"This youth hostel is very convenient for self-check-in. The boss's prompt is very clear, you can understand the check-in process if you want to recognize the text and map!
Exit Kunming North, walk 200 meters to the community, very convenient. The downstairs of the community is very lively, open a variety of small shops, a wide range of goods, 13 yuan fast food to eat, a variety of desserts, fried rice, noodle shops have...
The Internet cafe is a bit expensive, the hall is 9 yuan an hour... The youth hostel wants to live in a 4-person Xinglan room, clean, one bedroom and one bathroom. Good luck, I can live in one room alone, I am lucky, other rooms are almost full, I live in the room alone, sleep very sweet.
Let me say it first, the living room is small, this youth hostel man's Xinglan room is very good, but I have a general eye for other rooms. Even if the eight-person room is crowded, it is not sure what people are meeting. It costs ten yuan to live in a comfortable place."

RROSMARIAThe owner is nice and helpful. He can speak basic english and walk us to the park.
The room for two is very small but the duvet comfort enough to warm up body from winter coldness.
One of the toilet has bidet which is such a relief. I like the toilet which has automatic plastic cover that can be changed for new user by pressing one button.
I think the dining table too messy.

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.

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.

AAnonymous UserIt was okay. It's right by a subway exit and close to Kunming First Affiliated Hospital, making it very convenient for getting around. You can also catch a bus to the park. The room hygiene was fine. There's a courtyard downstairs with some plants, so there were quite a few mosquitoes.

EEva13I have nothing but praise for this hotel! Extremely friendly owners, they even upgraded our room for free! The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The best thing is the hot spring tub in the bathroom, so relaxing! The location is convenient too, walking distance from the lake in one direction and to the town centre with many restaurants in another. On our next trip to Yangzonghai we will definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything!

GGuest UserA very, very good stay experience. The boss is a very kind person. He patiently answered all the big and small questions one by one. It is very, very good! 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!

GGuest UserThe eldest sister is very kind, the bed is very stable, the lower bunk is also very wide, and it is safe to live in. The location is also very good, downstairs is Kunming Old Street. It is also close to Cuihu Lake and Yuantong Mountain. It is a family-style hotel. The room I stayed in was separated by a curtain, and the corridor was a little narrow. It was not convenient to dry clothes. There is no key to the door, so you have to knock on the door and wait for someone to open it. Although there are people inside, it is still a bit difficult for people with social anxiety.

AAnonymous UserWe stayed here only around three hours while waiting for 7am train. I would say if you are a budgeted travelers and don’t mind the bathroom only covered with curtains and no doors toilet, then this is the perfect place for you. Very near Kunming Train Station, like four to five minutes walk from motel. Check in was easy.
