Hotels in Dianchi Lake Scenic Area, Kunming

This is the second time I’ve booked this hotel and also the second time I’m impressed with the hotel service. I’ve touched down Kunming too early and since I’m tired from late night flight, I head straight to the hotel after I’ve landed although I understand check in cannot be so early. The concierge was nice to allow me and my partner to enjoy breakfast (we booked stay with breakfast) while waiting for guests to check out as their hotel was fully booked. Right after our breakfast, the concierge saw us and quickly chased up the cleaning staff to tidy up the room asap so guests can check in earlier. I appreciate their thoughtfulness in this and was lucky to check in in the morning although the stated check-in time is 2pm. I also appreciate the cleaning staff attentiveness to us as we prefer the room to be clean up every 2 days instead of daily. (We book 4 nights there). She keeps checking in with us as she is worried we run out of drinking water, tissue paper, toilet roll and clean towel almost every morning. On our last day, we came back to our room around late afternoon and she thoughtfully hang a laundry bag filled with drinking water bottles and even new pack of tissue on our door. (We leave do not disturb button on while we went out.) The hotel staff at lobby was also very attentive when we get out of Didi outside in the rain, he runs towards us with umbrella to shield us from rain. I also enjoy hotel breakfast very much as I arrived in Kunming with weak stomach and needed non spicy and easy food to ingest. They provided a great range of food that suits foreigners, children and even sick adults like me. Thank you Dianyu Yunling, I know I can trust this hotel’s service level and will return to this hotel again for my next Kunming trip!

This garden hotel is absolutely stunning! The garden is like a huge energy field; a walk through it every evening recharges you. A big thank you to the lovely front desk lady who arranged a beautiful room with a direct view of the garden – it was so refreshing to open the window each day. The swimming pool is also fantastic! It's deep and spacious, with excellent water quality, making for a truly enjoyable swim. The room was cleaned promptly, and the housekeepers thoughtfully left four bottles of water, all neatly arranged! I was able to add the butler on WeChat, and during my five-night stay, I received fruit for three days, and two cans of coffee as a farewell gift! Our room rate included breakfast and dinner, and for all five nights, the food at the restaurant was consistently excellent! The Yunnan local dishes, in particular, were so delicious they almost brought tears to my eyes! The rice noodles were incredible, with four different types of toppings! I had rice noodles for both breakfast and dinner! The fruit selection was also abundant, with seven or eight varieties. I especially loved their freshly squeezed juices, particularly the cucumber juice. And they have an Indian chef whose flying bread and curry are simply divine! The location is superb! A short walk through Haigeng Hall leads you directly to Haigeng Dam, making it incredibly convenient to see the seagulls! Xishan and Haihong Wetland are also not far, perfect for a leisurely stroll. I hope to stay at InterContinental Hotel again on my next visit to Dianchi Lake. The quality and service far exceeded my expectations!

The room was incredibly clean, so much so that even the faucets were sparkling. They provided plenty of bottled water, and the mini-fridge was stocked with complimentary Coke and hawthorn juice. Plus, they delivered coffee daily, and the Yunnan coffee was excellent – they even had a high-end Gemilai coffee machine at the front desk. The best part was the EV charging station; the slow charge at 80 cents per kilowatt-hour was a real bargain. If I had to suggest an improvement, it would be the fixed breakfast menu. It was a bit monotonous, especially for guests like us who stayed for several days. A buffet option would be a great addition.

The hotel is located near Dianchi Lake. If you turn right after exiting, there's a large Haigeng Park about 200 meters away. I was on a business trip, so I didn't get a chance to explore it. I stayed for 5 days and 4 nights and was very satisfied. The room's layout was well-thought-out, a definite plus! The hotel's environment is quiet and the facilities are all new. The breakfast was rich and plentiful; I feel like I've gained weight in just two days! 🥰

Facilities: I really love the hotel's subtle Nanyang-style charm, especially the super-large balcony with a rocking chair. In the evening, the whole family can sit on the balcony, listen to the breeze, chat, and soak in Kunming's slow pace. Cleanliness: The cleanliness is impeccable. I have a slight obsession with cleanliness, especially sensitive to any odors in bedding. But even a Virgo with a clean freak personality wouldn't find a single flaw here. This deserves high praise! 👍🏻 Environment: The hotel is located within a tourist area, offering a tranquil escape from the bustling city. Although it faces the street, it's not noisy. Dining and leisure options nearby are very convenient. For ease of travel, the hotel even arranges a private car transfer service to and from the drop-off/pick-up points, which is so thoughtful! ❤️ Additionally, for hiking enthusiasts, the nearby Dianchi Caohai and Dongfeng Dam are fantastic places to visit, with breathtaking scenery. Service: 💯. From arrival to departure, the butler provided meticulous care almost throughout our stay. Upon arrival, we were immediately offered hot towels and fresh flower cakes, and our room had welcome fruit. For breakfast the next day, we could customize our order before 8 PM the previous evening, with a rich variety of delicious and healthy options! Overall Impression: A very satisfying stay, especially enjoyed by the children. Fantastic!

The hotel's overall design seems quite old, and I'm not sure if it's been renovated since. However, the hygiene was good, the service was fine, and the breakfast was excellent with lots of local dishes. Although the hotel garden isn't very large, it has many small animals, making it perfect for kids. There's also a family of black cats, which are incredibly cute. It's a shame the pool wasn't usable; considering Kunming's temperatures, it probably only gets a few usable days a year, which feels like a bit of a waste.

My stay at Jiangye Hotel was a pleasant surprise. The front desk staff were warm and friendly, and they even upgraded my room for free. The hotel is conveniently located directly opposite a park, which was perfect for an after-dinner stroll. The room itself was clean and spacious, the environment was quiet and pleasant, and the overall service was attentive. It's definitely a worthwhile choice for anyone visiting Kunming. The breakfast was pretty good too!

Room Type: My room on the third floor had a small courtyard and was a loft style. I had originally booked for three nights, but being a light sleeper, I found the noise from either the air conditioner or solar water heater a bit loud after the first night. After speaking with the butler, we were upgraded to a duplex garden chess and card family room for the second and third nights. This room had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, was very spacious at 135 square meters, and offered a much better experience. Hygiene: The room was clean and tidy, with a smart toilet and a strong shower. Service: Our butler was very enthusiastic, attentive, and thoughtful. He helped with pick-up, drop-off, and luggage, and provided water, hangers, and anything else we needed during our stay. Big thumbs up to him (I didn't catch his name, so I'll just call him the 'chubby young man' for now 😀). Surrounding Environment: Not far from the hotel, there's Dianchi Green Island, where people jog and cycle. The environment is beautiful and the air is fresh, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation. Minor Drawback: The breakfast selection was a bit limited, though it was very healthy. It would have been even better with more variety. Overall, it's worth staying here, and I would choose it again next time.

This is the only place I want to stay in Kunming. Walking into the lobby feels like coming home. The service is incredibly thoughtful and attentive, and every staff member makes you feel welcome. This year, they even added a late-night congee service, which is a really warm touch. The smart robot attendant is adorable; she delivered items to our room, and when my companion closed the door before taking everything out, she patiently waited outside until everything was collected before smiling and leaving. The hotel's location is excellent, very close to Haigang Park and Haihong Wetland Park, making it super convenient for feeding seagulls and enjoying the scenery. It's also near 1903, so you can easily go there for dinner and shopping in the evening. When we checked out, Kunming had a cold snap, and the lovely front desk staff gave us warm bottled water, tamarind candy, and moisturizing hand cream. My companion kept raving about the service at 1903 Atour and said they'd tell their family to stay here every time they visit from now on.

I stumbled upon a real gem of a hotel! For just over 300 a night, the room felt like a Southeast Asian resort. The balcony view is absolutely stunning, and it was so relaxing to just feel the breeze and take in the scenery. It's conveniently located near Haigang Park, Yunnan Nationalities Village, and the Dianchi Lake Cableway, making sightseeing a breeze. A huge plus: the laundry room was never crowded, and all the staff were incredibly friendly. This place is unbeatable for value for money – I highly recommend it!
