Customer Reviews Kunming - Camellia
| 15 Aug 2011 Julie, France | 53% | |
| Fair in average, to be improved.
+: Service at bar/café. Quiet.
-: 1) we reserved a double bed room and got a twin bed room (not nice for a couple). 2) Room infested with mosquitos at night, sleeping was like hell. 3) Computers with internet never available. 4) Few information on tours and city buses routes; available info sometimes erroneous.

| Fresh flowers are dotted around the common areas - nice touch. Being able to sit in the peaceful garden area makes a nice change in China. | ||
