Kunming Hostels

"Must give it a 5-star rating! I had an amazing stay this time. Everyone at the hostel was super nice. When I ran into some trouble getting around, the staff actively helped me sort it out—I was really touched. The rooms are clean and tidy, the common areas are cozy, and the location is very convenient. It's such a stroke of luck to find such a thoughtful hostel while traveling. I'll definitely stay here again next time, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kunming!"

"One of the best hostels I stayed at in China. Kunming is an amazing city and a gateway to the rest of Yunnan"

"The staff here is quite nice, they give you a disposable towel (a nightmare for the environment but it's a kind gesture, though), there is free drinking water at the reception and there was a washing machine that was free to use. The building is super interesting and has a very cool cylinder-shaped courtyard where people love taking photos. The building is full of artsy places and cafés. The reception is on another floor and quite far away from the dorm, though. That also means that most people will stay in the dorm, eating, being on phones etc. The problem here is that the hostel failed to put up signs that food isn't allowed in the rooms so you can't point those guests towards it. What is normal in almost every other country isn't normal in this one. Whenever I have a roommate who feels like he needs to burp every 30 seconds, fart and clear his throat at the same time, I want to book a ticket out of this country immediately. At this hostel I was also unlucky in that regard. I'm mentioning this because certain types of hostels attract certain types of people. These Chinese-style squat toilets they have here mean that you will stand in someone else's piss every time you enter the bathroom. And that toilet is right underneath you when you take a shower."

"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."

"The lady (staff member) was exceptionally nice, and I met so many great girls here that I really connected with, which was so much fun! It's very comfortable, just like a home-away-from-home hostel."

"Amazing hostel with nearby amenities and scenic spots. Comfortable bed and such a clean bathroom. And the view in our room was amazing! Definitely will be back again."

"The hostel is at 9 minutes from kunming Central Station, metro 1 and numerous bus stops. Is on the 28th floor of a tall building not easy to find, but the host girl came in my aid to pick me up! She is gentle and kind and ready to help. The apt. is very clean and spacefull with a big window/small terrace, where one can relax enjoying the view and the light breeze of Kunming. Bed is ok with light and plague. Toilet is large and practical, with running hot water and shampoo and shower gel. Drinking water, hot and cold provided. It was a pleasant staying."

"I enjoyed staying in this hostel. It's clean and also very convenient to go everywhere. The only thing I found weird, but still manageable, is I have to put the bed sheet by myself."

"I like this hostel, really convenient, close to subway station, I spend good time there and I made friends and they support me with doubts, is the only hostel that I found with a gym."

"One of my favourite hostels of all time, and completely unexpected too. This is a REAL traveller hostel operated by attentive, kind and cultured staff who have great taste in music! It's only a 5 minute walk from Kunming main station and is situated in a quiet area with all necessities nearby. Would recommend 100%"
