Hotels in Xishan District, Kunming

Very lovely hotel, situated right nearby of the old town area. It took us 10 mins walk from the night streets. The hotel itself has amazing traditional decoration. Room is clean and well-equipped with amenities. The breakfast is really delicious, big portion, and the reception made sure we choose our breakfast once we checked in. There are also some activities like welcome drink, local tea testing and mid-night nourishing soup. The only downside is that the hotel doesn’t have a lift, so may need to consider if you have elderly guests. The highest rooms are on the 2nd floor. Highly recommended!

Having traveled to over 20 countries, this is my first time reviewing an accommodation. When you're on the road, you often miss home. But not here! We booked the Loft, with a living room on the first floor and a bedroom on the second, it felt just like home. We enjoyed tea daily, and the hotel even provided complimentary afternoon tea. The 24-hour butler service was excellent, always available and responsive. They thoughtfully prepared a travel guide for us. The daily breakfast was a delicious mix of Chinese and Western options! We will definitely be back.

I chose InterContinental Kunming, which has been open for over ten years, because of its location by Dian Lake. It's about a ten-minute walk to the lake, and the surrounding area is very quiet. Old doesn't necessarily mean outdated. The lobby's central axis symmetrical layout gives off a strong and stable aura. The staff are present and attentive without being overly intrusive. This sense of space and appropriate discretion is something many trendy 'influencer' hotels struggle to provide. The hotel's garden area is quite large, with palm and coconut trees giving it a Southeast Asian resort feel. There were even fragrant osmanthus flowers in bloom. The hotel's breakfast spread is very rich, with many Kunming specialties. I loved the rice noodles, each bowl freshly cooked in a copper pot, with both red broth and chicken broth options, catering to both strong and light palates. The 'posu bao' (flaky steamed bun), sticky rice, and the hotel's homemade flower cakes and Yunnan ham biscuits were just as good as, if not better than, those from famous brands outside. There was also yogurt from Gejiu, and you could tell by the taste that the ingredients were pure! I stayed for a week and didn't get tired of breakfast. Hope to see you again next time!

Facilities: A bit old, but generally pretty good. The bed is neither too soft nor too hard. The duvet is fine with the AC on, but it can get a bit warm without it, given Kunming's large temperature variations. There's a small garden and an outdoor hot tub, but apparently it's not usable. It's very photogenic though! The living room and bedroom are separate, which is great for families or multiple families staying together as you can chat comfortably. There are also seating areas in the room corridors where you can relax and talk. Being inside the scenic area, the courtyard rooms are quiet. Other room types might be a bit noisier. At midday, it can feel quite bustling outside with traffic and vendors calling out. The courtyard suites, however, are not noisy at all. The location is in the Jinbi area, not far from Nanping Old Street. Just cross a road and walk through Nanping Hui, and you're in a commercial area. For food and drinks, there are snacks right downstairs, though not many main courses. I think the options across the street are better. The hotel breakfast is à la carte and needs to be ordered a day in advance. We tried it one day, but after that, we opted for takeout or ate out. The hotel service is quite good. They have a butler service, and the staff's attitude is very pleasant. When we had a delay, they helped us coordinate a later checkout. For transport, since it's within the scenic area, you'll probably need to walk a bit after getting off the car. However, you can also have your car drive to the parking lot, and there's an elevator near the exit that takes you up.

Yitel Premium is situated in a fantastic location in Kunming! Super close to Old Street where you can find tons of food, shopping, teas & coffees galore! The hotel was lovely - super comfortable bed, good smelling bathroom amenities, and complimentary water. We used the laundry facility and it was very useful. Breakfast options were a bit limited, but still everything we ate was delicious. This hotel's location makes it prime real estate, I highly recommend!!

This is indeed a courtyard hotel, and it's incredibly quiet. As soon as you enter, there's a bar with a fridge, and the TV is huge, with seamless screen mirroring from my phone. The wet and dry areas are completely separate: the washbasin, shower, and toilet are all in individual sections. The mattress is just right, not too soft or too firm, and there's a choice of regular pillows and memory foam pillows, so I slept very comfortably. There was a stack of bottled water on the table by the door, which was very convenient to grab on the way out. Plus, the staff's service attitude was excellent. All in all, I'm very satisfied!

My stay at Sofitel Kunming was fantastic. The room was clean and tidy, making for a comfortable and relaxing stay, with great attention to detail in terms of cleanliness. The lobby was spacious and grand, with elegant French decor that was truly impressive. All the hotel staff were warm and proactive in their service. Mia, in particular, followed up throughout our stay, providing attentive and thoughtful service, proactively understanding our needs and promptly helping to resolve any issues. Check-in and check-out processes were efficient, with no tedious waiting. Both the hotel's facilities and service were excellent, making for a very pleasant and comfortable experience. I would definitely come back again if I have the chance.

The hotel room was cleaned very clean, no smell, the bed was very comfortable, the front desk service was intimate, the check-in was very fast, the staff was gentle and polite, the hotel was quiet, the facilities were complete, and the travel was convenient. The overall stay experience is very good, cost-effective, highly recommended.

This hotel completely exceeded my expectations! We chose the loft family duplex room and it was an amazing surprise – the two-story layout was spacious, and the kids' bedding was adorable and soft. The view from the window was superb, looking out directly onto a classical Chinese garden, full of lush greenery that was incredibly soothing. The lobby bar and library/lounge area were exquisitely designed, with clean and stylish details, and the accompanying tableware was neat and complete. The service was thoughtful and meticulous, and the common areas were elegantly decorated, blending traditional Chinese charm with modern simplicity. It's perfect for both family trips and short-term getaways. Our entire stay was comfortable and relaxing; I highly recommend staying here when you visit Kunming!

Great hotel, super clean and modern rooms that were very well equipped with anything you could need. They have outside gardens on each floor and beautiful courtyards to hmrest when you want a break from being out all day. The breakfast is delicious, a good selection of local and western items. Location was very cool next to the night market so plenty of fun places to have meals and despite the market being there all day, the rooms were extremely quiet. Also very easy and quick (under 20 mins) to get a didi to Kunming station.
