Mountain view Hotels in Kunming

This time I stayed here after being at the convention center branch, and the difference is truly stark. While the Wanda Xishan store has good hardware, the soft services and management approach are frankly incomprehensible. There was construction going on downstairs, and they started working before 8 AM, making so much noise that it was impossible to rest. The front desk kept emphasizing that they had given us a free room upgrade during check-in. But what's the point of such an 'upgrade' if the upgraded room is still incredibly noisy? If there were quiet rooms facing other directions, even if it meant paying a difference, the front desk should have proactively explained and offered options, instead of using a supposed 'upgrade' to gloss over the core accommodation experience. The concierge service was also completely unnoticeable, a far cry from the convention center branch where the concierge recognized my room at a glance and proactively resolved issues with attention to detail. The soft services at the Wanda store are truly disappointing; the experience was extremely poor.

This is a really great hotel. Both the room facilities and the hotel amenities are excellent, and the breakfast is good too. The pool is very clean and beautiful. I participated in both the yoga and meditation classes, and I highly recommend them. It was a perfect start to my trip. Yuyuan Garden is right across the street. I suggest going for a walk there in the morning before the tourists arrive; it's very peaceful. Given all the services the hotel offers, the price offers incredibly good value for money. The only thing that needs improvement is the complimentary afternoon tea; it didn't come with any tea or coffee, just a plate of fruits and pastries that seemed like they belonged to breakfast. That was a bit disappointing.

The environment is beautiful, and the hotel has a very stylish design with a private garden feel. The service was attentive and meticulous, and the breakfast was rich and delicious. It felt as warm as spring. Kunming is also known as the Spring City, and this trip was wonderfully warm, truly a home away from home.

✈️ Found a hidden gem hotel during my layover at Kunming Changshui Airport: Manju Hotel🏨 I originally booked a superior king room✨, but to my surprise, the front desk gave me a free upgrade to a deluxe king room upon arrival. The large floor-to-ceiling window was a delightful surprise. Outside, there was a vast lawn campsite, and in the distance, continuous mountain ranges. Watching the clouds in the sky at sunset created an incredible ambiance 🌄. The room was spacious, with a simple yet high-end decor, clean, and brand new. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the overall environment was very quiet. After a long journey, I could finally get some good rest. The hotel is located near Changshui Airport, making it perfect for early morning flights, late arrivals, or overnight layovers. The service was attentive and exceeded my expectations. If you're transiting through Kunming, you can confidently choose this hotel ✅.

Perfect for a family trip! Facilities: The room has a king-sized bed (1.8m) and a queen-sized bed (1.5m), plus self-service laundry. Easily accommodates a family of three, no more cramped sleeping or tedious laundry. Hygiene: Towels, bathrobes, disposable slippers, and paper cups are all sealed, so you can use them with peace of mind. Food: The breakfast quality is good. While the variety isn't extensive, everything tastes great. Especially the freshly made rice noodles (delicious sauce) and the flavorful fried rice noodles.

I arrived at Changshui International Airport late at 2:15 a.m. I called the hotel’s customer service to request an airport pickup. They responded quickly, and the driver arrived about 10 minutes after the booking was confirmed. The room was spacious, but it had a slight smell because it was a smoking room, even though I had requested a non-smoking room during booking. The next morning, I had breakfast, which was good, and we departed from the hotel to the airport at 8:00 am sharp. Overall it was a good stay, staffs are friendly and helpful.

We are Americans from Hong Kong and traveled to Kunming for our Easter holiday. The positives of this hotel: 1. it was beautiful. The design and furnishings were very well done and the room itself was exceptionally clean. 2. The owners were so kind. We arrived way after the tea time hour, but they still provided our family with cappuccinos and fresh fruit, free of charge. Both were delicious and our children were so excited about the gourmet coffee art. 3. The mattress in the main bed area was very comfortable. Not a typical “hard” mattress like many hotels in China. Another bonus: it was actually a KING size, which we rarely see outside the US! 4. The breakfast was Chinese style and the rice noodles were delicious! The hotel also had a beautiful courtyard area to eat outside. A few items to be aware of: 1. although the hotel was in a neighborhood near the lake, the neighborhood itself was a bit strange. We could tell it was meant to be a beautiful, well-to-do neighborhood of modern villas, but more than half the neighborhood was unused and/or under construction so it wasn’t as lively feeling in the evening because it was so dark and desolate seeming. It was beautiful in the daylight though! 2. This is not a big hotel chain, just an independent boutique style hotel operating in one of these villas. 3. There are no optimal eating spots near the hotel. You have to take a 20-30 minute Didi (taxi) ride to the nearest area with a lot of restaurants. However, if you like street food, there is a street food carnival area about 10 minutes away via walking (walk north along boardwalk bordering the lake.) Overall, because of the kindness of the owners, the cleanliness and modernity, delicious breakfast, and comfortable mattress, we would definitely choose this hotel again for a one-night stopover.

This hotel is incredibly convenient for catching high-speed trains or using the subway. There are plenty of snack options nearby, and directly opposite the hotel is Bailongtan Park, which offers beautiful scenery and fresh air—perfect for an evening stroll after dinner. The service was excellent; they even helped us with our luggage because we had so much, and they recommended a fantastic mushroom hotpot restaurant. The room's cleanliness was exceptional, truly exceeding our expectations. We had a very comfortable stay and would definitely choose this place again if we have the chance!

The room is pretty decent and big. There's just a bit of noise as the room I got is next to a room being renovated, but it is only during the daytime. The best thing for me aside from the beautiful view, big room, and big bed is the smart toilet (I specifically check for places with bidet for my stays, and this place got a high-tech one). The hotel and cold water are also great. I appreciate that the toilet, sink, and shower are separate. The staff are all kind and helpful. I got an issue with my DiDi account and need to book one for my scheduled tour, and the staff on duty gladly helped me book one paying for it and said I could just settle the payment later, and even escorted me to the DiDi and let the driver know I don't speak the language and to get me safely to the location. The other staff also helped me with my WeChat, which helped a lot during my whole stay in China. The only con that I can say (if you are specific with location) is that it is not that close with the usual tourist spots like the Kunming Old Street, but it is close to the South Railway station (Kunmingnan). This is not a big con for me as I actually enjoyed the nearby malls and alleys. This is one of the good stuff here as well. It is on top of a mall, and just across the place is also a place to go shopping (for clothes, food, restaurants). There's a big supermarket/department store in the next door mall too. It also gets lively at night. Overall, personally, I find this a great place to stay in Kunming.

We stayed at Bai Nian Sheng Shi Hotel (Kunming Changshui International Airport) before our departure, and it was a good choice for a short stay. The hotel is located only about 10 minutes from Kunming Changshui International Airport. The road leading to the hotel was quite rough due to construction work during our stay. It appeared to be the main access road used by many vehicles, so don’t be surprised by the condition of the road. The room is a little old, but it was very clean, comfortable, and affordable. If you're looking for a place to rest for a few hours or stay overnight before an early morning or late-night flight, this hotel is an excellent option. The surrounding environment is peaceful and has a countryside feel. We enjoyed waking up to the sounds of chickens, the fresh air, and the pleasant fragrance of flowers, which was a nice contrast to the busy airport nearby. The hotel also provides complimentary bottled mineral water, and if you don't want to go out for a meal, you can enjoy a steamboat dinner at the hotel's own restaurant. The hotel owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. She provides a free airport shuttle service according to a scheduled timetable and even helped us carry our luggage, which made the transfer very convenient. Overall, Bai Nian Sheng Shi Hotel offers excellent value for money. The friendly hospitality, free airport shuttle, clean rooms, and peaceful surroundings make it a great choice for travelers needing a convenient stay near Kunming Airport.
