Pu'er Hotels with balcony

The taxi driver told me this is the best and most expensive hotel in Pu'er. And it truly is! The service is incredibly meticulous and impeccable! Every single staff member is so enthusiastic. For example, on the day I was checking out, I went to have lunch at around 1:30 PM. Since I had a very rich breakfast at 10 AM, I just wanted something light for lunch. But then, the auntie at the restaurant saw I only ordered a bowl of rice in soup and actually apologized, saying, ”Oh dear, there's not much left to eat, I'm so sorry. Would you like me to stir-fry two dishes for you?” I repeatedly declined, as it wasn't their fault; it was my choice to come at a time when they were almost closing. This clearly shows how excellent the service really is! The hotel rooms are spacious, and they provide daily fruit, complimentary coffee, water, and tea. Breakfast is very extensive with plenty of choices. Lunch is actually quite similar to breakfast; I haven't tried dinner so I wouldn't know. I'm already looking forward to staying here again on my next trip to Pu'er!

Having seen many reviews about the poor hygiene, inadequate service, and lack of facilities at guesthouses in Jingmai Mountain, I had already lowered my expectations. However, the actual experience exceeded my expectations. They had all the disposable toiletries that hotels usually provide. The owners were incredibly kind, cooking free rice noodles for everyone every morning and inviting guests for tea. In the evenings, they would knock on the door and bring freshly grilled pork belly – it smelled amazing and was incredibly delicious! The guesthouse's location was also fantastic; you could see the sea of ​​clouds right from the window, and it was very quiet at night. It was truly excellent value for money. The owners also sell tea, and I bought some to bring back as gifts for my family before leaving – the prices were very reasonable. Superb!

This is the first time we came to Pu’Er and we feel very lucky to have booked this accommodation. We As soon as we entered the property we were welcomed and invites to tea by our wonderful hosts. Even though we cannot speak much Chinese, our hosts showed imense patience and understanding. They offered us advice for travelling, shared different types of tea with us and we received a lot of smiles 😀 The room was beautiful with a lot of wooden elements, large balcony and the spacious bed had the perfect hardness to have a proper good night sleep. It was also very clean, no mosquitos and no bad smells 🙌🏼 The location is also great. It is a quiet and clean area, with a beautiful coffee place by the lake and restaurant near by. Also a small convenience store. We hope to come again here im the future. Thank you again to our lovely hosts 🙏🏼

1. Basic room type, no privacy, the window is on the adjacent balcony. It's unbearable to stay in the room unless you draw the curtains. To protect privacy, you have to accept the room having no window. 2. Hotel prices fluctuate wildly. We paid the price of a balcony room for a basic room, and were very unhappy. 3. Don't have high expectations for the hotel's complimentary lunch and dinner. We ate out ourselves, and the food was terrible—very little food, and the dishes weren't clean. 4. The hotel was very crowded. When we checked in, there was a meeting and a wedding banquet. The laundry room was full and unusable, and the parking lot was full; we circled around three times before we could find a parking spot.

The environment was very comfortable and relaxing. Beautiful view whwre you can see some of the sea of clouds. They give you disposable coverings for you to put on top of the fresh pillow bedding and mattress for extra hygiene which is a nice touch I haven't seen before. Bathroom is very clean, though there are only two toilets and two showers and two sinks, so do note that for busy season, but it wasn't an issue at all during my stay. They provided breakfast too, fresh milk the boss heated for me when I got up, and red sugar glutinous rice cakes wrapped in banana leaves (babas), and it was fun to get ready for the day with new friends on the balcony overlooking the village. I think the environment is very good for meeting new friends and other solo travelers- I arrived at the hostel randomly at the same time as three other girls, and we explored Manghong togetjer on the boss's recommendations for itinerary and sightseeing. And the next day the boss dropped us off at a tea roasting experience, and just as we were heading to Nuogan another girl from the hostel finished her tea roasting session, so we all went to Nuogan togetjer to play. The boss even helped load my luggage onto the shuttle bus so that it could pick me up at a sightseeing spot further down the mountain!

The luckiest decision on my trip to Wengji Ancient Village in Jingmai Mountain was choosing Guesthouse No. 69. This guesthouse, run by Brother Ni, didn't rely on flashy advertising, but its thoughtful details made every guest feel a warmth that exceeded expectations, becoming the most precious memory of the entire trip. The guesthouse's location is prime, situated in the heart of the ancient village, surrounded by cafes and specialty restaurants. The popular Beigui Coffee Shop is diagonally opposite, so whether you're looking for a cup of coffee in the morning or a delicious meal in the evening, you don't have to go far. Even more surprisingly, the room had its own small balcony, comfortable and cozy, so I decided to extend my stay. The room facilities were new, spacious and bright, the bedding was soft and comfortable against the skin, and the pillows were especially good. Combined with the tranquility of the ancient village at night, it ensured a good night's sleep. A smart toilet and user-friendly shower facilities were all provided, and toiletries and other daily necessities were exceptionally complete, dispelling all my concerns about accommodation in the ancient village, making my stay comfortable. The owner's enthusiasm and his wife's thoughtfulness were also the most touching aspects of this trip. They were like long-lost friends, sharing travel tips for the ancient village, inviting us to sample their homemade Pu'er tea, and chatting warmly and sincerely. The guesthouse breakfast was a delightful surprise: flavorful rice noodles with plenty of ingredients, sweet corn, eggs from local free-range chickens, and refreshing grapes 🍇😋😋😋. The guesthouse also offers ethnic costume rental services, with exclusive discounts for guests. Wearing Bulang ethnic clothing and taking photos on the ancient village's cobblestone streets and beside old banyan trees instantly immerses you in the local atmosphere. The owner even took a break from his busy schedule to show us the sunrise and sea of ​​clouds; the tranquility and healing away from the hustle and bustle were unforgettable. There's no commercial alienation here, only the warmth and comfort of home. Next time I visit Jingmai Mountain, I'll definitely return to this ”warm little home” hidden in the ancient village.

The host and his wife are very nice and helpful - thanks again! Dont miss the delicious tee the family is producing themselves. There is a nice roof terrace for breakfast and a nice restaurant just on the other side of street.

Instead of relying on online hype or negative reviews, it's best to experience it yourself! So far, among the hotels I've stayed at in Yunnan (Kunming and Pu'er), the Lesser Panda Hotel is the best! Please don't compare these forest cabins to city star-rated hotels; the charm here is the rustic feel of being in nature. Cicadas by the window, spiders by the path – you get up close and personal with nature. The facilities might be a bit old, but they are very clean. The service, from the front desk to the customer service center, restaurant, and shuttle service, was excellent, especially the shuttle drivers and the butler! As for activities, the single route is well-planned with no backtracking, offering a variety of plants and close encounters with animals (though not many species, they are incredibly close!). At the Wetland Restaurant, you can even see birds strolling by your window. This is a rainforest-focused forest park, so for those comparing it to Chimelong with fewer animals, please remember this isn't a zoo! In short, when you're out traveling, try to be less critical and more immersed in the experience! Both adults and children had a great time! It's definitely worth staying a night!

Even though I only stayed for one night, it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. The family running the hotel were incredibly welcoming, inviting me for Pu’er tea while checking in and while waiting for my Didi upon checkout. They also provided a safe space for me to store my luggage while I explored the nearby area post-check out. The hotel is perfectly located within the Ancient Tea Horse Road area, 1 minute away from the picturesque tea horse archway (the entry point for a beautiful tea plantation tourist area and the site for a daily dance performance at 19:30). The hotel has also teamed up with a local restaurant to provide a free breakfast coupon - it was fantastic local fare (a “make your own” dry noodle bar) and a very welcome start to a hot day. Suffice to say, if you’re looking for a hotel in Pu’er I highly recommend you stay here.

The hotel is brand new and very clean, even has a smart toilet (YYDS!). The most worthwhile thing is the absolutely stunning view. We saw a small sea of ​​clouds in the morning and bright sunshine at noon. For this view and price, it blows away the entire village. However, it's located in Mangjing, not Wengji. If you're driving, there's a large parking lot in the courtyard, which is very convenient, so parking isn't a problem. Parking is very troublesome in Nuogan or Wengji. The scenery here is so beautiful that you could easily spend a few days relaxing at the hotel. It's about a 5-minute walk to the Princess Banyan Tree. We didn't visit any other attractions, but overall it was really great. I saw online that many of the guesthouses nearby were older and I was worried about hygiene, but thankfully this one was very clean. It's definitely worth the money and highly recommended. They were also very helpful in getting rid of the bugs that flew in at night.
