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.

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.

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!

LingLing was amazing, got me up to speed with the Kunming mobile scene, Alipay, wechat. She booked restaurants, recommended sites and was a wonderfully patient guide for the city. Hotel is indeed an icon right in the heart of the old quarter, don't miss the morning cart vendors

Taxi hustle at the airport... just take the subway.
