There are many details of this hotel that we find exceptional. First of all, the elevators offer indication as to which one is approaching your floor for the up or down direction you want to go to and they are very quiet. Secondly, they have all the in-suite accessories that you can think of, from full sets of chinaware, glassware and cutlery to complete set of stationary. For a bonus, our 270 degree view suite offers great night view of the city. Last but not least, staff we have encountered, from restaurants to the front desk, are all highly courteous and professional.

Stayed in a club room and it is big and spacious and the bed is comfy too. The view is breathtaking at level 40. The service at the club was top notch with a good list of drinks and food was fresh and delicious.

An excellent stay at Sofitel Kunming. The services are awesome & my room is very clean. A very convenient location as well. Their staff, Jessica is a very outstanding person. She helped me booked my roundtrip train tickets from Kunming to Dali. And more. She is a very responsible & helpful individual. I'd like to give her a 5 Stars out of 5 for her remarkable service as well. I really appreciate everything that she has done. I will stay in Sofitel Kunming again in the future when I'm back.

My fiends stayed at their room had no hot water.
They were put into a room that was not used. Moist with mildew type atmosphere.
That room had issues and repairs were done at 2 am.
Breakfast was far less than expected, no cheese and far too oily foods!
Never again!!!!!!

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.

Hyvä hotelli hyvällä paikalla, lähin metroasema noin sadan metrin päässä. Buffetaamiainen erittäin runsas, suurin osa ruoista kuitenkin paikallisia. Kuntosali hyvin varusteltu hotellin saliksi. Henkilökunnan englanninkielentaito osin huonohko, huoneen viilennys ei toiminut kunnolla.

Très bien mais...
Très bon hôtel, un poil vieillissant : personnel d'accueil très sympathique, grande chambre confortable (malgré le lit trop mou). 2 points noirs et incompréhensibles : les vestiaires de la belle piscine intérieure étaient très sales, notamment les douches ; et le service du restaurant Kwee Zeen est catastrophique. Le buffet est magnifique, mais il n'y a pas de réassort. Les stands sont mal tenus, il manque parfois des couverts pour se servir mais surtout, le restaurant est sensé fermer à 21h30, mais cuisiniers comme serveurs commencent à ranger et nettoyer dès 20h... Dommage...

Bo inte här om du inte kommer från kina!
Ingen. I personalen kan engelska vilket gör alla kommunikation helt omöjlig.
Att få room service tar över 1.5 h
Men rummen på hotellet är väldigt fina!
