The 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!

I 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.

- The most surprising thing about this trip was staying in this youth hostel! The location is great, close to various attractions, and it is very convenient to travel. As soon as you enter the door, the clean and tidy environment makes you feel twice as good, the beds are comfortable, and the public areas are warm. The boss is warm and hospitable. Not only did he help plan the route, but he also met many like-minded friends. Here, not only did I have a comfortable place to stay, but I also gained a super unforgettable travel memory. I will stay here again next time I come here!

Tutu Chain Inn(Kunming Dianchi Minzu Village)

A 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.

Ideal for families with children. The environment is beautiful and quiet, with dazzling lights at night. It's surrounded by folk villages, and it's convenient to feed seagulls at Haigeng Dam. I'll definitely come back next time. The little girl downstairs is very helpful and kind!

Chunyu Qiyuan International Youth Hostel

8.9/10
Posted on Mar 24, 2026

This place is not about cleanliness, having good water pressure or that the wifi works perfectly in every corner of the huge building. It's even located slightly off-center although there is a nice and huge Sunday market around the corner. This place is all about embracing the homey vibe and the kindness of the people and its boss. The boss has too many hobbies and so is the place cluttered with all kinds of things. It has a nice aesthetic and some lazy and messy home vibes. A good place to meet some nice and interesting people. The boss gave a free concert every evening and he didn't care if anyone was listening. Has a free water filter on the third floor and maybe it's even possible to do laundry for free. Just don't get stuck here.

Heap 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.

I 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.

The 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

Fangjian Hotel (Kunming Railway Station)

BRPriscila R Freitas
Location is good you can see the railway station from the window. The room itself is clean and meets our needs, but the walls it shares with the other rooms are plaster, which allows you to hear every noise. The worst part, however, is the bathroom and sinks. The bathroom smells awful, it seems like it's never cleaned, and the individual stalls don't have doors. Towels are also not provided.
