we really liked the hostel very much, and would have liked to stay longer. We had rooms with a balcony overlooking the river, and found sitting out there very relaxing on the eve of 1st may with the half of china being outside near the river. The place is very clean, their staff speak good english, which is not a... More

This a a wonderful place to stay. It's a great location near the bus station, it's located next to a river so many rooms have a great view, and their price is great. You can choose a room that's next to the river with a little bit higher price or a normal room for a lower price, so the room... More

We spend 3 nights in this hostel. We had the family room, located on de street side. Therefore, it wasn't the most quit place in the evening. The room was very clean and nice decorated. The beds were very hard though (even for Chinese standards). Bathroom was ok, too bad the shower wets the whole bathroomfloor (but you see that... More

The location is very good, but what I really liked about this hostel is its cleanliness and thoughtful "extras" such as the clean towels everyday and the beds made up every morning. How nice to come back to a clean, made-up, great-sized, bright and light room every night after a long days sight-seeing! We had a triple room, and a... More

This place isn't a hostel, its more like a b&b with hostel prices. My room was big and clean, and since the buildings are tucked down a quiet side street there isn't much noise from outside. The only problem is that the bathroom is a wetroom and very small so everything gets wet when you use it. Airport pickups/transfers were... More

Stayed 3 nites here before and after our Yangshuo trip, good location and walking distance to the main shopping street. The hostel is located in a small lane, overlooking the 'tao hua' river, simple n clean room but the TV channels are limited. They changed us to a better room as we found our room toilet had some worms running... More

This is a budget level hotel but at stunningly low rates (about $25 per night). Beds are firm and facilities spartan but adequate. Shower area includes the toilet. No wash cloths (common in China). A good western breakfast is made to order for a modest 25 RMB. A 10 minute walk to the lake-pogoda area. 5 minutes to the bus... More
