Echarm Stays in Kunming

The hotel's location is super convenient; Kunming Old Street is just a left turn away. They bring fresh fruit and their delicious homemade Xianhua cakes to the room every day. The only minor drawback is the soundproofing, as I could hear loud noise from next door. Otherwise, everything was fantastic, especially the incredibly thoughtful service. I highly recommend staying here!

Cost-effectiveness: When traveling, the first choice of accommodation is relatively cost-effective, and the environment is comfortable. His hotel is mid-range and a national chain, which is very reassuring. Hygiene: The hygiene of the room is what I care most about when staying in a hotel. When I arrived at the hotel and checked in, I felt more warm when entering the room. The hotel hygiene was also relatively clean and tidy, so I felt relieved to check in. I like the hotel.

I extended my stay for another day, and in addition to the good service and cleanliness I mentioned before, I also used the laundry room today. It was great, with LG washer/dryers that automatically dispense detergent and disinfectant. However, some guests might be a bit inconsiderate and leave their laundry unattended for a long time after it's done. I suggest adding labels or a mobile notification feature.

The drivers thy do the shuttle service are obviously under stress, they seem to be impatient and rude. No one wants to gr to an angry driver after landing maybe from a delayed flight overnight. A bit of compassion towards the customers would be appreciated and it would look better for the hotel image. Beside this, the hotel is clean and very close to the airport and not overpriced so happy with it overall. Breakfast is below average , better options in the airport for sure.

The location is conveniently located with easy access to transportation and plenty of barbecue options nearby. In fact, there are plenty of food options all around, so you won't go hungry. The hotel is clean and the rooms are tidy; I was satisfied with my stay. The hotel breakfast was also good, with a wide selection, and I could eat my fill in a hygienic way. The front desk and room service staff were very welcoming and helpful, quickly addressing any requests. There's also parking available; it seems to be in the backyard since I didn't have a car. It's quite nice, and for the price, it's definitely worth it!

The price (208 RMB, about €25) and the central location—near Kunming Central Station and just a 45-minute metro ride from the airport—led me to book Echarm Hotel for one night. Check-in was quick, and the staff were friendly and efficient. They accommodated our requests for two extra pillows and a room away from the elevator to ensure quietness. Complimentary coffee and tea are available in the lobby. We did not opt for breakfast, which is optional and costs 29 CNY per person. The room was clean and equipped with a kettle, three types of tea, instant coffee, and two bottles of water, although you can request additional bottles both in the hall and near the elevator exit. There is only one elevator, so you might have to wait or share the lift occasionally. The area is central and lively, very close to Dashuying metro station (I recommend Exit A as it’s on the same side of the street). There is also a local night market nearby (watch out for passing motorcycles and cars), located near the old tram tracks, continuing from Exit C of the metro. Nothing to complain about—the room was perfect. The only downside is the absence of a minibar, but this seems common in many 3- and 4-star hotels in China.

This is my second time in Kunming, and I chose Echarm Hotel again. The experience was even better than last time! The hotel's location is super easy to find, and it's only about a ten to fifteen-minute drive to attractions like Yunnan Nationalities Village, Dianchi Lake, Haiyan Village, and the museum, making getting around incredibly convenient. It's also very quiet; at night, with the windows closed and the AC on, you barely hear any outside noise, so I slept wonderfully. The room was spotlessly clean, the carpet had no strange odors, and the bedding and towels were soft and comfortable. The large floor-to-ceiling window offered a lovely green view, which was very therapeutic. The facilities were complete and worked well; the toiletries had a pleasant scent, and even the disposable dental kit was of good quality. The front desk and housekeeping staff were all very warm and friendly. They even proactively recommended the hotel's complimentary afternoon tea. The coffee is freshly ground, and with the ice machine, I could DIY an iced Americano that was super refreshing. There were also four or five kinds of exquisite small pastries, which tasted great. I genuinely recommend this hotel to friends visiting Kunming, and I'll definitely stay here again next time! Plus, the front desk lady was beautiful and kind-hearted, really great, super gentle, and had fantastic service!
