Hotel is situated in a very good shopping area with lots of Malls n Eatery. The breakfast is hotel has a good spread and staffs are all very polite and helpful. The bed and pillow is nice but the quit could have been better. Air-conditioning is not very cold but it’s the norm here in China as it is Autumn already and tend towards a cooler weather.

Agree with one reviewer that it’s standard of 3-3.5 star Best Western in Australia if that is a guide.
Positives
Centrally located, modern shopping centre 300m away, Starbucks next to shopping centre have decent coffee. Comfortable room.
Negatives
Room on L25 aircon ineffective, mouldy bathroom, don’t think my wife would have stayed.
Caters mainly for Chinese breakfast, western breakfast really only cold fried egg, cold bacon, lukewarm tea, stewed coffee, sliced orange pieces drying out, watermelon pieces, obscure cereal. So food not great.
Look for Chinese food outside. Pizza, steak in shopping centre good court.
Staff did their best and tried to be helpful. English not great.
Breakfast staff stand and look and wait. Might be good if they offered hot tea or coffee when you sit down.
On reflection I wish I’d look further afield and paid more for better accommodation.
Great location in the centre - close to the shops. Hotel staff spoke very limited English - less than expected for this level hotel. Rooms are spacious and nice - but our non-smoking room clearly had a cigarette smoke smell inside the room. The breakfast buffet is expensive - though it did not match our taste and the coffee was bad. The doorman should really support guests rather than allowing crooks as taxi drivers in front of the hotel taking advantage of guests with rides to airport without meter.
Just next to a very smart shopping mall with all the luxury trappings. Also near to various restaurants. The rooms are of a classic type of luxury which was wonderful after our journey through remote parts of Yunnan. Good views over town. Kunming has a charming park with a lake with dancers and revellers as usual in China.
Spent 2 nights here and first and foremost, no beating it’s location! Centre of everything. Pop down and there’s food and shopping centers. There’s lots of buses that starts there.
The hotel has some floors that are renovated which are brighter. However, we chose the unrenovated suite. It was nice and spacious. Great value for the price and buffet breakfast is included. The buffet had a nice choice of pastry and lots of Chinese selection.
The staff doesn’t speak much English but are friendly and helpful unless they don’t understand your request. After spending so much time traveling around in China, I realized that the concierge tends to recommend taking a taxi as they feel your Chinese will not get you from point A to B, like signboards they can only tell you in Chinese and unfortunately you can only read the English signboard whereas they don’t.
Highly recommend the hotel for its location and price. However for a more Western style hotel check out my other hotel reviews of Kunming.
We stayed at this hotel for two nights.
The room is spacious and well equipped.
The bathroom although a little old ,contain
all what someone needs.
The breakfast is oriented mostly for Chinese ,so we had only eggs and coffee
with some croissant and sweet rolls.
in general we would recommand on this hotel specially because it is located in the center of the city.
