After a number of days travelling through Vietnam, arriving at Nanning City Hostel at 11:30pm, we were delighted that the host (who doesn't live on site) was there and able to check us in. With lots of DVDs, a lovely kitchen, balcony looking over the city and friendly staff - it was a pleasure to stay here, and in fact... More

Did not stay here. This review is based on a visit with a Chinese friend. He was told that Chinese couldn't stay in the place; he was made very uncomfortable. This kind of reverse discrimination is totally unacceptle.

There are pluses and minus for everything. I stayed on Jan 22 for 2 nights. +: people and staffs are very friendly and helpful in calling bus/train stations. Rooms are clean and quiet. Great view from the 11th floor. Free water, laundry. Cooking facilities. -: not enough heat in the room nor in the living room. Fuse tripped most of... More

We stayed at nanning City Hostel fro 2 nights in early December 2011. After having a difficult time to find the place, and asking about 4 people, we eventually found it. The signs, or sall I say sign, is a single A4 piece of paper on the outside of the entrance to the building. It is actually an appartment on... More

Right, first of all the hostel its self was great, the facillities were all that they are cracked up to be, the xbox/ps2/kitchen, what wasn't was the staff. Most of the staff to put it lightly where as usless as a chocolate tea pot! Not really ever there and no way to contact them when they weren't there. Just this... More

After traveling for 2 months in China and seen lot of hostels, Nanning City Hostel is de best ever. There is free laundry, free drinkwater, a large kitchen free to use and a nice cozy sitting area that make you feel at home! The movies, XBOX and computers make it complete. Everything was very relaxing and they are very helpfull.

Arriving in the middle of the night, it wasn't the easiest of places to find - as the owner states on the website - make sure you print off the map! Our stay was short, but sweet; we arrived late went to Dietan Waterfall the next day and then left early the next morning. However the short time we spent... More

Nanning City Hostel was a haven of relaxation for us as we waited for our train to move onto Vietnam. It really feels like home. In the common area, my husband played their guitar and video games while I used their computer station. The next day we raided their awesome movie collection and lounged on their comfy couches. The owner... More

I stayed at the hostel for about five weeks while looking for a job teaching in Nanning. It immediately felt like the hostels I'm used to in Australia - a book swap, comfy couches, a general use food shelf, second-hand clothes box, kitchen facilites and communal fridge, tv with loads of DVDs, free wifi and communal computer and really vibrant...
