"I booked the lowest-priced room, which was on a lower floor and didn't have a view of the train station. The more expensive rooms are on higher floors with better views. You get what you pay for.
The hotel is very close to Kunming Station, less than a 10-minute walk, which is perfect for catching an early high-speed train.
However!!! Please note, the Kunming Station subway exit only leads to the south exit of Kunming Station, while the hotel is located near the north exit. So, if you're taking the subway to the hotel, I strongly advise against getting off at Kunming Station. You'll have to walk an extremely long way. Instead, you can get off at Fude Station and then take a bus to the hotel. Alternatively, get off at Huancheng Nan Lu Station and walk about ten minutes to the hotel. It seems there's a lack of coordination between Kunming Train Station and the subway station, as the subway exit only connects to the south exit, which is very inconvenient."
