Hangzhou Hostels

I stayed here for two days from July 4th. As a Japanese woman in my 30s who was generally looking for a place to sleep and take a shower, please see the following impressions. The location is very good. There is a public bus stop right in front of the hotel, and there are several bus stops for other routes within a 5-minute walk. If you are going to visit the West Lake Scenic Area, it is very convenient to use the bus, so the location of the hotel is very good. In particular, it is about an 8-minute walk to the West Lake, so you can enjoy the West Lake from early in the morning until late at night. Actually, when I told them about my stay, I arrived at the hotel a little earlier than the check-in time, but the room was ready, so I was able to leave my luggage there. I was also able to complete the check-in procedure. The owner of the hotel helped me with the app when he found out that my Chinese was halting. When foreigners stay in some countries, they are required to register with the police, but when I told him that I had never ridden an electric motorcycle, the owner of the hotel let me ride on the back of his motorcycle and went to the police station with him. The owner and another woman work at the inn, and they were really supportive of laundry, water server, and room cleaning during my stay. The room was clean and the air conditioner worked well. The maximum temperature was 39 degrees every day during my stay, so it was a relief to return to a room that was well cooled by the air conditioner. The shower booth was really small, but the water pressure and temperature of the shower were just right, so I was able to stay comfortably. My room was on the main road, but thanks to the comfortable room environment, I was able to sleep well, although the traffic noise was a bit bothersome. There was also a row of large plane trees along the main road, and the sunlight filtering through the trees in the morning was beautiful. For people like me who are looking for a place to sleep and take a shower, this inn is perfect. This time I stayed in the summer, so I would like to visit in the winter next time. Of course, I will definitely stay at this inn next time. The owner's true enthusiasm for entertaining me was so strong. I'm so excited. I want to go to your trip to blue again.

Check-in staff and in house staff were really patient, respectful, and helpful. Asked them for direction and they kindly searched for it. This is a dormitory style homestay with shared room and bathroom. We stay in a private room with a private bathroom and toilet.Has hot water with good pressure. Non smoking room. Room is clean but mattress is really old and should be replaced. The tatami layout is nice with a simple sitting area.Recommend for owner to install more clothes hanging hooks for convenience. No tv in room. They have a large common area with regular and hot water dispenser. Many table and chairs for use. Location is far from city centre but within 10km by metro. Same distance to the west lake

Close to the station, more convenient

Once you've stayed here, you'll understand the phrase ”choosing a branch to perch on.” (This idiom means finding a good place to settle). The bedding is changed for every guest, and the duvet is soft with a clean, laundry-detergent scent. The shower is separated from the toilet, and the water pressure is great – you don't have to wait for the floor to dry before going in. The smart toilet is a game-changer for a hostel; once you sit down, you won't want to get up. 🎸 In the evening, someone plays guitar in the lobby. If you're chatty, you can gather around; if you don't feel like talking, just cozy up on the sofa and listen to the music – no one will make you feel awkward. 📍 It's a ten-minute walk from West Lake, and right next to a food street, so dining and accommodation are super convenient. Next time I'm in Hangzhou, I'll definitely stay here again.

This hostel offers incredible value for money, making it my top choice for accommodation when traveling! The location is excellent, right near the subway station, so it's convenient to get anywhere, and all the essential amenities are close by. The rooms are simply furnished and practical, with plenty of space for each bed. The bed curtains provide great blackout and sound insulation, ensuring good privacy. The cleanliness is outstanding; the rooms, common areas, and bathrooms are all spotless and tidied meticulously every day, which really put my mind at ease. The common areas are perfect for socializing, where you can meet backpackers from all over and share travel stories in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The facilities are comprehensive, including self-service laundry and luggage storage, and the 24-hour front desk is a huge comfort. It's affordable and offers a fantastic experience—I wholeheartedly recommend it to every traveler!

The hotel is extremely disappointed. They have a very strange policy of visiting guests, namely a total ban on visiting a room without passport registration (which requires extra payment). My friend wanted to help me to get things in the room and the staff allowed her to come to us for only 15 minutes. After that we watched as other guests the staff refused to skip the guests (they friends wanted to help carry things). I had bronchial asthma and I was extremely displeased with the fact that the room and bedroom were smoked. I had several asthma attacks at night and I couldn't sleep well.

What surprised me most about the facilities was that the toilets even had smart toilet seats! This is a feature that even top budget hotels don't usually have, yet this hostel, which costs only 30 or 40 yuan a night in the off-season, actually has it! However, since it's positioned as a hostel and caters to older guests, this seems to contradict the concept of a hostel, resulting in a rather mixed clientele and room for improvement in the overall quality of the guests.

The hostel is on the fifth floor of the building, very close to the subway station. The public area is large. If you want to be quiet, there is also a study room, washing machines and drying areas. There is a restaurant downstairs.

Overall, it was alright, but there were two things that annoyed me. I initially booked a Comfort King Room, but upon arrival I was told that this room was shared by two households, and I could only choose to stay upstairs or downstairs. If I wanted to stay alone like in a normal hotel, I had to upgrade to an Executive Room, so I paid extra to upgrade, but the Executive Room was way too cramped.

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.
