Although I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, it had some drawbacks. I found the hotel decor charming, and the scenic setting outside of the city near Dianchi Lake really suited my needs. It was also right next door to the Cultural Village which had a market and food stalls. However, there was some difficulty communicating with the hotel staff and there wasn't a restaurant on-site other than an unusual breakfast buffet. Also, I arrived in Kunming from Canada at midnight and it was difficult to find a taxi driver who was willing to drive the 20 mins out of town to this unheard of hotel - plus the 20 minutes became an hour because we couldn't find the hotel on the isolated road. I did enjoy the green surroundings and the loveliness of the hotel though.
