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 UserI 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. 😊🙌

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!

AAnonymous UserThe double-bubble pool is almost nowhere near the toilet, which is a bit uncomfortable. In fact, it doesn't matter if this toilet is not used, and the toilet next to it can be used. The advantage is that the water is unlimited and the water flow is also very strong. It is still okay to come here just to soak in the hot spring. If you have requirements for the environment, you should consider it carefully.

GGuest UserThis hostel is really great and the boss is good. I highly recommend everyone especially foreigners to make contact with the boss prior to arriving so you don’t get lost like me🤣🤣. I called the boss via trip.com app, and he replied to me straight away. He is very good at responding and quickly helped me. The hostel is thoroughly cleaned and has a kitchen. The location is great. The boss also recommended me some places I can visit in Kunming.

LLiudiyeThe room type is good and the design is good. The key is that the hygiene is very good and it is disinfected every day. 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.

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.
