DOALAND Hotels in Kunming

The location is a bit out of the way, surrounded by new residential buildings. Most of the shops nearby were closed during the Chinese New Year holiday, making dining inconvenient. We stayed two nights; the toilet in our room smelled bad the first night, so we changed rooms the next day. The hotel is located in a new residential area, so it was quite quiet, and parking was convenient. However, when we called the front desk before leaving the hotel on the day of check-in to ask them to record our license plate, they immediately asked us why we hadn't added them on WeChat and sent them the license plate number. No one asked us to add them on WeChat during check-in. The hotel's breakfast area was very small, and the breakfast was overly simple. The advantages were clean rooms, smart home technology, and friendly and efficient housekeeping staff.

The hotel is located at a main intersection, making it very convenient to hail a Didi (ride-hailing service). It's also within a 10-minute walk to the high-speed rail station. Overall, the stay was good. The hotel staff provided us with some useful travel information during check-in. However, there was a strong smell of smoke in the lobby leading to the elevators. Firstly, smoking is not allowed indoors, and secondly, the ventilation system was inadequate, causing the smell to linger. We had to quickly move away each time we passed by to avoid inhaling secondhand smoke. The room was as pictured in the official photos; it was large, but the cleanliness was only average. The water dispenser provided some counter space. One commendable point is that although we booked a room for three people, the housekeeping staff did indeed provide three bottles of water. Often, even when booking for three, the housekeeping staff may not know the number of people and only provide two bottles, requiring us to get extra water from the front desk. However, this was a family room, and there were still only two water cups and two mouthwash cups provided. The hotel should pay attention to this.
