10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Staffs and Mangers are very nice, when I checked in, they processed very efficiently. The room is very clean, they even provide shoe mitt. Breakfast is excellent, many delicious dashes, all you can eat buffet. The hotel located in center of Kunming, Metro is nearby, a luxury shopping center just a few minutes walking distance, very convenient for shopping and fun. There is Tuo Dong sports complex nearby, I did my morning run over-there. Very happy experience in this hotel, I will definitely go back to it again, strongly recommended to everyone."
