Excellent position, right in the center of the old town. Historic building, smartly restored. Large and comfortable room. There was no air conditioning, but the ceiling fan was more then enough. Good English spoken. Complete and helpful suggestions for restaurants, and help for buying a sim card nearby.

Bed a bit too soft, not great for the back, had some difficult sleeping (but it was also the first days, so VERY jet-lagged). Room was right on the pedestrian plaza, can get quite noisy until quite late. Not completely sure about this one, but here goes: we asked if we could stay an extra night, and we were given the same price as the other nights. Which would be ok, if the price wasn't around 100 yuan lower on the booking app for that night, *I think* for the same room category (realized only afterwards).

We enjoy our 3 nights in Moon & Chalice Boutique Hotel -- a 100+ years historical building. The hotel manager Ling Ling was very helpful. She helped us to book a driver to pick us up at the airport, helped us to register a China number at the nearest China Mobile, and also treat us tea in the afternoon. We love the tea prepared in our room every night when we back to the hotel too! There are also 3 books in the room for us to browse through... The extra service made the whole experience warm and welcome!

The bathroom has no hook to hang our clothes.

The hotel is in a beautifully restored old art-deco building, right in the center of Kunming with the shops, restaurants and night market. The metro station is also withing walking distance. The green lake within walking distance as well. A special thumbs-up for Lingling, the manager, who does everything within her possibilities to assist her guests. She borrowed me a sim card the first day and went with me to the service centre of the provider to buy a sim card and stayed there in the queue with me until they actually installed the card in my phone. Thank you, Lingling, you are the best !

Nothing. I didn't read the welcome message that was sent to me prior to my arrival, so it was my own fault that I couldn't find the hotel reception at first, because I was standing in front of the closed entrance door to the secondary building of the hotel in the street. But after asking around and in the restaurant I got to the reception desk in the main buiding. It was clearly explained in the welcome message though ....

This hotel (and its neighborhood) exceeded my expectations. Moon and Chalice is a beautifully designed hotel in a historical building. We only stayed in Kunming for one night, but we should have stayed longer. The area around the hotel is very cosy, has many small bars, shops etc. I would like to especially thank Mrs. Zhanglingling. She went the extra mile and more. Mrs. Zhanglingling helped us to get SIM cards - which is not easy in China. It took about 2 hours. Afterwards she escorted us to the train-station to help us buying tickets. Thank you so much!!

It was a little warm. Apparently due to the fact that it is a historical building, they’re not allowed to install AC. There were plenty of fans though.

Zhang Ling Ling is the perfect concierge. She is the hotel gem. She went out of the way to help me with every little thing (and I had a lot of little annoying troubles in China being a foreigner and making a last minute unprepared trip) and she made my Kunming trip so memorable and precious. The hotel was great too. I asked for a quiet room and got one. Was upgraded to a much bigger room also. All amenities were provided and bottled water was replenished daily in multiples. I love the pretty room slippers also. Also have daily homemade Chinese sweet soup (dates wolfberry longan) in the room and fruits. Am not a fan of the tea but it is a nice touch for those that do or want to try Chinese taste.. Ling Ling feeds me homemade ginger tea every night if she sees me at night! She is also on wechat constantly helping me when I am wandering in Kunming. She needs a big payrise! Hope the owner is reading this review. Location was perfect too. Close to metro, old town, big malls, night market, street food etc.. And love the art deco style of the hotel building too. I had my morning coffees at Daily Coffee which is also located in the hotel building.

Nothing to do with the hotel at all but just a reminder to non-Chinese nationals to sort out Alipay/wechat payment to pay for everything and overseas vpn (before arriving in China) to access local internet searches as these gave me a lot of headache. Foreign credit cards linked to Alipay works intermittently for me and Google search and many websites doesn't work on local WiFi so I kept using up and paying for mobile data. Alternatively buy a Chinese sim card!

I like the location, very strategic and central despite the noise. Very close to everything! In the heart of the old town, close to food area, historical places of old town, also close to shopping centers (malls if you need anything). The manager is very helpful and speaks english. She was very kind to organise me a trip with local tourists to Stone Forest at a very reasonable local price. She helped me to get local food and move around with taxi or metro. The room is lovely and clean with good facilities and equipment. They also upgraded my room, so a plus point!

The location is very in the center of Kunming old town and is an iconic building. So it is so noisy during the day and night. Only quiet after 1 am and before 8pm. Many tourists take pictures and pose in front of the hotel, so it gets very noisy. Also, it is very close to Yunnan People Monument, so it could be more noisy My room is very at the front of the main street, so at night cars also pass by. I wish they have aircon, not only fan. It could be a little warm in the afternoon, and my trip was the end of July. If you want more quite room, ask for room at the back side of the building.

Though our room was facing the pedestrian walkway, the double glazed window blocked off all the street noises. The staff were super helpful with our needs and also gave us alot of tips of food options and they were really worth the effort to find and try.

As it was a conservation building, no aircon was installed but the fan and cool weather felt like there was aircon.

Everything! Stylish and equipped with beautiful historical furniture, attentive service from Nining and her colleague, who were extremely helpful with recommendations and being supportive when any doubts came up, and unbeatable location where everything is happening in Kunming’s old/central district. Would definitely stay again! Oh and the bathtub in our room was insane!

Nothing. :-)

The hotel is housed in a historic 1944 building built with the Americans as a celebration of success in WW2. Art Deco style. The decor and style of the rooms is attractive. The building is very safe and sturdy, build for war time. The hotel is next to the old town in central Kunming. We arrived at around 4 am and called the hotel. The owner was cheerful and called to wake the receptionist for a smooth check-in. When we found the room too hot, the hotel allowed us to shorten our stay without charge. Nice views from every room.

The building absorbs heat during the day and it was quit hot at night. None of the rooms have air conditioning. We would only stay there in the future in cool or cold weather.

We discovered the hotel by chance, and it turns out it was such a gem. The room was so comfortable and cozy, clean and pretty, the hotel was in such a lovely location with a local flavor and in a historical building, which is something rare. I slept on one of the most comfortable beds I slept on in all hotels. The room has floor heating in the winter, which is such comfort. The staff were warm and helpful and welcoming. I'd definitely return and would recommend it to anyone.

Nothing.
