Hostels in Yunnan, China

No joke, this is an amazing hostel! The location is super convenient, right by the subway exit – just a 3-5 minute downhill walk. Step out of the hostel, cross the road, and go down some stairs, and you're right at Cuihu Park. If you walk in the opposite direction, it's about a ten-minute stroll to Zhengyi Road. They have both Western and squat toilets in the restrooms, and there are plenty of showers. The customer service was also fantastic!

The hygiene was perfectly fine. Perhaps the hostel has gotten too big, or maybe everyone just had their own plans. It could also be that I just happened to be matched with introverted people, but I didn't really find anyone to connect with here. It felt like the vibe was more for NPCs (non-player characters). However, everyone was very well-mannered. There were also many foreigners. **Facilities:** Very complete and new. There's a washing machine and dryer. Washing clothes costs 10 RMB, and drying for half an hour is also 10 RMB. **Hygiene:** Excellent, absolutely no worries here. **Environment:** Good. **Service:** Good.

This hostel is amazing ! Everything is perfectly clean, at the reception they speak perfect English and can give you indications on what to do and directions. The hostel is really nice, you have a rooftop where you can enjoy some time outside. There is a place to do laundry and they provide laundry detergent for free, you even have a place to hang your clothes to let them dry. There is a small restaurant where you can have yunnan specialities as well as some european dish (pasta, burger). I had a really good stay and will definitely comeback next time I am in Kunming.

Met a lot of friends at Backpackers Ten Years in Lijiang. Next time I'm hiking, I'll definitely choose this place again. The only downsides were the very poor phone signal and non-existent Wi-Fi in the room, even though I was in a four-person dorm on the first floor (they must've upgraded me, haha!). Also, the gap between the mattress and the wall was quite dirty. But overall, the hostel atmosphere was fantastic – easily the best I've experienced. See you in a few months!

Overall, my experience was fantastic! The hostel's exterior is quite minimalistic, but the restaurant inside features traditional ******* decor, offering a great way to experience and appreciate ******* culture. The host, a lovely and engaging young woman, is incredibly warm and approachable – whether you're an introvert or an extrovert, you'll have no trouble connecting with her. What's more, this place attracts people not only from all over China but also from different countries around the world, creating a truly wonderful atmosphere! If I ever return to Shangri-La, I'll definitely choose to stay here again! A truly great experience!

I had to switch to this hostel because of issues with my original B&B, and honestly, it completely changed my negative impression of Dali. This place is perfect for taking it easy. There are two adorable cats and a friendly, lively dog. In the basement courtyard, you can relax and listen to the rustling leaves. Inside, there's a common room where you can play billiards, board games, or just lounge on the super soft and comfy sofa cushions by yourself. The first-floor terrace connects directly to the ground level, and in the mornings, the sunlight streams into the lobby through its floor-to-ceiling windows. It made me truly feel like this is what life should be. The third floor has an open balcony with two lounge chairs, great for looking down at the ground below or lying back and watching the sky. On the fourth floor, there's laundry, and you can also enjoy the night view. The dorm rooms have en-suite showers and toilets, which is very convenient. Each bunk has a privacy curtain, providing enough shade for sleeping. If I had to pick a downside, it would be that the hostel is located a bit high up, so carrying luggage can be tiring. However, the hostel offers a shuttle service on the hour, which helps mitigate this issue.

Excellent! The owner is really warm and knowledgeable. The place is very clean, and the common areas are spacious. Plus, there's a fantastic rooftop where you can read and enjoy the breeze. The location is super convenient too, right next to Kunming Railway Station – just a 3-minute walk. The subway station is 5 minutes away, and a bus stop is only 2 minutes. There's even a direct bus to Changshui Airport nearby. All in all, everything was great. I'll definitely choose this hostel again, whether for a longer stay or just a layover. As someone who's been backpacking around the world for 13 years, I highly recommend it!

This is a really great hostel, the most luxurious environment I've ever stayed in! The ground floor is perfect for dining, chatting, and playing billiards, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The place is clean and tidy, and the beds are super comfortable. The buffet breakfast for 8.8 is delicious, and the evening cocktails are also excellent. I highly recommend staying here when you visit Shangri-La. I initially booked for one night to try it out, but it was so good that I extended my stay. The service is fantastic too; the staff are all very warm and patient and even help with luggage. Highly, highly recommended, I'll definitely be staying here again next time!

Located right next to the core area of Xishuangbanna, the surrounding commercial environment is lively with plenty of large supermarkets and shopping streets. The bedding was relatively comfortable and clean, but many of the bathroom facilities were broken. Also, the cleanliness of the hostel's common areas could be significantly improved. Hopefully, it will get better and better!

Had a great stay here. The hostel is located in a high rise building with a cosy common area where it’s easy to relax, watch movies, and mingle with other travellers. The toilet was clean and even comes with an automated seat cover, which was a nice touch. There was an unexpected water supply maintenance during my stay, but the owner handled it very well, he kept updating us and even brought some of us to his friend house in another building to shower. Really appreciated the effort. As a backpacker, I also found the owner very helpful—he guided me on taking a shared electric bike to the metro and then the train to the airport, which saved cost compared to taking a taxi. He even invited us out for drinks with other international travellers, making the whole experience more memorable. I personally prefer smaller hostels like this as it’s easier to mingle and feel comfortable.
