Yunnan University Hotel (2-star)

Yunnan University Hotel is strategically located in one of the better areas of Kunming for travelers.  Located in the Yunnan University Foreign Language Center right next to Yunnan University, the hotel is right down the road from many of the better restaurants, cafes, and bars in Kunming as well as a 5 minute walk to Green Lake Park.  The hotel is not the nicest place to stay in Kunming but the rooms it offers are perhaps the best deal you can find.  A room with 2 beds, private bathroom with bathtub, and tv goes for 100 RMB per night.  You will not be able to find a better deal for a room like that in an area of town that you would actually want to stay in.  Next door is another Yunnan University Hotel that has recently been renovated and offers nicer, more expensive rooms.
