We've spent a few days in this hostel during our visit to Hangzhou. The location is terrific - 15 minutes to walk to the legendary XiHu lake and 5-7 minutes to reach the night market.

The rooms are moderately cozy, though the hostel is under heavy construction, catching a better view day-by-day (and we've seen it personally).

The staff has a plenty of information regarding the touristic places in the city and surroundings. And, most important, they are _exceptionally_ friendly and encouraging every single interest to know more about China.

The last but not least, the air-con was working, but it was nearly enough, so above it all (and that was critical for us) we were provided with an even better solution.

We definitely recommend this hostel for every single soul that will ever make his/her tourist route going through Hangzhou. more
