Ibis Styles Hotel (Kunming Nanping Pedestrian Street) ★★★

📍 6th Floor, Lvdao Commercial Center, No. 418 Qingnian Road, Wuhua District, Kunming

"Overall Impression Our stay provided a generally pleasant experience, highlighted by the generous hospitality of the team and an exceptionally convenient location. While a few aspects of the room ambiance could be slightly enhanced, the property offers wonderful convenience for travelers exploring the area. Service & Hospitality The hotel staff were exceptionally accommodating throughout our stay. Upon our arrival, the team thoughtfully offered us a complimentary room upgrade to accommodations with windows. Furthermore, when we requested a late check-out, the staff graciously facilitated our request without any hesitation, which made our departure delightfully stress-free. Room & Amenities The room was impressively spacious, impeccably clean, and maintained to a very neat standard. The amenities provided met all our practical needs for a comfortable stay. While the room leaned towards a somewhat dim atmosphere—partly because the windows were either tinted or positioned facing an adjacent wall—the overall cleanliness and generous layout made for a restful retreat. Location & Accessibility The property truly shines in its location. It fully delivers on its promise of proximity to major local attractions and is just a short stroll away from the Nanping Pedestrian Street, making daily sight-seeing and dining remarkably effortless"

FourPoints by Sheraton Kunming City Centre Hotel
9.6 (6,464 reviews)

FourPoints by Sheraton Kunming City Centre Hotel ★★★★★

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

"This newly opened downtown hotel, built in 2025, is a gem! It's just a 3-minute walk to Kunming Old Street, Shuncheng, and Jinma Biji Archway. Plus, there are tons of amazing food options nearby, making it the perfect base for any food-loving adventurer. The entire room features smart controls, and the bedding is incredibly comfortable. While the hairdryer isn't a Dyson, the Laifen is still excellent. We even received complimentary welcome fruit upon arrival, and the minibar is entirely free. The concierge was proactive in helping with our luggage, and the views from our 28th-floor room, overlooking the city lights at night, were stunning. The 24-hour gym is a huge plus, allowing me to work out whenever I wanted – a truly thoughtful amenity. Many star-rated hotels are still stuck with traditional satellite TV, so it was a delight to find that this one offers screen mirroring that works seamlessly. The smart entertainment system is a standout feature, and I give it a big thumbs up! (*≧∪≦)👍🏻 Now, let's talk about breakfast: The selection of Chinese and Western dishes is extensive, including many authentic Yunnan specialties. The rare pea flour, kumiss, five-color glutinous rice, and flower cakes were all outstanding and delicious. My only regret is not getting to try the Eggs Benedict – a slight disappointment. The restaurant service was exceptional. The staff were friendly and attentive, proactively guiding us to our table. They even offered coffee to go, cleared plates promptly, and provided warm and thorough service throughout. This truly enhanced my experience. Justin Liu deserves a special mention for his proactive enthusiasm and prompt responses. Five stars!"

Pumi Wenlin Panoramic Vacation Apartment (Dianchi Lake)

"Very suitable for a place to be in a daze. I used to know the whale island. I was surprised to find it here. I was the first choice for short-term travel. I like the blues at 8 o'clock in the hotel, the 180-degree window view, it just rained, Miss Sister sent a cup of 🍸 up, sitting on the terrace to taste wine 🍷 listen to the rain, don't be too beautiful There is a super-esthetic cafe downstairs, high-end and delicious coffee ☕️ You can have a little swipe at the bar at night. Sit and watch the sunset until the blues It was so relaxing for me, a man who's been spinning on the construction site I like the aesthetics of the hotel, I can see that I am serious about doing the hotel business. From the front desk lady to our logistics, I feel very good. The service is also great The coffee hotel that keeps shooting, very good 👍 Feeling like Dali Lijiang Ancient Town 😃"

"Luck is bursting, far exceeding expectations, the family praised 👍 for the good location, the old villa area next to Dianchi Lake, the taxi can be directly located at the entrance of the store, and the Haitang Dam is a minute walk. The homestay is decorated by the boss and lives in self-occupation, and the quality is good and the aesthetic is online. The bedding is exquisite, specially equipped with Atour's memory cotton pillows, the mattress is moderately hard and soft, the room is small but there is a balcony, there is an open-air balcony in Kunming, and the door does not want to go out. , On the day I left, I had tea in the hall and I met a little squirrel who came to steal pomegranates. 🐿️ Special fate, will come again 😊"

Kunming Kasion Hotel

"Top hotel that really fulfils the 5 stars it carries. Staff very friendly but English proficiency is rather mixed. Super clean and nice new spacious rooms. You can even wash and dry laundry for free on the third floor - they provide detergent, machines and ironing stuff. The location is medium central, to the sights of the city it's quite far (at least 20min DiDi or 50min bus, metro station is 35 mins by foot away). On the other hand, the hotel is right next to the Yunnan Mushrooms Heritage street with dozens of amazing hotpot restaurants. Also there's an old street about 300m away. So there's plenty to do around the hotel, it's just a bit long to get anywhere else."

Kunming Papuman PAPMAN (Xishan Wanda)

"Five-star praise goes to the duty manager and all the staff at the front desk. The service was impeccable, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic. The ingredients for the late-night snack were all fresh, and the taste was spot on. The only minor drawback is that it's located in a commercial/residential building, so you have to share elevators with many people, but this was more than compensated for by the guesthouse's excellent service. The owner truly puts their heart into running this place."

Kunming Shangri-La Hotel Hotels in Kunming

Kunming Shangri-La Hotel

"The room was very cozy, and I especially loved the tea set-up – it's perfect for tea lovers. During this trip, Manager Kristin, Butler Bonnie, Front Desk Liam, and Concierge Henry all provided exceptional service. I really enjoyed the "Ming Ju" tea experience; the Pu-erh tea was delicious. The tea tasting service was excellent. The welcome was warm, with smiling service throughout, and very thoughtful and attentive. I also appreciated the friendly and welcoming local residents. We visited Shilin, Mile, the Red Brick House, and many beautiful cafes. It's a great place for a vacation!"

Breakfast offered a rich variety of options, including rice noodles, pastries, and fruits, all of which tasted great.

"The staff here are very nice. The cleanliness and amenities are very good. Very close by to the airport. The airport shuttle is also very convenient for a four-star hotel,It’s better than a lot of the five star hotels I stayed at. The room was very spacious on the 17th floor.

Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel Hotels in Kunming

Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel

"The hotel is located near Cuihu Lake, offering beautiful surroundings, and it's also very close to the popular '网红路' (influencer street) which is great for night photos. My only minor complaint is that the rooms don't have a shower stall, only a bathtub, which can be slippery and isn't ideal for older guests. I hope this established five-star hotel can address this in the future."

"I arrived at the airport late the night before, but the hotel's pick-up service was perfectly arranged. The driver was already waiting, and even proactively helped with my luggage, completely saving me the hassle of finding a taxi in the middle of the night. Upon arrival, front desk staff member #6 was incredibly friendly and polite, and check-in was very efficient. She also thoughtfully informed me of all the important details. After a long and tiring journey, the warm and thoughtful service from the staff made me feel so much better, and the room environment was also excellent. The overall service was impeccable, I highly recommend this hotel! It will definitely be my first choice next time I visit Kunming!"

"Wonderful location. But difficult to find for first timer especially at night, as not v close to mainroad. Chinese decorations within the hotel are brilliant. This is more of a club rather than hotel. So I can accept that amenities are not fully equipped. They only provide breakfast, no lunch nor dinner."

"An excellent stay! The staff were the friendliest we’ve encountered in China—always smiling, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. The hotel is spotless, beautifully designed, and feels modern and comfortable. The only downside is that it’s quite far from the city center, so getting to the main attractions takes some time. Other than that, I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again."

I was surprised to find such well-equipped accommodations in this area. The rooms had smart voice control, the facilities were great, and the space was spacious. The tofu skin with pork was delicious! They even had a tea bar and a book bar – that was a pleasant surprise! The service was excellent; I hope they maintain that level of service.
