"COME SLEEP AT A COURTYARD PARKING LOT!"
That should be your advert, Yunna Hostel.
From the pictures, I thought Yunna hostel would be really cool, possibly even a party hostel... However, the pictures were a lie, and it is now a corpse of a hotel / hostel, oddly situated above and around an open parking lot, with rooms around the upper two floors above the parking lot, and a small, dirty pool at the top floor. In fact, the parking lot in the center and the old stale rooms around the sides..... This is really a motel, isn't it?
The location is a bit hard to find, tucked in a little alcove parking lot down a merchant-shop-lined street. I found the location both difficult to find and oddly situated.
The rooms were old and musty, totally unlike the pictures on here, but had everything expected of a hotel room. They should be even cheaper, but it seems almost everything in this part of Yunnan is an expensive tourist trap. The bathroom was dirty and with missing ceiling tiles. The bed was hard. The window looked out onto a dirty alleyway. Outside the rooms, the hallways around the courtyard parking lot were always black dark, and I had to take out my phone and use the flashlight both to walk around the hotel at night and also to put my key in the door. Very odd, surreal, even trippy.... and which created a feeling of the whole place being abandoned.
The only good part of the stay was the helpfulness of the staff. She helped us get a discount and even let my friend and I swim in the pool after 11pm. She was very helpful and made the stay even worth the peanuts we paid for a private room.
I suggest the hotel management turns the lights on, improves the common area, and cleans the pool.... But honestly this hotel / hostel / motel is just all wrong. Not recommended unless you just need a place like a cheap motel to sleep.
