Hostels in Zhejiang, China

The environment and atmosphere here, along with the people, are fantastic. Even traveling alone, you won't fear loneliness. There's an activity group where you can find buddies to organize outings, go out for food and drinks, do night cycling, or even play Werewolf downstairs. Perhaps because it's a youth hostel, a gathering place for young people and travelers, everyone is so enthusiastic! As long as you're willing to speak up and interact, everyone will welcome you. It's just that I'm quite introverted and prefer quiet solitude; my social battery is low, so I don't really talk to them, haha.

The Yujintai Youth Hostel is right next to the subway station, so you don't have to walk far to get around. I stayed on a high floor and had a great view of the river, which was lovely. The hygiene was good – the sheets and bedding were clean, and the restrooms and showers were always tidy with hot water available at all times. It's also convenient for food, with convenience stores and small restaurants nearby. Overall, it's not a luxurious place, but it's great value for money, hassle-free, and clean, making for a comfortable stay. It's perfect for anyone visiting Hangzhou for leisure or business.

On the shores of West Lake, I found a hostel I'd happily return to again and again. To be honest, the name initially caught my attention. But after staying there, I realized the details are what truly make you want to stay. 🛏 Cleanliness: Linens are changed for each guest, and the duvets smell like sunshine. The shower rooms are wet/dry separated, so there's no standing water after showering. 🚽 Surprise: A smart toilet! That's a top-tier amenity for a hostel at this price point. 🎸 Atmosphere: In the evenings, you can hear guitar music in the common area. If you don't feel like socializing, you can just relax and listen to the music. If you want to chat, someone will naturally join in. No one judges you; it's very laid-back. 📍 Location: Right by West Lake, within walking distance, and surrounded by plenty of food options. Next time I'm in Hangzhou, I'll definitely stay at 'Jian Zhi Er Qi' again.

The only good thing: the location is fantastic, just a short walk from the subway station. The front desk ladies were super friendly. There was also a cute dog. However, the accommodation area was very poorly managed. The dorms weren't separated by gender, and the soundproofing was terrible; you could clearly hear conversations from the next room. People in the hallway were loud, with men staying up late and making noise, and someone coughing early in the morning. The doors also slammed shut with a loud bang every time you closed them. Overall, the common areas felt quite chaotic.

The room was okay, just a bit small. Maybe it's because I've stayed in really nice hostels at the same price point before, so I was a bit surprised by this one. I didn't realize hostels could be this big and have so many rooms. Also, I'm not sure why, but there was a strange smell in the room that I couldn't get used to.

The zoo is not far away and the bus station is within walking distance. The facilities are pretty good. You can refer to the pictures.

Close to the station, more convenient

The boss is very nice and always talks about delicious food and fun. The store has a large space and is very comfortable to live in. There are complete entertainment spaces, including a movie room, singing room, billiards, etc. It's a great experience!

I was really satisfied with the room; it offered great value for money. This guesthouse is quite unique, located within an ancient building. Best of all, there was no formaldehyde smell from renovations, which I'm very sensitive to. While it might be a bit old and small, the overall experience was excellent. They even have their own restaurant, which hosts events every night at 9 PM, like movie screenings, dancing, and releasing river lanterns. The value here is truly unbeatable. Plus, the location is superb – just a 3-minute walk to Lu Xun's Former Residence, right within the scenic area. Highly recommend it, it's really good!

The service was excellent!!! The front desk lady was very considerate and attentive assisting me even before arriving. Later, she promptly helped me on how to get transportation for different sightseeings in Hangzhou, facilitating my stay. The night attendant (a young boy) was also helpful and approachable. The hostel ´s location is just 2-minute walk from a 7-Eleven for essentials and a 5-minute walk from the station. The common area is inviting, with many places to sit and relax, and a water dispenser. Also, the shared dormitory bathroom is very clean. I've enjoyed very much my stay at the hostel :)
