  • I stayed here for one night. I just needed a place to stay before my train the next day. They are located very close to one of the train stations, so it was extremely convenient. The people were nice too. I'd recommend it for a short stay. The beds weren't super comfortable, but not too bad.

  • Located pretty conveniently, easy to find; the place felt really small, with small rooms crammed with beds and a lot of humidity in the air (in the night I couldn't even sleep because of swarms of mosquitoes attacking me), the bed was too short for me (182 cm), as well as cover and everything. Linen didn't look too clean, though I may be mistaken. The internet was only on the second floor (at the bar), and there was only one PC to use. The staff was pretty friendly and gave a lot of advices.

  • Great hostel, the staff is great, the lobby is a really cozy place to sit down, consisting mostly of a piece of glass laid over a pond, you can eat housemade lunch and dinner for 20RMB with the staff if you want, internet is not fast as lightning but perfectly ok unless you want to stream hourlong movies and there're three cats who occasionally come and demand to be cuddled xD However, the bathroom facilities could be more roomy and westerners should know that there're no western toilets.

  • Love the neigborhood filled with exotic atmosphere and historical western-styled villas set in Chinese context. It is very convenient with F&B, galleries and museum, shops and MTR in walking distant but you can still enjoy quietness at night. One thing worth to notice is their very tiny bathroom (toilet at the same time) but if you don't mind, there is nothing to complain about the hostel especially they have a cozy public area with fishes in pond, plants and natural light plus two cute kitties.
