Hostellit kohteessa Yunnan, Kiina

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🫶

I liked the hostel that i extended my stay. Even though its away from the old town. There's a bus stop on the main street and I would take a didi back when it's past 18:30. Some of the staff speak english so that was really helpful, the room was clean, they even upgraded me to a 2-room dorm which helped me relax from the trip. The WC area is spacious, it's great to have the water spray next to the toilet and heated seats are a plus. I found the laundry area with shoe cleaning machines very useful. They also have a restaurant/bar on-site in the lounge area and I really liked the food there, had three meals and it was delicious. Would definitely stay here again.

We only stayed 2 nights with 1 full day there. Location great. We had an easy 15min Didi from Kunming train station. Our full day there we walked to Green Park from the hostel (about 25mins) going via Wenlin Street, and then on to Old Street. Staff very friendly and helpful, helped us book a restaurant on our first night. Good level of English spoken so could have a proper conversation without resorting to translation apps. We didn't make full use of the hostel facilities but all looked good. Our room was as pictured and as expected. Breakfast was a choice of Western (toast, fried egg, fruit) or local (Pork Noodles). They were both OK, though the noodles were better. The hostel is laid out in a courtyard type style with the barand billiards at the bottom so noose does tend to travel to the rooms. It was still rather noisy one evening at 11:30pm (quiet hours supposed to begin at 11pm) with groups chatting loudly, but I did WeChat the staff at reception who did respond very quickly to ask people to keep noise down. This was good service but if you are looking for the quietest night sleep this may not be the best choice for you. Cleanliness was good, but the bin in our bathroom was not emptied as you are asked to put toilet tissue in there I think it is important to be emptied daily. We were supplied with disposable slippers in our room, but even though they are in a plastic bag, one pair was wet when opened. They could also do with a bath mat for outside the shower especially because some water escapes past the curtain when showering. Overall it was a great stay, good location value and staff.

Perfect modern hostel, with traditional style! It offers all a backpacker would need: superclean and cozy bed. No heating but a delightful warming pad, in a silent large dorm with window light. Plagues and light bed. Big towel provided and all kind of soaps in the clean spacefull showers. Running hot water. Loundry. Many common spaces, where you can enjoy the sun light reading or playing pool and a marvellous ******* style room, where you can keep warm relaxing around the stove, while eating or tasting tea. Hot and cold water provided. The staff is gentle and helpful and I do thank them for the pleasant staying.

Stayed at this hostel twice! This time I needed to mail a key card I forgot to return to my previous hostel. The hosts at Elegant were super nice and mailed the key card for me that day for just 12 yuan. The place is clean and will only be improved over time. Great wifi and hot showers. Bathrooms can be a little stinky and while the location is great for the train station, it's a bit far from some of Kunming's main attractions.

NOTE: This hostel is 20 minute taxi ride away from the Old Town and the bus terminal to Yulong and 40+ minutes away from the train station. As such, you can save time and money paying a few dollars more to stay in the Old Town (a taxi is around 20 yuan each way to the hostel). The positive of the hostel is that, like other Desti hostels, there are large community spaces to chill and socialize whether Chinese or a foreigner friend. So if that is your goal, then this is a great option. Unfortunately, I found this to be the least maintained and clean Desti of the three I have been to. The curtains on my bed were covered in gross stains. And guests in the room were loud after quiet hours. They also placed us near the shower, some guests hung their underwear so it smelled. Not the hostel’s fault, but perhaps this is who it attracts? Fortunately, the staff did apologize and offer a solution once they understood the issues.

It was nice, new, and clean. As far as I could tell, the staff couldn't really speak English, but they were nice and helpful. The other guests were also very friendly, so somebody would always help you out if you needed it. It's in a good location for the big ancient town area. The only drawback is how far away this area is from Dali train station. But for everything else it's a pretty good location.

Huoneen tilat ja palvelu olivat yksi parhaista matkallani Kiinassa. Isot ikkunat, kylpyhuone ja uskomaton suihku teki minut nauttia huolellisesti huoneestani. Yksi asia, joka vaivaa minua, on savukkeen savu, joka menee huoneen läpi ikkunoista alueen ulkopuolella hostellin. Tupakointi on hyvin yleistä Kiinassa, mutta kokemukseni olisi ollut vielä parempi, jos en herättäisi tupakoinnin hajua. Aamiainen on kunnossa, ja jätin illallisen yhdyskuntaan, koska kasvisvaihtoehdot olivat rajalliset. Edellä mainitusta huolimatta jään seuraavan kerran Liliwanxiangiin, jos olen taas Dalissa.

This hostel is slightly raw, feels like hostels i stayed in years ago. Regardless, if you're well prepared with toiletries and amenities, this shouldn't be an issue given it's a hostel after all. The highlight is that it is very social hostel and very easy to make friends and make good memories! I enjoyed my 4 nights there!

The place is located in the city center and few minutes from the Xinshuangbanna Railway Station i pay ¥30 thru taxi from raiIway to Hostel. I stayed in Dormitory Room and i booked it via Trip.Com. Actually this is my first time to travel in China and i don't have any idea so luckily this hostel is recommended by Trip.com In checking in ,since the owner can't speak english so there is a little bit problem but one of the guest translated what I'm talking and finally i get into the room. (+)I got my spot in lower deck bed which i always prefer if im in dormitory. Curtain in the bed is a plus. It is comfortable and each bed has personal light, fan and plug. (-) No toiletries and towel- according to one of traveller from China , mostly in China Hostel they didn't provide, must have your own unless staying in Pricy Hotel. (+) kitchen which can cook your own food , with the mate i shared in the expense and they cooked different tasty food (+) Price of room is affordable , if im nit mistaken it is cheaper in China app like ¥28+ per night. (+) near in night market food street shopping stalls clinics and bus stations and even in main road Overall 4/5 !
