its very clean and well looked after, and a great place to meet people, the restaurants not great, and pretty awful value. tiny kitchen (microwave, no stove, almost no utensils). nice (but cold!) common area by the restaurant and out front, with views directly out on to the river. large driveway (where we played hackysack most afternoons), and a living...

I liked this hostel. The building is new and spacious. The room we were given was huge and very clean, I found the bed very comfortable (but I like hard beds). All in all it felt like a 3 star hotel, it didn't feel like a youth hostel. It was easy to get to it with the underground system, just... More

Location is a bit far from the center but easily reachable by Metro or even a ferry!! Superb view to see the river with nice and cozy room, clean and well-maintained. Bed may be a bit too hard for Americans, but just good for me. Highly recommended for those who need a place of good quality of service with more... More

Theft is a serious problem. I got my camera stolen in a room and needed to call a police. The manager inititally suggested that you don't need to call a police at all. When I asked the staff to call 110 (a free number) because I don't have a mobile phone in China, they asked for money or they wouldn't... More

We stayed two nights in Riverside in a private double room with balcony overlooking the river. For the price, the location and view is unbeatable. The double room is also very spacious and includes AC, a TV and jug. The hostel location is reasonably central, close to a metro station but quite far from the East train station where the... More

I am an English teacher in China, and I stayed at this hostel while visiting Guangzhou during Spring Festival. Leaving the freezing cold air of Shanghai and after taking a 20 hour train ride, the never ending hot water during my shower made me very happy. We had a triple room and it was very comfortable and clean. We loved... More

We stayed just one night and did not make a booking. It would be wise to make a booking in this place - we were lucky and they still had a room free. It has a hostel feel, but it is also clean, staff are friendly, and the location is good- near the river and ferry to Shamian island. For... More
