The convenient location was our base for exploring the old streets filled with shops, stalls, restaurants, cafes, historical buildings, as well as new shopping malls across the main road. The friendly front counter lady gave suggestions on places to eat. We tried them and they were all great. The room was clean and comfortable. There’s ceiling heater to keep the shower area warm during winter.

The unique architecture of the building occupied by the hotel makes the public space outside a popular spot for photo taking. Noise made by tourists could be heard day and night. We were fortunately offered a room that was not fronting that part of the public space. The window faced part of a hospital but we didn’t mind as it was much quieter. We managed to sleep well at night.

Beautiful building in a vibrant neighborhood. So fun to see people dancing in the park next door, taking photos of the hotel buildings, etc. Lingling speaks fantastic English and is ready to help with great recommendations, booking drivers or tours, etc. Communication before and during stay was clear and helpful. Room itself was lovely, great shower, robes etc. We would love to stay again!

Because the hotel is right in the heart of it all, they have put in great windows that block out 95% of the sound but if you need complete silence to sleep this may not be the hotel for you - didn’t bother us a bit but an important heads up for some perhaps!

The manager, Ling Ling, is extremely helpful, friendly and passionate. She went out of her way to help us organize our outings, helped us book train tickets and suggested activities for us. She made our stay extra special. I love it that the hotel is in a historic building and the location is incredible. It is right in the heart of Nanping Pedestrian Street and Flower market. Lots of activities the moment we stepped the hotel. A-star for cleanliness. The staff will brew a nice herbal tea and a bowl of fruits, which is a very nice touch.

Not much that I didn't like. It can get a little noisy but it didn't really bother me. I actually like the energy.

It's a beautifully renovated, historic hotel right in the middle of old Kunming --- right where you want to be to explore the city. The rooms have been very nicely refurbished and the hotel staff were so kind with restaurant recommendations and other tips. For example, I loved the longan, date, and wolfberry tea that they prepare for guests in their rooms and so I asked where I could purchase it. Instead the manager even generously helped me to get the right ingredients to take home so I can make it myself!! Really above and beyond.

Honestly, nothing! I would stay here again every time I come to Kunming.

The room has all the comfort you need, even an heated floor for the winter months. Although the weather in Kunming is always pleasant even in winter. The location is fantastic, you can walk around and experience the old part of Kunming and the modern part just minutes away walking. It's perfect for your first time in China! And the reception speaks English, she helps you in anything you need! Very friendly and efficient! Thank you very much, I will come back to this hotel.

Ask for a room at the back side if you are a light sleeper.

Located at the heart of Old Town in an actual heritage building. Very charming themes for room. Clean and complete amenities. Staff are very helpful and that one staff that speaks great English. They even go out of their way to find me an express laundry services.

The street infront of the hotel may be a little noisy, as it is located in actual heritage building and a picture spot. If you close the window it should be ok.

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.
