Kunming Hotels with Pools

Five stars to the DoubleTree by Hilton Kunming Airport! From the lobby environment and room cleanliness to the breakfast and airport shuttle service, everything met a high standard, making for a very comfortable stay. I especially want to commend Cai Cai. I was quite tired upon arrival, but Cai Cai was incredibly patient, efficiently handled my check-in, thoroughly explained all hotel services, and even offered thoughtful advice regarding my flight schedule. Any questions I had were answered promptly and properly, truly demonstrating exceptional service. The hotel maintains excellent quality control, and with such outstanding staff service, it has become my go-to choice for layovers in Kunming. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling through Changshui Airport.

This is the second time I’ve booked this hotel and also the second time I’m impressed with the hotel service. I’ve touched down Kunming too early and since I’m tired from late night flight, I head straight to the hotel after I’ve landed although I understand check in cannot be so early. The concierge was nice to allow me and my partner to enjoy breakfast (we booked stay with breakfast) while waiting for guests to check out as their hotel was fully booked. Right after our breakfast, the concierge saw us and quickly chased up the cleaning staff to tidy up the room asap so guests can check in earlier. I appreciate their thoughtfulness in this and was lucky to check in in the morning although the stated check-in time is 2pm. I also appreciate the cleaning staff attentiveness to us as we prefer the room to be clean up every 2 days instead of daily. (We book 4 nights there). She keeps checking in with us as she is worried we run out of drinking water, tissue paper, toilet roll and clean towel almost every morning. On our last day, we came back to our room around late afternoon and she thoughtfully hang a laundry bag filled with drinking water bottles and even new pack of tissue on our door. (We leave do not disturb button on while we went out.) The hotel staff at lobby was also very attentive when we get out of Didi outside in the rain, he runs towards us with umbrella to shield us from rain. I also enjoy hotel breakfast very much as I arrived in Kunming with weak stomach and needed non spicy and easy food to ingest. They provided a great range of food that suits foreigners, children and even sick adults like me. Thank you Dianyu Yunling, I know I can trust this hotel’s service level and will return to this hotel again for my next Kunming trip!

The apartment is great and the lady who took care of us answered promptly to our requests, so it's a great option if you want to feel like you're actual living in Kunming, instead of just being a guest in a hotel. The only minor issues is that there seem to be some stains in the ground that should be cleaned more thoroughly, and also the wok that we were offered to cook had a lot of burnt oil on the bottom, so the moment we put it on the hob it started to burn and stink. We gave up on cooking because we didn't want to have any accident or fire (incidentally, someone else triggered the fire alarm on our last night). We later asked for a small pot to boil the eggs we had bought and that small pot was great, so I think more care should be put on the cooking utensils offered to the guests. If it weren't for those small things, I'd have nothing to say but good things, so I hope this feedback can help this great hotel become perfect haha. Thanks for all your help and kindness, 阿姨！

We stayed here for three nights at the end of our Yunnan trip, and overall, it was a very comfortable and convenient stay. One thing worth clarifying is that the hotel is actually ”Park Inn by Radisson” or in Mandarin ”丽柏”. Trip.com listed it under a rather confusing name, “昆明·丽柏WAVESWEPT·MISTYSEA设计酒店,” which can make it difficult to identify the property. The location was excellent for us as we were travelling by train. The hotel is within walking distance of Kunming Railway Station and Line 2 metro station, making it very convenient for getting around. When it was time for us to leave, the hotel even offered us a complimentary ride to the metro station, where we could take a direct train to the airport. This was a very thoughtful touch. The breakfast was another highlight. There was a good variety of both Western and Chinese options, so there was something for everyone. They also served noodles from around 9–11pm, which was particularly welcoming when we arrived late in the evening with empty stomachs. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They gave us useful recommendations on where to visit around Kunming and were especially helpful when I had technical difficulties placing a ******* order as a foreigner. Their willingness to help with something outside the usual hotel services was much appreciated. The main downside for me was the sound insulation. I could clearly hear the water running from the neighbouring room whenever they turned on the tap. Traffic noise was also noticeable despite staying on the 4th floor. Overall, I had a very positive experience. The combination of a convenient location, excellent breakfast, late-night noodles, and genuinely helpful staff makes this a hotel I would happily return to when visiting Kunming again. Next time, I would simply request a higher floor for a quieter night's sleep.

It was okay. The location is excellent, and the room type is great for families with its spacious layout. The bathroom facilities are very good, and the service was decent. The breakfast buffet was nice with good service, and the scenery and environment are also quite pleasant. The rooftop terrace is beautiful too, offering different views during the day and night.

Choosing Jia Hua Plaza Hotel this time was absolutely the smartest decision. It truly lives up to its reputation as a long-standing five-star hotel. I initially expected the facilities to be a bit outdated, but to my surprise, everything, both hardware and software, exceeded my expectations. The location is excellent, with plenty of great dining options nearby, including many established old brands like Fuzhaolou. The lobby is grand and luxurious, and the central flower display is a delight to behold. The breakfast offers a rich variety of choices, covering all the best of Yunnan cuisine, which was a very thoughtful touch. Overall, the value for money is outstanding 👍. Next time I'm in Kunming, Jia Hua will definitely be my first choice.

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. I was quite hesitant before choosing it, especially after reading about the negative elevator incident, which made me really worry about safety. So, every time I took the elevator during my stay, I was on edge. The main reason I decided to stay was for the hot springs and swimming pool, as it's been raining a lot in Kunming recently, and I figured we'd just enjoy the hotel. Honestly, I wasn't particularly impressed with the service, and the facilities are quite old, very old. If it weren't for the constant rain and traveling with a child, I probably wouldn't have chosen this hotel. Especially after visiting Fuxian Lake, the comparison really highlighted its shortcomings.

Overall, the hotel was great – a true all-in-one spot for dining, entertainment, and relaxation. It’s perfect for spending a few days unwinding. The facilities like the pool and gym were excellent. Everything you need is right here! Plus, the three meals a day offered by the hotel were quite tasty. On a different note, I needed to arrange dinner for my family and called twice in advance to book a restaurant. The front desk said the F&B department would contact me, but they never did, even after I checked out… a bit frustrating. When I checked in, the front desk told me our standard room was on the first floor. I acknowledged it, and then they repeated it, “first floor, okay?” I didn't quite understand why they emphasized it twice. It wasn’t until I got to the room that I realized the cafe’s outdoor terrace offers a direct view into the room. (The front desk could have just said that directly instead of being so vague; how would I know, being a first-time guest?) Three areas for improvement: 1. The non-slip mat in the shower was very dirty. 2. The coordination among the F&B staff needs to be better. 3. The front desk should be more direct. Repeating that the standard room was on the first floor in such a roundabout way completely confused me as a first-time visitor about what they were trying to convey!

This guesthouse was amazing! The yard was spotless, the rooms had a lovely, subtle fragrance, the air conditioning was great, the internet was fast, hot water came out in the shower in just 5 seconds, and the pool was heated. It rained today, so we swam and exercised at the guesthouse. The owner was especially welcoming; she made us some hot tea. I'll definitely come back next time!

This hotel was the best one during our entire Yunnan trip. The room wasn't huge, but it was very well-designed and matched the price perfectly. One thing that was really important for me as a mom was that there was no carpet in the room. The staff were incredibly enthusiastic and responsible; you could tell they operate with high standards. The lifeguard was constantly patrolling around the pool, and the front desk staff were also very attentive. The gym's front desk person was responsible and proactive. After my 8-year-old son went for a swim, he went to the men's changing room by himself to shower. When I went to the front desk to ask, I realized the exit for the men's changing room wasn't in the direction we entered the pool area. I was a bit worried, and a staff member immediately went to find my son for me. When they saw me fumbling to help my son change, they quickly took his swimsuit to spin-dry it and pack it up for us. When we were leaving, the concierge, who was quite far away, actually jogged over to help us with our luggage.
