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."

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.

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.

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!

The location is great, right next to the old town, with plenty of places to eat, drink, and have fun. It's lively, and there's a popular photo spot right downstairs. Transportation is also convenient, making it suitable for a temporary stay while traveling.

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.

Kunming Yunfu Youth Hostel

6.7/10
Posted on May 17, 2026
Guest User
It was the perfect place for me. In the middle of the city, close to so much, it was super convenient. The fact that it was cheap was great and all I needed was a bed and bathroom. It was a little hard to find, being on the 13th floor of the east building but nothing too bad. Very much would recommend, feels like a more local experience. Perfect for budget solo travellers especially.

Fangjian Hotel (Kunming Railway Station)

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.
