Really nice youth hostel, the staff is friendly and willing to help us. Perfect location. The only problem is that the roof top on the 6t floor is quite noisy on nighttime, so may be disturbing if your room is on the 5th floor.

For a double room, it would be great to provide towels, otherwise, we liked a lot this hostel.

Our experience in this hostel was only correct but a little bit poor. The staff is willing to help you and they are very efficient. The hostel could be most clean and better equiped (only with a little bit more effort).

This hostel is clean, well located and easy to find from the bus station. The staff are super friendly and really look after you. The staff speak very good English and even better chinese!! The staff provide great advice on activities to do in Yàngshuò. Should you need any help or additional information, the staff are very accommodating. Roof top bar has a relaxed atmosphere, great place to meet other travellers. The views from the bar are stunning! I booked here for 1 wk, but stayed for 3wks!

Nice hostel with good clean beds and the bar got fairly busy in the weekend but not too crazy. Great location, near shops and views from bar were lovely. Cons - bathrooms were small and the night time staff , a man, was really rude when we were watching films, was speaking really loudly on his phone so we couldn't hear the movie and he basically just wanted us to leave so he could sleep on the couch . Apart from that, a good experience

A really great place to stay in central Yangshuo! It is much cleaner than Monkey Jane's (just down the road) but you can still totally benefit from the party scene as everything is so close by. Definitely great value for what you are paying.

Very good hostel, amazing central location and everyones very friendly. The bar is quite quiet but we went over to monkey Janes which is a 1 minute walk away for drinks and had great fun but it was nice to come back to a clean quiet hostel afterwards! I'd definitely recommend showbiz and would definitely stay here if I came to yangshuo again!

Great hostel. Rooftop bar has a nice view of the river and a really good atmosphere in the evenings. Rooms are modern with en-suite bathrooms and it has free washing machines! Intended to be here a few days but ended up staying a week. Staff were super helpful and even booked my onward bus (free of charge). Would definitely recommend the hostel to anyone coming to Yangshuo.

Great hostel, the receptionist didn't know a lot about getting around, but she was really friendly. Free washing machine is really good, but the drier is pretty bad so you can just hang up your clothes. Good rooftop bar.

NIce place up an alley right at the end of West st. The directions could be a little clearer- You have to walk to the end of West St and turn right. Theres a small alleyway about 15 m away- the hotel is up there. My only word of warning- be prepared to carry a suitcase up 4 flights of stairs- so backpackers are better off. Roof top bar is super cool and West St has awesome nightlife.

It was great, I could really appreciate the cleanliness of the establishment, it was really refreshing. I really like the Bartender Michael he is a really nice guy and I would return just to chat with him.

This is a great hostel, the roof top bar has an awesome view and the atmosphere is really nice... Staff is very friendly and helpful and they have a super cozy common area. We don´t recommend to use the clothes dryer, you will have to pay way too much for it. We super recommend this hostel.
