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

"This hotel is a hidden gem, offering peace and quiet right between the East and West Pagodas, and next to Jinri Building. The location is absolutely fantastic, with a huge tree providing shade right at the entrance. There are plenty of dining options nearby, which is very convenient. The hotel's design is elegant, and you can see the unique and thoughtful touches everywhere – in the rooms, lobby, and restaurant. I regret not taking more photos! We ended up staying an extra night in Kunming due to a cancelled flight and booked this hotel on a whim, and it was a delightful surprise. The front desk staff were incredibly warm, proactive, and attentive. While we were out sightseeing during the day, they proactively moved our stored luggage to our room. They even brought the afternoon tea we missed directly to our room. For breakfast, we chose the Crossing the Bridge Noodles, and the broth was incredibly fresh and delicious – honestly, better than the mushroom hotpot we'd had for the past few days."

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

"The room was very spacious, especially the bathroom and shower. It's close to the airport with a shuttle service, taking only 10 minutes to get there, which is perfect for those with early morning flights. I had a 7 AM flight, arrived at the airport around 5 AM, and woke up at 4:30 AM without feeling rushed at all."

Ibis Styles Hotel (Kunming Nanping Pedestrian Street) ★★★

"I have a great experience, with warm greeting, and excellence services. The location is very strategic, near of the iconic places"

Jinbi Hall Hotel (Nanping Pedestrian Street Jinma Bijifang Branch) ★★★★

"My stay at Jinbi Clubhouse exceeded expectations. The front desk upgraded my room for free, and it was spotlessly clean. I particularly loved their bedding; it was very comfortable. All the staff were incredibly friendly. Whether it was checking in at the front desk, having breakfast in the morning, or encountering housekeeping staff, everyone would stop and greet me politely. It felt like a very professionally managed hotel! I also have to commend the location – right in the city center, making it easy to get anywhere! I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Kunming!"

FourPoints by Sheraton Kunming City Centre Hotel ★★★★★

"The hotel facilities are excellent, and the breakfast offers a great selection of local specialties! The location is superb, right in the heart of the city center. It's just a few minutes' walk from Kunming Old Street. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The doorman even patiently recommended some fantastic local eateries nearby! "

Totoro Elf Hotel (Kunming Old Street Green Lake Branch) ★★

"The location is amazing! It’s right in the center of Kunming, with everything you need just a short walk away. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, cafés, and local attractions nearby,. Highly recommended"

18 Degrees Smart Hotel(Kunming Vanke Charming City Guangwei Metro Station) ★★★

"Slept incredibly well! 👍 The soundproofing was excellent, and the bedding was great too. 👌 The front desk staff was super nice; they upgraded my room and even helped me dry my clothes because it was so late. 🥹 The lighting at night was very cozy, with a masterless light design that was easy on the eyes. 👍"

Kunming Dianshang Yunquan Hotel (Changshui International Airport) ★★★

Atour Hotel Kunming Nanping Pedestrian Street Old Street ★★★★

"I had a layover in Kunming for one night and chose the Atour Hotel with the best location. Atour's bedding is always top-notch, and after a night on a soft sleeper train, I really needed a good night's rest. The hotel is right next to the old street, and there's a meat pie shop nearby that always has a long line. I couldn't resist buying two, and they were indeed delicious when hot 😋. In the evening, I could easily stroll around and explore the old street, trying out the insect banquet and mushroom banquet – definitely worth a try 🙃."
