Great modern hotel. Spacious room w comfortable bed. Wonderful breakfast buffet. Very friendly staff and great service. Jessica at the reception desk went out of her way to make us feel welcome, as did the other staff members.The hotel is close to the train ststion, an additional plus if you want to travel to other Yunnan areas.

there were issues that should be fixed. the bathroom has not enough light for shaving. the desk power plug door has hinges that make it difficult to open. there is power only on one side of the bed. Noise on our final night from the water riser. there was no control to turn off the bed side lamps without turning all lights off. Happy hour was great. the people working at the hotel were wonderful but few spoke English. however, with all the new translators that was not a big issue. i think we were the only foreigners in the hotel. very nice looking place with fantastic views.

This hotel could be one of the best Sofitel I have had stayed. Staff were warm and helpful, Dennis at front desk even helped us packed some larger gift items we bought, breakfast was to die for, view of the city and the lake from our room at 37 floor was unforgettable, this hotel has its uniqueness, love our 4 nights’ stay, so enjoyable.

Not up to 5 stars standard!
First off: I have called in to request my room to have flowers for my g/f. Nothing at all! Second: We had to wait 20 mins for our room to get ready 3rd: location was terrible, as no good shopping malls near our area 4th: Our room condition was not good. Please renovate it! But I have to say Sofitel restaurants, swimming pool and gym were pretty impressive. Hope next time I will have a better experience.

A comfortable stay, paired with helpful staff, and an excellent breakfast. Room was more than enough in terms of space and amenities and clean. Great views of the surrounding area and on main roads and therefore easy to get a taxi. I would highly recommend Sofitel Kunming.

Lovely piece of luxury for a weekend getaway
Super hotel. Everything was lovely and we were made to feel welcome by all the members is staff. The breakfast was particularly good, and we loved the cocktails in the bar - grea view of Kunming too. Only downside is that the hotel is south of th city centre proper so there is not too much to do in the immediate vicinity.

Very nice 5 star hotel in Kunming. This was our second time staying here, and although I was more ‘wowed’ on my first arrival last year (fresh fruit in our room, hotel provided extra touches) - this time was more of a standard hotel experience. Clean rooms, good amenities, steam room sauna and pool. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was mandatory to wear swimming caps in the pool. But overall I like this hotel, the buffet is really good.

Experience far beneath Sofitel’s usual standards
Among the dozen or so Sofitels I’ve stayed at, this is the one that fell clearly short. A small part of it is due to underwhelming service standards, but the major contributing factor may be the kind of crowd it attracts. There were drunken women openly cajoling the nouveau rich in the lobby; there were unsophisticated domestic tourists poking curiously at the cheeses at the breakfast buffet and speaking loudly along the corridors at 7am. There was also a used condom box underneath one of the beds, thankfully with no condoms. For once, I was glad, rather than sad, that my stay at a Sofitel was short.
