Yunnan University Guest House is in the quiet neighborhood around famous Yunnan University. Although a bit removed from the commercial center of the city, the guest house is still popular with young foreign travelers and backpackers. The budget rooms starts at RMB50 for a single bed and are open to foreigners. For RMB70, you might be able to get double occupancy standard room with decent living room (essentially a suite of sorts). The guest house is just a stone's throw from the famous Yunnan University bar area which is centered on Wenhua Xiang and Wenling Jie. In a matter of minutes, you can reach Journey To The East , the Red Star Bar, and Face to Face . All of which are great places to meet some interesting people and to get important travel information. Besides that, the guest house itself offers a full range of travel services including ticketing, travel advice and more. Famous as a guest house for foreign students in Kunming, the staff in the guesthouse speak excellent English and are really friendly and helpful. The Yunnan University Guesthouse itself is a Chinese style building with a wonderful landscaped garden that makes a stay here ever more of a pleasure. If you are looking for something more expensive in the same geographical area, the Yunnan University Hotel is right opposite the guesthouse. With the same atmosphere and environment, the hotel is also a good choice, but it simply has a higher price for not much else in return.
