📍 No. 1 Dongfeng West Road, Wuhua District, Kunming
★★★★ 9.6 (4,907 reviews)

"Nice and clean hotel within the heart of Nanping Pedestrian Street. Breakfast spread is excellent. They even have Porridge supper. Many units of washing machines and dryers. Hotel can arrange packed breakfast for checked out before 7am. They even received parcels on my behalf. Will definitely stay there again the next time we are in Kunming."

Atour X Hotel Kunming Old Street Wuyi Road

📍 No. 96 Dongfeng West Road, Wuhua District, Kunming
★★★★ 9.5 (4,289 reviews)

"Room was a little compact but guess that’s because it’s in the old town and food and shopping are just downstairs, a minute’s walk away. The staff at the reception were very helpful and special mention to 余秋who helped us navigate the apps in mandarin. The laundromat provided is well equipped with laundry facilities. We will go back to the hotel if we return to Kunming. The breakfast spread is reasonable and there is also free supper (porridge to warm the body after coming back from the cold outside). Great local hotel."

"A good hotel close to Kunming station, you can walk to it. The room is huge, comfy bed. The soundproofing is not really good and some lifts are in a very bad state."

Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel

Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel

📍 No. 6, Cuihu South Road, Wuhua District, Kunming
★★★★★ 9.4 (4,078 reviews)

"This hotel is just across the street from Cuihu Lake, making it incredibly convenient for a stroll around the lake or a city walk through the surrounding alleys. Although it's 70 years old, it's well-maintained and doesn't feel dated at all. The pool is fantastic, I'd even describe it as sparkling clean. Breakfast was delicious, and the coffee was the best I had on this entire Yunnan trip. The front desk staff were warm and attentive. My only minor suggestion would be for the concierge to be a bit more proactive; I didn't see anyone when I arrived or left. Overall, I'm quite satisfied."

LIRIDE RED HOTEL

LIRIDE RED HOTEL

📍 No. 53, Yuantong Street, Wuhua District, Kunming
★★★★ 9.5 (8,420 reviews)

"So glad I chose this hotel! Liruide Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. Its location is fantastic, just a short walk from Cuihu Park (unlike many other hotels that claim to be near but are much further). There are also countless excellent restaurants and shops nearby, offering plenty of choices. The hotel itself is superb. Being on a high floor, the Sky Bar and restaurant on the 19th floor offer panoramic views of Cuihu Park and the beautiful cityscape of Kunming. If you book a lake view room, you can enjoy the stunning views of Cuihu Lake right from your room, which was a wonderful surprise. The hotel's decor, with its strong contrast of classic black, red, and grey, feels modern, stylish, and tasteful from the moment you step into the lobby. I especially loved the "ENJOY IT" neon signs in the lobby and restaurant; indeed, you can truly enjoy all the beauty Liruide has to offer. My room, though not large, was incredibly comfortable. The bedding ensured a good night's sleep. It was spotlessly clean, and the shower had great water pressure and hot water, draining super fast (many hotels struggle with drainage, but Liruide nailed this detail). The smart toilet was a nice bonus. While breakfast wasn't lavish, it featured local Yunnan specialties and was more than sufficient. A freshly made rice noodle roll with a generous topping of braised meat was the perfect way to start a day full of energy. What truly touched me was the friendly and thoughtful staff. After checking out, I had a video conference in the lobby, and a staff member specially lowered the lobby music volume for me and kindly brought a bottle of water. A huge thank you to Mr. Curry at the front desk for his meticulous service. Your kind and warm attention made us feel as comfortable and wonderful as if we were home, which is a rare treat for those of us constantly on the go. Oh, and the rose petal shortbread offered at check-in was absolutely delicious! The rich rose fragrance bloomed in my mouth with just the right touch of sweetness – unforgettable. For parking, you can drive onto the sidewalk, inform the front desk, and a staff member will immediately valet park your car. After a two-day stay, my experience was simply perfect. The next time I'm in Kunming for business, I'll definitely book here in advance to enjoy it all again."

Atour Hotel Kunming Nanping Pedestrian Street Old Street ★★★★
"We are writing this review while staying in this hotel now. We have traveled from Feilai Shangrila a 5-6 hours drive and a 4.5 hr train very tired and sleepy at 11pm but were greeted with good service at the reception and was happy that the reception staff said that she will UPGRADE us to a better room and also mentioned their best room. They also mentioned that they are doing this so that we can write them good review. We were so happy, but when we opened our so-called “better room” we were greeted with a room with an opened window and smelled like someone just smoked in the room. Though the room is big I checked what I have booked and realized that it is still the same size same type of room that I have booked no upgrade at all as mentioned by the staff. The so-called “smart toilet” can only flush in different way but no bidet washing function which are available in many other hotel. I was disappointed that if they mentioned there is an upgrade, then they should give me a better room but yet we were given a less than normal room that we have booked. We were disappointed and tired to ask to make any changes. By the way the toilet will flood after our shower. It’s mentioned in the features of this room to have rain shower but we are getting a spray shower that spray towards the glass door and cause water to flow toward the door making it slippery and dangerous. I will not recommend this hotel as there are many other better hotel that is cheaper yet offer better updated features in the room."

Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel ★★★★★
"This veteran hotel, opened in 1956, is one of the Ten Great Buildings dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It boasts an incredibly grand 12-meter high lobby, a rare sight these days. The unique 'airplane building' design is super photogenic. The service is impeccable, and both the Chinese and Western breakfast spreads are abundant. The location by Cuihu Lake is also incredibly convenient. Highly recommended!"

"The hotel's location is excellent, within walking distance to Cuihu Park for a stroll. The room design is modern and stylish, spacious and clean, with smart and convenient facilities. The transparent infinity pool on the top floor offers panoramic views of Cuihu Lake and the city skyline. The service is also warm and attentive, and the value for money is superb, which is why I extended my stay for another day."
