Dongli Xiaozhu Youth Hostel Reviews

I stayed for 3 nights, upon arrival huge thanks to Evens (a member of staff) who came to pick me up, took me to the accommodation, kindly helped me on how things work there and last but not least ordered dinner for me. Good budget accommodation, clean, nice views, super close to Kunming railway station. The only bathroom can get quite busy so best to use before or after the "rush hours'

I stayed for two nights here in a four bed women dormitory. It is simple and you have all the services that you need : a kitchen, a washing machine, little food shops at the building's entrance and it's not far from the railway station. Also, hosts are wonderful !! They prepared a meal in the evening. We visited town together : they brought me to Kunming lake, street snacks, food market in the morning and a nice park. All that for free !! I highly recommend this homestay. Simple, not expensive and warm up. 😊🙌

The location is nearby the subway station. The room is clean and quite. The price is resonable.

Great hostel! I felt like I got the royal treatment when I was there simply because I'm a rare foreign guest. Well, I'll take the privilege 😅. So in my particular case, from the moment I arrived they rolled out the red carpet. I made friends with the receptionist and we went to have dinner together right away lol. This never happened to me before haha. It was very nice. Then I was included in all kinds of social activities during my 4 day stay. We had lunch together with the owner, a very jovial guy, the receptionist and some random guests. It was very pleasant. We also went out for free clubbing and to the night market. Absolutely non commercial activities where we simply hung out as friends. Very cool! Definitely enriched my experience in Kunming by a lot. The facilities themselves were good. Everything was clean. It's a little bit cramped up in the apartment that's been made into dorms but it's ok because everyone is very considerate. There's only one bathroom so sometimes that can be annoying. It's a very high quality bathroom tho. I would definitely stay again for the atmosphere and the convenience of the location.

Location 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.

We had a nice stay in this hostel. The staff, and especially Evens, if very welcoming and helpful. We would recommend for sur this hostel to any traveller that travel on a budget and/or who want to meet nice travelers and Chinese people! We had a little difficulty in finding the exact location of the place. It would be easier to find the place if the location on Baidumaps was exact, and/or if there were a sign at the entrance of the building, explaining that the hostel in inside. Have a nice stay there!

I stayed for a quick stopover in between trains - the hostel is very close to the train station and I could walk easily. The room was simple but had everything I needed and I slept really well. The highlight is the owner Winni who has been incredibly helpful and friendly. She allowed me to store luggage and helped me to pick it up again early in the morning. Very very good service :)

Hmm this is a avarage hostel and good for budget traveler I living here 2 night and this one is near city centre

Good location, nice atmosphere, a little crowded. Overall a very good place, if you don't intend to spend too much time in the hostel itself.

Very good! Very kind people! Also very good mood! I slept very comfortably. I came from another country, but they welcomed me very kindly and responded kindly even if I asked you this and that.

It's nice staff like it

Very good, the environment is fresh and elegant, the host is warm and hospitable.

The landlady is very welcoming and the room is very quiet. I recommend everyone to come.

The accommodation environment is very good. I look forward to my next visit. The lady at the front desk is also very nice. Super nice.
