I totally agree with several of the previous reviews. This hotel has seen better days. The old style TV jutted into the room, which cut down on space. The air-conditioning didn't work. the bathroom had a weird set up with the shower in the bathroom next to the bath with no screen. There was a smell of cigarette smoke even... More

The service was Ok. At least for the first five star Hotel in Kunming was it quite good. More

Stayed here for 2 nights for a friend's wedding (all the guests were booked into this hotel). Whilst this hotel has a 5 star rating it has clearly seen better days and at best this could now be described as a "Chinese 4 star".

Taxis in Kunming are really cheap, with taxis costing no more than €2 anywhere in town. The hotel is located about 5 minutes walk from... More

I suppose for saving electricity, the romm was hot when I arrived and was told that the A/C comes on at 4:30 in the afternoon. It did but they didn't tell me the A/C will be off and on for different time intervals. The room was so hot I cannot sleep at night. Don't try the buffet, it was so... More
