"Wonderful place to stay, I love the vibe and energy of the hostel itself. I did not stay enough to enjoy to lovely activities and community but I absolutely reccommend this place. I stayed in 8 women room and I appreciated the cleanliness of the bed, bedsheet, locker etc. That is very important as it is the only space just for you. Bathroom was ok, I did not know it is mixed but I did not have any problem - and it was also clean. I like the option of the restaurant and free tea at the reception. Location is also great! Kunming is lovely and artsy town🫶"

"First, let me start with a compliment! The service attitude was exceptionally good! Whether it was asking the customer service小姐姐 for two extra quilts because I'm sensitive to cold, or asking the kitchen姐姐 for a plate to wash some fruit, everyone was incredibly willing to help! No one showed any impatience whatsoever. Everyone was genuinely wonderful, like a big, happy family! Now for the downsides: The secondhand smoke issue is really serious! From the moment you walk in, there are smokers everywhere, and there are ashtrays outside the rooms on the second floor, with people smoking there every day. Of course, I had seen reviews mentioning this before checking in, so I was mentally prepared. Also, the water heater was still quite unstable, alternating between scalding hot and freezing cold. I was practically doing a tango in the shower! Overall, it's great value for money, and I even found a companion. I would still recommend staying at 'Dajiaoshi' if you're traveling alone!"

"Stayed here for a layover, and the hostess was lovely. If there was an empty bed, she'd send the password, and I could just check in. It had a super large balcony. I had an 8:30 PM bus and didn't leave until 7:30 AM the next day. I spent the whole day sunbathing on the balcony and had a great time chatting with my roommate. It was so relaxing, I almost didn't want to leave! It's very close to the station, just a few minutes' walk, super convenient! Wishing the hostess great success in her business 🤝 I'll definitely be back ✌✌"

This hotel is located next to Jinma Bijifang, near Nanqiang Market and Nanping Street. Shopping and tourism are very convenient, and it is 100 meters away from the MTR Koutangzixiang Station

"The roommates are very friendly and quiet even after a little while at night. There are also roommates who work and live in the room. If there are any questions, they are available at any time. They also help to replenish toilet paper and do simple cleaning. There are many people who watch birds in Kunming. There are also many people who take pictures of birds. They will not occupy the position and not let people see them. They are also very friendly. After a few days of communication, we appreciated the rare chestnut heron, small cuckoo and chestnut kite together (very lucky, I saw it twice when I went there)"

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.

TTaigezaishouThis hotel was the best place we stayed during our trip to Yunnan during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays. Our itinerary was from Guangdong to Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang. We stayed here for two nights when we arrived in Kunming. When we returned to Kunming from Lijiang, we booked this hotel again without hesitation. The owner upgraded our two 1.2-meter beds to two 1.5-meter double beds, and even gave us two delicious mooncakes (it happened to be Mid-Autumn Festival that day) and some blessings. We were very grateful! Since this was our first time traveling to Yunnan, we had limited time and didn't get to experience it all. Next time we come to Kunming, we will definitely choose this hotel again because it's very convenient for getting around and eating. The subway and bus stops are right next to the hotel. The room, blankets, pillows, and sheets are clean and odor-free, and we can park for free in the garden. Most importantly, the owners are very kind. The owner's wife told me that the owner used to be a teacher, which explains why he seemed like a cultured person, and also like a government official. It's really great and deserves recognition and recommendation. I wish the owners great success in their business and a happy life!

GGuest User[Room] The room should be newly renovated and parking is convenient next to it. We booked a twin room, which was not very big, but was enough for a hot spring bath. It was quite quiet outside the window. [Hot Spring] The hot spring water is very hot, the water quality is yellowish, and it is very comfortable to soak in. The only thing is that the pool in the twin room is a bit small, and can only accommodate one adult and one child at a time. If you need suggestions for a larger pool, look at other room types. 【Suggestion】Install a safety lock on the room door.

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.

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!
