Fairyland Hotel Dongfeng Square - Kunming

Location was good, just a few steps from Dongfeng East Metro station exit F. There is a convenient stall next door and some small takeaway eateries on the next lane. Staff were fine. Room size is adequate, wifi works well. The toilet‘s door were see-through glass panel type. So take this into consideration if you wish to stay with a friend.

Great location. Well that's the good points. The hotel is old and tired. Everywhere stinks of cigarette smoke. The reception has a large “non smoking” sign which is totally ignored. Rooms are clean though the sheets and towels should be upgraded to ones without tears and stains. Some of the staff are a little bit interested in providing good service but would not help with taxis. Breakfast was mediocre and quite tasteless. But the location is great - so handy to the central city.

I stayed 2 nights on the 7th level. Hotel has lift. Location is great, in the heart of city centre. Next to the hotel is a convenience store. Staff is friendly and helpful with my enquiries on places to visit and transportation. Room is comfortable, King sized bed, with clean bed and towels. Basic amenities are available - air con, toiletries, hot shower, TV, slippers, tea, hair dryer. I took the buffet breakfast for 2 mornings. Typical Chinese food, value for money as price is 15rmb. What I didn’t like is the shower partition is using opaque glass. There is only one sliding door for shower and toilet, ie either one can be closed at any one time. Overall, a value for money to stay in Kunming. Transportation tips: 1. To hotel - easily accessible by subway, about 100m from the Dongfeng Square station, exit F. 2. To airport - Take express shuttle, fare 25rmb, journey 40mins. Getting to express bus stop - From hotel, walk south towards main junction, turn left and walk along Renmin Dong Lu.
