. Didi rides are easy to book, but be prepared for a bit of walking — it’s recommended for those with good knees, as you’ll need to hike a little to comeback to the hotel when heading down to the town center. The owner welcomed us with tea while we waited to check in, provided a steam iron when we needed one, and the guesthouse also offers washing machines (though there’s no dryer). He was very responsive to every inquiry and made an effort to chat with us, even though we used a translator app to communicate. On our last day, he even gave us free tea and helped carry our luggage to the Didi waiting point. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lijiang!

I love the ancient style this hotel. Please photoshot outside this hotel for Your photo memories. Have warmer on their bed. Location to old town Lijiang very very close. Contact their staff at WeChat for DiDi drop off location. Interior bedroom also ancient style. Love it !

Our stay in Lijiang was very pleasant. The inn was easy to find following the location available on Trip.com. The statf were friendly and gave us good advice during our time in the city, and also invited us to have tea (for free) at any time. The room was big and comfortable, and it had AC and bed heating, which helped a lot with the cold. The inn was as beautiful as the pictures, and the view from the third floor was amazing! The night before our departure, they asked us what time we would leave and booked a tricycle to help us take our luggage to the old town gate, which was very helpful.

This hotel offers better service than any other five-star hotel. The staff is all friendly, and I can feel the lady in particular really being sincere about the guest, and she does everything first before I ask. She recognized the tour packages for me, who is not good at Chinese, and solved all the conveniences. Plus, she invited me to their dinner for me, who is traveling alone during the holidays. Thank you very much. (这家酒店的服务比其他任何一家五星级酒店都要好。 工作人员都很友好，我能感觉到这位女士特别真诚地对待客人，在我问之前，她先做一切。 她为我认出了中文不太好的旅游套餐，解决了所有的便利。 此外，她邀请我参加他们的晚餐，谁在假期独自旅行。 真的非常感谢。)

A small homestay located in the heart of the old town. There are enough shops and restaurants nearby. It's about a 10 minute walk to both the north gate and the south gate. Keep in mind if you have heavy luggage you would need to drag it around the cobblestone streets because no vehicle can reach the place. The service of the owner alone makes me rate this place 5/5 stars already. It didn't matter how many questions I asked, everytime he helped me out. If you are a solo traveller or don't speak any word of Mandarin then this is a great place to stay, the owner will make sure you don't get lost. While the service was perfect and couldn't be any better there are some negative things worth mentioning. First of all, the soundproofing is really bad. The room's door is full of holes and gaps so you can hear everything that is happening outside. Moreover, you better make sure you don't have any upstairs neighbours because you can hear everything what they do as well: moving around on the wooden floor, flushing the toilet, opening the tap, taking a shower. Second, talking about showers, the shower in the room takes quite some time to heat up (similar to most hotels in China) but the more annoying part is that its impossible to get the right temperature for the shower: its either way too hot or cold. Lastly, the curtains were full of disgusting stains and didn't block out all the light so I recommend just getting them replaced. All in all, this place has some positives and some negatives. Decide for yourself if you want to stay here. In my opinion, despite the negatives, I would definitely stay here again and recommend you to do the same.

This is my first time in Lijiang. Mr. Andy contact me days before we arriving from Kuala Lumpur to arrange for pick up at train station. But due to my WeChat aps error, we go to the hotel by DiDi and he picked us from the entrance and helped us with the bags as the old city not accessible direct by car. While we were checking in he made us tea, which was really nice. The hotel is very beautiful, just in the center of Lijiang Old Town. You can go out and stroll. The room and environment is beautiful, comfortable and clean and also all the essential are there. The whole staff of the hotel were really nice and always there for me for all the service that I need especially Mr. Andy. He taking care of us. He helped me reserving a trip to the snow mountain & Tiger Leaping Gorger. Mr. Andy led us to the meeting point in the morning. Very good of him. Mr. Andy arrange driver to send us to the train station on our last day in Lijiang. I highly recommended staying at this hotel and will never regret the experience. Will definitely choose here for my next visit to Lijiang To Mr. Andy, thank you so much for your help and kindness. Till we meet again

I had an amazing stay at Yutang Luxury Resort Hotel, located in the heart of Dali’s Gu Cheng. The location itself is a huge plus—nestled within the charming old town, it’s easy to take your time and explore the vibrant surroundings. The hotel serves a simple but delightful breakfast, and I found it to be just perfect for starting the day. It’s not overly extravagant, but it’s incredibly satisfying. One of the best things about the resort is its proximity to bars and local nightlife—just a short walk away, you can enjoy the lively atmosphere of Gu Cheng until late. The staff at Yutang were attentive and friendly, always ready to assist with any request. Their hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, this hotel is a great choice for anyone visiting Dali. It offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and warmth.

Just amazing. This doesn’t need a big review because the experience speaks for itself. I am an English traveller in China and I found this to be one of, if not the, most pleasant stay I have had on my own. The room is huge, more than enough for 2 people. The amenities are clean and changed daily. Tea is provided—great for fans of Yunnan hot drinks. But the really special part is the host: Joy and her family are wonderful people! Helpful. Kind. Attentive. And great fun to speak with and be around. I am very happy I chose to stay here. The Jin Bi Ya Yuan is THE place to stay in Dali. I’ll be coming again.

We booked a family room (at 4th floor) and stayed for 2 nights. Note that there’s no lift in the hotel. The staff was very helpful as he helped carry our luggages to our room. The room was spacious and clean and has all the necessities.The hotel location is quite close to the old town, walking distance only. We arrived at hotel quite early and the staff let us checked in earlier than the check-in time. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here!

The hotel is right on the beach, clean and has great service! Haha...If you live on the fourth floor, you have to climb the stairs by yourself. The sea breeze is very strong at night, hitting the windows and making noise, which will affect your sleep a little.

LOVE OUR STAY HERE! The staffs were helpful and we were gifted to many gifts. Door gifts for the kids which was really thoughtful and also parting gifts. We wished our stay was longer. My kids love the room so much especially the small outdoort bath, they called pool. Eveb after check out, they still asked if we have reached destonation safely. In Lijiang now and still thinking about the hotel. Thank you for such a memorable stay in Dali. Hope to stay there again!

Our experience at Pullman Dali was a mix of highs and lows, with some exceptional staff and several areas that fell short of expectations for an Accor hotel. The Good: We were fortunate to receive excellent service from Ms. Eleven and Mr. Herman, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Their kindness and attentiveness, especially when our child fell sick during the stay, were truly commendable. They provided all the assistance we needed, making a challenging situation much more manageable. Additionally, the café staff member, Mona, stood out for her patience and friendly attitude. The Not-So-Good: Unfortunately, the overall experience did not meet the standards we expect from an Accor hotel. Communication was a significant challenge, as many of the local staff struggled with English, making it difficult to get basic information or assistance. The hotel seems to cater primarily to local Chinese guests, which greatly influenced the atmosphere. The breakfast area was chaotic and crowded, and the variety and taste of the food left much to be desired. While Mona was polite and helpful, other staff displayed a dismissive and arrogant attitude. For instance, when we inquired about some of the local breakfast items, the response was abrupt and unwelcoming, as if they didn’t care whether we ate or not. Additionally, breakfast ended strictly at 10:30 AM. While I was still taking food from the buffet, the staff turned off the lights and removed the trays right in front of me without any warning. It felt extremely inconsiderate and left a poor impression. Other Observations: The location of the hotel is convenient, and the rooms are decent. However, the overall experience may be more suited to local Chinese guests rather than international travelers expecting global standards of service and hospitality. Final Thoughts: While there were shining moments thanks to a few outstanding staff members, the overall experience at Pullman Dali did not live up to the reputation of the Accor brand. If you are an international guest seeking a more service-oriented stay, you might want to consider other options.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay here! Our family of six occupied two rooms and felt right at home. The excellent location ensured quiet nights, and we all slept soundly. The top-notch service was impressive - fast, friendly, and attentive. The staff even prepared our bedrooms for rest and sleep in the evenings. Mealtimes were delightful, with delicious breakfast and tea breaks. We were also treated to nighttime desserts. To unwind, we relaxed with a soothing foot bath infused with rose petals and herbs. This place truly feels like home. We're so glad we chose to stay here! Many thanks to 雷卉，小杨 and team who made our stay so memorable! ❤️❤️❤️

The room looked great and was very comfortable. The location is near the ancient city. There are any places to eat nearby. The staff was very helpful. The tea they provide is also high quality. The only issue I have is with the TV. The box has a large selection of movies and TV series a la Netflix,however if you want to watch regular live TV , the box says that you have to pay. Note that the hotel is located in an alley off Yeyu Road and at first was hard to find.

The hotel is very beautiful. We chose a room with a view of the beautiful Erthai Lake. The room is very large and has all the amenities. In addition, the reception team provided excellent service, informing us about the pick-up from the train station. When we arrived, there was a shuttle to carry our luggage. All the services were impressive. If anyone is looking for a room with a beautiful view, I recommend this place. We liked it very much. I give 5 Stars 👍

We get free upgrade room from standard room to room that have bathtub & balcony. The location is quite far from old town street, around 30-40 minutes. But the view is very peaceful & nice. The hotel does not have an elevator, so you need to climb the stairs but you can ask the staff to help you to bring your luggages to your room. They also have a 2 cute cats in the lobby. The breakfast doest not have that much option especially for a muslim travellers. We just can eat egg & corn. Maybe the hotel can add sweet potato as well. But overall, the staff is very nice & helpful. Will recommend this hotel for those who love a place that is from city.
