Nostalgia S Hotel(Kunming Dongfeng Square)

Nostalgia S Hotel(Kunming Dongfeng Square)

10/10 Excellent
"Very well organised and thoughtful hotel. It provides free simple take away breakfast 5am-7am if going out early and free simple afternoon tea and supper 9-11pm everyday. Some snacks and drinks are free complimentary inside the room. The staff is very helpful and polite. One thing needs improvement is the drying machine inside the freezer laundry room is extremely slow. Surprisingly it takes more than 10 hours to dry clothing."
