Kunming Hotels with Pools

Hotel Paperman was absolutely perfect in every detail! It's the kind of place where you just need to bring your clothes and you're all set. 🏨 The toiletries were high-quality, and they even provided facial cleansing towels, mouthwash, bath bags, and bath salts for the tub. There wasn't a single item in the room that required extra payment. The service was absolutely fantastic! I was very happy with the room – a high bed with soft pillows, a Marshall speaker, and the view from the 31st floor was stunning. You get to admire the city up close and the beautiful Dianchi Lake in the distance. [Wow] The butler service was incredibly, incredibly amazing! They helped with transfers and luggage, provided clear directions, and responded quickly. The entire hotel environment and room design were completely to my aesthetic taste, I loved it! They even sent a beautiful welcome flower basket. This trip was a bit rushed, and I didn't get to fully enjoy the hotel. Next time, I definitely need to stay for a few more days. I must support this place!!!

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.

The room was very comfortable with a great view, perfect for watching the sunset. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options, including both traditional Western dishes and various local Yunnan delicacies. The hotel's service was exceptional. Our hotel account manager, Isla, was highly professional, enthusiastic, and efficient. She proactively called us before check-in to understand our needs, promptly followed up on our stay experience during our visit, and responded to our requests very quickly. She also provided us with a lot of useful information about Kunming's weather and tourist attractions.

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.

Our stay at InterContinental Kunming was fantastic! We booked a premium twin room and were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a balcony room, which was incredibly thoughtful, especially since my partner smokes. The room was quiet and private, and the location was very convenient for getting around. The hotel grounds are lush with greenery, creating a beautiful and secluded atmosphere. We had dinner at Xiang Dao Xuan Chinese Restaurant both nights, enjoying a 15% discount as hotel guests. The food quality was truly impressive; honestly, to find such excellent cuisine within a resort setting, I have to commend my own choice of hotel! The breakfast spread was incredibly rich, more than we could ever eat, and included fresh lettuce and purple cabbage grown right at the hotel. Their signature 'xiaoguo mixian' (small pot rice noodles) and 'er si' (rice cakes) tasted just as good as those from local eateries. If you're coming to Kunming, InterContinental is definitely the place to choose!

My overall experience at the Sofitel Kunming was extremely satisfying this time. The hotel is located in the city center, which is an excellent location, making it very convenient whether for shopping by taxi or visiting various attractions. The hotel has an elegant French style throughout, and the lobby is grand and appealing. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was soft and comfortable, making for a great stay. The staff member Mia was friendly and efficient with the check-in process, and all the facilities were well-equipped. Every aspect of the trip was pleasant, with almost no flaws to pick out, making it a wonderful stay. Next time I'm in Kunming, I will not hesitate to choose this hotel again.

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.
