Solid hostel. It's a mix of longterm stays and travellers passing through. Clean facilities, nice pods in the dorms and a chill atmosphere and close to the metro. If travelling by bicycle. You will have to talk to the security guards of the plaza to let you enter. There is an elevator past the escalators as the hostel is on the second floor. The hostel let me keep my bike inside the main lobby area

8.5/10

Hostel is alright. Quite centrally located. Has a large common area and a rooftop where you can hang out. Can meet people in the lobby but there won't be that many international travelers. Staff doesn't speak English but they generally know what to do. Only hot water dispenser. Hard beds, but I slept well on them. Cleanliness is okay for a Chinese hostel but not on par with international standards. Common area will be covered in trash but you are likely used to that from other places here already. I think this place is okay but I also stepwise lowered by expectations in this country, in particular to what male neighbors are emitting in terms of noise, dirt and cigarette smoke.

It was a good place to stay, the room was clean and even though it was winter after you enter the bed the cold is not a bother, it has many different commodities, as it is a hostel and you share bathroom it has a makeup place. It has a kitchen but I don’t know how it is as I didn’t use it, and there was a place where you can left your suitcase. In general it was good. Thanks

After staying in the first room on the first night, I booked another room in the same hotel for the second night. This room was slightly more expensive (around 10 RMB more) but it had a window facing the road. The room had all the same basic amenities as the first one, including Wi-Fi, slippers, dental kit, shower gel, towels, and a hairdryer. The cleanliness was also just as good. The room was very clean with no dust, and the bathroom was neat and well maintained. Compared with the first room, this one was slightly larger and felt more comfortable mainly because of the window. The window provided natural light and ventilation, which made the room feel much more open and pleasant. Overall, everything I mentioned in my previous review about the hotel—such as the cleanliness, basic amenities, reasonable price, and convenient location—also applies to this room. The only difference is that this room is slightly bigger and has a window, which makes it a bit more comfortable. If you are deciding between the two, paying a little extra for the window room is worth it. It is still very affordable for this location and provides a more comfortable stay. ⸻ 在第一晚入住没有窗户的房间之后，第二晚我仍然选择住在同一家酒店，不过订了一个稍微贵一点的房间（大约贵了10元左右）。这个房间有一扇面向马路的窗户。这个房间和第一晚的房间一样，配备了所有基本设施，例如 Wi-Fi、拖鞋、牙具、沐浴露、毛巾以及吹风机。房间的卫生状况也同样很好，非常干净，没有灰尘，浴室也整洁干净。和第一晚的房间相比，这个房间的面积稍微大一点，而且因为有窗户，所以整体感觉更加舒适。窗户带来了自然采光和自然通风，让房间感觉更加通透和舒适。总体来说，我在之前评价中提到的优点，比如房间干净、设施齐全、价格合理以及位置方便，在这个房间里同样适用。唯一的区别是这个房间稍微大一点，并且有窗户，因此住起来更加舒服。如果需要在两个房型之间选择，我会建议多花一点点钱选择带窗户的房间。价格依然很实惠，但整体住宿体验会更好。
