Stayed here 2 nights while waiting to board a train to Kunming. The positives: The location is excellent, with lots of restaurants, shops and the pedestrian streets nearby. The local wet market is also very close. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful The common area is quite nice. We spent almost a day and a half there while... More

Loved our stay here for 3 days. First hostel we've ever stayed in and we went straight for the 7 bed mixed dorm. Very clean and felt very safe with big lockers in the room and a luggage storage room. Met some amazing people in the dorm and in the homely lobby. Staff are fantastic. Good fun and extremely helpful,... More

We stayed a couple of nights here and enjoyed it. We had a room with two beds and they were surprisingly large. The common area downstairs is a good place to mingle and have some breakfast and they have the usual assortment of tours to book. We actually booked our Longsheng rice terraces tour through here and it turned out... More

Not the best hostel ever but a pretty good one. Rooms are clean and with air con. Service is OK. People are nice. You can have a continental breakfast at the hostel. It's quite cheap (something like 20¥) and it tastes reasonnably good considering that it's China...

It has been so long since we stayed in this hostel but from what I remember it ticked all the boxes. We only stayed for 1 or was it 2 nights before moving on. There was a nice communal vibe in the lounge area i seem to remember and the staff were lovely. Location was very good.

Great hostel, great location right in the city centre. Close to all amenities. Helpful staff. Nice lounge/lobby with great music. Tasty food. Clean room with AC. Would stay there again! Some people mentioned no wi fi in their rooms. Mine was on the second floor and I had no real problems with it.

Arrived at the hotel in a thunderstorm via flight from Xi'an late so checked in without really sussing the place out. The room was okay, clean but a little damp feeling - maybe it was the recent weather. The staff were okay - some more helpful than others. Mainly they just wanted to sell us trips. However the hostel is... More

Stayed in a double room. Reasonably clean. A bathmat would be a welcomed luxury in this and other hostel double-rooms. The staff were generally helpful, some much more engaged than others. We didn't find the breakfasts too small, but they weren't cheap either - but this is western food. Overall, a thumbs up.
