Moonlight Courtyard Hotel (Kunming Nanping Street and Near the train station)
9.7 (4,305 reviews)

Moonlight Courtyard Hotel (Kunming Nanping Street and Near the train station) ★★★★

📍 No. 1 Courtyard, North Arcade, Dongxisita Pedestrian Street, Xishan District, Kunming

"This hotel is a hidden gem, offering peace and quiet right between the East and West Pagodas, and next to Jinri Building. The location is absolutely fantastic, with a huge tree providing shade right at the entrance. There are plenty of dining options nearby, which is very convenient. The hotel's design is elegant, and you can see the unique and thoughtful touches everywhere – in the rooms, lobby, and restaurant. I regret not taking more photos! We ended up staying an extra night in Kunming due to a cancelled flight and booked this hotel on a whim, and it was a delightful surprise. The front desk staff were incredibly warm, proactive, and attentive. While we were out sightseeing during the day, they proactively moved our stored luggage to our room. They even brought the afternoon tea we missed directly to our room. For breakfast, we chose the Crossing the Bridge Noodles, and the broth was incredibly fresh and delicious – honestly, better than the mushroom hotpot we'd had for the past few days."

"I had a great time at this hotel. Staff are very friendly. There’s a play area that my kids can play at near the breakfast area at the lobby. They even provided my kids with kids slippers and tooth brushes. The hotel is strategically located at Nanping Street near to many tourist spots. Nancheng Mosque is about 11mins away by foot and there is a halal restaurant there. There’s also a washer and dryer that guests can use at the hotel. All in all, I have no complaints. Would recommend the hotel to families."

All the staff were incredibly friendly. Whether it was checking in at the front desk, having breakfast in the morning, or encountering housekeeping staff, everyone would stop and greet me politely. It felt like a very professionally managed hotel! I also have to commend the location – right in the city center, making it easy to get anywhere! I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Kunming!"

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 🙃."

You don't even need to leave your room to experience the freedom of a hot spring. The hotel's overall environment is also very luxurious, completely meeting 5-star standards. Service Details: 1. The breakfast selection was rich, and for two consecutive days, the dishes were completely different, which shows great thoughtfulness. 2. They even provided two different flavors of toothpaste with the toiletries. 3. When checking out, not only did they give us a souvenir, but knowing we were driving, they specially prepared a car air freshener. Fully satisfied, 190%!"

Kunming Papuman PAPMAN (Xishan Wanda)

"After a week-long trip to Xishuangbanna, I came to Kunming hoping to extend my holiday, looking for a relaxing and comfortable hotel. That's why I chose Paperman. What first caught my eye was its ranking as the number one designer hotel in Kunming. It's about a 15-minute taxi ride from Kunming Station, so the transportation is very convenient. On the morning of my check-in, the hotel called me, but I missed the call. However, upon arrival, the staff immediately introduced the hotel's facilities and services and proactively upgraded my room type and offered a welcome flower gift, which was incredibly thoughtful. The hotel facilities are excellent, comparable to a five-star hotel. The room's amenities and decor are fantastic, and it's exceptionally clean. There's a complimentary mini-bar, a Dyson hairdryer, and a big-brand speaker. The hotel's breakfast, afternoon tea, and late-night snacks offer a rich, healthy, and exquisite selection of dishes. The hotel's most famous feature is the rooftop infinity pool, which offers panoramic views of Kunming, with the Kunming Twin Towers directly opposite. The concierge thoughtfully mentioned that I could book a professional travel photoshoot in advance, making it incredibly good value for money. Overall, the hotel is absolutely fantastic! I'm completely won over! I will definitely choose Paperman again on my next visit to Kunming! The hotel service is truly exceptional and attentive! Every time I left my room, hotel staff would press the elevator for me, and upon checkout, they even gave me a souvenir tea gift and helped carry my luggage to the car waiting downstairs."

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

"The hotel's location is excellent; a food street is right downstairs, and it's connected to Baisheng Plaza, Kunming Old Street, Nanqiang Night Market, and Taiwan Snack Street, which is super convenient. The hotel opened in 2025, so the facilities are relatively new, and the service is exceptionally attentive. Although the gym is a bit small, it has everything you need!
