"The hostel is within five minutes walk to Kunming Railway Station (although I had problems getting to the hostel from the subway. The exit advised by Trip is incorrect). It’s on the 28th floor of Building 1. The hostel is clean albeit a bit untidy (e.g. toothpaste tubes in the bathroom). The friendly host suggested for me to stay at Building 8 if I wanted quiet but I was fine with where I was. Disposable towels are provided at 1 yuan"

"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)"

"這家青旅自助入住的,很方便。老闆的提示很明確,衹要認字識圖都能看得懂入住流程! 出昆明北出口,走200米就到小區了,很方便。小區樓下很熱鬧,開各種小賣鋪,商品琳琅滿目,13元快餐隨便吃,各種甜點,炒飯,麪店都有… 就是網吧有點貴,大廳9元一小時…青年旅社要住4人間的星瀾房,乾淨,一室一衞。運氣好,可以一個人住一間,我運氣不錯,別的房間快滿了,我住的房就我一人,睡的很香甜。 先説好哈,客廳小,這家青旅男的星瀾房就很不錯,不過別的房間我就大體瞄了眼。八人間就算了,擁擠不説,碰到什麼人真不確定,多花十元住個舒適點。"

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.

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.

MM431666****Our last stop on this trip was Qiao An Yue Hotel, and since I was traveling with my parents, I booked a family room. The owner was incredibly nice and even upgraded us to two large beds for free. The main reason I chose this place was its excellent location – a bus stop and subway station right downstairs, making it super convenient to get anywhere. Plus, there are tons of food options nearby! Hot water was available all day, and the place was clean and tidy. The owner was also very kind and diligent, always quick to resolve any issues guests had. The best part is that for such a central location, the price was really affordable. I'll definitely choose Qiao An Yue Hotel again next time I'm in Kunming, and I wish the owner even more success!

MM223571****[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.

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.

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!
