I decided to stay in this hostel for two months during the business trip and it was the best decision I ever made as someone who never had an experience in the hostel. I met so many cool people and made a lot of friends here. I couldn’t really say how much I love this place. It felt like home to me. I definitely come back to stay here again for sure, thank you so much for the memories

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!

Totally satisfying stay, good ambience, good vibe more than compansated for the aging decorations. People make the place, staff is above all the best thing about this place, equalling 5 star hotels.
Located close to the green lake, as well old street, ideally placed to explore the many gems of the city.
Response from Property: Dear customer, thank you for your recognition and support of Kunming Qingcheng. Kunming is a city where you don't want to leave once you come; Qingcheng is the hostel where you want to come back after staying. When the weather is fine, you can sit with two or two friends at the Blackwood Cliff Coffee on the terrace on the third floor of our hotel and talk freely. Take a nap, relax, listen to the wind, and enjoy the city view. At the same time, we provide Chinese and western simple meals, and the mushroom Fried Rice in the restaurant. Since the online sale, you have received constant praise. We look forward to your staying again! ^^
I just love this place. It even has its own waterfall. The staff is extremely nice, delicious food. Is only 4 min walking to the lake. It's beautiful. Totally recommended

Stayed here in the twin bed room for 2 nights.
Pros:
1.friendly receptionists( they were 2 young girls when we were there)
2. Room size is just nice for 2 person, bathroom is spacious enough to be able to move and turn around freely
3. Location is pretty good as it is about 5-8 mins walk from the metro station.
4. Convenient stores, bakeries and eateries are nearby
Cons:
1. You may have to carry your luggage up 2 flights of stairs and through the hostel’s cafe/bar, to take the lift to your room.
2. I was hoping to be able to find time to chill in the hostel cafe/bar, but as there were people smoking indoor , it put me off

8-bed male dorm is cramped. No outside food or self-prep allowed (despite ostentatious traveler/tourist pretense). Restaurant is pricey.
Interior garden quite beautiful though.
Response from Property: Thank you for choosing to stay at Kunming Allure Hotel and for providing valuable comments on our services. We sincerely apologize for not providing you with a satisfactory stay experience. We attach great importance to your feedback and would like to explain the relevant situation here: Regarding the multi-person room stay experience, the eight-person room in the hostel is equipped with functional facilities such as a leisure table, balcony, luggage rack and electronic cabinet lock to meet the needs of guests as much as possible. If you want a quieter and more private space, we recommend upgrading to a sextuple room, which has fewer people and provides greater comfort. Regarding in-room dining regulations, in order to ensure the living experience of all guests, food with strong odors is not allowed in multi-person rooms. There is a dedicated dining area in the hostel garden, which provides a comfortable environment for you to enjoy takeaway or take-away food without disturbing others. We are always committed to optimizing our service details, and your feedback is the driving force for our progress. We look forward to providing you with a more satisfactory stay experience next time and wish you a pleasant journey!

Wonderful hostel that is close to the action. Rooms and bathrooms are clean for the size of the place. It’s very lively but not crazy party atmosphere which is nice. The courtyard is quite nice. And the staff were very helpful. I really like that the lock for the lockers are tied to your room key. Would definitely stay again if I return to Kunming. Such a cool city.

Although we stayed here for 2 nights, we liked the atmosphere. The food was nice and our room was fine. The staff was friendly and helpful, but they didn’t speak English.

Easy to find, convenient to the metro. I had a single room, which was comfortable. The staff was helpful, check in with passport is easy. There’s a nice cafe area to spend some time in. I’d stay here again.
Response from Property: Dear friends, thank you for your love and recognition of Qingcheng. Qingcheng was specially selected in the Cuihu business district in the city center. The location is quiet in the city, and eating, staying, traveling and traveling are convenient and fast. In addition to the delicious Dai-style rice noodles at the entrance of Qingcheng, there are also authentic fat daughter-in-law's eighteen-flavor baked potatoes. I forgot to introduce that Qingcheng has prepared Qingcheng's surrounding tour recommendations for you, which can take you to the local culture and experience the local life. Take everyone to travel through Kunming, which is full of market life, and experience the rich culture of the Spring City. Of course, there are authentic Yunnan coffee and Chinese and Western simple meals, imported beer, Internet celebrity drinks, special snacks, etc. in Qingcheng. In Qingcheng, you can experience the afternoon tea of Heimuya Coffee during the day, and it transforms into a light bar at night. You can have a small gathering with friends here. Looking forward to your return often~
