9.6 (6,906 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

"The service was great, and they provided a free shuttle to the station. The front desk staff was very professional and attentive. It was excellent value for money, and overall I was satisfied. 👍 I do have one suggestion: there weren't enough shuttle vehicles, which led to a long wait in the parking lot – about half an hour. Since I arrived in the early morning, I was a bit annoyed, but the front desk addressed my concerns properly and handled the situation proactively, which was very commendable. 👍 Another significant drawback was the soundproofing; you could clearly hear the sound of the toilet flushing."

"Close to Changshui Airport, very convenient for catching an early morning flight. The room was very clean, and the smart room controls and zero-pressure mattress made for a great rest experience.

The room was beautiful, clean, and well-equipped. The only downside was that the room door was a bit thin. In the early morning, some poorly-behaved children were running and shouting, which disturbed our sleep.

Find Your Perfect Stay in Kunming by Travel Style

Grand Hyatt Kunming Hotels in Kunming

Grand Hyatt Kunming

"I stayed in a suite at the Grand Hyatt Kunming for two nights, and the overall experience was even better than expected. I was actually a bit reluctant to check out. What surprised me the most about the room was the soundproofing and blackout curtains. Even though it's right in the downtown area, once the window is closed, you can barely hear any traffic outside—it's remarkably quiet. The curtains are truly blackout; when I woke up in the morning, the room was still pitch black. It’s an absolute lifesaver for anyone wanting to get some solid rest while traveling. Prior to my check-in, Isla, the Guest Relations Officer, proactively called and added me on WeChat to ask about details like arrival time and pillow preferences. The entire communication process was very pleasant. Throughout the stay, you could really feel the hotel's attentiveness. During turndown service in the evening, they left a handwritten weather card and a steam eye mask. We bought a bunch of roses from the Dounan Flower Market, and the hotel even helped us find a vase. Upon check-out, we unexpectedly received two small Yunnan tie-dye elephants—just one for each of us, which was simply adorable. The Grand Club afternoon tea doesn't have a huge spread, but a few of the cakes were quite tasty. The Happy Hour, on the other hand, was more extensive than expected, with great food and beverage options. I was also very satisfied with the breakfast. Strolling around Kunming during the day, coming back to the hotel at night for a bite to eat, a drink, and a good night's sleep made me feel like this is what a vacation is truly supposed to be like. Thank you to Isla and the rest of the hotel staff for taking such good care of us. I'll likely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Kunming."

NOVOTEL KUNMING CITY CENTER Hotels in Kunming

NOVOTEL KUNMING CITY CENTER

"The hotel's location is quite convenient, with a subway entrance right next to it, and Nanya Fengqing No. 1 City directly opposite, making shopping and dining very accessible. The hotel rooms are a bit cramped; there's no luggage rack. The shower in the twin room is spacious enough, but there's no rack for towels. The elevator lighting is too dark, and the TV is mounted high up, constantly playing hotel commercials with flashing lights, which wasn't a pleasant experience."

Overall, it offers great value for money, and the high-altitude pool is fantastic for photos."

Ibis Styles Hotel (Kunming Nanping Pedestrian Street) ★★★
"Great Stay with Excellent Service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The staff were absolutely awesome—very friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout our stay. Their warm and attentive service really made our experience even more enjoyable. The room was comfortable, spacious, and well suited for a relaxing stay. The only setback is the hotel’s location and entrance, which can be a little awkward to find. There isn’t a clearly visible lobby or convenient drop-off area, so arriving for the first time can be slightly confusing. Other than that, we had a great experience and would definitely consider staying here again. Thank you to Bing Bing for making our stay such a pleasant one!"
