Sofitel Kunming

Reviewed By zhurj

I was so impressed with this hotel that I'm compelled to write a review on Tripadvisor. I read the amazing reviews for the Sofitel before booking a room, and my experience at Sofitel Kunming justified the great reviews. Frankly, the reviews and pictures of the hotel don't do justice to what a great hotel this is and the service level. At every level of staff, they were going above and beyond the call of duty. Very polite, positive and helpful (just making you feel great), aside from attending to our needs in the room or help from the concierge, they go out of their way to make my stay feel special. plus they got me a high floor city view room, the urban landscape was amazing throughout the day. Here I have to mention the front desk, Mia, who was so friendly and helpful towards me and my friend from check-in to check out answered our questions and explained the restaurant and hotel activities hours. I would recommend this hotel to all my friends who want to visit Kunming.

Really noisy hotel

Reviewed By alexviajarelmundo

A really noisy and old hotel (very old windows, not soundproof at all). Went to sleep at 4 but awoken by alarm sound in the corridor at 7am. They then give me a room facing the street, which is so noisy that is impossible for me fall asleep. Overall a really terrible experience. Got no sleep for a room that i intend to sleep in!

Disappointing food experience

Reviewed By sonamc492

We stayed at indigo but had our breakfast and dinner in Intercontinental. The buffet breakfast was so mediocre, with hardly any choice. Quite disappointing for an intercontinental hotel. We had dinner and whatever we ordered from the beer list was apparently not available. I ordered tuna salad with potatoes and the tuna were stinky and spoiled. The staff tried hard and were pleasant, however, the whole food experience was horrible. No wonder we were the only people in the restaurant.

Perfection

Reviewed By RubinaRH

We traveled around Yunnan for 9 days, and Lijiang was our last stop. Traveling with my husband and 2 children, this place was absolute perfection. A very warm welcome, hot tea and snacks, and friendly/helpful staff were just what we needed when we arrived at the hotel. Staff went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable, especially my children. The rooms were very clean and very well decorated. Absolute comfort. The breakfast had a lot of variety - I especially loved that there were homemade items!! We had dinner at the hotel...and the food was absolutely fresh and delicious! Even their cocktails were superb. This place is a must stay. Not only is the hotel fabulous, the staff are incredible...the location of the hotel is fantastic (in Shuhe old town). Everything was just perfect. We will surely recommend this hotel to all our friends and will surely visit again! Thank you for all the kindness. : )

not worth a detour

Reviewed By rootin4putin

I only went for lunch but the experience was well below expectations. Yes the building is beautiful and the location at one time may have been peaceful - now there is construction everywhere - in and out of the hotel. Nobody welcomed me, not even a smile, nobody said goodbye. The food was surely below the standard the staff themselves would eat - far worse than is available in the village at 20% of the price. I was happy to leave and very pleased i did not stay there. The pool is closed

bad service / management

Reviewed By Michael O

They refused to give me a paper invoice at reception. I need this for company accounting. I never had a hotel refuse to give me an invoice for my stay, and I'm even a platinum IHG member (I even showed them the paper invoices I had from other IHG hotels). The manager wouldn't even let me take a photo of their own paper invoice that I had to sign. Really strange and unacceptable. Won't stay here again. Also their speakers are broken so the music in the lobby and restaurants has a painful sound everywhere you walk. Bad management!
