Nostalgia S Hotel(Kunming Dongfeng Square)

10/10 Excellent

"Very well organised and thoughtful hotel. It provides free simple take away breakfast 5am-7am if going out early and free simple afternoon tea and supper 9-11pm everyday. Some snacks and drinks are free complimentary inside the room. The staff is very helpful and polite. One thing needs improvement is the drying machine inside the freezer laundry room is extremely slow. Surprisingly it takes more than 10 hours to dry clothing."

Holiday Inn Kunming City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Staffs and Mangers are very nice, when I checked in, they processed very efficiently. The room is very clean, they even provide shoe mitt. Breakfast is excellent, many delicious dashes, all you can eat buffet. The hotel located in center of Kunming, Metro is nearby, a luxury shopping center just a few minutes walking distance, very convenient for shopping and fun. There is Tuo Dong sports complex nearby, I did my morning run over-there. Very happy experience in this hotel, I will definitely go back to it again, strongly recommended to everyone."

Grand Park Kunming

8/10 Good

"The hotel is right across the Green Lake. Traffic in Kunming was the worst I have ever seen in China, especially around the city center so be mindful how much time you need to go around places. Breakfast buffet was ok for the hotels in Kunming. When I arrived, the hotel told me the room type I booked ran out, so you better call them beforehand to make sure the room type you booked is available."

Holiday Inn Express Kunming Panlong by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a great find! It is very affordably priced with a good location in Kunming. It is within walking distance of a metro station. The main negative feature was the surprisingly dirty carpets in the hallways for the rooms. The lobby area and most common area were all pristine. But, when we got off the elevator to go our room, which was also clean, I was a bit shocked to see carpeting that hadn’t been cleaned in a long time, with dirt stains all over the carpet. Another negative feature was the maintenance of the bathroom in our room. It was clean, but the paint was peeling on some sections, and the caulking around the shower door was unsightly, and not well done. On the positive side, the staff members were very friendly and exceptionally helpful, and I was very pleased with their responsiveness to my requests. The buffet breakfast was also quite well done, with a variety of Chinese food selections including steamed buns, dumplings, meats with vegetables, salad, porridges, fried eggs, breads to toast, fruit, juices, and noodles. It was a treat to eat breakfast each morning. The fitness center is very large with a lot of well-maintained equipment to use. A laundry facility is available with free washers and dryers, and laundry soap is provided as well, free of charge. I hope to return to Kunming, and will definitely stay here again!"
