"Advantages: The location is very convenient, the complex is close to the train station, there are many restaurants downstairs, the bed is quite comfortable with a small lamp and a closet, and the mattress is very comfortable without being too firm. The facilities are also quite complete, with a washing machine, plenty of clothes hangers, and a kitchen for cooking.
Disadvantages: You need to put on your own duvet cover and make your bed (if you're on the top bunk, doing this is really tiring), which might not be suitable for late-night guests. After a long day, making your own bed is tiring and might disturb other guests. The room space is quite cramped; the beds seem to take up all the space. There are no closets, and with long-term tenants, there's absolutely no place to put luggage. After two days, I had to put my suitcase on the living room balcony. Because there's no storage, the long-term tenants' belongings are also left out, making it look very messy."

GGuest UserThe apartment is very clean, it's been cleaned every day. Bed is comfortable and bedroom is quiet. Living room is beautiful. The owner is friendly, helpful and hard working woman. Location is near railway station and there is a lot of restaurants in the neighborhood. Thank you for hosting me!

GGuest UserI booked the Single room because I wanted to have a calm night but I also wanted to socialise that’s why I booked a hostel. First of all the receptionist was the cutest! She helped me with everything and was so kind. My room was big and the view from the balcony was spectacular. BUT the bed was really really really hard. You could feel the metal feather coming through. The receptionist gave me a few blankets to make the bed softer which helped. But if you are a sensitive sleeper I can’t recommend. In the end I slept better than expected. But keep in mind, it’s still a hostel. So, you will hear doors being shut regularly. If you are sensitive this will wake you up. The hostel itself is really cute and nice! The views are amazing. If you want to meet locals this is the perfect place. I didn’t meet any other foreign travelers here though. You can also wash and cook here. So all in all it’s a good and cheap hostel IF you are not a sensitive sleeper.

KKa-LaLaLaIt is our own fault but we did not realise that this was so far out of the city and at the entrance gate of a cultural Stockade. The host was helpful but there was a bit of an odour from the bathroom.  if your purpose to stay here is to see the cultural stock then this would be a good location but there are no restaurants nearby.  There was a nice view from our window of the lake and some beautiful traditional architecture to walk around and see in the area.

GGuest UserThis hostel is really great and the boss is good. I highly recommend everyone especially foreigners to make contact with the boss prior to arriving so you don’t get lost like me🤣🤣. I called the boss via trip.com app, and he replied to me straight away. He is very good at responding and quickly helped me. The hostel is thoroughly cleaned and has a kitchen. The location is great. The boss also recommended me some places I can visit in Kunming.

MMingyuA hotel with a very folk-style environment, it is relatively clean in a village, and behind it is the folk customs. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from the village to Dianchi Lake. The whole feeling is surrounded by strong ethnic culture. It is a good travel experience. It is also close to eating, and there are more famous ethnic restaurants nearby.

GGuest UserFirst time staying at a youth hostel, and it was a great experience!
First off, the environment was really good. Both the sleeping areas and the bathrooms/toilets were very clean, with no grime or unpleasant odors. You do need to bring your own toothbrush cup, toothbrush, and a bag for your clothes. Checking in and storing your belongings is done with a card, which is very convenient and secure, so you don't have to worry about your roommates. Everyone was quiet, mostly keeping to themselves without much interaction.
Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, and the price was excellent too.

GGuest UserThe staff here is quite nice, they give you a disposable towel (a nightmare for the environment but it's a kind gesture, though), there is free drinking water at the reception and there was a washing machine that was free to use. The building is super interesting and has a very cool cylinder-shaped courtyard where people love taking photos. The building is full of artsy places and cafés. The reception is on another floor and quite far away from the dorm, though. That also means that most people will stay in the dorm, eating, being on phones etc. The problem here is that the hostel failed to put up signs that food isn't allowed in the rooms so you can't point those guests towards it. What is normal in almost every other country isn't normal in this one. Whenever I have a roommate who feels like he needs to burp every 30 seconds, fart and clear his throat at the same time, I want to book a ticket out of this country immediately. At this hostel I was also unlucky in that regard. I'm mentioning this because certain types of hostels attract certain types of people. These Chinese-style squat toilets they have here mean that you will stand in someone else's piss every time you enter the bathroom. And that toilet is right underneath you when you take a shower.

TToulaishHad a wonderful stay here. I felt at home in this place. The owner and daughter are very friendly and helpful. The lower bunks are actually bigger than usual bed bunks. The location is excellent! It is right in the heart of the city center. There are many affordable restaurants in the area. Kunming city center is charming 😍. Overall, I had a good and positive experience staying in this hostel.

PPuteri KhalidaIf you just waiting for train or would like to stay for a short period of time and didnt care about the toilet, you can stay here. The toilet is outside, for us its creepy to go to toilet at night due to dim light and we had to go all of us. Overall since we waiting for our train early in the morning, it really helps us in short of time since we can just walked.
