Kunming Huagu Hotel (Changshui International Airport Platinum Port Modern Plaza Store)
9.6 (6,797 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 room was surprisingly large and spacious, offering great value for money. The only downsides were a persistent smoke smell in the room and a cigarette burn hole on the pillow. Even though I requested a non-smoking room and it seemed to have been aired out, the smoke smell was still too strong for a sensitive person like me to sleep. I'd suggest better bathroom cleaning and stricter non-smoking enforcement in the rooms."

Atour Hotel Kunming Nanping Pedestrian Street Old Street
9.5 (5,741 reviews)

Atour Hotel Kunming Nanping Pedestrian Street Old Street ★★★★

📍 No. 1 Dongfeng West Road, Wuhua District, Kunming

"I had a layover in Kunming for one night and chose the Atour Hotel with the best location. Atour's bedding is always top-notch, and after a night on a soft sleeper train, I really needed a good night's rest. The hotel is right next to the old street, and there's a meat pie shop nearby that always has a long line. I couldn't resist buying two, and they were indeed delicious when hot 😋. In the evening, I could easily stroll around and explore the old street, trying out the insect banquet and mushroom banquet – definitely worth a try 🙃."

Kunming Xiangrun AirAsia Hotel (Kunming International Changshui Airport Branch)
9.4 (1,218 reviews)

Kunming Xiangrun AirAsia Hotel (Kunming International Changshui Airport Branch) ★★

📍 No. 13-1, Xinqiao Village, Guandu District, Kunming

"Booked this hotel for my early 6am flight. The hotel provides pickup and drop-off, very attentive they are. Although the location quite out of no where feeling country side near the airport, the room and all are clearn and new. Very recommend"

BORRMAN HOTEL (Kunming Changshui Airport Terminal 1)
9.5 (1,409 reviews)

BORRMAN HOTEL (Kunming Changshui Airport Terminal 1) ★★★

📍 160 meters west of the intersection of Jichang West Road and Jichang Middle Road, Guandu District, Kunming

"They upgraded us to a family twin room! The double-layered soundproof windows were amazing, we couldn't hear any airport noise at all, which made sleeping with the baby incredibly peaceful. The front desk staff, Ms. Xu, Ms. Nuo, and Ms. Tong, were also super patient in helping us confirm our airport shuttle time. The room was spotlessly clean, spacious, and not at all cramped. My child immediately fell in love with the Little Yellow Duck cartoon bedding. It came equipped with a 65-inch smart TV that could mirror screens and smart curtains – truly well-equipped! It's the perfect place to stay if you're catching a flight, and the airport pick-up/drop-off service was also a thoughtful touch!"

Holiday Inn Express KUNMING RAILWAY STATION by IHG
9.4 (839 reviews)

Holiday Inn Express KUNMING RAILWAY STATION by IHG ★★★★

📍 No. 8 Yongping Road, Taihe Subdistrict Office, Guandu District, Kunming

"This time I came to Kunming by train and chose the Holiday Inn Express very close to the North Exit. The location is incredibly convenient; you don't have to rush for high-speed trains or regular trains, saving you the hassle of traveling back and forth. The hotel is new, the room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom had a wet/dry separation, and hot water came quickly. The front desk staff were friendly, and check-in/check-out was very efficient. They also responded promptly to any issues. The breakfast selection was comprehensive, including some local simple dishes, perfect for fueling up before heading out to explore. The whole place was quiet, not noisy at all, making it suitable for business trips or as a stopover during travel. As an international chain brand, the quality is reliable and the price is fair. If you want a hassle-free trip, this is a great choice. I'll prioritize staying here again next time I visit Kunming. Highly recommended!"

The Smart King Ji Hotel(Kunming Changshui International Airport Store)
9.5 (1,500 reviews)

The Smart King Ji Hotel(Kunming Changshui International Airport Store) ★★★

📍 No. 21, Kanglang Village Group, Fuxing Community Residents Committee, Changshui Subdistrict Office, Dianzhong New Area, Guandu District, Kunming

"The service was excellent! The room was very clean and the breakfast was delicious. What's even better is that you can order takeout there, and they even offer a free airport shuttle service, which is very thoughtful. A really great hotel!"

Kunming Yuntong Hotel(Kunming Railway Station Store)
8.9 (1,297 reviews)

Kunming Yuntong Hotel(Kunming Railway Station Store) ★★

📍 1st Floor, Building 4, Xinduyuncheng, Guandu District, Kunming

"Overall, it was great! Excellent value for money, and it's quite close to Kunming Station, about a ten-minute walk. Very convenient for late-night arrivals in Kunming. The customer service lady was also really nice!"

Central Ananas Hotel Kunming Old Street & Green Lake
9.7 (290 reviews)

Central Ananas Hotel Kunming Old Street & Green Lake ★★★★

📍 No. 87, Dongfeng West Road, Wuhua District, Kunming

"Great location, about a ten-minute walk from Kunming Old Street, right in the city center with convenient transportation. The room is very new and the amenities are excellent. Despite being a bit small, my personal experience felt on par with a five-star hotel. The hotel hallways smell lovely. Since it's still in its trial operation phase, the breakfast selection isn't very extensive, otherwise, it would have been perfect."

Mengjing Rainbow Hotel (Kunming Station Huancheng South Road Subway Station)
9.4 (3,900 reviews)

Mengjing Rainbow Hotel (Kunming Station Huancheng South Road Subway Station) ★★★

📍 Opposite Donghang Touzi, No. 202 Chuncheng Road (Yunnan International Building), Guandu District, Kunming

"The hotel's location is great, making it convenient to get anywhere. However! **Cleanliness:** When I entered the room, there was a strong smell of smoke. I'm not sure if the sheets were changed, as I felt itchy while sleeping. **Facilities:** Outdated. **Environment:** The soundproofing is very poor. I could clearly hear people talking outside until two in the morning (I was staying on the side facing the parking lot). When staying at a hotel, all I ask for is a good night's sleep, and both the cleanliness and soundproofing were lacking."

Bolanting Hotel (Kunming Changshui International Airport)

"I found this hotel on Ctrip at the last minute, and I got lucky! The hotel is very new and clean. The linens and disposable toiletries are of good quality. They offer free airport and subway transfers, which is very convenient. The staff and drivers are all very friendly. The only minor downsides are that there's no coffee machine at breakfast, and the breakfast selection isn't very wide and is the same every day. However, it's still filling, and compared to other budget hotels, it's quite good. Definitely recommended!"

LIRIDE RED HOTEL Hotels in Kunming

LIRIDE RED HOTEL

"Great location near Cuihu Park. The breakfast was good, and they even offered rice noodle supper. The rooftop views were lovely. My only minor complaint is that the bathroom light was a motion sensor, which was a bit disruptive at night if someone needed to get up."

GreenTree Eastern Hotel (Chongqing Baiyun Road Tongde Plaza) Hotels in Kunming

"Highly recommended! The lady at the front desk was super efficient and friendly, and she proactively told us all about the hotel's facilities. The housekeeping staff were also very prompt with their service, whether it was refilling items or quickly solving any issues. For instance, when they noticed a guest coughing, they even offered chrysanthemum tea! The hotel itself is clean, spacious, and bright, with convenient amenities. The service is simply outstanding – warm, efficient, and they pretty much cater to every request. Plus, the room rates are affordable, and parking is free. I was very satisfied with my stay!"

G  MANSION HOTEL Hotels in Kunming

G MANSION HOTEL

"Our stay was wonderful! The room was fully equipped with smart voice control for everything. We especially appreciated the fridge and water dispenser, which made getting hot water really convenient. The afternoon tea was also lovely, my mom really enjoyed it. When we needed something, the front desk sent a robot to deliver it right to our door, which was super quick and handy. Breakfast was delicious too; I had the tofu pudding and rice noodles for two days straight! The staff were very welcoming and even gave us a souvenir when we left. We also tried the Thai massage on the ninth floor, which was incredibly relaxing. We're definitely planning to stay here again on our next visit!"

Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel Hotels in Kunming

Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel

"Having stayed in numerous five-star hotels, both domestic and international, this one definitely has its highlights, but also some noticeable flaws: 1) **Location:** Extremely convenient. It's super easy to get anywhere from here. 2) **Ambiance:** It's right across from Cuihu Park, with beautiful lotus flowers, playful squirrels, and egrets returning to their nests in the evening. The hotel is also right by the famous Huang Gong Dong Street, which attracts many people for photos. The hotel rooms are very quiet, but on Huang Gong Dong Street, there are many paid photography services that hog the spots, making it hard to get a good photo yourself. 3) **Service:** Excellent. Everyone greets guests proactively, and the housekeeping staff are particularly friendly and helpful. 4) **Cleanliness:** Acceptable. 5) **Breakfast:** Quite varied, and the staff were quick to clear used dishes. 6) **Facilities:** This is where the significant flaws lie. The hotel rooms don't have a separate shower, only a bathtub. The bathtub looks quite old, and the showerhead attached to it was completely dysfunctional – no matter how I adjusted it, the water flow was all wrong. I ended up having to shower under a few strong, erratic jets, feeling like I was showering under a fountain for two days – quite a traumatic experience! 😅 7) **Overall:** If they could just replace that faulty showerhead with one that works properly, I would definitely stay here again. Also, while most five-star hotels don't typically have self-service laundry rooms, many guests here are tourists. Having a self-service laundry facility would be a huge plus!"

City Comfort Inn (Kunming Old Town by Nanping Pedestrian Street)

"Conveniently located with clean rooms. This is my second time staying here, and even though I had a slight delay checking out today, the staff was very understanding and accommodating. Thumbs up! I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in town. Wishing the hotel great success!"

Kunming Changshui International Airport Shop Hotels in Kunming

Kunming Changshui International Airport Shop

"I was on a business trip in Yunnan and had a layover at Kunming Changshui Airport when I stumbled upon the City Mark Hotel, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Its proximity to the airport is fantastic – less than six kilometers away. We only found out upon arrival that the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service. After a quick call, a car was there to pick us up within ten minutes, which was incredibly convenient. The hotel service is excellent, with complimentary tea, drinks, and even ice cream available in the lobby. The staff were warm and attentive, and they even upgraded our room when we checked in. The room itself was spacious, spotless, and equipped with smart amenities. The surrounding area also has plenty of conveniences, from authentic Yunnan restaurants to souvenir shops. Overall, it’s great value for money! I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I fly through Kunming."

"We only stayed here for about 4 hours while waiting for our early morning train to Lijiang, so we did not expect too much in terms of details or facilities. However, for such an affordable price and a location very close to the railway station, we were both very satisfied with our stay. The room type we selected did not have a window, and the space felt quite small and a little uncomfortable. It may not be suitable for guests with a lot of luggage"
