Ramada Encore by Wyndham Kunming Guandu

Good location, about 10min walk to the railway station which gives peace of mind that we will reach the station without hiccup. Upgraded our room from Comfy Queen room (28sqm) to Queen room (40sqm). Room was clean and spacious. Room service excellent – they came within minutes when reported that TV remote couldn’t work, or asked for extra amenities. Breakfast exceeded my expectation – quite a wide range of food items, even a live station of noodle soup. We were there at 7.40am and nearly couldn’t get a table; but turnaround was fast as we noticed many ate quite fast and left quickly, probably to catch their train. Only thing to note is the lift – while there were four lifts, two were shared with other hotels and commercial units in the same building hence need to give a bit of waiting time to get into a lift.

Very good location where beside the Kunming Train station. Staff is very nice and friendly. Even help us settle everything!

The location is great as it is located near the Kunming Railway Station. The room is very spacious. The staff were also friendly. There's a 7-11 conveniently located just beside the hotel too. The down side for us was the soundproofing of the room as you could hear the noises from the corridor.

I had a great stay at this hotel! The location is perfect close to everything I needed and 8 minutes walk to Kunming Train Station. The room was very clean and well-maintained, which made my stay comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a convenient and pleasant place to stay!

The check-in went far from smooth, staff was very inflexible (they wouldn't allow my girlfriend to check in using her passport, while this was fine in every other hotel in China). They also required a deposit for the non-smoking room which no other hotel so far has asked for. The elevator was very dirty and damaged (see picture) and made the hotel feel sketchy. The room however was perfect, spacious and clean. I booked this room because it was close to the train station and it was sufficient for that but I wouldn't stay here for the area besides that.

Very helpful and lovely reception desk which made me feel welcomed immediately. As it was low season, they upgraded our rooms to a larger one. Thank you. Location wise, they are located within a cluster of other buildings and hotels. Unlike conventional hotel, they do not have their own driveway unfortunately and the main road in front of the hotel (Youping road) isn't ideal for dropping people off nor allowed cars to hang around. That means our car had to alight us about 5 mins away and we were left to fend for ourselves navigating the area in the rain. If you have large heavy luggages or elderly and children to manage, it is advisable to ring them up in advance for direction advise. As we were international guests, we had some issues locating the hotels in the cold rain. Oh well. On the upside, helpful staff, great rooms, well-equipped with everything that you need, simple buffet breakfast. They even helped packed our last day breakfast as we have to catch an early train at the Kunming train station which is about 5-10 mins walk away. The walk is manageable even with my elderly parents but I suggest you do a quick check of the route beforehand as it is a bit of maze in Kunming city. If it rains, it could be troublesome. Fortunately, the rain stopped on the morning we had to leave. Overall, I appreciate the professionalism of this hotel. Plenty of eateries and convenient shops in the area. Lots of flower biscuit shops too for any last minute souvenir purchases and there's also a 7-11 nearby.
