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.

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 UserLocation was great that it was a walk away from the Kunming Railway Station where I needed to be to leave the city. I liked how it was near a lot of food places! The volunteer Evens was an interesting person to talk to when I learned about his background in what he does as an occupation and where he is originally from in China. The owner Winni was a nice person as well and I appreciated and enjoy her and some of the other guests that cooked for us the night that we had a big dinner. Thank you for being part of the chef crew Winni. Everybody who stayed at the place was respectful and considered towards one another in the way that they conducted themselves. Was able to go along with the rules of this hostel because it fit my daily habits. Nobody had any habits that bothered me.
Not really into the hostel type of stays, due to lack of privacy. Was just happy to stay at this place since it was pretty much right at the doorstep of the Kunming Railway station where I can catch my train on time where I wouldn't end up getting lost in the city which in turn would end up missing it.
The only negative thing that I didn't like was that the bathroom did not have bath towels and just regular hand towels where I would not be able to dry myself very well after showering. Because of this I didn't want to take a shower at this place and the fact that these towels were used repeatedly from other guests, which made me feel uncomfortable wanting to use it. Would come back to this Hostel again if I happen to have to come back to Kunming again where I needed to be near this train station to catch at train there.

AAmyYang21Very near metro. Exit C, walk straight about 50 feet, saw a cafe, turn left
Walking distance to Green lake, Zhuanxin wholesale market, one stop to Nanping pedestrian and old Kunming city.
Quite old but clean.
No lift, walk up steps.
Toilet ceiling is quite low. If you are 1.7 m or more, you may hit the ceiling.
Overall ok.

EEva13I have nothing but praise for this hotel! Extremely friendly owners, they even upgraded our room for free! The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The best thing is the hot spring tub in the bathroom, so relaxing! The location is convenient too, walking distance from the lake in one direction and to the town centre with many restaurants in another. On our next trip to Yangzonghai we will definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything!

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.

LLiudiyeThe room type is good and the design is good. The key is that the hygiene is very good and it is disinfected every day. The service at the front desk is also very good and the guests are friendly. I like the service in the guest room very much. The hygiene is really good and there is nothing to complain about. The only bad thing is that there is no elevator and you need to climb the stairs. Everything else is very good.

GGuest UserA very, very good stay experience. The boss is a very kind person. He patiently answered all the big and small questions one by one. It is very, very good! In terms of the environment, it is very, very, very clean. There are volunteers cleaning every day. The boss said that the volunteers are very good in all aspects. Clean carefully. The bathroom is also very clean, white and bright with no peculiar smell! The roommates I met are all very friendly and quality people! When I traveled to Kunming this time, I felt a lot of goodwill and enthusiasm, and I ate a lot of delicious food. I want to cry when I think about leaving here and going back to a food desert. It’s so comfortable that I don’t even want to leave here! Thank you very much to the boss for giving me a particularly good experience of staying in a hostel! I’ll come back next time!

GGuest UserThe eldest sister is very kind, the bed is very stable, the lower bunk is also very wide, and it is safe to live in. The location is also very good, downstairs is Kunming Old Street. It is also close to Cuihu Lake and Yuantong Mountain. It is a family-style hotel. The room I stayed in was separated by a curtain, and the corridor was a little narrow. It was not convenient to dry clothes. There is no key to the door, so you have to knock on the door and wait for someone to open it. Although there are people inside, it is still a bit difficult for people with social anxiety.

CCê OtuskiFor what it offers, it's pretty cheap. Excellent location, right next door to the railway station, plus double room (shared bathroom) for the same price as the bunk beds in that same region. The bathrooms aren't exactly clean, and they were knocking on my door 3 minutes past check out time, but it was good in general
