LIRIDE RED HOTEL

LIRIDE RED HOTEL

📍 No. 53, Yuantong Street, Wuhua District, Kunming
★★★★ 9.5 (8,434 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."

"Conveniently located about 10 min walk from Kunming railway station, the hotel was a great stay. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. I also appreciate the late check out at 2 pm which was very convenient since my flight was later that night. There was easy access to food n plenty of nearby restaurants. I would definitely stay here again."

PARK WINS High Altitude View Hotel(Wanda Plaza Kunming Railway Station Store)

📍 29th Floor, Building 3, Runcheng Fourth Avenue, Qianwei Subdistrict, Xishan District, Kunming
★★★★ 9.6 (2,870 reviews)

"Absolutely wonderful stay – they truly care about their guests I stayed at PARK WINS for my first two nights in Kunming and was blown away by the service. Early check‑in & breakfast on day 1: Our red‑eye flight from Jakarta arrived very early in the morning. We were exhausted, but the front desk not only let us check in hours before the official time, they also allowed us to have breakfast right away. That simple kindness made a huge difference. The bed: Very comfortable hotel beds. Perfect after a long flight. Taobao delivery help: We had a package delivered to the hotel before we arrived, but there was an issue with the delivery. The staff went above and beyond to help us solve the Taobao problem, tracked everything down and helped us call the delivery guy. We were so grateful for their patience and professionalism. Location: not far from train station. Around 20-minute didi drive to Kunming old street Super fast responses: Every request we made – extra water, directions, travel tips – was answered within minutes."

Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel

Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel

📍 No. 6, Cuihu South Road, Wuhua District, Kunming
★★★★★ 9.4 (4,108 reviews)

"The room is already small, and they've put in an oversized TV cabinet, which takes up a huge amount of space! The decor has an old-fashioned feel, and the facilities are a bit dated. Most guests are 35+, so it's not really a family-friendly hotel; I wouldn't recommend it if you're traveling with kids. The service attitude is good. I bought breakfast vouchers online, which made it quite a good deal, but the breakfast itself was nothing special, just average. There's no self-service laundry room, and the air conditioning is noisy. The absolute advantage is that Cuihu Park is right across the street, the surrounding environment is elegant, peaceful, and comfortable, and several cultural attractions are nearby, making the location extremely convenient."

YUNSHUIYI HOTEL Hotels in Kunming

YUNSHUIYI HOTEL

"Finally found a pet-friendly private soup homestay in Kunming! Navigation is direct, and the city takes more than 30 minutes to take a taxi. It is recommended to drive by car. We booked a big bed room with independent private soup, and the yard was very comfortable to soak in the starry sky. The homestay has a super beautiful mountain view pool and a large lawn. The photos are very good. If you bring a dog, the hairy children can run crazy (remember to take a rope to pick up the shit bag). The breakfast is quite complete, the eggs are steamed, corn sweet potatoes, roasted wheat, and the freshly cooked small pot of rice noodles. The homestay is very close to Hama. It takes 8 minutes to drive. In the afternoon, I go to eat a mutton hot pot and buy some fruit. I come back to soak in a private soup. Don't be too comfortable. The homestay can also barbecue on the lawn and have KTV to make an appointment. The overall stay is comfortable, suitable for people with pets, friends gathering or want to be quiet and soak in a daze. It rained last night and slept well listening to the sound of the rain. When the sleep is not good, you should come to the mountains for one night. It is very healing."

"I absolutely loved the atmosphere of this hotel. Upon entering, there was a green lawn with lounge chairs where you could relax and unwind. It was quiet and comfortable to sleep in at night. The staff were very friendly, the room was clean and tidy, and the 8cm latex mattress was very comfortable. The amenities were complete, and the smart smart device was very useful. The hotel's location was also excellent, right across from the Haigeng Dam. Feeding seagulls was just a 1-minute walk away, and transportation was very convenient, with bus and subway stations nearby. There were mushroom hot pot restaurants, local Yunnan stir-fries, and barbecue and night markets in the evenings. It was a very pleasant stay."

Wyndham Garden KunMing PanLong Hotels in Kunming

Wyndham Garden KunMing PanLong

"The worst hotel experience we’ve ever had from a Wyndham. By far a terrible experience. This was the second night booked in the same hotel. (We booked separately as we weren’t sure of the length of our stay. It started when we returned. It appeared that the cleaners hadn’t touched the room. They made the bed and replaced the water. That’s all. No new toilet paper the coffee cups had not been washed and the room was generally dirty. I’ll give them a pass on that one because it was a weird 2 night kinda thing. HOWEVER I can’t forgive the food. NEVER eat here. The room service food was too oily and made my wife and I sick. The breakfast was very mid level but that’s not a problem. What’s a problem is finding maggots in the food… like… an actual maggot. I told the restaurant staff and they just said sorry and shrugged it off. They didn’t even change the pot of contaminated food. I’m sure after we left they just added the same spoon back to the pot and kept on serving it. NEVER eat here. There’s a McDonald’s across the street and ******* delivers. Save the headache. Book with no meals"

The room was clean, spacious, comfortable, and well-designed, with good soundproofing. Upon check-in, you can choose the scent for your room's diffuser. Breakfast, afternoon tea, and late-night snacks are offered daily, but unfortunately, I was out and missed the afternoon tea. The 'Guoqiao Mixian' (Crossing-the-Bridge Noodles) for breakfast was delicious, and for the late-night snack, you could choose between wontons or 'Xiaoguo Mixian' (Small Pot Noodles). After checking in, you can visit the spa downstairs, which offers member prices, and the front desk can help with reservations."

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."

Generally most of the staffs here are professional and polite. I am very pleasantly happy with the services provided here. Food option is simple but enough. The rice noodle is quite nice though.

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."
