One of the best hostels I've ever been to. Staff - very helpful and friendly. Very nice and clean rooms. The hostel itself is an old Chinese courtyard, located near the train station. No wi fi is the only inconvenience. I'll recommed it to my friends!

Personnels très attentifs et très chaleureux. Auberge de jeunesse que l'on aimerait rencontrer tout au long de notre voyage. Sans oublier "nio-nio" Merci beaucoup.

This is a well designed hostel in the old Chinese courtyard fashion which is especially beautiful in the night when the small lights come on, giving it an ancient China feel. The bar/restaurant staff were great too. Only stay here for the "Chinese feel". But note that everything else about this place is mediocre: the front desk staff blow hot (maybe just mild) and very cold. They don't really know how to get around town (bad at geography) and they weren't helpful with planning/suggesting tours.

We are a family of 3, we stayed in a 2 storey loft house with ensuite. The 7 sages hostel was the most amazing experience. We would go back there again any day just to experience the peace and tranquility. This was one of best places we have stayed in during our 72 day around the world trip! It was a complete self contained little community providing everyting a traveller needs eg food, security, laundry, tour info and entetainment...THANKYOU to all at the hostel. This is a well organised hostel

Fabulous for what we needed-- a very close walk to the train station. Rooms were clean and modern but a little on the small side, still fine though.

we found the rooms quite cold especially when we arrived as the windows were left wide open even though it was very cold outside. the rooms took a long time to warm up with the heater units.

The Hostel is in a beautiful tang dynasty courtyard and in a really good location. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. Though The pizza wasnt as good as advertised (the only bad thing about my stay) I'd definitely visit again!!

Great location and staff. They gave us a hot tee after arrival and was very helpful while organizing excursions. The place have a wonderful character and quite good internet in comparison to other locations we stayed in China. The price is high.

1. The place is the chinese style that likes I am in China in longs years ago. 2. The reception is not too much service mind. 3. The tour that sell by the reception makes me upset that the guide leave me with the taxi to hotel. 4. I really like the activities that provide by the hostel. 5. The restaurant staffs are so friendly and try to practice English when they have a chance. All is not too bad if staying in this hostel.

Servicio de internet nefasto.Creo que es un servicio imprescindible para los mochileros y aún más, cuando encima no es gratuito..Tuve que ir a una tienda cercana para poder realizar una reserva porque desde el hostal era imposible.El personal de recepción,formado por una plantilla joven, sabe hablar inglés.Pero a excepción de una chica muy maja, los demás parecen estar cansados de tanto turista y te dan las indicaciones justas y se molestan si no les entiendes a la primera. Es bonito,lo único.

Unfortunately I was only here to sleep for a few hours, but it was a nice looking hostel. Internet worked great. Close to train station & locale. Would have loved to play some ping pong too!
