We stayed at Wada hostel and opted for a double private with en-suite. The hostel is well located just a 10 minute walk or 3 stops on the number 10 bus from the train station. It is also just across the road from a large shopping centre, the botanical gardens and a cinema. The staff were very helpful and although... More

Wada hostel is located a little way out of the city, but the bus is only 1yuen and really easy to use. The staff were really helpful at telling us how to get around. We live in Guangxi where there's no western facilities at all so the opportunity to hang out in a bar and play a game of pool... More

Thank you so much for your review! We are however very sorry about our "Mona Lisa". We did not expect our staff to do such a good job with the painting. The next time return, we will make sure you get the room with the giving tree. =) More

Stayed in a private double ensuite room for 110 yuan with hostel membership card. If your budget is less than 150 yuan room per night, i would recommend this place. It is not the best hostel i've experienced mostly in europe so far, but yes, i admit that this one is much cheaper than those eu hostels. Pros. - Fun... More

Rooms are excellent when considering the price. Communal area is very good. Location is terrible. Even it is near to the station where you can take a train or shuttle bus to airport, or other cities, consider again if you stay more than a night(i.e., unless Skip here heading to Yangshuo). But the other options such as Lakeside Inn (ranked... More

The atmosphere of the hostel is very nice. The rooms (we stayed in a private) although sparse are clean and the beds are actually extremely comfortable. Our bathroom was a little broken down and was not clean at all. The staff was incredibly friendly and the cafe has some really good food.

Smiley, friendly and enthusiastic staff. Free wifi in communal areas but not in rooms. Free pool table. Good bar with cheap drinks. The Li River cruise they organised for us was so good (the large boat that goes to Yangshuo). The tour guide, Yang Yang was hilarious and engaging. The group was called Team Panda. Yang Yang made the trip.

We had a great stay, rooms are pleasant but the best thing is the staff hospitality and bar area. There is a good friendly and social vibe in this hostel. Great value for money overall. Its a little out of the centre but this was no problem for us as the tours can all be arranged to pick you up... More

We were very pleased with our stay at the Wada Hostel. The staff were helpful and friendly, the environment was beautifully decorated with a very laid back backpacker vibe and the rooms were cosy.
