Novotel Kunming City Center

“New and clean hotel in Kunming ”

I was able to contact the hotel via email to check the type of room to book (note this is actually not easy for hotels in China where most of them do not seem to have email address for foreigners to send inquiry).

I was able to contact the hotel via email to check the type of room to book (note this is actually not easy for hotels in China where most of them do not seem to have email address for foreigners to send inquiry). I will like to commend Amber Fang who recommended the room I need: a non loft unit with 2 bedrooms, 2 washrooms and the unit comes with washer and dryer. She also helped to arrange that we get to use another unit for 4 hours so that we can check out in the evening as our flight was late at night. Breakfast is good and the unit has many high tech stuff One thing I like is the night light will be automatically on when getting up at night to visit washroom.

“Stay at the hotel, not the residence”

We stayed in both the Novotel hotel (as planned) as well as Novotel residence (accidentally).

We stayed in both the Novotel hotel (as planned) as well as Novotel residence (accidentally). They are located in the same building but are very different, with shared amenities (breakfast, gym, pool). The daily breakfast is basic, pool has 3 lap lanes, and the gym is well equipped and largely unused. There is free laundry room available to guests to do your own laundry. Our stay in the Novotel hotel (listed as Novotel Hotel Kunming City Center) was as expected: modern, well appointed, comfortable room with a great city view. Bonus was the Dyson hair dryer. Good value. We originally booked the Novotel residence (on Trip.com it was listed as Novotel Living Dianchi) by accident and stayed in a duplex 2 bedroom. For some reason the air conditioning was broken and the staff brought room fans, but it was still unbearably hot. In addition, the second floor had very short ceilings and a bathroom step up that was not well suited for kids or people taller than 1.6 meters. My mom stayed in a separate single bedroom unit and her AC was fine. Rooms lacked hotel amenities since they are serviced apartments. We checked out after one night and switched to the hotel. In summary, the hotel is fine and the residential apartments have inconsistent experience.
