zhongwei Hotels in Kunming

My main purpose for visiting Kunming this time was to escape the summer heat, relax, and explore the local food scene, so I chose a hotel right next to Kunming Old Street. It's an established five-star hotel, showing its age a bit, but that also gives it a reassuring sense of reliability. The rooms are standard, nothing fancy, but the blue skies and white clouds outside the window were beautiful every day. The complimentary welcome fruits and snacks were plentiful and even included lollipops, which made me feel like the hotel puts a special emphasis on families with children. There's a kids' play area on the floor, and the buffet restaurant even has a dedicated children's dining section. The breakfast was the biggest highlight – rich, delicious, and featuring many Yunnan specialty dishes. Just be sure to avoid peak times. The hotel's location is unbeatable. Nanping Walking Street, Nanqiang Street, and Jinma Biji Archway are all within walking distance, and ride-sharing services are readily available, with pickups almost instantaneous.

This is a historic, vintage-style hotel. The location is superb, right at the main entrance of Cuihu Park. Kunming Old Street is just 1 km away and easily reachable on foot, with the route dotted with popular photo-op spots. While the hotel's facilities are a bit dated, they contribute to its historical charm. The service from this established hotel was absolutely impeccable. From the moment we stepped out of the car at the entrance, through check-in, and all the way to our room, a dedicated staff member was with us. We were quite touched, even a little embarrassed, that an elderly gentleman insisted on pushing our luggage all the way to our room. Upon check-in, we were offered peach gum and white fungus soup, floral cookies, and fresh fruit. The buffet breakfast was also quite varied. Several well-known mushroom hot pot restaurants are also conveniently located just outside the hotel, within easy walking distance. Highly recommended.

For this trip to Kunming, our family of five specifically looked for a hotel with convenient transportation and close proximity to the pedestrian street. After browsing hotels and guesthouses directly within the pedestrian street area, we found them either too expensive or with poor hygiene, so we eventually settled on Haitain Hotel. It offered excellent value for money and was very clean. We booked three king-sized rooms and stayed for three nights. The hotel is only two metro stops from Kunming High-Speed Railway Station, and it's right across the street from the metro exit. Jinma Biji Archway and the Old Street are also within easy walking distance. From our room windows, we could even enjoy views of the Kunming city streets. The only slight drawback was that rooms facing the main street could be noisy at night due to car horns. However, the hotel thoughtfully provided earplugs. Overall, it's a great choice!
