ZZhangmingruIn the Cape geographical advantage, the large supermarket is very close to the long street, you can not walk, the bar downstairs, although it is very noisy, but very safe, the service is very warm, everyone is very warm, for me a person who is not very good at English is a good choice, and very clean, The little girl at the front desk enthusiastically guided me how to play Zhoushan and Mong Kok. I took the trouble. I stayed at this hotel for six nights. I felt very happy and made a lot of friends. 🥳

GGottschalkFantastic hostel. Felt like the very best in Southeast Asia. Huge common room (with VHS selection! Hah). Good bar on premises, and just a cool, chill, communal vibe. Don’t expect much else, and it’s a bit of a walk to the beach (like 5 minutes, not much) but for a good surf hostel it’s great.

GGuest UserОтличное месторасположение. Тихий район, до продуктовых магазинов 500 метров. Набережная в 30 минутах ходьбы. Удобно, что есть кухня, где можно приготовить пищу. Внутренний дворик располагает для приема пищи. В гостиницу бесконтактное заселение. Возле входной двери 10 коробочек, в которых спрятаны ключи от вашего номера. Сообщение с кодом приходит в день заезда не ранее 10-00. Достаточно удобно
