Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The room is huge with nice view of the city, and quite cheap compared to others. Everything else is perfect.

    Location is an easy walk from Huashan West Rd train station. Head out exit D then DOWN the hill. The hostel road is on your right. Also easy walk to Green Park. The metro is a fantastic way to get to bus station and then Stone Forest. Restaurant was great! Big serves, variety and cheap cold beer. And the best mojito FYI.

    Staff is super kind and always available to help. Lovely location, less than 10 minutes walking from Cuihu Lake. The hostel is clean and well organised. Bar area is cool, and a good place to meet new people or play some pool.

    The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful (especially with my wechat issues and booking taxis) and also very flexible with my booking. Very clean and comfortable room, very quiet. Cheap laundry facilities. Hostel very close to big supermarket and street food.

    Clean facilities, great people, excellent atmosphere. People do speak English here. It's everything you'd expect from an international youth hostel. They also help you to arrange day trips. I went to Shilling and to Jiuxiang Caves, both excellent locations.

    We stayed at Kunming Upland international Youth Hostel for four nights and it was a very pleasant stay. The rooms were big enough and the bathroom was also nice. There is a nice pub/restaurant where you can have your meals that offers both local food and international food. It is very close to the town centre and to one of the most important and beautiful parks in Kunming. In general we really enjoyed our stay and would like to go back in case we go back to Kunming.
