RRuguowoshiliuyifeijiuhaoleSince I was traveling solo, I booked a hostel, and this was hands down the best one I've stayed in. My experience, from start to finish, was top-notch. I'll cover the pros first, then the cons, which aren't deal-breakers.
**Facilities:** The common areas are well-equipped. Apart from the washbasins, everything else is separated by gender, and there are even ladies-only shower rooms. Outside, there's a terrace where you can enjoy coffee in the daytime, tea and sun in the afternoon, and in the evening, it turns into a chill spot where you can listen to people chat and take in the night view (Jinmafang is right downstairs). There were also some handsome foreign guys! Indoors, there's a pool table, and some evenings, guests even dance, creating a great atmosphere. I had a wonderful chat with a curly-haired lady! There's also a co-working space and books to read. My stay was too short this time, but I'd love to come back and experience the slow life here sometime.
**Cleanliness:** The cleaning auntie kept everything spotless. When I had an issue, she came to help me right away. Her Yunnan dialect was a bit hard to understand, but I could tell she was very enthusiastic. She'd come to clean the rooms around 11 AM daily, and the common areas were also impeccably clean.
**Service:** One of the staff members was particularly warm and friendly.
**Cons:** The pillow was too high and uncomfortable for sleeping. The door is very heavy, and many new guests don't realize they need to pull it shut gently, causing it to slam loudly, which can be disruptive at night. Also, some people forget to close the main door at night, allowing the sound from the 98 bar to drift in. I suggest putting up a sign reminding guests to close the door quietly after a certain hour at night.
