Charley's was overall a good experience, but we had one problem. We had reserved a three-bed dorm through Hostelworld and when we got there, the three-bed dorms were all full and we were put in our own little cabin. It had one giant kang bed that easily fit the three of us, but it wasn't what we were expecting. Know that the bathrooms for these cabins are outside and pretty rustic, and also that the hostel itself is quite a ways out of town.Charley's was overall a good experience, but we had one problem.

Most rooms face onto the dining room-courtyard, making privacy and quiet a bit precious. Otherwise, a nice place, with a good, reasonably priced restaurant, free hot water, cheapest mineral water in China. It\'s located way out of town near the dunes: great if you want to chill with the desert, but beware that you\'re kind of trapped out there; I\'d much rather be downtown.Most rooms face onto the dining room-courtyard, making privacy and quiet a bit precious.

I had a great time, the hostel is in a fantastic location. However the toilets could have been cleaned more often.I had a great time, the hostel is in a fantastic location. However the toilets could have been cleaned more often....Close
