Taiyanggong Boutique Inn

Second time we have stayed and everything was as perfect as last time  - this is an ideal place for a stay in Xishuangbanna. Very friendly and welcoming people.

Good hotel not far from the Night Market. room was clean and staff friendly.

The location itself comes with its drawbacks, its close to the night market but in a part of the city that is very noisy and crowded with narrow streets. Traffic is incredibly slow and dangerous. There are other hotels close to the night market in quieter areas. The service and cleanliness was good, though some stains in my sink were present during the stay. One day the very present smell of burning rubber or plastic came into my room though, not sure if it’s incidental or happens to the hotel often. Staff were friendly. And were reliable. Nothing too unique with the amenities provided. Water, towels, though a toilet with automated bidet was nice.

My room was clean and beautifully decorated, and the front desk lady added me to her Wechat in case I needed anything. There was a hassle several hours after check-in, late at night, when she needed a photo of my last entry stamp to China, which was several years ago, and she kept demanding "the other ones", and I tried to explain they only need the most recent stamp, not ALL of them. It took way too long for her to understand that I hadn't been outside of China since 2019, so it seems they aren't used to having foreign guests. During check-in, we used a translation app to communicate. The location is convenient, in the market but on a street that isn't quite as busy, so it isn't too loud at night, and there are many restaurants nearby. The swimming pool didn't have any water in it, so that should have been listed on the hotel's information instead of showing photos of a pool with water in it and then me being disappointed after seeing an empty pool upon arrival.

A bit noisy but great location

Pick-up Service from the railway station was very good.
