RiverSide YHA (Jiangpan) Reviews

Pretty good hostel. Only annoyance is that A/C gets turned off during the day which makes it hard to take a nap or even cool off anywhere since the common areas also don't have A/C.

we stayed two nights and it was a very nice place, with good people and a good hall where all the backpackers eat, talk or drink. Really good hostel with high standards.

Enjoyed staying here - has a nice lounge room area and rooms were clean. Staff were helpful.

Very friendly staff, no problems there. Good English skills. Private rooms are nice, like standard hotel rooms so good value for money. I would stay there again next time I am in Guangzhou.

good hostel, location in riverside and staff good in english

location location location. great little street nearby with shopping and a smallish night market with great food. good views across the river. close to the metro and the ferry terminal. place is kinda big though and i dont know if you will meet too many people there unless you hang out in the lobby all day.

My initial impression with the check in staff is that they were already annoyed with me. They did little to change my opinion over the days I stayed there. It wasn't particularly clean, it wasn't dirty either. The location was wonderful and the other guests were wonderful. The hang out area was quite nice and their coffee was pretty good. But my first reception and their attitude scared me away from asking for help.

compare this youth hostel with the others let me think it doesn't worth the money spent(no rent towel, no lockers,are two examples), that's it.

this hostel was ok. the staff was friendly. i just didn't like the fact that you had to pay for everything (i.e. a towel or a locker)... but besides it was a really nice hostel! the metro station is also very close to the hostel!

Good location, just 10 minute walk to the subway. Just that in winter, their air conditioning do not have a heater unit and it can get quite chilling as the blanket isn't too thick. You can also request for extra blanket. The TV reception is not strong, but I don't really use it anyway. The place is clean and you have a good chance to meet people from all over the world.

It was a great hostel overall, only downsides...our air unit was broken so was beyond freezing in our room didn't sleep well but obviously that wouldn't affect majority....and only Internet in lobby slight inconvenience but overall great hostel definitely worth what we paid. Plus perfect location.

I stayed in this hostel for one night and had a really nice and clean room. this hostel is definitely worth a visit and I would stay there again.

I will be back soon ! Thank you for all !

I only stayed one night and found the whole place incredibly clean. I was recommended this place by a previous guest and I can see why. The location is suitable for river walks and it's a relaxing hostel being a little bit away from the crazy areas. I ate breakfast there which was not memorable and a little overpriced for what it was.

I couldn't travel with a laptop, so it would have been fantastic to have used a hostel's computer, if there was one.

Best hostel in Guangzhou!!

Nice size hostel with good common area for meeting others. The location, whilst on the other side of the river, is only a very short and cheap (0.5 yuan each) boat ride to just off shamian island, or v close to Fungcun metro. There are plenty of restaurants and clubs on the river front bar street - Not sure what other reviews are referring to when they say that the area is quiet. Would stay again.

Good hostel, reasonably convenient, very clean. Relaxing sitting out area to have breakfast in the morning. Best place i've stayed in GZ. Definitely use again

Has high speed internet but the location isn't the greatest. Not too much within walking distance except the subway and pier.

Spacious and well-organised place on the river in Bar Street.
