Facilities are high quality at this long-established hostel, but the location isn't close to much and the staff don't quite have it together. It attracts a steady flow of Western and Chinese travellers, even though communal spaces are tiny. It’s located on a hard-to-spot alley off Xichang Lu.
To get here from the train or long-distance bus station, take city bus 64 and get off at Yunnan Ribaoshe Station (云南日报社站, Yúnnán Rìbàoshè Zhàn).
