Read good review about this hotel and their great buffet spread but was very disappointed during our stay on 28 Dec. As we were an extended family with 21 people we had joined a private tour company during our recent Yunnan trip. Hotel provided by tour company in Kunming was Weilong which is also centrally located like New Era. But... More

Stayed 4 nights in this hotel. Located right in the middle of town with plenty of possibilities for dining. Very friendly staff, although little English spoken. Non-smoking room without the smell of smoke (Ask for the Green Floor). Beds on the hard side, but common in China. Well run property and helpfull staff. Huge buffet breakfast with good choice for...

the hotel called me several times on the phone long distance to confirm the booking and arrangements for pick up from the hotel. Excellent service. The hotel room is moderate. More

Hotel offers an excellent breakfast buffet. Small business center and most of the staff does not speak English. Conciege was very helpful and spoke English. We would stay... More

Well-located well-run property with useful airport transfers that are surprisingly free. The lack of daytime air-conditioning in early autumn heat was a tad uncomfortable, and easier customer communication via email would help overseas guests. More

Bellmen who actually come running to get your luggage! Am I in China? Everyone is polite and helpful, the breakfast buffet is great. Rooms are comfortable, but beds too hard. More

I stayed in New Era Hotel in Kunming for 1 night, this was the perfect choice. booked singlae executive room in level 27, room 2702. The hotel was clean, service was good (check in and breakfast are on level 26). breakfast choice is good, and best part is the location of the hotel. Supermarket (Carefour) is just few minutes walk,... More

In Kunming for a night, with limited lodging options, I wasn't looking forward to the New Era. My heart sank on arrival as it's in a traffic clogged backstreet and looks like a typical Chinese binguan. First impressions aren't always valuable, however, as the New Era surprised and delighted on (nearly) every level. Staff were polite and helpful, the rooms... More

Business and holiday trip. Likes : 1. Location was excellent. Close to shopping areas though Kunming is not my preferred shopping destination but the surrounding areas are popular with locals and sufficient sights to keep you occupied for a night or 2. Turning in different directions from the hotel entrance actually gets you to very different window shopping spots so... More
