The Hump Hostel

I knew the style in Kunming hostels is that the shower and basin areas are shared between men and women when booking, but got cold feet when I saw it for myself. Thankfully the staff helped me get a full refund for the paid dorm room so I could make a new booking for a single room instead. The location is good for folks who like to walk 1 to 2 km easy walking paths to attractions and train stations. The cleaning team was very good and cleaned my room well everyday. The single room provided 1 hair dryer, 2 toothbrush, 1 comb, 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, 2 bottled water and 2 paper cups every day. 2 tea bags and 1 water boiler. There is also a room where you can take free hot water near the public washroom.  The attractions of walking distance is mostly to the north of the hostel, while the attractions in the south needs bus or train transport. Bring an umbrella and plastic slippers during summer for when you get caught in the lovely rain.  The hostel design theme is pub and bar, so expect alcohol and tobacco smell as you pass by the public space to reach your rooms. The pub/bar area is also where hostel visitors have their breakfast and mingle. There are plenty of nice roof top open air spaces and open air corridors as well. Overall a pleasant stay, but I would try another hostel if you dislike tobacco smell when having meals or when you want to mingle with other travellers. 

Second time here, this hostel is the best, unbeatable location, clean rooms and great atmosphere! Just look at the view from the outdoor seating

The environment is good, the service attitude of the staff is good, the bedding is clean, and there is also a terrace to see Jinma Big Chicken Square.
