Good hostel with very friendly staff - could benefit from keeping the bar fully stocked and there didn't seem to be much of a scene there during my stay (ie. I don't think anybody had a drink on the roof while we were there). Still, rooms were good and staff were great.

Our stay at No Kidd Inn was just perfect. The atmosphere there was great and the staff were super helpful, answering any questions we had and helping us book any tours or trips we wanted. The view from the rooftop is lovely and it's nice and peaceful up there. It's only a 5 minute walk to West Street and the roads leading off it which is where we ate most days, though the hostel does some lovely food too. No Kidd Inn made our stay in Yangshuo very pleasant and I would definitely recommend it.

We had an excellent stay at your hostel. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, and the staff was very helpful in booking activities. However, I would not recommend the rice terrace tour. We were told that the tour would be in both Mandarin and English. Although our guide was trying his best, myself and others had a very difficult time understanding anything. As a point of reference, I have been living in Asia for 6 years now and am used to varying degrees of spoken English.

The problem that other reviews mention hasn't been solved. The dorm is really humid and has a huge stain in the wall. Other than that, the place is great, really clean and comfortable. The staff speaks good english and helps you with everything. Definitely would go back.

Loved our stay here! The guys at the desk were always there to help and always cool. Our room was fine and had the needed amenities, and the rooftop's view is fabulous (particularly if you'll be there for any fireworks). While we were there we arranged a few tours as well as rented bikes through the desk, all of which were a great time and well managed. It may not be as party crazy as other hostels, but that's one more reason we liked it. Also, we love Nana the dog. Highly reccomended.

The staff, especially Yannis, was incredibly helpful. When we needed any services (i.e. motor bikes, taxis, kayaking trip), they were able to set it up for us. THe hostel was within walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants. We hung out at the rooftop bar (which could use some work and more utilization), but my friends and I brought up beers we got from the hostel to enjoy the wondeful view of the mountains. :)

no KIDD inn is a new KID on the block on the YS ACCOMMODATION scene, OPENING a year ago. the owner is ACCOMMODATING and OPENLY FRIENDLY - when i made FRIENDS with a Mexican couple at the hostel and they later looked for me for a dinner OUTING, the owner went OUT of his way, RUNNING up the stairs to call me in my room. reception is RUN by an all male STAFF, and while this may SOUND STUFFY, i prefer girls, who usually SOUND FRIENDLIER. electronic room door LOCKS, but no LOCKERS in the rooms.

The location was excellent, perfectly close enough to the town center only 15mins walk so lots of peace and quiet at night time as well a chill out time. The staff were amazing, get to know them as they are very sweet. They are also very organized and spoke excellent English and helped organized many activities for us. The food was great .The rooms and hostel were always kept very clean.
