Hostels in Hunan, China

The mattress was really soft, the blackout curtains worked great, and the bed was huge (bigger than a dorm bed, haha). The common areas were thoughtful and convenient, with every toiletry you could think of, and even some you didn't! They play movies in the lobby at night, which creates a really nice atmosphere. Plus, there's a convenience store next door where you can grab breakfast.

Traveling solo, I felt like staying in a hostel was a great deal! The rooms here were clean, and it's super close to so many attractions. I could walk to Pozi Street in about five or six minutes to check it out, or head to the Mixue Changsha flagship store for some goodies. The weather in Changsha was lovely; it rained on my first day, but the next two days weren't humid at all. The food was also affordable. The beef tripe noodles at the old Changsha noodle shop downstairs were so delicious – I had them two days in a row, they were amazing! Since it was crowded during the May Day holiday, I just ordered takeout, haha. The price was super student-friendly too! 😘😘 For anyone visiting during public holidays, I recommend hitting up popular spots and night markets before 10 AM or in the early morning. It's much cooler then, and there are fewer people. Even though there are still plenty of people in Changsha in the early morning, it's not nearly as crowded. I had a fantastic time! 😚

The cleanliness of the room and the hotel overall could definitely be improved. The washing machines require you to top up a mini-program to use them, with different time slots and charges. The dryer, however, is free. If it's raining, the humidity is really high, so clothes won't dry on their own, making the dryer essential. There's also a drying area on the rooftop, but I actually felt that if it rained, drying clothes inside the room might be more effective.

Very nice little place. Owners are friendly and helpful. There is a common area and good wifi, many floors (8+) and many different rooms. Free laundry on the balcony and drinking water, microwave and hot water available, with a food steamer as well. The location is easy to find, close to the river and the main area for the night show. Although the humidity is insane in this little town, this hostel tries to fight it with these machines that dehumidify the air. So in the dorms you will see a bit of mould, but I think all in all that can't be avoided in a humid town like this. Overal it is a nice little stay, the only improvement would be for the cleaning to be immaculate. Recommend 100% if you are a low budget backpacker!

The hotel is quite close to Wulingyuan Bus Station, about a 5-minute walk. There are breakfast shops and convenience stores right outside, so the location is pretty convenient. The room has two bathrooms and provides disposable toothbrushes and bath towels. There's also a free washing machine on the sixth floor. The room was a bit damp, and the doors were a bit noisy when opening and closing, but the curtains were excellent at blocking out light.

Unlike some of the other places I've stayed at, what you see on the pictures is current. It's a family run business. The owner was super friendly and accommodating. I had a slight cough, and she immediately made me some warm tea to soothe my throat. Her hospitality was beyond my expectations. A drink was spilled on my jacket, and when I got back after dinner she helped me wash and dry it manually. Her breakfast was also amazing. For a budget hostel, this ranks near the top

Location is hard to find because it’s not the right address but as you approach the road go up the first stairs you see then signs will appear. The room was big, the bed was good and comfortable, but the bathroom was terrible. Old and dirty. The room itself was good and seemed clean enough. Host was really nice. Good for one night or two to save money but wouldn’t stay longer. Location is great!

First, the conclusion—this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in, so I stayed for almost half a month! 【Overall Environment】Very new and clean. The owner has some design background, and the overall feel is minimalist and aesthetically pleasing. 【Facilities】One room even has two separate bathrooms and showers, which is incredibly luxurious and definitely deserves extra points! 【Cleanliness】Very clean. As you can see in the pictures, the lobby and rooms are bright and spotless, with no unpleasant odors. 【Bed and Air Conditioning】The mattress is very soft, not cheap bedding, and feels great against the skin. You don't even need to put on a sheet cover, which is very convenient! The air conditioning is also very powerful, yet it's surprisingly quiet, not disturbing your rest—better than many five-star hotels! 【Entertainment Facilities】The pool table is relatively new. I played a couple of games there every day—so comfortable! Also, there's even a free Switch on the second floor—can you believe it?! 【Food】The owner was incredibly welcoming, recommending many restaurants on the first day and even picking us up and dropping us off. None of them were bad! Especially the **Shell Boxed Meals—yyds! I ate there for a week! [Fun] The owner is quite playful; he brought a drone to play with us. A few of us went to a small canyon with Danxia landforms. This place was even more interesting than Xiaodongjiang, which I visited later, because it was undeveloped and more pristine! [Other] The owner also sang karaoke with us and introduced me to a song called ”Post-Rock” (or ”Slow Rock,” I can't quite remember). The song was fun, but it didn't do justice to the owner's personal charm. His goal this year seems to be skydiving or paragliding; I wish him success! [Summary] Danxia red cliffs reflected in the setting sun, Chenzhou is like a dream, no need to return! Mugen Youth Hostel, definitely worth a stay!

I saw this hostel reviewed on Xiaohongshu and booked two nights based on the great photos on their profile. The location is excellent, nestled in an alley right opposite Yuelu Mountain. It's a lovely, quiet spot. The bed was big and very soft, and the dorms are separated by gender. The bathroom and toilet are combined, and the shower pressure is fantastic. They have a cute poodle, and I also saw a black cat in the lobby and a Siamese cat on the rooftop where I was drying my clothes. Overall, I was really happy, so I extended my stay by another night! Just two minor points: the lighting in the glass room on the first floor is quite harsh, making it impossible to see my face when putting on makeup. Also, the Wi-Fi in my third-floor room was incredibly slow; I had to go downstairs to work on my tablet. Hope they can improve that!

Facilities: Kitchen, pets allowed Environment: The environment is really great, there is a big big garden Service: The front desk brother is very talkative, just find him if you have something to do Hygienic: The room is very clean, the bathroom supplies are fully applied In summary, this store is very comfortable, as if going home, as unrestrained, occasionally come back here to bring a few days, is a pleasant place
