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.

The (dorm) bed was warm and comfortable, the location good for local attractions and the bus line, but the small breakfast was served on a very large plate and the staff was minimally helpful. I plan to try another place, next time in Guilin.

the four young ladies who worked behind the counter warned me in front of other guests that the hostel won't be responsible if my seven year old son got hurt while playing with the dog and cat that hang around the lobby.They said there is a nail sticking out of the sofa.So rather than fix the nail, they prefer to...

This hostel has a great central location and a cosy little downstairs area with a bar and a good breakfast was offered. Our room was a little tired, but satisfactory and there were some leak issues in the corridor due to heavy rain. Staff were lovely and very helpful with booking trains etc. We did the tour with them to... More

This has been one of my first hostel experiences and turned out pretty well. The location of the hostel was perfect, right off the lee river and very close to many shops and places to eat. The staff was fantastic. Very helpful in planning our days in Guilin and always very pleasant.

This hostel was good, After traveling around all summer, it wasn't the best and definitely not the worst. My 3 person party stayed in a triple room ( this was more of a Chinese style room, thin mattresses on a flat board surface, all about 4 inches apart, elevated 3 feet off the ground) that said, it was pretty comfortable....

Located at 3 Renmin Lu in a pedestrian area, 200 yuan a night for two in a room with twin beds, this hostel is as convenient as possible. The staff were helpful and the clientele very nice. The Sheraton is across the street, on the river.
