Hostels in Yunnan, China

Excellent value for money! The beds are clean and the common areas have a fantastic atmosphere, making it easy to meet backpackers from all over the world. The shared bathrooms are tidy (though you might have to queue during peak hours), and there are locker codes for peace of mind. It can get a bit lively at night, so it's perfect for young travelers who enjoy socializing. The location is super convenient, with the subway right downstairs. It’s a unique experience, embracing the good and the compromises of a hostel stay!

The facilities are a bit old, but the owner takes great care to maintain them. For this price, it's quite comfortable and has everything you need. The owner is also incredibly nice, and sunbathing on the third-floor balcony is wonderfully relaxing. The location is excellent! Although it's not inside the Old Town, it's just a five-minute walk to get there. It's also within walking distance of my favorite local eateries, and half of Dali Old Town doesn't allow cars anyway, which is a plus. Plus, it's very close to the Bus Route 4 stop, making it super convenient for getting to and from the train station. Perfect for budget travelers like me!

The rooms here are really comfortable, spacious, and quiet. The location is super convenient, just a short walk to the North Gate of Dukezong Ancient City, and there are plenty of food options and attractions nearby. I especially want to praise the front desk lady; she was incredibly nice and enthusiastic. If I come back, I'll definitely choose to stay here again. This hotel is truly excellent, so comfortable, so quiet, just fantastic! Loved it.

Excelent value for money. Conveniently close to Kunming station and not too far from many attractions. The common area is very nice and comfortable, and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The beds are good too, and they are cleaned regularly.

Excellent hostel at an unbeatable price! The common spaces are great, western toilet on the third floor, solid neighborhood close to the bus depot - I gave one knock for location because the hostel is not super close to ancient town or Baisha. the owner is awesome and work with you to find good deals on local attractions. Free filtered water, a drum, and a solid wash and clothesline. The place is great and has everything you need as backpacker. Highly recommended for all!

Sister Cai Cai was incredibly warm, attentive, and thoughtful. Although we didn't interact much, her meticulous attention to detail was evident. I was extremely satisfied with her recommendations for food, entertainment, and other experiences—a full five stars for that alone. The lobby had a great atmosphere, and it was clear many people had been staying for several days. There's a large courtyard where you can enjoy the view and relax. The bedding was clean and comfortable; the mattress was almost as thick as a hotel mattress, and the bed was sturdy. The bedside lights were shaded by wooden boards, eliminating the glare from direct sunlight (I've stayed in many hostels, and Cai Cai was the first to show such attention to detail). The surrounding environment was quiet, and I slept very well. There was crowing in the morning, intermittently from around 5 am to 6 am. I suggest more clear reminders about the room check-in rules. One guest was playing music on their phone, so a quiet environment should be maintained in the room, both day and night. By the way, my room was opposite the clothes drying area, and the room light was a bit dim, as shown in the picture. In short, I highly recommend this place!

First, let me start with a compliment! The service attitude was exceptionally good! Whether it was asking the customer service小姐姐 for two extra quilts because I'm sensitive to cold, or asking the kitchen姐姐 for a plate to wash some fruit, everyone was incredibly willing to help! No one showed any impatience whatsoever. Everyone was genuinely wonderful, like a big, happy family! Now for the downsides: The secondhand smoke issue is really serious! From the moment you walk in, there are smokers everywhere, and there are ashtrays outside the rooms on the second floor, with people smoking there every day. Of course, I had seen reviews mentioning this before checking in, so I was mentally prepared. Also, the water heater was still quite unstable, alternating between scalding hot and freezing cold. I was practically doing a tango in the shower! Overall, it's great value for money, and I even found a companion. I would still recommend staying at 'Dajiaoshi' if you're traveling alone!

I had a great time in Jianshui, the owner of the hostel did make my stay even more special, he helped me in many ways, I am beyond grateful he could help me out to get a SIM card and all the app struggles that you can face traveling to China from abroad . I highly recommend to stay with him for dinner or any meal, food was amazing and I felt like visiting friends rather than staying at a hostel. There’s a nice rooftop where you can also use the washing machine and dry your clothes. I will definitely come back!

This stay experience was absolutely amazing! Definitely a five-star review~ The hotel's location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk to the subway station, and surrounded by a complete commercial district, making it incredibly easy to get around and find food. The lobby is exquisitely decorated and grand, with a very pleasant fragrance. The front desk staff were enthusiastic and professional, checking me in super fast and patiently introducing the hotel facilities and local attractions. The room was surprisingly clean and tidy. The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and the mattress offered just the right support, ensuring a wonderfully sound sleep all night long. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, with plenty of hot water and stable temperature. The toiletries were high-quality with a subtle, pleasant scent. The window offered an expansive view, no noise disturbance, and great privacy. The breakfast selection was incredibly rich, with both Chinese and Western options. Fresh fruit, freshly prepared breakfast items, desserts, and drinks were all available, and the flavors were authentic and not perfunctory. The cleaning staff were meticulous in their daily cleaning, replenished items promptly, and even proactively asked if I needed anything – the attention to detail was truly thoughtful. Whether for a business trip or a vacation, this is an excellent choice. I've already recommended it to friends, and I'll definitely stay here again next time!

Although the room was compact, it was very clean and odor-free. I had a great time chatting about travel with my roommates at night. It was a really good value for money stay.”,”The hostel pays great attention to detail, offering free lockers and toiletries, and a communal kitchen where you can cook your own meals. It's generally quiet and not noisy, making for a very peaceful stay. Highly recommend for solo travelers.”]
