Great value for money, clean and comfortable, about 15 minutes' drive from the city center, beautiful hotel design, friendly staff (coffee and self-service tea break provided at check-in)
🥣 Breakfast is buffet style, not a lot of variety, but enough to eat. You can order rice noodles, salad, fruit, dim sum, porridge, etc. Tastes good. 👌🏻
🏋️ The hotel has a gym, but it's not very big. The laundry room is very good, with a washer-dryer combo, which is very convenient for travelers.
🎁 We had a designated room, so we got a free minibar on the first night (sparkling wine, soda, canned drinks). In addition, a small plate of fruit was provided every night. 🍉
🍰 The hotel's afternoon tea ☕🍰 is very good. The lobby on the first floor has a lot of greenery, which makes for great photos.
Overall, this hotel is comfortable. If you're driving, it's highly recommended. Parking is convenient and it's not too far to drive to the city center. There are also coffee shops, small supermarkets, and night markets near the hotel (if you're hungry at night, you can check it out, because stores in Kunming close relatively early, so if you can't find a restaurant at night, you can go to the night market next to the hotel).
