Kunming Huagu Hotel (Changshui International Airport Platinum Port Modern Plaza Store) ★★★★
"The room was very spacious, especially the bathroom and shower. It's close to the airport with a shuttle service, taking only 10 minutes to get there, which is perfect for those with early morning flights. I had a 7 AM flight, arrived at the airport around 5 AM, and woke up at 4:30 AM without feeling rushed at all."
Kunming Xiangrun AirAsia Hotel (Kunming International Changshui Airport Branch) ★★
"The room was very clean and the bed was soft and comfortable. The value for money was excellent. The front desk staff and driver were all very friendly. I would definitely stay here again. The only downside was the bumpy ride due to road construction on the way there, but otherwise, no complaints."
Best Yue Hang Hotel ★★★★
"This is an older hotel, but its main advantage is its proximity to the airport and the shuttle service. It's a good option for temporary layovers or red-eye flights. You can call a bit in advance to request the shuttle. If you wait until you arrive to call, you'll be standing in the cold for over ten minutes."
BORRMAN HOTEL (Kunming Changshui Airport Terminal 1) ★★★

The Smart King Ji Hotel（Kunming Changshui International Airport Store） ★★★
"The breakfast was great, service excellent, and the price very reasonable. It's much cleaner than an All Seasons Hotel, yet only a third of the price. I stayed for three days and was very satisfied with this airport hotel. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in town."

Mengjing Yaxing Hotel (Kunming South High-speed Railway Station Lianjie Subway Station)
"Beautiful hotel located near Kunming South railway station. There are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby."
OUTSIDE HOTEL
"The most comfortable homestay I have ever stayed in Fuxian Lake, simple and rustic but full of details, with a sense of design everywhere, great for taking photos, and excellent product selection. The mattress and pillow are very comfortable, and I guess they are the same style as a certain one. The lotus pond outside the window is very comfortable, and it is also close to the lakeside beach. Everything is super healing, the two managers are also very friendly, and it feels as comfortable as friends. I will invite friends to stay again on weekends in the future."
Colorful Yunnan • Petal | Sky View • Cloud Travel Hotel
"Extended stay includes a room upgrade (subject to availability): There's a beautiful bridge with stunning views, about a kilometer long, offering a picturesque panorama."
Ouqiyuan Homestay (Dianchi Lake Haigeng Dam)
"First of all, the transportation is very convenient. Dianchi Lake is just a 2-minute walk away, and there are many seagulls. The room is also very quiet. The owner is very friendly and helpful, introducing what to do around the area and when to take photos. Seeing that we had elderly relatives and thought staying on the second floor would be inconvenient, they kindly arranged for us to stay in the courtyard on the first floor. The room is very clean, and the facilities are complete, all controlled by a smart speaker. The bedding is white and very clean. There are many places to eat nearby, which is very convenient. In the evening, there are many night market stalls, creating a great atmosphere, suitable for casual gatherings. Highly recommended."
FourPoints by Sheraton Kunming City Centre Hotel
"Traveling with my child, we stayed at the Hilton in downtown Kunming, and the experience far exceeded our expectations! I have to give a special shout-out to the front desk staff, who proactively upgraded our room for free and even gave our child a complimentary breakfast, saving us extra expenses – such great value for money. The room was clean and spacious, with excellent facilities. The breakfast buffet offered a huge selection, with plenty of pastries and milk specifically for kids. The hotel's location is superb; it's right in the city center, making it convenient to get anywhere. All the staff were incredibly kind and patient, especially friendly towards children. Our travel fatigue completely melted away here. I highly recommend it for families!"
Kai Wah Plaza Hotel
"The room was great and very clean. Although the facilities are a bit dated, they still have a premium feel to them and are quite good."
Kunming Kasion Hotel
"I followed Ctrip's Yunnan hot spring hotel ranking to pick this hotel, and they really are experts! The Tengchong Kaishen Hot Spring Hotel absolutely deserves its double 5-star rating. [Hot Spring Experience] You can enjoy a private hot spring right in your room, and the water quality is incredibly comfortable! You don't even need to leave your room to experience the freedom of a hot spring. The hotel's overall environment is also very luxurious, completely meeting 5-star standards. Service Details: 1. The breakfast selection was rich, and for two consecutive days, the dishes were completely different, which shows great thoughtfulness. 2. They even provided two different flavors of toothpaste with the toiletries. 3. When checking out, not only did they give us a souvenir, but knowing we were driving, they specially prepared a car air freshener. Fully satisfied, 190%!"
Sofitel Kunming
Towering above the vibrant central business district, this exquisite five-star destination is recognised globally for its breathtaking panoramic city views and flawless French-inspired culinary dining experiences.
G MANSION HOTEL
"My stay at Gong Guan Hotel completely exceeded my expectations. The entire place was spotless and tidy, and the service was warm, meticulous, and thoughtful. The facilities were excellent and comprehensive, and the environment was quiet and comfortable. It offered great value for money, and my stay was incredibly pleasant. I'd definitely recommend staying here again."
Bolanting Hotel (Kunming Changshui International Airport)
"The hotel service was excellent. I booked it last minute in the evening, and they proactively asked if I needed airport pickup. The room was large and very clean; I believe it was an upgraded room, although the front desk didn't mention it, I noticed it after comparing. The airport drop-off service was also great; even though it was outside the standard time, they still coordinated with the driver to arrange it for us. Overall, it was impeccable!"
LIRIDE RED HOTEL
"Great location near Cuihu Park. The breakfast was good, and they even offered rice noodle supper. The rooftop views were lovely. My only minor complaint is that the bathroom light was a motion sensor, which was a bit disruptive at night if someone needed to get up."
Grand Park Kunming
"This hotel is excellent! First off, the room layout is well-designed, and the breakfast is incredibly rich and delicious – especially their homemade snowflake crisp, which is a must-try! The staff are also very friendly and helpful. Plus, the hotel's location is superb, being very close to popular attractions and Cuihu Walking Street. It's incredibly convenient for sightseeing, making it the top choice for anyone visiting Kunming!"
City Comfort Inn (Kunming Old Town by Nanping Pedestrian Street)
"Conveniently located with clean rooms. This is my second time staying here, and even though I had a slight delay checking out today, the staff was very understanding and accommodating. Thumbs up! I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in town. Wishing the hotel great success!"

Kunming Changshui International Airport Shop
"The hotel offers an airport shuttle service, which is super convenient, taking only about 15 minutes to get to the airport. The hotel is clean, and the bedding is pristine white. Both the bath and face towels come individually sealed. There's a washing machine and dryer on the first floor. After my clothes were washed, the staff even thoughtfully put them in a bag and had a robot deliver them to my room."
GreenTree Eastern Hotel (Chongqing Baiyun Road Tongde Plaza)
"Highly recommended! The lady at the front desk was super efficient and friendly, and she proactively told us all about the hotel's facilities. The housekeeping staff were also very prompt with their service, whether it was refilling items or quickly solving any issues. For instance, when they noticed a guest coughing, they even offered chrysanthemum tea! The hotel itself is clean, spacious, and bright, with convenient amenities. The service is simply outstanding – warm, efficient, and they pretty much cater to every request. Plus, the room rates are affordable, and parking is free. I was very satisfied with my stay!"
