Kunming Huagu Hotel (Changshui International Airport Platinum Port Modern Plaza Store) ★★★★

📍 1st Floor, No. 1009, Building 1, Bogang Modern Plaza, Konggang Avenue, Guandu District, Kunming

"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."

9.4 (1,233 reviews)

Kunming Xiangrun AirAsia Hotel (Kunming International Changshui Airport Branch) ★★

📍 No. 13-1, Xinqiao Village, Guandu District, Kunming

"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."

BORRMAN HOTEL (Kunming Changshui Airport Terminal 1)
9.6 (1,462 reviews)

BORRMAN HOTEL (Kunming Changshui Airport Terminal 1) ★★★

📍 160 meters west of the intersection of Jichang West Road and Jichang Middle Road, Guandu District, Kunming

"They upgraded us to a family twin room! The double-layered soundproof windows were amazing, we couldn't hear any airport noise at all, which made sleeping with the baby incredibly peaceful. The front desk staff, Ms. Xu, Ms. Nuo, and Ms. Tong, were also super patient in helping us confirm our airport shuttle time. The room was spotlessly clean, spacious, and not at all cramped. My child immediately fell in love with the Little Yellow Duck cartoon bedding. It came equipped with a 65-inch smart TV that could mirror screens and smart curtains – truly well-equipped! It's the perfect place to stay if you're catching a flight, and the airport pick-up/drop-off service was also a thoughtful touch!"

Gefei VX Hotel (North Square of Kunming Railway Station)
9.5 (4,152 reviews)

Gefei VX Hotel (North Square of Kunming Railway Station) ★★★

📍 No. 7 Yongping Road, Guandu District, Kunming

"I chose this hotel for my trip and was very satisfied overall. The location is excellent, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The room hygiene was great, the layout was practical, and it felt spacious and comfortable to stay in. The staff provided attentive service, and both check-in and check-out processes were simple. It's a great choice for a trip."

9.2 (516 reviews)

Jiuxi · Scandinavia Audiovisual Boutique Stay (Cuihu Nanping Pedestrian Street) ★★

📍 Tower A, 6th Floor, Ruyi Building, No. 36 Renmin Middle Road, Wuhua District, Kunming

Havana Hotel (Kunming Changshui Airport Store)
9.0 (4,198 reviews)

Havana Hotel (Kunming Changshui Airport Store) ★★

📍 No.210 Dabanqiao Street Industrial Park, Guandu District, Kunming

"Since my flight was at 10 PM, I decided to check in around 2 PM to rest for a few hours. I found this hotel, which offered good value for money. When I arrived, I noticed all the room doors on my floor were open, airing out each room, so there were no unpleasant odors when I entered. The airport transfer service was also punctual and went smoothly. There are convenience stores and snack shops nearby, which is very convenient. If you have some time, you can take a walk near the hotel; there's an old railway track that's great for photos."

FourPoints by Sheraton Kunming City Centre Hotel Hotels in Kunming

FourPoints by Sheraton Kunming City Centre Hotel

"The hotel's location is excellent, making it very convenient for getting around. The facilities are also great, especially for families traveling with children. We really appreciated the hotel adding an extra bed for us, which made for a very comfortable night's sleep. The laundry service was also incredibly convenient; they even deliver clean clothes back to your room. Breakfast was delicious and offered a wide variety of choices."

Grand Hyatt Kunming Hotels in Kunming

Grand Hyatt Kunming

"The hotel's central location makes it incredibly convenient to get around. The rooms are very comfortable, and Isla, our butler, was warm and attentive. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Kunming."

Grand Park Kunming Hotels in Kunming

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!"

Kunming Kasion Hotel Hotels in Kunming

Kunming Kasion Hotel

"The Kunming Kasion Hotel has an incredibly chic interior and sits in a fantastic location. The highlight was the breakfast buffet, which featured an excellent spread of authentic Yunnan specialities. They are very family-friendly, providing great toys and amenities for the kids, plus lovely welcome and goodbye gifts! On the downside, room details fell short; the walls were quite dusty when looking closely. Soundproofing is also weak—I heard next-door conversations and people running around at 1:00 AM. It is not loud enough to need earplugs, but something to be aware of. Overall, highly recommended!"

Bolanting Hotel (Kunming Changshui International Airport) Hotels in Kunming

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!"

Novotel Living Yunnan Dianchi Times Hotels in Kunming

Novotel Living Yunnan Dianchi Times

"It's rare for a hotel not to actively ask for good reviews, but I really want to give this one a five-star rating. The room is fully equipped, the TV is a good size with excellent picture quality, and all the streaming service memberships are already paid for. Unlimited free water is provided, and service response is incredibly fast and friendly, even surpassing some five-star hotels. The breakfast offers a wide variety and good quality, and the free coffee in the lobby tastes great... My five-night stay was convenient, relaxing, and enjoyable. The only minor flaw is that the room faces the road, so I needed earplugs to sleep. It would be even better if they could install soundproof double or triple-glazed windows in the future. I'll definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Kunming."

"Fantastic hotel experience! The front desk staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and check-in was super efficient. The breakfast had a great variety and tasted delicious, plus there was a lovely afternoon tea to enjoy."

GreenTree Eastern Hotel (Chongqing Baiyun Road Tongde Plaza) Hotels in Kunming

GreenTree Eastern Hotel (Chongqing Baiyun Road Tongde Plaza)

"The room was bright and comfortable, and the staff were friendly. My only regret is that the hot spring water was too cold. I stayed for five nights and only dared to go once. It was winter, and getting out of the water was freezing. This was my first time in Kunming, and after a lot of searching, I chose this hotel specifically for its hot springs, but it turned out to be a disappointment. I was traveling independently, and if we went to the breakfast restaurant around 8 AM when there were tour groups, there was hardly any food left. 😞 The hotel's strong point is its convenient location. It's easy to get around by taxi or bus, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby."

Kunming Huagu Hotel (Changshui International Airport Platinum Port Modern Plaza Store) ★★★★
"The room was surprisingly large and spacious, offering great value for money. The only downsides were a persistent smoke smell in the room and a cigarette burn hole on the pillow. Even though I requested a non-smoking room and it seemed to have been aired out, the smoke smell was still too strong for a sensitive person like me to sleep. I'd suggest better bathroom cleaning and stricter non-smoking enforcement in the rooms."

Kunming Xiangrun AirAsia Hotel (Kunming International Changshui Airport Branch) ★★
"This hotel is only about a 15-minute drive from the airport, and they offer free pick-up and drop-off service. The front desk even proactively upgraded my room type, which was a thoughtful and detailed touch. The room was spotless with no strange odors at all. It had smart home features throughout and even came with a projector. The best part was that the projector already had a premium membership, which was incredibly considerate – you could watch any show you wanted! Plus, the surrounding scenery is really nice, and it was lovely to take a walk in the evening. There are plenty of snack stalls about 400 meters away, making it super convenient for food and drinks. It's definitely my top choice for a layover or short stay. For early morning flights, the front desk also calls to give you a heads-up, which is another fantastic detail!"

Havana Hotel (Kunming Changshui Airport Store) ★★

The hotel itself also sells excellent Yunnan tea, which was a nice bonus. Overall, Havana Hotel offers outstanding value for money. If you're looking for a convenient, comfortable, and budget-friendly stay near the airport, I highly recommend it."
