Kunming Huagu Hotel (Changshui International Airport Platinum Port Modern Plaza Store) ★★★★

📍 1st Floor, No. 1009, Building 1, Bogang Modern Plaza, Konggang Avenue, Guandu District, Kunming

"The room was very spacious, especially the bathroom and shower. It's close to the airport with a shuttle service, taking only 10 minutes to get there, which is perfect for those with early morning flights. I had a 7 AM flight, arrived at the airport around 5 AM, and woke up at 4:30 AM without feeling rushed at all."

Atour Hotel Kunming Nanping Pedestrian Street Old Street ★★★★

📍 No. 1 Dongfeng West Road, Wuhua District, Kunming

"Everything was great, especially the friendly front desk staff and the lady cooking rice noodles in the breakfast area. The hotel's location couldn't be better; it's super convenient to get anywhere, and taxis are quick to arrive. The bookstore is also beautiful, clearly not just for show but filled with many captivating books 📚. My only regret was not trying the beef pancakes downstairs. The only thing I'd complain about is how light and easily moved the mattress was; otherwise, it's a perfect score! 💯"

Holiday Inn Express KUNMING RAILWAY STATION by IHG ★★★★

📍 No. 8 Yongping Road, Taihe Subdistrict Office, Guandu District, Kunming

"This time I came to Kunming by train and chose the Holiday Inn Express very close to the North Exit. The location is incredibly convenient; you don't have to rush for high-speed trains or regular trains, saving you the hassle of traveling back and forth. The hotel is new, the room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom had a wet/dry separation, and hot water came quickly. The front desk staff were friendly, and check-in/check-out was very efficient. They also responded promptly to any issues. The breakfast selection was comprehensive, including some local simple dishes, perfect for fueling up before heading out to explore. The whole place was quiet, not noisy at all, making it suitable for business trips or as a stopover during travel. As an international chain brand, the quality is reliable and the price is fair. If you want a hassle-free trip, this is a great choice. I'll prioritize staying here again next time I visit Kunming. Highly recommended!"

FourPoints by Sheraton Kunming City Centre Hotel Hotels in Kunming

FourPoints by Sheraton Kunming City Centre Hotel

"Traveling with my child, we stayed at the Hilton in downtown Kunming, and the experience far exceeded our expectations! I have to give a special shout-out to the front desk staff, who proactively upgraded our room for free and even gave our child a complimentary breakfast, saving us extra expenses – such great value for money. The room was clean and spacious, with excellent facilities. The breakfast buffet offered a huge selection, with plenty of pastries and milk specifically for kids. The hotel's location is superb; it's right in the city center, making it convenient to get anywhere. All the staff were incredibly kind and patient, especially friendly towards children. Our travel fatigue completely melted away here. I highly recommend it for families!"

Grand Hyatt Kunming Hotels in Kunming

Grand Hyatt Kunming

"We were a group of 15 people, four families with kids, staying together. Overall, it was quite convenient! Besides traffic, it was easy for the children to go out and explore the area, with plenty of places to eat and shop. The facilities, including the bathrooms, were fine, and the bedding was comfortable for a good night's sleep. The only real issue was the slow service; we were told it was fully booked, and we had to wait two hours for our luggage, which definitely needs improvement, though it wasn't a major problem. I also have a suggestion: since they contact guests in advance, and families with children often book multiple rooms, why not assign them to the same floor beforehand? We had to spend over half an hour at check-in discussing this to get rooms on the same floor. How much efficiency was lost? It was frustrating. P.S. I've attached some photos of good food spots nearby."

Grand Park Kunming Hotels in Kunming

Grand Park Kunming

"This hotel is excellent! First off, the room layout is well-designed, and the breakfast is incredibly rich and delicious – especially their homemade snowflake crisp, which is a must-try! The staff are also very friendly and helpful. Plus, the hotel's location is superb, being very close to popular attractions and Cuihu Walking Street. It's incredibly convenient for sightseeing, making it the top choice for anyone visiting Kunming!"

Kunming Kasion Hotel Hotels in Kunming

Kunming Kasion Hotel

"I followed Ctrip's Yunnan hot spring hotel ranking to pick this hotel, and they really are experts! The Tengchong Kaishen Hot Spring Hotel absolutely deserves its double 5-star rating. [Hot Spring Experience] You can enjoy a private hot spring right in your room, and the water quality is incredibly comfortable! You don't even need to leave your room to experience the freedom of a hot spring. The hotel's overall environment is also very luxurious, completely meeting 5-star standards. Service Details: 1. The breakfast selection was rich, and for two consecutive days, the dishes were completely different, which shows great thoughtfulness. 2. They even provided two different flavors of toothpaste with the toiletries. 3. When checking out, not only did they give us a souvenir, but knowing we were driving, they specially prepared a car air freshener. Fully satisfied, 190%!"

He · Linuo Urban Healing Hotel (Kunming Wanda Plaza)

"The hotel environment is excellent, and the service is top-notch. The rooms are spacious and bright, and even have smart toilets. Their breakfast features authentic Yunnan Crossing-the-Bridge Noodles, which are incredibly fresh. I was in a hurry checking out and left a small doll in the room, but the front desk messaged me and even helped me mail it back. That was incredibly thoughtful! The location is great too, right in Wanda Plaza. There's a snack street upstairs and downstairs, and a mall just outside. It's really convenient. You can hail a taxi right outside, and it's also very close to the train station."

GreenTree Eastern Hotel (Chongqing Baiyun Road Tongde Plaza) Hotels in Kunming

GreenTree Eastern Hotel (Chongqing Baiyun Road Tongde Plaza)

"Highly recommended! The lady at the front desk was super efficient and friendly, and she proactively told us all about the hotel's facilities. The housekeeping staff were also very prompt with their service, whether it was refilling items or quickly solving any issues. For instance, when they noticed a guest coughing, they even offered chrysanthemum tea! The hotel itself is clean, spacious, and bright, with convenient amenities. The service is simply outstanding – warm, efficient, and they pretty much cater to every request. Plus, the room rates are affordable, and parking is free. I was very satisfied with my stay!"

Kunming Huagu Hotel (Changshui International Airport Platinum Port Modern Plaza Store) ★★★★
"The room was surprisingly large and spacious, offering great value for money. The only downsides were a persistent smoke smell in the room and a cigarette burn hole on the pillow. Even though I requested a non-smoking room and it seemed to have been aired out, the smoke smell was still too strong for a sensitive person like me to sleep. I'd suggest better bathroom cleaning and stricter non-smoking enforcement in the rooms."

Kunming Yuntong Hotel(Kunming Railway Station Store) ★★
"We only stayed here for about 4 hours while waiting for our early morning train to Lijiang, so we did not expect too much in terms of details or facilities. However, for such an affordable price and a location very close to the railway station, we were both very satisfied with our stay. The room type we selected did not have a window, and the space felt quite small and a little uncomfortable. It may not be suitable for guests with a lot of luggage"

"Great location, about a ten-minute walk from Kunming Old Street, right in the city center with convenient transportation. The room is very new and the amenities are excellent. Despite being a bit small, my personal experience felt on par with a five-star hotel. The hotel hallways smell lovely. Since it's still in its trial operation phase, the breakfast selection isn't very extensive, otherwise, it would have been perfect."

Mengjing Rainbow Hotel (Kunming Station Huancheng South Road Subway Station) ★★★
"The hotel is a bit old and the facilities are outdated; it's definitely time for an upgrade. The cleanliness was okay, but the exposed pipes and concrete ceiling (no false ceiling) made it feel a bit dirty. They really should paint over the bare concrete and steel to make it look cleaner. The front desk service wasn't great, and breakfast was very basic. The location itself is fine, but being right by the road, it was quite noisy."
