Hostels in Yunnan, China

I recently spent two nights at this accommodation, and while there were not many foreigners around, I still found it to be a decent experience. Upon arrival, I received a coupon, which was a nice touch, but I found that the minimum spending requirement made it less useful for solo travelers like myself. I had requested a bottom bunk but ended up with a top one, and I found the bed to be quite hard. However, the provided curtains added a nice level of privacy. On the plus side, they offer lockers, towels, and slippers, which is convenient. The bathroom, however, could use a bit more attention as it needed cleaning, and I noticed that the shower had a leak. Overall, considering the price, I can't really complain too much. The staff at the front desk were friendly and spoke English, which made communication easy. Just a heads-up: there are two flights of stairs, and you'll need to walk through the restaurant/bar area to access the lift to the rooms. All in all, it’s a budget-friendly option that meets basic needs!

I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The environment was great, both from the staff and the guests. Really made me, the only foreigner, feel comfortable among them. Also very close to the best value noodles place I have yet found in SE Asia, and to the Ancient Town, and provided a good value bike rental (very solid bike). Riding it along the ancient train itinerary was her highlight of my Jianshui visit. Highly recommend 👌

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming hostel in the female dorm. While the dorm room didn’t have AC, it was comfortable and well-maintained. The shared bathroom was clean, featuring a typical wet room setup. The owners were incredibly nice and helpful, always ready to assist, and their excellent English made communication a breeze. It's great to know that the family lives on-site, adding a warm, homey feel to the place. One convenient feature is the washing machine available for a small fee, although I opted not to use it during my stay. Breakfast is offered, but remember to place your order the night before to ensure you get what you want! The location is quite handy, being close to the city center. Just a heads up, crossing the busy road can be a bit tricky, so take care. There are plenty of western food options nearby, which is a nice bonus if you're craving something familiar. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a friendly and welcoming place to stay.

The hostel was great, with a pleasant atmosphere and occasionally some foreign travelers. There were evenings with live music and chill areas, which made it really nice. Small downside: I had issues with them twice — once they offered me a coffee as an apology, but overall it was a good experience.

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.

I arrived at the youth hostel at around 9pm. I booked it immediately after seeing the room. The room was clean and comfortable, well ventilated, and both the room and the bathroom had windows. The bedding was also clean, and the room was quite large. There was a large platform on the top floor, which was very comfortable to sit and enjoy the breeze at night. I will stay at this youth hostel again next time I go to Jianshui. The boss was also very nice. I didn't eat after arriving, so he recommended Lao Er BBQ nearby. I couldn't find it on the map, but it was delicious!

The hostel is really good value and located not far from the square that has lots of locals dancing every evening. It’s quiet and if you like hiking, there’s a trail up the mountains just beside the entrance. The living room is very cozy and the boss and staff are very sociable, kind and has lots of good recommendations. There’s a homey atmosphere where you can hang out with the other guests and watch movies on a big projector. There’s also a traditional fireplace that is always burning when it’s the cold season (though can be smoky). But I loved hanging out there. There’s also outdoor seating areas to chill out. Laundry washing is available and cheap. The bed is nice and comfy and I’ve slept well there. Bathroom is clean. There’s also a western style toilet outside in the common area. Overall I highly recommend this place and would definitely be staying here again if I come back!

Very convienent location and good service. Part of the washing room is outside which should be considered when you travel there during the different seasons.

A great hostel. The boss is very friendly and works very hard to keep the place clean and help guests with any issues they might have. The atmosphere is great and welcoming, I met many other traveller's there, and some evenings there is a shared barbecue!

The place is fairly new so it was comfortable, but there wasn't really anywhere to put your luggage, the lockers didn't lock, and we weren't given key cards. The place was safe because the area is safe, but having amenities that worked would have been nice. It's a laid back place though. Even though there was plenty of space in the common areas, I didn't really feel there was a fun/inviting atmosphere, but maybe that's just because I'm not Chinese, who knows.
