HUALUXE Kunming by IHG

This hotel truly exceeded my expectations with its exceptional attention to detail. From the moment I arrived, the service felt personal and thoughtful—especially thanks to our dedicated concierge, Yuan Yuan, who went above and beyond. After checking in, she helped me plan the perfect itinerary, even stepping in when I missed the spa soaking time by preparing a bath kit with salts and a tub cover. She also guided me through the entire bathing process, making it feel seamless and relaxing. The staff were incredibly professional—the humidifier was cleaned before use, and everything from the latex pillows to charging cables was thoughtfully provided. Even small things like reminders if I left something behind showed how genuinely cared for I felt. The room itself offered a serene view of distant mountains and endless skies, turning every moment into a peaceful escape. This isn’t just a stay—it’s a memorable experience that delivers luxury, comfort, and genuine hospitality.

Howard Johnson LakeView Hotel Kunming

Staying at Howard Johnson LakeView Hotel Kunming was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Dianchi Lake and Haigeng Dam, offering serene views and fresh air. My room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and comfortably furnished with a soft bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. All amenities were well-maintained and thoughtfully provided—from the mini-fridge to the kettle. What truly stood out was the exceptional service: front desk staff member Vito went above and beyond by upgrading my room free of charge. His friendly attitude and professionalism left a lasting impression. Plus, the hotel offers bicycles for guests, making it easy to explore nearby attractions at your own pace. For the price, the value-for-money aspect is outstanding. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kunming—it’s a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and great service.
