9.6 (6,790 reviews)

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

"I had a great rest. There are also good restaurants next to the hotel. The hotel is very clean and well-equipped, offering excellent value for money. Employee #5 provided excellent service, dropping me off at the airport in the morning. The driver also helped with my luggage. We departed on time, and every aspect of my experience was great."

KUN MING UPLAND INTERNATIONAL YOUTH  HOSTEL
9.2 (2,306 reviews)

KUN MING UPLAND INTERNATIONAL YOUTH HOSTEL ★★★

📍 No. 92 Huashan West Road, Wuhua District, Kunming

"Overall, it was a good stay. The location is excellent, the bed was comfortable, and the blackout curtains worked well. The only minor issue was that the luggage storage area was a bit damp, but it didn't really bother me. Do note that you'll have to climb a few stairs to get to your room, which might be a bit inconvenient if you have heavy luggage."

Best Yue Hang Hotel
9.0 (4,783 reviews)

Best Yue Hang Hotel ★★★★

📍 Airport North Road, Kunming Changshui International Airport, Yunnan, Guandu District, Kunming

"This is an older hotel, but its main advantage is its proximity to the airport and the shuttle service. It's a good option for temporary layovers or red-eye flights. You can call a bit in advance to request the shuttle. If you wait until you arrive to call, you'll be standing in the cold for over ten minutes."

Moonlight Courtyard Hotel (Kunming Nanping Street and Near the train station)
9.7 (4,306 reviews)

Moonlight Courtyard Hotel (Kunming Nanping Street and Near the train station) ★★★★

📍 No. 1 Courtyard, North Arcade, Dongxisita Pedestrian Street, Xishan District, Kunming

"The room was clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space and a lovely ambiance. The 'Guoqiao Mixian' (cross-the-bridge noodles) for breakfast was delicious. It's only a 10-minute walk to Jinma Biji Archway, and a 10-minute taxi ride to Daguan Park."

Kunming Kasion Hotel
9.6 (2,031 reviews)

Kunming Kasion Hotel ★★★★★

📍 No. 1186 Guomao Road, Guandu District, Kunming

"The design is very photogenic, great for social media. They have a lot of high-quality waterjet marble inlays, which looks really upscale. We even got a free room upgrade! Our room overlooked a lively square with singing and dancing, but the soundproof windows were excellent. I highly recommend their ginger shampoo, it's fantastic. Breakfast in that European-style setting was truly a delightful experience."

Kunming Changshui International Airport Rezen Hotel
9.5 (5,285 reviews)

Kunming Changshui International Airport Rezen Hotel ★★★★

📍 No. 170, Dabanqiao Development Zone, Changshui Subdistrict, Dianzhong New Area, Guandu District, Kunming

"🚗: The hotel offers airport transfer, just book in advance. We had an early 6 AM departure, and the front desk proactively called us around 5:40 AM to remind us. The car was a small van. 🍽️: We didn't have a chance to try the late-night dining, but the hotel is located in town, so we could order takeout and had plenty of food options. 🎁: The room came with disposable face towels, small snacks, an air purifier, and there was even water available for guests in the hallway. Thoughtful touches everywhere. Great value for money. Definitely recommend."

Grand Park Kunming
9.4 (6,497 reviews)

Grand Park Kunming ★★★★★

📍 No. 20 Honghua Bridge, Wuhua District, Kunming

"Wonderful stay and great staff, but gym was a bit weird and some of the amenities seemed not often used. However the roo. Was amazing and the location is fantastic. Staff were helpful and curious!"

Central Ananas Hotel Kunming Old Street & Green Lake
9.7 (200 reviews)

Central Ananas Hotel Kunming Old Street & Green Lake ★★★★

📍 No. 87, Dongfeng West Road, Wuhua District, Kunming

"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."

HYATT PLACE KUNMING SOUTH RAILWAY STATION
9.4 (1,437 reviews)

HYATT PLACE KUNMING SOUTH RAILWAY STATION ★★★★

📍 No. 8 Qinghe Road, Luolong Subdistrict, Chenggong District, Kunming

"The hotel is right next to Kunming South Station and offers a shuttle service. The breakfast is excellent, the room design and hotel service are great, and it's easy to get a taxi or ride-share. The Bailongtan scenery is also beautiful."

"This hotel's location in downtown Kunming was perfect for our activities. Right outside, if you turn right, you're on the old street pedestrian area; cross the road, and there are several large shopping malls, making shopping incredibly convenient. The hotel facilities are very new, and the staff are warm and attentive. We called to ask for a small item we needed, and a robot delivered it to our room immediately! The breakfast variety was the most extensive we've seen in all the hotels we've stayed at, and it tasted excellent too! They even offer a late-night snack service."

JEN Kunming by Shangri-La

"Facilities: The TV picture quality wasn't great, and while it said there was wireless charging by the bed, it didn't work. The wet/dry separation in the shower wasn't good, and the showerhead was difficult to position. The bed was very comfortable, and I really liked the desk and chair. Cleanliness: It was pretty good, but not perfect. For example, I accidentally stained the shower door the day before, and it was still the same the next day. Environment: The environment was great and very quiet. There was a slight issue with soundproofing, but it didn't really affect anything. The bar and gym were excellent! Service: The service was fantastic! The front desk, bar staff, housekeeping, and even the pillow delivery were all thorough and excellent."

"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."

Shanyin·Zhu Bed and Breakfast (Dianchi Haiyan Village Branch, Kunming)

"The hotel's decor is quite nice, spread across several buildings. Our room happened to be right above the cafe, so breakfast was just a short walk downstairs. The only downside was the power outage on the second day. There wasn't a lot of staff; I think I only saw two, and they seemed quite busy, so we didn't want to bother them much. However, when my child had a fever on the day we arrived, a staff member proactively brought us fever medicine. Breakfast was delicious. Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the cafe, you could watch seagulls fly by. After breakfast, we could step out to the Dianchi Lake shore to feed them. It's a very relaxed and calming place."

"This was my second stay at this hotel during this trip. After spending a few days in Tengchong from Kunming, I didn't hesitate to choose this place again on my return. What first drew me back was their breakfast. They offer a complete spread of Kunming specialties, and the taste is absolutely fantastic, especially the chicken soup rice noodles and Ersi, the crispy tofu (baojiang doufu), and the fried eggs with flowers..."
