Kunming A Little Problem Youth Hostel

Perfect for solo traveler. Met many nice people here. The boss also friendly! Happy to be stay here in Kunming.

Love this hostel! Bit confusing to find the building, but the location wise is strategic! The owner of the hostel is warm, kind, helpful and can speak English a bit, he can understand me. The room is so cozy too. The shower is a bit weird because it is the same as the squat toilet but if you're Asian then it's okay.

Recommended to go! The people were all really nice and social. The housekeeper also helps you to plan your plans in Kunming.

The location is very good, close to the main attractions and there are a lot of restaurants and convenience stores around. The receptionist is very nice and it seems he puts a lot of effort to keep the place tidy. The room was clean, with a great view, it was very cold there is a little heater (no AC) that you can use but doesn't do much, you are given a pair slide each (no towel given). There are 2 bathrooms for the whole place, 1 man and 1 woman. The squatting toilet, sink and shower are all in the bathroom, there is no toilet paper in the bathroom so you have to buy your own. The bathroom unfortunately is quite dirty, I have seen blood,poop and pee all over the toilet, also it gets blocked quite easily, I myself had to unblocked a couple of times before I could use it. There is very little sound insulation so you can hear people talking and singing in the reception sometimes even until 1am or going to the toilet, so make sure to take earplugs with you. There is no kitchen or fridge but there are 2 washing machines that you can use for 2 RMB. Free water in the reception, sometimes is not available but gets refilled regularly.

This is the best hostel I have stayed in China by far, all thanks to the amazing host who is truly passionate about helping travelers as he is a traveler himself! Everyday he was eager to help with my plans, help other foreigners with food, phone issues, anything that came up. This is also the first place that had a real hostel vibe where it's easy to connect with other travelers (Chinese and foreign) in the common space. I would recommend everyone to stay here in Kunming!

Definitely one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in!! Everything was really clean, the views are beautiful, and it’s right in the center of Kunming so close to loads of transport options. The owner also goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, he even lent me his phone when I needed help on my first day?? The social area is really nice too, and you’ll often find the owner and other guests spending time there. So I really recommend this hostel for solo travellers hoping to meet new people! I’ll definitely be back if I stay in Kunming again!!
