we sayed at the hotel, not the hostel. The staff has very poor English. Breakfast is mostly chinese. one of our rooms had aproblem with the toilet and a man was sent from maintanance to fix it 3 times! they refused to change the room. We came back to the same room 2 weeks later for 1 night and the... More

Stayed here twice, about 5 days apart. Our first room seemed in need of a good vacuuming and the shower curtain was covered with mildew. However, during our second time there a few days later our room (just a few doors down from our previous room) was immaculate, including the shower curtain. So it seems to depend on the room... More

This is a typical Chinese low budget hotel. It had its good days long ago. Hotel lacks motivated staff, poor English. Restaurant is dirty with poor quality food and a lot of mosquito's. Rooms have very hard beds. For us the type once but never again. There must be better places in Kunming. More

The beds... More

The Camellia Hotel has two branches the normal hotel and a youth hostel, I stayed in the youth hostel half but reception is the same and the staff are shared so this review may be helpful for anyone looking at saying at the Camellia. The staff have a very low level of spoken English, even the reception staff which can... More

The newly redecorated rooms on floors 1 and 2 are very attractive. The staff is extremely helpful and most are English speaking. Ask for a quiet room in the back away from the restaurant and elevator. Our first room was on the second floor by the restaurant and elevator, the noise from the diners was very loud. The next day...
