Soho People's Square Youth Hostel Reviews

This is a well-located hostel, but it is off-road (along the Suzhou River sidewalk), so if you're coming by taxi with a lot of luggage it may not be the best choice. Staff was incredibly helpful and patient. The hostel was fairly clean; the room itself was spotless.

Good stay, nor noisy and very nice location

Lots of roaches and the set up of the hostel makes no sense. They didn't have the rooms that we reserved here on hostel world and split up the entire group with some randoms. Rooms had no air movement at all and the ones with A/C didn't have working A/C.

Stayed in a dorm room at first which was exactly as expected. Moved to a double room a couple of nights later which was a bit damp, but otherwise comfortable.

I found the hostel itself to be good, but the girls behind the counter were NOT in keeping with the "cool, bohemian, laid-back" description of the place. They were rude and disrespectful, and that was disappointing. However, the guy behind the counter when I checked out was very courteous and professional. If you ignore the haughty and unpleasant attitude of the girls and just take it in stride, then maybe your stay would be okay.

A really cool youth hostel. I enjoyed my three nights

Everything was great except the room smelled of mold.

This hostel has a great atmosphere and overall great facilities with a cool hangout pool/bar room. However, the rock-hard beds seem to steal the show from this Hostel and they make it almost impossible to sleep comfortably. I usually don't whine about this but it was worse than sleeping on the floor. Hopefully the owner reads these comments, because appart from the rock solid beds this hostel was great. So if you can just put on real mattresses the rest will be fine!

This hostel is near to metro Line 1. And as Muslim travaller I never expected that beside the Xinha Rd station have Muslim Restaurant. The receptonist also can speak in English very well.

Very small mattresses so sleeping was uncomfortable! Like sleeping on a rock. Staff nice and hostel clean. Should have some toilet paper in bathroom. Food in restaurant not great value.

The bathrooms can get a little wet and nasty and the beds are hard as rocks but its a cool place. The interior design is first rate and the food on site is pretty good. Make sure to bring a sleeping bag or cushion and your slippers and you'll be fine.

DO NOT choose that hostel, if you want to have a good / normal bed. like many others wrote here: THE BEDS ARE TOO HARD - hard as stone! maybe for one night okay, but not longer. all the rest of soho hostel is fine...

Very helpful staff, the location is fantastic close enough to the centre of town but easy distance to local markets

Hostel is not located next to the People's Square as the name could suggest. Rooms were clean and we had a good shower. Dissapointing was that we had to wait for after 17:00, untill we could check-in and get into our room.

the room is too small

It was nice stay. Thank you!

We only stayed for a night at the 5 bed mixed dorm. The bed was hard as a rock but for that price it was totally OK for one night. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is good. Just one stop away from Peoples Square on the metro. You can also walk it and get some delicious buns from the corner shop on the way.

Great loacation. Close to the subway and a good location for seeing everything in the city. Very friendly staff. Great bar and hangout areas. Very enjoyable stay. My wife and I have already booked our second stay.

Loved staying here; the only problem was the 2nd floor women's restroom was too dark and difficult to see.

Staff was excellent. Bed was hard as a rock. Bu xing! Foam is cheap, anything is better than sleeping on wood. ;(
