Lotusland Hostel Train Station Reviews

As a one night stop-over on the way to Vietnam this place is perfect. It's a 5 minute walk from the train station, has excellent and clean facilities and you can get to the main shopping/eating district within 10 minutes (although it is pretty Western).

Well, I only stay there to wait for my Vietnam visa. I didn't realize Nanning is such a small town. Lotus Hostel is quite nice, but internet is way slow. The room is descent, clean but small for 2 people. Also, early in the morning you can hear people hammering across the street so it is pretty loud and annoying if you like to stay up late to go out and sleep in. The staff is pretty friendly, they also speak english so it is a great help !

great place to stay in the hart of the city,staff is wonderful and speak english very good,superclean as wel.behind the river,on a silent road so,no traffic noise

I usually dont really bother to submit a comment. But this place was by far the est hostel I have stayed at in the WHOLE of China, and I have travelled alot. The best was by far the helpful and beautiful staff, they were all very nice!

Well, the location is good, really close to train station, the staff is nice there, just took little bit long time for check-in. The cleanliness is really poor, even you can smell the bed is not fresh, lamp on the bed is broken, no locker in the dorm, and the bed in the dorm makes noises, and i worried about it could be crashed any minute, and sorry for the poor mate understairs. Maybe it's during CNY they don't have people to fix everything. Other things is fine.

great location, 10 minutes walk to the center, helpful staff

An alright place to stay on your way to Vietnam from China. The shared sanitary facilities are top notch, but the private room was exactly the width of the double bed. Also the walls are one sheet of plywood so every sound in the adjacent room are audible. Other than that, no problems here.

Nice, confy hostel in Nanning!! Bit pricy for chineese stantards, but good info to spent a day and get the vietnameese visa!! A must see are the Detian Waterfalls, totally recommendable!!

I've stayed here twice and the girls who work the desk are always really cool. They jump up to greet you with a ton of energy before you even reach the desk, which is really nice to get after a super long train ride. They make the stay really nice simply because you can talk to them and never be bored. So I have to say thanks to them! The beds are very clean and the showers are exceptionally clean, as are the toilets. Even the trash bins are changed constantly. Most employees don't do this!

I stayed already the 2. time at Lotusland and once more I enjoyed realy much.

Pros: Very close to train station. Pretty bedroom and bathroom decor. Fast and reliable Vietnam visa service. Nintendo Wii and good wifi. Clean bathrooms! One of the girls gave us her orange when I had food poisoning and that was the only thing I wanted to eat but my boyfriend couldn't find one anywhere- thank you! Cons: Very hard/thin mattress!! No en suite rooms (one large, shared bathroom on 1st floor). Overall: Would recommend, and would stay there again if we ever passed through Nanning.

We thought the hostel was great but the only downsides were the internet connection to hotmail etc not good and the bed was very uncomfortable very bad bed the base curved inwoulds meaning the middle of the bed was really hard
