The Hump Hostel

Superb!
I was really satisfied with everything in this hostel -- maybe they are sometimes a little slow, but that helps you to slow down.

The very fine hostel in Kunming
The hump was worth staying -- a lot of fun and it makes your holiday very relaxing without having to deal with the business side of things. the staff there were very genuine, the noise side is true but personally i'd rather deal with that than other things. quite a generous hostel i would say. plus they really know how to make cocktails plus you can drink it with a rooftop view over the city.

Great place with no complications
The Hump was an excellent place to stay. The staff were very friendly and there English was great. The prices were reasonable and they allow you to bring anything into the hostel, such as food and beer. They are willing to help you with anything you need and most important they never screw you around. Definitely recommend.

If you're in Kunming, this is the place to stay.
Locationwise, It's in a great area on a beautiful strip, with everything you might need right nearby (any quality of food and shopping areas). Plus being a central area, you don't have to go far to get transportation to anywhere you want to go. And it is a quiet area, even at night, if you're concerned about sleep. Don't go wanderin' around after dark though! As to the place itself, it's got mediocre rooms and a mediocre shower room and mediocre food -- but in China, this is saying a lot for a hostel, and it is definitely quite "upscale" compared to the rest of Yunnan. Add on top of that that it's really not hard to meet new people there, because the bar/sitting area is pretty popular, and you even get the chance to meet up with Chinese students who visit the place (either at parties or just on a sunday afternoon). The emphasis in this place is sort of like a tiny club-med -- you get lots of activities and possibilities in a single place, and this they do very well. Overall, a fun place to be! Watch the foozball table -- that stuff is addictive!

This could be a five-star hostel. The roof terrace is fantastic and it's in a great location. The rooms are nice and the rates are very reasonable. But what really lets this place down (and I feel bad saying this because they're not bad people) is the staff. They're so dopey and disorganised, and sometimes rude, with no concept of customer service. A word of advice -- don't use the travel booking service here unless you want them to make a complete mess of your travel plans. It's far better you go to the train station or airline office and do it yourself. There is also a nightclub within the same building which appears to have no soundproofing. The hostel provides earplugs in the rooms, but they're not enough if you really need to sleep.

It's a nice hostel, but there is one problem: if there is a party you can't find sleep in the rooms. But as there are nearly no parties anymore it's better for people with sensible sleep. The parties were great, so it's a pity that there aren't any anymore. Given that it's in a pub and bar area, the noise is ok. The terrace is great! Nothing to say against this. It's a wonderful place to hang out, night or day. At the moment they should work on their service and their toilets. Then they might be the most popular hostel in Kunming.
