I would not recommend this hotel.

My family and I stayed here in Jan. 2009. There's no heater in the hotel and it was quite cold. But, I've been told that a lot of hotels in the area also don't have heat. Kunming in Jan. is pretty cold. The worst part is that without a heater, there was just this damp and cold feeling in the hotel.

We paid $220 RMB for a room with three single beds.

The location is good; there's a lot of shopping around the area. Incredibly, there's even a Wal-Mart next door.

The towels in the hotel were SO bad that we ended up having to just buy our own towels at Wal-Mart.

The only good thing about the hotel is it's excellent staff. They were very quick to respond to all the requests that we made for extra water, blankets, etc. more
