Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel

📍 No. 6, Cuihu South Road, Wuhua District, Kunming
★★★★★ 9.4 (4,129 reviews)

"Fantastic overall stay with an ideal location steps from Kunming Cuihu Lake. Lots of dining options nearby, and grabbing taxis to local attractions is effortless. This is a time-honored vintage hotel with older styling, though room amenities work well. The front desk team delivered thoughtful service—they upgraded our room after learning my wife is pregnant, and suggested a unit with a separate walk-in shower to avoid slippery bathtubs. Small flaw: the shower head has excessively high water pressure and is hard to maneuver. Huge appreciation to all attentive front desk staff for their warm assistance, especially 小鹏 丹丹 and 佳佳. Will def consider rebook if I visit Kunming again!"

After checking out, I realized I had left some valuables in my room and thought they'd be hard to recover. To my surprise, the front desk staff meticulously checked, called me immediately, and even proactively helped pack and store them securely, then thoughtfully assisted with shipping them via courier. The communication throughout was smooth, and they handled everything efficiently and responsibly. The staff were warm, friendly, and highly dedicated. The environment was clean and quiet, and the service was incredibly attentive.

"The room was good. There was enough space to pack and do other things. The only thing is it’s missing a mirror in the table. The only mirror is in the washroom. The service was great. I love how they try their best to help and they even gave me extra water every time I ask. The robot was very cute and adds charm to the hotel. The location is also near a train station which is very convenient and has a mini mart less than a minute to the hotel."

"Stayed for three days. On the first day, there were still handprints on the window, and I had to ask the staff to clean them. On the second day, I went to the gym to play billiards, but all the cues were broken. I reported it but received no response. On the third day, the cues were still broken when I went in the afternoon. After I reported it again, they called me in the afternoon to say it was fixed, but it was still broken when I went back in the evening. The staff clearly just brushed me off. Also, if you're over 1.8 meters tall, you can't fully soak in the bathtub."

"We are writing this review while staying in this hotel now. We have traveled from Feilai Shangrila a 5-6 hours drive and a 4.5 hr train very tired and sleepy at 11pm but were greeted with good service at the reception and was happy that the reception staff said that she will UPGRADE us to a better room and also mentioned their best room. They also mentioned that they are doing this so that we can write them good review. We were so happy, but when we opened our so-called “better room” we were greeted with a room with an opened window and smelled like someone just smoked in the room. Though the room is big I checked what I have booked and realized that it is still the same size same type of room that I have booked no upgrade at all as mentioned by the staff. The so-called “smart toilet” can only flush in different way but no bidet washing function which are available in many other hotel. I was disappointed that if they mentioned there is an upgrade, then they should give me a better room but yet we were given a less than normal room that we have booked. We were disappointed and tired to ask to make any changes. By the way the toilet will flood after our shower. It’s mentioned in the features of this room to have rain shower but we are getting a spray shower that spray towards the glass door and cause water to flow toward the door making it slippery and dangerous. I will not recommend this hotel as there are many other better hotel that is cheaper yet offer better updated features in the room."

Zhongwei Green Lake Hotel ★★★★★
"The hotel is conveniently located opposite green lake and a scenic 15 mins walk to the old town with many cosy cafes enroute. Room and bed was comfy and had all the needed amenities and included a wholesome and hearty breakfast, mini bar and night deserts😊 We had a small incident on the day we checked in. The room Aircon wasn't cold. The manager on duty said they did not have any other room for us. However, our tour lead from 深中旅遊 阿濤 sorted it out for us in no time. Subsequently, the hotel staff Neo, Lisa and Malik did a great job on service recovery and made our trip whole again. We highly commend their hospitality and awesome attitude. I will stay at Zhong Wei again as long as they are here."

Holiday Inn Express KUNMING RAILWAY STATION by IHG ★★★★
"First, I want to give the hotel some feedback, and I'll put it in the review section for others to参考. The hotel is very close to Kunming Station, a 400-meter walk, which is convenient for getting around. However, there's no information about which exit to use. First-time visitors could easily take the wrong exit and end up walking 1.3 kilometers! The hotel should specify that it's a 400-meter walk from the **North Exit** of Kunming Station, and to **avoid the South Exit**! The service is good; they respond to any customer needs. The facilities and cleanliness are excellent, as it's a new hotel, everything is new. In the daytime, after the sun shines in, there's a slight lingering smell of new装修. Breakfast is decent. As for the environment, a common drawback of Holiday Inn Express hotels is that there are many rooms on each floor, and the hallways can be quite winding."
