Backpacker's Appointment Hostel (Kunming Railway Station)

Hotel near Railway Station Area,Kunming

"Advantages: The location is very convenient, the community is very close to the train station, it is very convenient to eat downstairs, the bed is more comfortable, there are small lights on the bed, there are cabinets, and the mattress is very comfortable, not particularly hard, the facilities are relatively complete, there are washing machines, hangers There are also many, and the kitchen can also cook Disadvantages: You need to cover your own quilt cover and lay the sheets (if you live in the upper bunk, you are really tired of covering your quilt cover), not suitable for guests who stay late, tired for a day, making your own bed is very tired and will affect others. The room space is crowded, I feel that the bed is full of space, there is no cabinet, and there are long-term rental users, so there is no place to put luggage at all. After staying for two days, the suitcase can be put on the balcony of the living room. Because there is no storage, so the things of long-term rental users are also placed outside, which looks particularly messy."

Anzhi · Tinglan Women's Boutique Guesthouse Hostel (Kunming Old Street)

Hotel near Downtown Commercial Area,Kunming

The Anzhi · Tinglan Women's Boutique Guesthouse Hostel (Kunming Old Street) is one of the newest hotels in Kunming, having been renovated in 2024. The hotel is conveniently located just 5km from Kunming Railway Station and 26km from Kunming Changshui International Airport. Transportation around the city is also convenient, with Dongfeng Square Metro Station within walking distance. There's plenty to do nearby, with Qianwang Street, Yunnan Tea Culture Museum and Majia Courtyard all within a short distance. In their spare time, guests can explore the hotel's surroundings. According to our guests, this hotel provides a very high level of service. This hotel is a popular accommodation for guests traveling alone.

"The first time the Youth Hostel held the mentality of trying it out, far exceeding expectations, the whole woman was clean and tidy, and the girls were of high quality. The boss is very organized, and the precautions for various small posts are maintained. Just around the old street, go out and go shopping. I gave me a big bonus for the first time in Kunming, and I temporarily continued with the boss for two nights. The boss was very careful. Already recommended to relatives and friends. Looking forward to seeing you again ～"

Excellent

GGuest User- The most surprising thing about this trip was staying in this youth hostel! The location is great, close to various attractions, and it is very convenient to travel. As soon as you enter the door, the clean and tidy environment makes you feel twice as good, the beds are comfortable, and the public areas are warm. The boss is warm and hospitable. Not only did he help plan the route, but he also met many like-minded friends. Here, not only did I have a comfortable place to stay, but I also gained a super unforgettable travel memory. I will stay here again next time I come here!

AAmy HannahI stayed in a private room here and it was great. The room was quiet, clean & comfy. Special mention goes to the AMAZING view out the window as the hostel is on the 23rd floor! And the private room has a terrace/balcony thing. The communal area was very spacious and lots of desk space and sofas and stuff. Washing facilities too but I didn't use them! There is a refillable drinking water station - hot and cold water. Great location - 10 minute walk to the very bustling street food market! About a ten minute walk to the nearest metro station. My only gripe was the bathrooms - or lack thereof. There were only 2 bathrooms which were shower/toilet combos, which for a pretty well attended hostel means a fair bit of waiting around to use them. You have to be tactical about when you go! And because they were communal they weren't super clean, but I guess that is to be expected - just something to be aware of if you're squeamish. There's plenty of slippers to be had (in fact, outdoor shoes aren't allowed in the hostel at all!)

GGuest UserNot really a youth hostel but someone's high rise flat filled with beds on 7th floor. Excellent location near to railway station but difficult to find on the map and you need to ring the owner who doesn't speak English. I've added the photo of the entrance doorway and amended map but you still need to ring the owner to get access. Cramped, only one bathroom for a lot of people, but kitchen with kettle and living area, good budget accommodation for a night, I wouldn't stay here longer.

Very Good

GGuest UserI stayed for two nights here in a four bed women dormitory. It is simple and you have all the services that you need : a kitchen, a washing machine, little food shops at the building's entrance and it's not far from the railway station. Also, hosts are wonderful !! They prepared a meal in the evening. We visited town together : they brought me to Kunming lake, street snacks, food market in the morning and a nice park. All that for free !! I highly recommend this homestay. Simple, not expensive and warm up. 😊🙌

GGuest UserThis hostel is really great and the boss is good. I highly recommend everyone especially foreigners to make contact with the boss prior to arriving so you don’t get lost like me🤣🤣. I called the boss via trip.com app, and he replied to me straight away. He is very good at responding and quickly helped me. The hostel is thoroughly cleaned and has a kitchen. The location is great. The boss also recommended me some places I can visit in Kunming.

MMingyuA hotel with a very folk-style environment, it is relatively clean in a village, and behind it is the folk customs. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from the village to Dianchi Lake. The whole feeling is surrounded by strong ethnic culture. It is a good travel experience. It is also close to eating, and there are more famous ethnic restaurants nearby.

GGuest UserThe owner is incredibly warm and welcoming. Even though the shuttle wasn't on time, the owner personally drove to the airport to pick us up. The cleanliness was excellent. When it was raining heavily, the owner even cooked noodles for the guests. A truly kind and thoughtful owner, highly recommended!

PPriscila R FreitasLocation is good you can see the railway station from the window. The room itself is clean and meets our needs, but the walls it shares with the other rooms are plaster, which allows you to hear every noise. The worst part, however, is the bathroom and sinks. The bathroom smells awful, it seems like it's never cleaned, and the individual stalls don't have doors. Towels are also not provided.

GGuest UserA very, very good stay experience. The boss is a very kind person. He patiently answered all the big and small questions one by one. It is very, very good! In terms of the environment, it is very, very, very clean. There are volunteers cleaning every day. The boss said that the volunteers are very good in all aspects. Clean carefully. The bathroom is also very clean, white and bright with no peculiar smell! The roommates I met are all very friendly and quality people! When I traveled to Kunming this time, I felt a lot of goodwill and enthusiasm, and I ate a lot of delicious food. I want to cry when I think about leaving here and going back to a food desert. It’s so comfortable that I don’t even want to leave here! Thank you very much to the boss for giving me a particularly good experience of staying in a hostel! I’ll come back next time!
