OK rooms, very good location, rather crude service stuff manners (we checked in at night: the receptionist was talking all the time with the friend and trying to check us in at the same time). Overall good choice if you want to stay in Kunming center. Close to the shopping street and backstreet market.

Stopped here for a night at the beginning of a two week photography workshop. This was a fine choice for location. Right off the main pedestrian square and close to the shopping malls, tourist street and not too far from the lovely lake. Breakfast was wonderful with lots of choices. We had a very functional and clean room with a... More

Hotel is at a good location, with shopping centres and resturants around. The room that I got was on the green floor with great view of the city. It was clean and fruits were top up everyday. There was a tap for drinking water in the bathroom too which was very convenient. However the staffs at the reception were cold... More

Arrived to Kunming late from a flight.booked the place based on price and value according to reviews. Once we arrived, we got to the room. Air conditioning wasn't cooling and it was hot! Went downstairs to the reception. The woman barely spoke English. She said others complained already. I asked to turn on the a/c. She said she doesn't know... More

The facilities are good and breakfast spread is sumptuous. It can be a bit noisy at night depending on which side of the hotel... More

This is the hotel I stay in Kunming every time because of its location and convenience; also because of the service standard has been pretty consistent which does not happen all the time in many Chinese hotels. Stayed at the executive floor for 4 nights, changed 2 rooms due to heavy outdoor noise and a leaking shower, but people were... More

This was my second time staying at the New Era and once again, I was impressed! Everything is as good as you could ask for: nice rooms, helpful staff and definitely the best location in town. The four years since I had stayed at the New Era had served it well, so many new restaurants in the immediate vicinity of... More
