Hotels in Xishan District, Kunming

I checked into the Mengjing Wangyue Courtyard Hotel on August 21st, and my experience was absolutely amazing! This Chinese-style courtyard hotel, tucked away next to the Jinma Biji Archway on Kunming's Nanping Pedestrian Street, makes you feel relaxed the moment you step in. With its two courtyards, arhat pine bonsai, ancient well, and fish pond, even the air carries the scent of Pu'er tea – it perfectly balances tranquility with its bustling surroundings. The room features a black and white new Chinese style. The bedding was clean and soft, with yellow throw pillows and a bed runner adding just the right touch. The bathroom has a wet and dry separation, and all the fixtures have a brass finish – a detail-lover's dream! The biggest surprise was breakfast: freshly cooked Crossing-the-Bridge Noodles with a rich broth and a wide variety of toppings. The front desk staff, a few young ladies, were incredibly warm and helpful. They not only assisted with luggage and recommended local delicacies but also thoughtfully suggested old-fashioned snack shops nearby, giving clear directions. The hotel's public area also offers free refreshments and various experiences. Spending an evening in the courtyard, sipping Dianhong tea and watching the fish swim, felt like traveling back to the slow pace of old Kunming. The location is also unbeatable. It's a 6-minute walk to the Jinma Biji Archway, and Ri Jin Lou is right across the street, making it a one-stop shop for exploring, eating, and taking photos. Next time I'm in Kunming, I'll definitely stay here again – it's not that other hotels are struggling, it's just that this one perfectly balances ”local culture” and ”comfortable experience”!

Having traveled to over 20 countries, this is my first time reviewing an accommodation. When you're on the road, you often miss home. But not here! We booked the Loft, with a living room on the first floor and a bedroom on the second, it felt just like home. We enjoyed tea daily, and the hotel even provided complimentary afternoon tea. The 24-hour butler service was excellent, always available and responsive. They thoughtfully prepared a travel guide for us. The daily breakfast was a delicious mix of Chinese and Western options! We will definitely be back.

Our stay at InterContinental Kunming was fantastic! We booked a premium twin room and were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a balcony room, which was incredibly thoughtful, especially since my partner smokes. The room was quiet and private, and the location was very convenient for getting around. The hotel grounds are lush with greenery, creating a beautiful and secluded atmosphere. We had dinner at Xiang Dao Xuan Chinese Restaurant both nights, enjoying a 15% discount as hotel guests. The food quality was truly impressive; honestly, to find such excellent cuisine within a resort setting, I have to commend my own choice of hotel! The breakfast spread was incredibly rich, more than we could ever eat, and included fresh lettuce and purple cabbage grown right at the hotel. Their signature 'xiaoguo mixian' (small pot rice noodles) and 'er si' (rice cakes) tasted just as good as those from local eateries. If you're coming to Kunming, InterContinental is definitely the place to choose!

Facilities: A bit old, but generally pretty good. The bed is neither too soft nor too hard. The duvet is fine with the AC on, but it can get a bit warm without it, given Kunming's large temperature variations. There's a small garden and an outdoor hot tub, but apparently it's not usable. It's very photogenic though! The living room and bedroom are separate, which is great for families or multiple families staying together as you can chat comfortably. There are also seating areas in the room corridors where you can relax and talk. Being inside the scenic area, the courtyard rooms are quiet. Other room types might be a bit noisier. At midday, it can feel quite bustling outside with traffic and vendors calling out. The courtyard suites, however, are not noisy at all. The location is in the Jinbi area, not far from Nanping Old Street. Just cross a road and walk through Nanping Hui, and you're in a commercial area. For food and drinks, there are snacks right downstairs, though not many main courses. I think the options across the street are better. The hotel breakfast is à la carte and needs to be ordered a day in advance. We tried it one day, but after that, we opted for takeout or ate out. The hotel service is quite good. They have a butler service, and the staff's attitude is very pleasant. When we had a delay, they helped us coordinate a later checkout. For transport, since it's within the scenic area, you'll probably need to walk a bit after getting off the car. However, you can also have your car drive to the parking lot, and there's an elevator near the exit that takes you up.

Yitel Premium is situated in a fantastic location in Kunming! Super close to Old Street where you can find tons of food, shopping, teas & coffees galore! The hotel was lovely - super comfortable bed, good smelling bathroom amenities, and complimentary water. We used the laundry facility and it was very useful. Breakfast options were a bit limited, but still everything we ate was delicious. This hotel's location makes it prime real estate, I highly recommend!!

This is indeed a courtyard hotel, and it's incredibly quiet. As soon as you enter, there's a bar with a fridge, and the TV is huge, with seamless screen mirroring from my phone. The wet and dry areas are completely separate: the washbasin, shower, and toilet are all in individual sections. The mattress is just right, not too soft or too firm, and there's a choice of regular pillows and memory foam pillows, so I slept very comfortably. There was a stack of bottled water on the table by the door, which was very convenient to grab on the way out. Plus, the staff's service attitude was excellent. All in all, I'm very satisfied!

My overall experience at the Sofitel Kunming was extremely satisfying this time. The hotel is located in the city center, which is an excellent location, making it very convenient whether for shopping by taxi or visiting various attractions. The hotel has an elegant French style throughout, and the lobby is grand and appealing. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was soft and comfortable, making for a great stay. The staff member Mia was friendly and efficient with the check-in process, and all the facilities were well-equipped. Every aspect of the trip was pleasant, with almost no flaws to pick out, making it a wonderful stay. Next time I'm in Kunming, I will not hesitate to choose this hotel again.

The overall stay experience is very good, cost-effective, highly recommended.

This stay truly exceeded my expectations! The family room was decorated so adorably, with colorful cartoon bedding that created a wonderful atmosphere. The wall colors were soft and soothing, and the all-wood wardrobes provided ample storage. The linens and towels were clean and fluffy. The room's window offered a fantastic view directly overlooking Kunming's unique antique-style buildings. Throughout the hotel, exquisite potted plants were strategically placed, creating a beautiful Chinese ambiance at every turn. The location is superb; right outside, you can find authentic Sichuan-Yunnan style noodles, and the surrounding commercial area and old streets are easily accessible. The entire hotel was spotlessly clean, and the service was attentive and thoughtful. It's perfectly suited whether you're traveling with kids or on your own.

Staying at this hotel was such a pleasant surprise! The front desk staff were incredibly warm and attentive throughout my entire stay, providing meticulous and thoughtful service. The bed in the room was wonderfully soft and comfortable – I instantly felt all my travel fatigue melt away. I also really appreciated the smart dry/wet separation design in the bathroom, which made it super convenient to use. The overall decor beautifully blended Chinese style with ethnic elements, creating a charming and classic ambiance that felt truly relaxing. My overall experience was fantastic!
