3.8 Mediocre
Pros: Good location Nice terasse and common room Free tea and coffee
Cons: Room and mostly bed really dirty (hair & insects inside the bed) Only one window to the corridor After we asked the owner to change the sheets or to move to another room, the owner told us to search for other hotel if we are not happy. Not helping at all. The price/quality ratio is not worth at all.

Cons: I reached Kunming at around 11pm and had to go to airport at 4.30am. reached the hotel at 11.30pm, only stayed 5 hours, was hoping to get some rest, I did but not as good as I wanted. Right after I checked in, one guy came to check in and was shouting at the receptionist lady, claiming it was so hard to find the hostel. She actually handled it very professionally, I can't blame the hostel for noise caused, however I could hear the noise from my room because the walls are so thin, you can also hear what is going on the street
