The hostel was okay. I was the only one in the hostel. The toilets are squatting toilets. The bed has a very thin mattress. The location is good, there are plenty of restaurants nearby.
Response from Property: Thank you.hope you have a peaceful and happiness life.😀

Hostel was clean and comfortable. Only squat toilets in case that’s an issue for anyone. Hangai took us on a trip to his family yurt, was fabulous, went horse riding and did archery too. He speaks great English and we learnt so much, amazing experience!!

Had an amazing stay at Hang Gai International Youth Hostel! Three of us stayed and the hostel itself was just what you need - comfy bed, hot water and in a great location to explore the city (you can get subway, taxi or cycle/ebike pretty much everywhere). But what made the stay so good was Hanggai and the amazing trip we went on to the grasslands. Hanggai is a fantastic hostel, very friendly and welcoming, and we spent an evening at his place a few hours drive for the hostel; as you can see by the photos it was a beautiful location and super quiet. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again Hanggai, we had a great time! 😊

Hangai was an amazing host. I was the only traveller and he made every effort. Took my to his families Yurt in the Grasslands which was exactly what I was looking for when coming to Hohhot - and some horses riding.

Manager on duty was pleasant and super helpful. Just need a better signboard for the hostel as the alley is dark. Great hospitality by the manager

Very friendly staff, who were also open to some tak in the evenings. Good atmosphere, and ideal location with a metro station, Shopping Center, Inner Mongolia Museum and multiple bars all being very close. 10/10, highly recommend!

The hostel itself is very cute and cozy, though you will notice that it's already been through some years. The rooms themselves were nice and clean. The bathrooms only have squatting toilets, which in itself is not a problem; however I believe there were some guests around that didn't know how to properly use them and the bathrooms weren't cleaned daily so unfortunaly I cannot give more points on cleanliness.
I don't know how much English is spoken and I'm not sure how many tips staff can give about the surrounding sights. We asked if it was possible to get to the Xilamuren grasslands by public bus and the receptionist told us it wasn't. It is though, you can take a long distance bus to Zhaohe from the long distance bus station. We didn't ask for any more directions afterwards...
Response from Property: Thank you. In the off-season, a few volunteers are watching the shop. Sometimes they are not local people, so they don't know much. You can call the boss. He usually goes to the grassland. The cleaning is done every day around 1:00 p.m., so maybe you won't be here. Thanks again!

I’n generally the hotel isn’t of a high standard but I bet you the price is way cheaper, I enjoyed my stay here, the receptionist could speak English, he was very kind and help , to be-honest if I’m coming back to the hotel it’s because of the receptionist ,he even prepared food for me , I couldn’t believed it, the guy is just so go that he will answer all your questions and be there for you. I recommend this hotel to anyone, you will like it trust me and the location is great.

I arrived on my own to Inner Mongolia and left with a heart full of experiences, adventures and good friends all happy to discover with an open mind.
Beds are comfortable and daily cleaning is in place, location is super whether coming from the train station or airport you can reach the hostel in less than 15-20 minutes by metro.
The atmosphere in the hostel is precious and this is all in grand part due to Hang Gai & fam ‘s warm welcome. I will always remember the immense grasslands and the valuable discussions. I am touched and it was hard to leave but I am sure I will be right back if ever in Hohhot again.
