okay, we were confused! is the hump a hostel, a night club, a bar, a resturant, a hotel, an internet cafe, a roof top sporting area?? It has it all - but if you are looking for a quiet cosy place to stay, this is not it! It's very noisy and you can't bring your own food to the common areas.

The toilet is smelly and the 6 bed dorm is not all that clean...close

The hostel was a lot of fun. The only complaints I would have would the smoking in the common areas and the less-than-perfect bathrooms, which are quite small and inconvenient.

We booked in for two days and were very happy to leave after that...the staff speak average english but are very reluctant to use it. The noise at night caused by the night club down stairs is not even kept out by the ear plugs provided!!...and the beds are probibly the hardest i have slept on in China, equal only to the hard sleeper trains...not the cleanest either...in summery...DONT STAY HERE...close

One of the best hostels I ever stayed, I will come back to Kunming, and I sure will come back to this hostel. The atmosphere is great, it's near the bus and train station and you can just have lots of fun in the hostel itself without going out. What more do you need? Almost nothing, it's great.

great location and great social atmosphere as well. the loungeroom and rooftop terrace are awesome for hanging out on top of kunming watching it all. only downside is the noise from rooms, the street chatter is loud and sounds as though right next to you so if you are a light sleeper be prepared.

A very noisy place, the atmosphere was good if you like that sort of thing. The staff were trying their best but I think they are worked too hard...not so much personal touch.

Good rooms, though you have to have the 300 series, cause the 200 series are right above a discotheque, so one can't sleep at all.

great hostel, except for the noise. I don't know how anyone sleeps here. There were people running up and down the sleeping area during the night, yelling etc. Management need to manage that alot better, and maybe some heavy doors separating the common area from the sleeping area.

The Hump was a great hostel. The rooms were very basic but that's all that was necessary. It seemed kind of odd to have a pool table right in the middle of the most used walkway, but it facilitated a fun time. The outside patio is great, the view of Jinmabiji Square is very cool. Definitely would...
