Hotels in Chenggong New District/South High-Speed Railway Station, Kunming

The sofa bed was a real highlight; having a separate bed for each of us (a family of three) was much more comfortable than a standard hotel room. The room itself was a bit small. The shuttle bus only seats 6 people, and when we checked out, there were over ten people in line, making it pretty useless – we would have waited at least half an hour for our turn. We ended up taking a taxi to the train station. If you have an early high-speed train, be prepared to make your own way there, as the hotel only has one 7-seater, which isn't very reliable. Aside from that, the room amenities and toiletries were up to brand chain standards.

The room layout was well-designed, stylishly decorated, spacious, bright, and comfortable. Since I stayed for eight days, I received a complimentary upgrade to a south-facing room. I've previously stayed at Mengjing hotels in Xishuangbanna and downtown Kunming, and I've always been impressed by their focus on service and hygiene. That's why I chose Mengjing again this time. The breakfast was a bit limited, but it was enough to fill me up and tasted good. The cook also kept the area very clean. Although the central air conditioning in each room could be individually adjusted, it wasn't very effective. The front desk staff kindly provided me with an electric heater, which solved my heating issue. The young lady at the front desk was consistently polite and helpful. I'm very grateful for her assistance during my stay. While the hotel aims for good value for money, I hope they can improve the overall comfort. Due to the affordable price, many guests with less desirable etiquette also stay here. There was smoking everywhere, loud conversations in the hallway until 2 or 3 AM, and a general disregard for others. Additionally, the soundproofing isn't as good as an apartment, so I was often woken up in the middle of the night. It seems the hotel is struggling to address this issue.

As a layover from Kunming South Station, this Sheraton wasn't particularly close, nor did it offer shuttle services like other hotels, and the price wasn't much of an advantage. But drawn by the Marriott Group and the Sheraton brand, I still chose to stay here. Let me state some objective facts. Mid-2026 has already passed, yet the hotel's decorations, from the lobby to the restaurant, still exude a 'Happy New Year' festive atmosphere. The lobby had complimentary fresh flowers, and you could pick a vase to take to your room. However, the flowers weren't very fresh to begin with, and after one night, they all wilted. Fresh flowers are meant to provide emotional value, and Kunming's biggest advantage is its flowers; the hotel shouldn't be short on this budget. If they're not fresh, I suggest removing them and only displaying them when they are. The hotel is across from a hospital, and our room faced it, so we could hear ambulance sirens, which is understandable. But typically, a hotel restaurant is in the location with the best view. Yet, waking up to eat breakfast facing a hospital… you can imagine. We booked connecting rooms. The twin room had a large bathroom with a bathtub. The king room had a shower, was a bit smaller, with a shower curtain above but no barrier below, so the floor was all wet after showering. Upon arrival, the outdoor parking lot wasn't large. We were later told it was under renovation. The underground parking lot wasn't very bright either, with tight turning angles. Our car is quite large, so it was a bit challenging.

I've stayed here several times now. It's right in Colorful Yunnan, and there are plenty of restaurants downstairs, making dining incredibly convenient. The rooms are uniquely designed and very spacious. For the same price, I doubt you could find another hotel with rooms this large. The attention to detail in the room's decor is also very thoughtful. They even provide a washing machine and a drying rack, which is a huge plus since it's often hard to find a place to dry clothes after washing them. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a fantastic view of a sizable lake. You can sit and enjoy panoramic views of the lake and the city. Overall, my experience was extremely satisfying.

Room: The bedding was excellent, ensuring a very comfortable sleep. For the price, the room size was quite generous, and both the toilet and shower areas were spacious enough, making for a comfortable experience. Facilities: Very well-maintained. While not as smart or modern as newly opened hotels, the facilities were more than adequate. This established hotel clearly excels in many small details. Service: Superb. Location: Very close to the South Railway Station, and they offer pick-up/drop-off services. Downstairs, there's a lively snack street in the university town. It's also relatively close to Dounan Flower Market, though a bit of a distance from the old city center.

I initially booked this hotel online without much thought, and honestly, the value for money is absolutely incredible. The lobby greeted me with a lovely floral scent, and the front desk staff were professional and efficient, making check-in super fast. They patiently answered all my questions, and when they found out we enjoyed watching sports, they even upgraded us to a deluxe cinema king room. Watching the World Cup on the 120-inch screen was fantastic! The room was spotless, the bathroom had no strange odors or water stains, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. The whole room was well-ventilated and felt fresh. The facilities were well-maintained and looked new; the lighting, hot water, and air conditioning all worked perfectly. The soundproofing was excellent, so I wasn't bothered by any hallway noise. Downstairs, it's right next to Wanda Plaza, and just a bit further is Qicai Yunnan No.1 City, so you can find any kind of food you're craving. Unfortunately, it's been raining a lot in Kunming recently. I went out without an umbrella, got caught in the rain, and started feeling a bit sick. I ordered some medicine and filled in the address provided by the front desk, but after waiting over half an hour, it still hadn't arrived. My phone even showed it as delivered. I called the delivery driver to ask where it was, and it turned out he had delivered it to the wrong building. He refused to come back and redeliver it, and then hung up on me, which made me furious. I asked the front desk for help finding my medicine. When they learned I had a cold, they brought me a cup of hot water for my medicine and thoughtfully brought an umbrella, reminding me that it's rainy season in Kunming and it's better to carry one. Their service truly warmed my heart. I will definitely be strongly recommending this place to my friends here.

The location is fantastic, within walking distance of the South Station, and very convenient with plenty of amenities nearby. The room was cozy and thoughtfully designed, with excellent attention to detail, including a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom and soft bedding. The front desk service was incredibly attentive, proactively helping us plan our itinerary. It truly felt like a home away from home.

This four-star hotel truly lives up to its rating. After traveling from Xishuangbanna to Dali, then Lijiang, and finally back to Kunming, this hotel, at a similar price point to other B&Bs, offered incredibly superior service and an unparalleled environment. The bathroom with its wet/dry separation was a great touch. I have to praise the front desk lady (or perhaps a younger sister, haha) a thousand times over! The hotel cleanliness was excellent, the bed was so soft and comfortable, and they even offered late-night snacks with delicious fruit 😋. The pick-up and drop-off service was also fantastic. On my last day, I was a little late getting back to the hotel from Daguan Park for my departure, but both the driver and the front desk staff were so understanding and gentle about it. I promise not to cut it so close next time! Attaching some beautiful photos of the park, hoping for another chance to visit Kunming. Kunming is truly wonderful!

Choosing C'est La Vie Hotel was an excellent decision for our trip. It's incredibly convenient for getting to and from Kunming South Railway Station, and their complimentary shuttle service is a fantastic bonus! The room was comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, with great attention to detail. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely choose this hotel again next time!

I was very satisfied with my stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Kunming Chenggong! The location is convenient, close to both the South Station and the subway, making travel easy. The room was clean and comfortable, the bedding was soft, and the facilities were complete. The breakfast was plentiful and even included local specialties. The front desk service was warm and attentive, and it offered great value for money. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town!
