Overall, this is a great hostel. Nice rooms, nice bathrooms, good value, good location. The only major problem is that the walls/windows/doors are really thin. Our room was over the bar. While it's nice having a bar in the hostel, having to hear people drunk outside your window until 3am...not so nice. We asked the staff if we could move... more

Bottom Line.. it has great atmosphere. Location is great, cafe and bar are good. Rooms have nice funiture and our room had a modern/remodeled bathroom.

This hostel has an excellent location. The staff were polite and helpful. We booked our air tickets to Shanghai through them. The map that the hostel will give you is pretty useful. It gives info on the places of interest and which buses to take to get there. Going on a slight tangent, a tip to people going to Xi'an:... more

My husband and I stayed in a double en suite for a couple of nights while visiting Xi'an - our room was comfortable (the TV is a nice touch) though we got stuck in one of the only rooms where the window opened into a closet so we didn't have any natural light in the room. The hostel staff were... more
