A friendly dog named sunny with friendly front desk. Look for xiao zhang whom he could not be more helpful. I... More

The hostel itself was charming and mostly clean. The room was a bit cold because they need electric heaters in the winter rather than the air-conditioning machine, which is not warm enough. The worst part about our stay was the service. When we arrived at the hostel and asked for recommendations about places to eat, the staff told us that... More

Hangzhou is a beautiful place, the West Lake Youth Hostel is an average place. Stayed for 3 nights in a twin room on the ground floor. The hostel is small, lacks atmosphere, is located in a residential street across from the lake and along side a pre-school. The common area is small and space is poorly allocated, there is barely...
