We had a great time in Guilin by staying in this hostel. Like the previous post said, the wifi was not working, but later it did work (they sent someone to fix it). We stayed in a budget double room and it was very nice. Quite a big room and the bathroom was very clean. We also saw the bigger... More

First, we arranged for an airport pickup via email, but rang just to confirm. We were assured all was good. No one turned up at the airport, we waited 30 minutes before making our own way. Which turned out for the best as it was easy and ALOT cheaper than the hostels price. We arrived at 11:45pm. No one there... More

Stayed here back in September 2012 with my spouse. Fantastic little hostel. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Hostel looks over an elementary school which is cool. The staff are very helpful and the neighbourhood is pretty and quiet. Wifi in lobby. Great common areas to meet people. Pool table on main floor and a rooftop patio make this place very... More

Cookie(receptionist) was very rude. we had to wait three hours for our room and when we got there it still wasn't ready. Three of the four toilets we knew about were blocked. The room was dirty. The lock on our dorm was broken. We had paid for a 6 bed female dorm, we were put in a 10 bed mixed... More

ear Steph B, Thank you very much for your feedback. To cope with the crush of mass tourism during the May Day holiday, we hired some fresh hands, Cookie is one of them. It’s our negligence not to give our new employees enough pre-service training. We sincerely apologize for all of the inconvenient has been caused to you, hope that... More

We found the quality of hostel accommodation in China to be really high and this place was no exception. Friendly staff, clean, a cool communal area with pool table and movie / DVD area (we watched Apocalypto, Inception and Toy Story 2 during our few nights stay. You can graffiti a message onto the walls to record your stay. We... More

Just had a stay here in one of the deluxe rooms. Room was large and clean and tastefully decorated. Shower was hot and decent pressure. I loved that our bed had an electric matress so it was nice and warm when we got in bed! Tv had one English channel so this was a plus. Staff helpfulness was intermittent, it... More

The reception worker, Betty, is one of the most knowledgeable hostel workers I've ever met. She really knows her city! She gave impartial information about tours available. Plus, I found cheap noodles just around the corner thanks to her... a 3.5 yuan breakfast!

Really loved getting to stay in his "hostel" in Guilin. Has everything a hostel needs, cheap rooms, food (drinks), information, interesting people. Stayed in a room (I hear they do have dorm beds available), and got an amazing room that did not feel budget. It was a little more expensive than I expected (maybe rmb150?), but that was during the... More
