Mingtown Ningbo International Youth Hostel Reviews

This is my second time here. I had a much better stay this time because I was on the top floor. It was much quieter and more comfortable. I will definitely stay here again.

Lovely little hostel, I can imagine that it would be really nice in the summer. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Location is good, not too far from the central area and opposite the lake.

Nice, clean hostel with friendly and helpful staff, who spoke reasonable English. They shut the lobby and want you tucked up in bed by 11pm, but might well flex on this. The five of us enjoyed our stay. Conviently close to the bus station if you want to day-trip to Putuoshan. Next to a river so the area around is pretty.

Very helpful and nice staff. I felt that they are happy to receive guests which creates a good impression to the guests. Keep it up. Although the toilet for the mixed dorm is a bit smelly at times. Other than that, I would recommend this hostel to other travelers. I'd say it's a good value for money. I'd go back here if i get the chance to come to Ningbo again.

Great place to stay, clean and friendly staff.

Warmly Staff and recomended hostel

I like the location - near Ningbo intercity-bus South Station (5-10min walk) and Tianyi Square (10-15min walk). It's in a quiet neighbourhood, so the hostel is quiet most of the time (but it can be noisy sometimes because of the creaking wooden floors). There are a couple of good eateries near the bus South Station. Note: Ningbo train station (opposite intercity-bus South Station) is closed for renovation and all train services are now at Ningbo East train station (You need to take a bus).

The smell of our bathroom was horrible. It was loud but the accommodations were okay. Not a bad price for the what you get.

close to the center, easily to find from the airport, in front of a little lake and its park

The staff was very cooperative, pleasant and helpful Only one suggestion- They did not provide soap in the bathroom. I think soap is a basic necessity. It is rather incinvinient for travellers to carry with them and should be provided at the hostel

Room privacy needs improving. People in the hallway could peek through the curtain into your room.

Hostel was mellow. The best part is that it's right next to a nice park with a big lake. Ningbo is a pretty cool city too if you know your spots.

The location is wonderful but the English of some of the staff is limited, although they did try. It would have been nice to have had some breakfast offered.
