Unfortunately, this was the worst hotel I stayed in during my 5-months trip across Asia. That being said, it was one of the cheapest options I could find last minute in Kunming, and at least it provided a roof over my head. The hotel is not centrally located, and there are very few food options nearby unless you're willing to walk 15 minutes towards Cuihu Park. However, the subway is just a 2-minute walk away and takes you directly to the city center. The bed was surprisingly comfortable — and that's where the positives end. The room itself was dated, extremely gloomy, and had no natural light due to the window facing a wall. The overall atmosphere was depressing. Cleanliness was superficial at best: stains on the walls, unwashed mirrors, visible mold, and an overall musty smell. The squat toilet emitted a strong, unpleasant odor that lingered even with the door closed, and there was a persistent smell of old cigarette smoke. The noise levels were also unbearable. The walls are paper-thin: we could hear every conversation, every door slam, and even the building rigjt next to the hotel talking loudly non-stop until 2 am every night. One night, we were woken up by the owner and his wife cleaning a room and chatting loudly at... 2 am! And talking loudly again as early as 6am. Peaceful night? Just forget it. Also the hallway light will flood into our room every time someone will go through the hallway because there is no proper curtains from the bayhroom. The room was also tiny, we could barely open our backpacks. In short, this hotel may be cheap, but it comes at the cost of comfort, rest, and basic hygiene. I would not stay here again.

Not bad at all. Its good for solo traveling and save money and location is in perfect place, near panjiawan subway station.
