9.6 (6,790 reviews)

Kunming Huagu Hotel (Changshui International Airport Platinum Port Modern Plaza Store) ★★★★

📍 1st Floor, No. 1009, Building 1, Bogang Modern Plaza, Konggang Avenue, Guandu District, Kunming

"I had a great rest. There are also good restaurants next to the hotel. The hotel is very clean and well-equipped, offering excellent value for money. Employee #5 provided excellent service, dropping me off at the airport in the morning. The driver also helped with my luggage. We departed on time, and every aspect of my experience was great."

KUN MING UPLAND INTERNATIONAL YOUTH  HOSTEL
9.2 (2,303 reviews)

KUN MING UPLAND INTERNATIONAL YOUTH HOSTEL ★★★

📍 No. 92 Huashan West Road, Wuhua District, Kunming

"Overall, it was a good stay. The location is excellent, the bed was comfortable, and the blackout curtains worked well. The only minor issue was that the luggage storage area was a bit damp, but it didn't really bother me. Do note that you'll have to climb a few stairs to get to your room, which might be a bit inconvenient if you have heavy luggage."

Best Yue Hang Hotel
9.0 (4,775 reviews)

Best Yue Hang Hotel ★★★★

📍 Airport North Road, Kunming Changshui International Airport, Yunnan, Guandu District, Kunming

"This is an older hotel, but its main advantage is its proximity to the airport and the shuttle service. It's a good option for temporary layovers or red-eye flights. You can call a bit in advance to request the shuttle. If you wait until you arrive to call, you'll be standing in the cold for over ten minutes."

Moonlight Courtyard Hotel (Kunming Nanping Street and Near the train station)
9.7 (4,304 reviews)

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

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

"The room was clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space and a lovely ambiance. The 'Guoqiao Mixian' (cross-the-bridge noodles) for breakfast was delicious. It's only a 10-minute walk to Jinma Biji Archway, and a 10-minute taxi ride to Daguan Park."

Kunming Kasion Hotel
9.6 (2,031 reviews)

Kunming Kasion Hotel ★★★★★

📍 No. 1186 Guomao Road, Guandu District, Kunming

"The design is very photogenic, great for social media. They have a lot of high-quality waterjet marble inlays, which looks really upscale. We even got a free room upgrade! Our room overlooked a lively square with singing and dancing, but the soundproof windows were excellent. I highly recommend their ginger shampoo, it's fantastic. Breakfast in that European-style setting was truly a delightful experience."

Kunming Changshui International Airport Rezen Hotel
9.5 (5,285 reviews)

Kunming Changshui International Airport Rezen Hotel ★★★★

📍 No. 170, Dabanqiao Development Zone, Changshui Subdistrict, Dianzhong New Area, Guandu District, Kunming

"🚗: The hotel offers airport transfer, just book in advance. We had an early 6 AM departure, and the front desk proactively called us around 5:40 AM to remind us. The car was a small van. 🍽️: We didn't have a chance to try the late-night dining, but the hotel is located in town, so we could order takeout and had plenty of food options. 🎁: The room came with disposable face towels, small snacks, an air purifier, and there was even water available for guests in the hallway. Thoughtful touches everywhere. Great value for money. Definitely recommend."

Grand Park Kunming
9.4 (6,467 reviews)

Grand Park Kunming ★★★★★

📍 No. 20 Honghua Bridge, Wuhua District, Kunming

"Wonderful stay and great staff, but gym was a bit weird and some of the amenities seemed not often used. However the roo. Was amazing and the location is fantastic. Staff were helpful and curious!"

Central Ananas Hotel Kunming Old Street & Green Lake
9.7 (200 reviews)

Central Ananas Hotel Kunming Old Street & Green Lake ★★★★

📍 No. 87, Dongfeng West Road, Wuhua District, Kunming

"Great location, about a ten-minute walk from Kunming Old Street, right in the city center with convenient transportation. The room is very new and the amenities are excellent. Despite being a bit small, my personal experience felt on par with a five-star hotel. The hotel hallways smell lovely. Since it's still in its trial operation phase, the breakfast selection isn't very extensive, otherwise, it would have been perfect."

HYATT PLACE KUNMING SOUTH RAILWAY STATION
9.4 (1,437 reviews)

HYATT PLACE KUNMING SOUTH RAILWAY STATION ★★★★

📍 No. 8 Qinghe Road, Luolong Subdistrict, Chenggong District, Kunming

"I stayed here for a night near the South Station as a stopover for Mile. The hotel offers good value for money, is convenient and fast, and even provides a shuttle directly to the South Station. I purchased a package that included lunch. The restaurant environment and service were decent, but the ingredients were a bit disappointing. The pork had a very strong ***** smell, and the pigeon tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave. After eating, I had diarrhea several times that afternoon."

Kunming Kasion Hotel ★★★★★
"This was my second stay at this hotel during this trip. After spending a few days in Tengchong from Kunming, I didn't hesitate to choose this place again on my return. What first drew me back was their breakfast. They offer a complete spread of Kunming specialties, and the taste is absolutely fantastic, especially the chicken soup rice noodles and Ersi, the crispy tofu (baojiang doufu), and the fried eggs with flowers..."

"They offer complimentary late-night snacks and local Yunnan specialty cookies as a welcome gift. I've stayed here multiple times, and even when I arrive very late, their airport pick-up service is always so thoughtful. It's my top choice for late arrivals in Kunming or for a layover near the airport."
