Location is a big plus here — right next to the convention center, a shopping mall with tons of dining and shopping options, and DiDaDi outdoor theme park is literally just outside the hotel. The kids loved it and kept themselves busy the whole time. Rooms were great and the outdoor bathtub was a nice bonus. We had a minor hiccup with the AC going out overnight, but the manager was super responsive and got us moved to a new room without any hassle since the technician wasn’t around over the weekend. Really appreciated that. Free breakfast and supper are both included, and honestly both were really good — plenty of variety and everything tasted great. Oh, and don’t sleep on the hotel’s rooftop photo shoot. The views up there are stunning and it’s a proper must-do during your stay. All in all, a really enjoyable stay. Highly recommend!

Perfect location in a walkable tree-lined neighborhood, where there are lots of upscale restaurants and bars and cafes. The hotel isn’t the newest and could use a touch-up in places but very interesting design, cool artwork in the lobby, huge rooms. A couple machines for laundry and gym on top floor. Service at the reception was super helpful. Breakfast is in a restaurant that is a German beer place during the day and night. Selection is modest but sausages and delicious broth and noodles, the bread could have been more fresh. Would stay here again.

This garden hotel is absolutely stunning! The garden is like a huge energy field; a walk through it every evening recharges you. A big thank you to the lovely front desk lady who arranged a beautiful room with a direct view of the garden – it was so refreshing to open the window each day. The swimming pool is also fantastic! It's deep and spacious, with excellent water quality, making for a truly enjoyable swim. The room was cleaned promptly, and the housekeepers thoughtfully left four bottles of water, all neatly arranged! I was able to add the butler on WeChat, and during my five-night stay, I received fruit for three days, and two cans of coffee as a farewell gift! Our room rate included breakfast and dinner, and for all five nights, the food at the restaurant was consistently excellent! The Yunnan local dishes, in particular, were so delicious they almost brought tears to my eyes! The rice noodles were incredible, with four different types of toppings! I had rice noodles for both breakfast and dinner! The fruit selection was also abundant, with seven or eight varieties. I especially loved their freshly squeezed juices, particularly the cucumber juice. And they have an Indian chef whose flying bread and curry are simply divine! The location is superb! A short walk through Haigeng Hall leads you directly to Haigeng Dam, making it incredibly convenient to see the seagulls! Xishan and Haihong Wetland are also not far, perfect for a leisurely stroll. I hope to stay at InterContinental Hotel again on my next visit to Dianchi Lake. The quality and service far exceeded my expectations!

While the hotel room facilities are a bit dated, with old carpets and a slightly cramped bathroom with only one sink, the strong water pressure made for a comfortable shower. The air conditioning was just okay, and the soundproofing was decent. As an older five-star hotel, Wanda Vista truly shines in its service. Front desk manager Mr./Ms. Yang was kind and friendly, helping us arrange an extended stay and providing excellent advice and assistance with our Yunnan travel plans. The front desk is often a guest's first impression, and we're very grateful to Mr./Ms. Yang for starting our stay off so well. The restaurant's breakfast offered a good variety, and the taste was acceptable. The breakfast staff were incredibly sincere and service-oriented in their greetings and assistance. I even noticed one or two pregnant staff members in the breakfast area who were still meticulously and efficiently going about their work. The executive lounge didn't have a huge selection of dishes, but everything was fresh and replenished promptly. The housekeeping staff were also very friendly, and the room was kept clean. The hotel's location is super convenient. Overall, it's definitely worth another stay.

Stayed with my family, and the hotel thoughtfully upgraded our room for free. The room was spacious and bright. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered an absolutely stunning view from high above, and the kids loved watching the city traffic at night. The room was well-equipped with a tea set, coffee machine, and plenty of drinking water. The bedding was soft and comfortable for a good night's sleep. The environment was quiet with excellent soundproofing, and the facilities were clean and tidy. It was very convenient for exploring the city. The service was warm and attentive. It was a perfect experience for a family trip. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Kunming.

This is my third visit this year, and I absolutely love this hotel, even though it's only 30 kilometers from my home. My favorite part is the large balcony, which offers a delightful view of the lake and lush green mountains, with high skies and drifting clouds – it's incredibly peaceful. The evenings are very quiet. The soundproofing in the rooms is excellent, and the breakfast at the restaurant is fantastic.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Stay at Green Lake Hotel – Excellent Location, Service and Food. We had a wonderful stay at Green Lake Hotel in Kunming. The location is absolutely fantastic, right next to the beautiful Green Lake and within easy walking distance of many of Kunming’s attractions, restaurants, and historic areas. It was especially nice to be able to walk around the lake in the morning and evening. Although the hotel has a long history, it is very well maintained and has a classic, elegant atmosphere. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the entire hotel felt welcoming and well cared for. What impressed us most was the service. The staff were genuinely warm, professional, and attentive.

We also had an excellent experience at the hotel restaurant. The dining environment is beautiful and elegant, the service is attentive, and the food was very well prepared. We especially enjoyed experiencing the local Yunnan flavors and ingredients. It was one of the highlights of our stay and a very convenient place to enjoy a relaxing meal after sightseeing. Overall, Green Lake Hotel combines an unbeatable location, traditional elegance, excellent service, and very good dining. It has a character that many newer hotels simply don’t have. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily choose this hotel again the next time we visit Kunming. Highly recommended!

We came all the way from Chengdu for a two-day weekend getaway. The hotel offers complimentary airport shuttle service, which was a lifesaver when my friend suddenly had severe abdominal pain on the plane. The driver kindly took us to the nearest clinic and waited for us. The hotel's concierge, Bocheng, was incredibly nice and accommodating, always ready to help and even proactively helped us plan and remind us about our itinerary for the next day. The hotel is beautifully situated right on Yangzong Lake, offering a fantastic location. Although it's been open for twenty years, it's still well-maintained and has a unique charm.

Facilities: Standard star-rated hotel facilities, very good. The room is spacious and comfortable. Cleanliness: Meets expectations, very thoroughly cleaned. Environment: This needs to be highlighted. The location is incredibly convenient. It's directly connected to the Golden Eagle shopping mall, so you don't even need to leave the hotel. Plus, it's super close to Kunming Old Street, making dining, entertainment, and shopping incredibly convenient. Service: Excellent. They generally meet all requests! Breakfast: We went out for rice noodles, so no comment on the hotel's breakfast.

Facilities: The hotel is very new, and getting it for around 600 during the peak summer holiday season is incredible value for money! It shares a gym, pool, and Chinese restaurant with the Shangri-La next door, which costs 2500. Service: There's a doorman to open doors and help with luggage, truly a five-star setup. I'll definitely prioritize staying here again next time I'm in Kunming.
