Hotel near Railway Station Area,Kunming
"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 UserI stayed for two nights here in a four bed women dormitory. It is simple and you have all the services that you need : a kitchen, a washing machine, little food shops at the building's entrance and it's not far from the railway station.
Also, hosts are wonderful !! They prepared a meal in the evening. We visited town together : they brought me to Kunming lake, street snacks, food market in the morning and a nice park. All that for free !! I highly recommend this homestay. Simple, not expensive and warm up. 😊🙌

GGuest UserNot really a youth hostel but someone's high rise flat filled with beds on 7th floor. Excellent location near to railway station but difficult to find on the map and you need to ring the owner who doesn't speak English. I've added the photo of the entrance doorway and amended map but you still need to ring the owner to get access. Cramped, only one bathroom for a lot of people, but kitchen with kettle and living area, good budget accommodation for a night, I wouldn't stay here longer.

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.

Rroel kevinHeap price nearby the train station. The big problem was to fin it. There are so many buildings, being kunming a pass where foreigners arrive without a sim card an internet it's impossible to locate it without internet or chinese apps. I struggled to find ir ir took me like 40 mins but fortunately I made it thanks to a French guy that helped me. They should clarify this after booking. They should send a pictures to guide the clients.

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.

PPangyudagegagagaThe room was quite spacious, fitting four people comfortably. Everyone was quiet and respectful. The staff members were all very accommodating. It's super convenient for shopping and getting around, with a mall right nearby. I booked it for an afternoon nap before catching my train, and the front desk staff was lovely – they even let me check in early! Loved it, loved it.

WWangfu～suianI chose this hotel for a layover at Kunming Airport. It's not far from the airport and offers a shuttle service, making it incredible value for money for a Kunming Airport transfer.
Free airport shuttle service: Just contact the hotel anytime for a pick-up or drop-off, very convenient.

CCê OtuskiThe lady who owns this place is lovely!!!
As I was arriving at KMG airport at 2 in the morning, she woke up when a kind fellow Chinese called her on my behalf, and she came downstairs to pick me up and helped me with my heavy luggage. She's so kind and the room is so cute, that I decided I'd extend my stay here for almost a week!!! Feels like home. Some of the kids who live here longer are amazing and very helpful as well!!! I really enjoyed my stay

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.
