YUNSHUIYI HOTEL

"A very beautiful hotel with complete facilities. Not only can you swim, but you can also float on the shallows. There is a hot spring pool in the room, which is very comfortable. The key is that the room is very large, each room is very spacious, and the service is impeccable. The customer service butlers are super considerate. There is also delicious rice noodles for breakfast. If you need to dine here, you have to make a reservation. It is really relaxing and happy to come here to bring your children to play on weekends or when you are free."

Courtyard with Dianchi Lake View

"During the last few days of summer vacation, I took my two children on a self-guided trip to Kunming. Our criteria for a high-end hotel, near Dianchi Lake, and with no negative reviews were high-end. After looking at many options, we chose this B&B. Our experience: The owner built the B&B on a residential plot of land, and the layout and decor are meticulously crafted. The electric curtains are convenient, the automatic night light can be set anywhere, and the hot shower has strong water pressure. Four of us stayed in the largest room, which was very spacious. From the bed, we could see Dianchi Lake, rice paddies outside the window, and the train station in the distance. It was very quiet at night. Breakfast was freshly cooked rice noodles/noodles, eggs, steamed buns, and yogurt, and was delicious. There's a farmhouse restaurant next to the hotel, serving local cuisine and convenient for dining. The owner provided bicycles for us to ride along Dianchi Lake for a short ride (photos attached), enjoying the beautiful scenery and fresh air. Taxis to tourist attractions were also very convenient. Overall, our stay was a great experience, and I've included photos of my positive review."

"First of all, the transportation is very convenient. Dianchi Lake is just a 2-minute walk away, and there are many seagulls. The room is also very quiet. The owner is very friendly and helpful, introducing what to do around the area and when to take photos. Seeing that we had elderly relatives and thought staying on the second floor would be inconvenient, they kindly arranged for us to stay in the courtyard on the first floor. The room is very clean, and the facilities are complete, all controlled by a smart speaker. The bedding is white and very clean. There are many places to eat nearby, which is very convenient. In the evening, there are many night market stalls, creating a great atmosphere, suitable for casual gatherings. Highly recommended."

"The room was clean and comfortable with complete facilities. There's a free self-service parking lot and a self-service drinking water rest area. The only downside is the lack of breakfast. The front desk staff were very enthusiastic and helpful, assisting with luggage and always ready to lend a hand. I needed to use the washing machine but had to go out, so I asked the front desk to wash and then put my clothes in the dryer. To my surprise, the hotel staff not only did all of that but also folded them neatly and placed them back in my room. This was a really pleasant surprise, making my entire stay quite satisfying."

The decoration and bath brands are exactly what I like. The boss and the boss lady are very enthusiastic and nice. They will also introduce nearby places to visit. It is very close to Dianchi Lake. Just turn right at the entrance of the community and walk for a few minutes to get there. It is very convenient for me who likes to sleep in. It is also very close to Dianchi Lake, the cableway and the ethnic village. If you want to visit these places, I recommend staying here."

Xi Xiaoshi Designers High View Scenic Hotel (Kunming Dounan Flower Market Branch) Hotels in Kunming

Xi Xiaoshi Designers High View Scenic Hotel (Kunming Dounan Flower Market Branch)

"The room layout was stunning, truly reflecting a designer brand's touch. The TV screen was massive, and the two large floor-to-ceiling windows at the corner offered incredibly open views. The amenities provided were also top-notch. What really stood out was the impeccable butler service. They contacted me in advance to ask about my needs, and knowing I was driving, they even sent me the parking location, saving me a lot of hassle. They also gave detailed directions to Dounan Flower Market (it's not far, but you need to follow road regulations, which makes it feel a bit longer). There was one minor issue: even though we were on the 28th floor, the noise from passing cars on the road at night still affected my sleep quality."

"We love the free laundry service, the hotel staff sent our washed and dried clothes to our rooms the next morning. All towels were sealed in bags to ensure cleanliness. We were served honey drinks immediately when the staff met us at the counter. The rooms we booked were spacious. The location is definitely excellent. I highly recommend this hotel."

"Room was a little compact but guess that’s because it’s in the old town and food and shopping are just downstairs, a minute’s walk away. The staff at the reception were very helpful and special mention to 余秋who helped us navigate the apps in mandarin. The laundromat provided is well equipped with laundry facilities. We will go back to the hotel if we return to Kunming. The breakfast spread is reasonable and there is also free supper (porridge to warm the body after coming back from the cold outside). Great local hotel."

"Good clean, nice view. Location generally good. But food options if wanna buy by yourself got to go a bit far to kunming plaza unless you order from *******. Generally most of the staffs here are professional and polite. I am very pleasantly happy with the services provided here. Food option is simple but enough. The rice noodle is quite nice though. Simple suggestion would be hope TV is connected to netflix or some movie app or channels would be ideal. Thank you Parkwin. My son enjoyed it."

LIRIDE RED HOTEL ★★★★
"So glad I chose this hotel! Liruide Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. Its location is fantastic, just a short walk from Cuihu Park (unlike many other hotels that claim to be near but are much further). There are also countless excellent restaurants and shops nearby, offering plenty of choices. The hotel itself is superb. Being on a high floor, the Sky Bar and restaurant on the 19th floor offer panoramic views of Cuihu Park and the beautiful cityscape of Kunming. If you book a lake view room, you can enjoy the stunning views of Cuihu Lake right from your room, which was a wonderful surprise. The hotel's decor, with its strong contrast of classic black, red, and grey, feels modern, stylish, and tasteful from the moment you step into the lobby. I especially loved the "ENJOY IT" neon signs in the lobby and restaurant; indeed, you can truly enjoy all the beauty Liruide has to offer. My room, though not large, was incredibly comfortable. The bedding ensured a good night's sleep. It was spotlessly clean, and the shower had great water pressure and hot water, draining super fast (many hotels struggle with drainage, but Liruide nailed this detail). The smart toilet was a nice bonus. While breakfast wasn't lavish, it featured local Yunnan specialties and was more than sufficient. A freshly made rice noodle roll with a generous topping of braised meat was the perfect way to start a day full of energy. What truly touched me was the friendly and thoughtful staff. After checking out, I had a video conference in the lobby, and a staff member specially lowered the lobby music volume for me and kindly brought a bottle of water. A huge thank you to Mr. Curry at the front desk for his meticulous service. Your kind and warm attention made us feel as comfortable and wonderful as if we were home, which is a rare treat for those of us constantly on the go. Oh, and the rose petal shortbread offered at check-in was absolutely delicious! The rich rose fragrance bloomed in my mouth with just the right touch of sweetness – unforgettable. For parking, you can drive onto the sidewalk, inform the front desk, and a staff member will immediately valet park your car. After a two-day stay, my experience was simply perfect. The next time I'm in Kunming for business, I'll definitely book here in advance to enjoy it all again."

"I had an amazing experience staying at the Cloud Hotel in Kunming this time, and I highly recommend it. The hotel is located in the city center, within walking distance of Kunming Old Street and Cuihu Park, and close to the subway, making it super convenient for getting around and sightseeing. The staff were warm and attentive, providing detailed and thoughtful service. The rooms were clean and bright, with excellent hygiene, making for a comfortable and reassuring stay. The buffet breakfast varied daily and was delicious, even featuring local specialty rice noodles, so every meal felt fresh. My grandson especially loved the rooftop garden balcony. Overall, the hotel offers a quiet retreat in the midst of the bustling city and is great value for money. I will definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Kunming."
