I stayed in the Best Yue Hang hotel, which is the only
hotel at Kunming Airport. There’s a shuttle bus from the far side of the
arrivals level outside door 3, though the hotel’s website doesn’t tell you
that! It looked like it was every 30 minutes at xx10 and xx40 from the
airport. It is walkable if you know where you’re going (arrivals level,
turn right, past the coach station, down a short set of steps , and keep
walking through that car park and the following bus park). The hotel is a
typically extravagant Chinese hotel where demand is not what they expected so
lots of cost saving measures such as no restaurants, air con turned off
etc. The toilet and shower cubicle were both glass sides and faced in to
the room with no other doors! Each had a shower curtain but far from sufficient
to protect modesty. Pay for individual rooms here, higher even numbers
for the airport/runway view
