Kunming Yulinlin Hotel (South Asia)

Really loved my stay at Yilinlin (100 in mandarin, very punny!) the loft style room is unique and made the room feel spacious, with high windows and ceilings that let us have great views! There is 1 toilet in each floor, with the shower + bath (as well as a sauna I’m impressed!) on the 2nd floor where the bed is. The room was clean and looked new and modern. The staff at the reception were friendly + hospitable and it was easy to communicate with them via WeChat if we had any questions or requests (e.g. to tidy the room). Location is great - it’s near the metro and it’s convenient for Didi pick up to travel to various city attractions. It’s still a distance away from the main city attractions like Green Lake Park and Kunming Old Street but with Didi being so affordable and readily available, it’s honestly worth it compared to taking the metro especially if you’re travelling with older folks and/or kids. There are shopping malls in walking distance so it’s easy to get a wide variety of food and shopping options! I discovered quite a number of nice and famous bakeries in the shopping malls. If I ever have the chance to come back to Kunming, I would love to stay here again!

Location is sited at the same building as Novotel. Very near to the mall and supermarket. Can get food easily. Loft design which is unique to many hotel but would reconsider as it will require you to go up and down non stop if you forget to bring things. Can didi everywhere as well! Toilet has a smell that has issue with ventilation and thus, better to use the level 1 toilet.

The location is good and it has a couple of malls around in a rather porch area. The room is big but some things can be definitely improved, for example, the couch is really bad and got no support and not comfortable at all, the bathroom smells very bad. Other than this, I'm quite happy about it
