Lete Youth Hostel in Xining, China

After a few days I warmed to this place and it's hardworking staff. The location is spectac - and you can't beat eating some dinner watching the sunset on the 16th floor. The building is a maze, but they offer most amenities. Downside - they are a bit disorganized and had to turn people away who had made reservations online. Call and confirm. Finding it from the 11 Middle School (shi yi zhong xue) bus stop was tricky. Never got a hot shower in 3 days. Rooms are tiny. Still, probably top 1 adrian, from USA ~ 26th Jul 2009
