Crowne Plaza KUNMING CITY CENTRE by IHG, an IHG Hotel

First thing I noticed when arriving at Crowne Plaza Kunming City Centre is very nice short drive-way direct to the main entrance, under covered. Check-in was smooth and fast. Staff was courteous and helpful, speaking excellent English as well. The room was quite big, with a small balcony. Very clean, comfortable, and well furnished with all the small items found in a luxury hotel. Rooms was serviced and stocked-up everyday. There was an award winning Chinese restaurant on the 4th floor with very nice foods and at a reasonable prices. Service was also excellent. Breakfast and western meal are at 2nd floor - great variety of choices for the buffet breakfast. The location of the hotel was just nice for us, as it is just 300-400m away from a very nice food street and big food court with many many types of choices. It was also very easy to get a taxi or Didi to / from the hotel as they all knew where it is.

Hotel is in the centre of City easy access to most places such as Old St and Kunming Station, very near to a food street & a big "food court" with lots of choices. The Chinese Restaurant at 4th floor is reasonably prices with excellence services and very tasty dishes. Breakfast at 2nd floor is also exceptional with local, tribal, western many choices. The air conditioning in the room is on the warmer side which is a bit uncomfortable, otherwise an exceptional room & great services.

The hotel has big clean rooms with comfy beds. AC works well and double glazed windows keeps sound out. Close to two metro stations, pedestrian streets, restaurants and bars. The breakfast buffet has a large selection of Western and Asian choices, and is so filing you can skip lunch! Some staff speak some littke English, the rest are happy to use a translation app.
