Ouqiyuan Homestay (Dianchi Lake Haigeng Dam) Hotels in Kunming

Ouqiyuan Homestay (Dianchi Lake Haigeng Dam)

"I absolutely loved the atmosphere of this hotel. Upon entering, there was a green lawn with lounge chairs where you could relax and unwind. It was quiet and comfortable to sleep in at night. The staff were very friendly, the room was clean and tidy, and the 8cm latex mattress was very comfortable. The amenities were complete, and the smart smart device was very useful. The hotel's location was also excellent, right across from the Haigeng Dam. Feeding seagulls was just a 1-minute walk away, and transportation was very convenient, with bus and subway stations nearby. There were mushroom hot pot restaurants, local Yunnan stir-fries, and barbecue and night markets in the evenings. It was a very pleasant stay."

YUNSHUIYI HOTEL Hotels in Kunming

YUNSHUIYI HOTEL

"Finally found a pet-friendly private soup homestay in Kunming! Navigation is direct, and the city takes more than 30 minutes to take a taxi. It is recommended to drive by car. We booked a big bed room with independent private soup, and the yard was very comfortable to soak in the starry sky. The homestay has a super beautiful mountain view pool and a large lawn. The photos are very good. If you bring a dog, the hairy children can run crazy (remember to take a rope to pick up the shit bag). The breakfast is quite complete, the eggs are steamed, corn sweet potatoes, roasted wheat, and the freshly cooked small pot of rice noodles. The homestay is very close to Hama. It takes 8 minutes to drive. In the afternoon, I go to eat a mutton hot pot and buy some fruit. I come back to soak in a private soup. Don't be too comfortable. The homestay can also barbecue on the lawn and have KTV to make an appointment. The overall stay is comfortable, suitable for people with pets, friends gathering or want to be quiet and soak in a daze. It rained last night and slept well listening to the sound of the rain. When the sleep is not good, you should come to the mountains for one night. It is very healing."

FourPoints by Sheraton Kunming City Centre Hotel

"I had a very pleasant stay at Four Points by Sheraton Kunming City Center. The hotel is conveniently located in the city centre, with easy access to the train station, nearby parks, Kunming Old Street, and major shopping malls. The service throughout my stay was excellent. The staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful. The buffet breakfast was generous, fresh, and varied, with a good selection of food to suit different tastes. The hotel facilities were also impressive. The laundry room and fitness centre were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The room was clean and modern, and the housekeeping and room service were very attentive. Whenever assistance was needed, the staff responded promptly and efficiently. Overall, this is a clean, comfortable, and well-managed hotel with a convenient location and excellent service. I would be happy to stay here again and would recommend it to both business and leisure travellers."

"This was one of the few hotels in the area that offered breakfast, but I later realized the breakfast wasn't worth getting up early for. The hotel facilities are excellent, the bedding in the room is great, and the service is also very good. It offers fantastic value for money. The only reason I'm docking a point is for the breakfast. Also, I've never quite understood the 'sea view' claim here. Is it because it's on a high floor, so 'sea' refers to a 'sea of buildings'? Regardless, this is definitely a hotel worth a second visit."

"The room is very clean, with disposable toilet mats, Adolf shower and high-speed hair dryer. The mattress is also moderately soft and hard, and most importantly, there is an air conditioner that can heat normally. The entire facility is of high quality and very comfortable to stay. If you want to go to South Station, Dounan Flower Market, and Wetland Park specifically, it is very convenient to stay here, and the environment is very quiet. There are refrigerators and microwaves at the front desk, and the boss is very cooperative if you need to tell him anything. There are many breakfast shops across the street downstairs, and I look forward to trying rice noodles from different shops every day. I will choose this one next time I come back~"

"Conveniently near (10mins) by car from the airport. Hotel provided airport shuttle services 24/7 which is what is needed. However location is far from the city (30mins by didi) so take note of that. Overall a pleasant place to stay for one night to transit."

Jinbi Hall Hotel (Nanping Pedestrian Street Jinma Bijifang Branch) ★★★★
"We had a wonderful 2-night stay at Jinbi Hall Hotel. The service here is absolutely outstanding from start to finish: Seamless Arrival & Departure: When we first arrived at the DiDi drop-off location, the hotel staff was already there waiting for us to help carry our luggage to the property. On our check-out day, they went above and beyond again, escorting us and carrying our heavy bags all the way back to the DiDi pickup point. Muslim-Friendly Breakfast: They were incredibly accommodating with our specific dietary requests and ensured we had a breakfast suitable for Muslims, which we deeply appreciated. Incredibly Helpful Staff: While there is no microwave in the rooms or a shared kitchen, the staff was more than happy to reheat our food for us whenever we asked. Perfect for Prayers: The front desk team communicates flawlessly through the app and kindly granted us a late check-out so we could peacefully complete our prayers before our flight. Fantastic Location: It is perfectly situated on Nanping Pedestrian Street, and there are plenty of halal restaurants and food options right around the vicinity. Thank you to the wonderful team for their kindness, excellent communication, and amazing hospitality. Highly recommended place to stay"

"We are writing this review while staying in this hotel now. We have traveled from Feilai Shangrila a 5-6 hours drive and a 4.5 hr train very tired and sleepy at 11pm but were greeted with good service at the reception and was happy that the reception staff said that she will UPGRADE us to a better room and also mentioned their best room. They also mentioned that they are doing this so that we can write them good review. We were so happy, but when we opened our so-called “better room” we were greeted with a room with an opened window and smelled like someone just smoked in the room. Though the room is big I checked what I have booked and realized that it is still the same size same type of room that I have booked no upgrade at all as mentioned by the staff. The so-called “smart toilet” can only flush in different way but no bidet washing function which are available in many other hotel. I was disappointed that if they mentioned there is an upgrade, then they should give me a better room but yet we were given a less than normal room that we have booked. We were disappointed and tired to ask to make any changes. By the way the toilet will flood after our shower. It’s mentioned in the features of this room to have rain shower but we are getting a spray shower that spray towards the glass door and cause water to flow toward the door making it slippery and dangerous. I will not recommend this hotel as there are many other better hotel that is cheaper yet offer better updated features in the room."

Moonlight Courtyard Hotel (Kunming Nanping Street and Near the train station) ★★★★
"The hotel located near tourist attractions, making it easy to go on foot. The room was spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Since we can't speak Chinese, they contacted us with a translation app. The breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of choices. I suggest everyone to try crossing-the-bridge noodle. They also offer tea in the afternoon and desserts in the evening. Along the way from the hotel to Kunming old street you can see local lives. We saw groups playing chess right in front of the hotel, giving a vintage atmosphere. The only thing i'd like the hotel to improve is that the water in the shower wasn't hot enough."

"Solid old-school hotel with an incredible location right by the lake. For the price it’s decent tho I might stay somewhere a little nicer next time. Breakfast is acceptable but acoustics in the restaurant are horrible - super noisy. Also the gym is just bizarre but usable and they need to keep the AC on. Pool was under construction so you might wanna call ahead if that’s important to you."
