“Worth every penny”

Value wise my 19 days stay at Crowne Plaza is worth every penny I paid for. We were given a decent sized resort feel - hotel room with a beautiful view of the lake and the Colorful Yunnan Park. Our package includes buffet breakfast for 2 and four nights a week buffet dinners and 3 nights ala carte dinners for 2 as well . Free wifi and free fruit trays weekly and 3 free laundry everyday. Location. The hotel is located a bit far from the Kunming City Center. That’s how we like it, less traffic and quiet but accessible to all means of transportation. It is a stone throw to the Dian Wharf and the Colorful Yunnan Park. It is also accessible to all the Tourist Attractions. Cleanliness. The hotel’s facade is antique and old but inside it is quite modern, very clean and simple. I noticed that after every big event during the National Holiday, they clean up even if it takes them till dawn to dismantle their outdoor setup. I see cleaning ladies roaming around during the big event too, Cleaning after guests at the garden and at the dining area. Toilets in the lobby and even in our room is kept fresh-smelling and clean too. Service. The hotel staff are mostly Locals but there are a few who can manage a good conversation in English. They go out of their way to help and address all my concerns be it transporation, shopping, billing, food ordering, hotel seating and the like. For Hotel Packages and other administrative concerns, and other personal concerns Big Boss Carol is 100% reliable. Other staff like Boss Catherine, Boss Johnny, Boss Nina and Ms Joe gets my thumbs up too. They offer their geniune service and nothing less. Plus points for me for this hotel is their generous food buffet which includes variety meat and variety of seafood. I love seafoods. I love the boiled crabs and the crawfish( just guessing the name 😂😂😂) Their grilling crews are the best. They grill the best squid and mushrooms.

“The hotel is just OK”

This is the first time that I have been to Yunnan. I came to the hotel for the 3 days meetings.

This is the first time that I have been to Yunnan. I came to the hotel for the 3 days meetings. The hotel itself is quite basic, and in particular, don't expect too much in comparison to the Western hotels. The dinning options are quite limited and the breakfast, seafood / hotpot buffet, is just very basic. The hotel room comes with reasonable size. The bed was comfy too. People may talked about the theme park and how noise it is, but it shuts around 8pm so it would not really bother you anyway. To be honest, there is not much stuff nearby so I would not say it is like a resort which comes with lots of expectation. Just a tip, please arrange airport transfers otherwise I don't think the taxi will go that far away from the city centre and vice versa. An hour by driving if there is no traffic.

“Great resort hotel with poor management”

This hotel is far away from the city, more like a resort. Room was new, clean, and big, with comfy bed and big balcony. Unfortunately there's only 1 restaurant and it's not very good. Ordered room service twice during my stay, one came really late and the other one came with wrong order. The hotel … more

This hotel is far away from the city, more like a resort. Room was new, clean, and big, with comfy bed and big balcony. Unfortunately there's only 1 restaurant and it's not very good. Ordered room service twice during my stay, one came really late and the other one came with wrong order. The hotel is attached to a theme park, so forget about sleep-in. There's not much in the neighborhood except the theme park, but I'm told that this is a new area that's still developing.
