Wada Hostel in Guilin Reviews

Sooooooo friendly staff, unbelievable! Perfect location

Wada, while out of the way, was a great place to stay. The buses are easy to catch and only 1 yuan. The staff speak great English and are very helpful. Usual hostel facilities available (tours etc) - and liked that they had a dvd catalogue to pick movies from. Breakfasts were good enough , but set breakfast only so not good value if you only wanted eggs. Have since stayed at another hostel in Guilin (How Flowers) and saw that bamboo raft trip to Yangshuo was only 150 yuan, at Wada we paid 180.

One of the best hostels I ever went to! Staff is very friendly, close to the hostel is a bus station that takes you to all of the famous spots in Guilin! Very convenient! Nice cocktails and excellent atmosphere!

Excellent staff, nice trip arrangements, delicious breakfast!!!

Fantastic atmosphere, very friendly stuff, good location. Special thanks for regular Rice Terrace trip.

We spend three nights there and really enjoy our stay. The staff is frendly and very helpful. We also have a fun free cooking dumplings class with degustation...Great!

extremely funny, warm and helpful staff. No matter whether when being lost in the city, when I wanted to borrow a map or for any other advice, they were really helpful! Just very comfortable and homely atmosphere.

Wada helped us book the beautiful rice terraces and li river cruise and I have to say it was one of the most marvellous things I've seen in my life. I enjoyed China very much and will surely come again.

Probably the best place I've stayed in throughout all of China. The staff here do everything humanly possible to make sure you get to where you want to go. The BBQ was amazing! and the dumpling party!

I love Wada! I will miss you girls so much!

Great hostel! I loved it! The staff are so loveable!

some staffs speak good English but some were not. the rooms was clean but the toilet too old and bit dirty. food at the hostel was not good.

Can't say enough good things about this hostel. They simply are the best! The staff here will leave you yearning to come back again and again. And those home-made dumplings are exquisite! Also, it was nice that there was access to facebook.

After travelling China for over 2 weeks in about 6 different hostels, this was our best choice. The atmosphere in the hostel with the other guests and the staff was amazing. Free dumpling making party, a couple of free beers while playing a beergame, hanging out with the staff to play pool and chess. Just awesome. Also they arranged us a nice trip to the rice terraces and got answers on all your questions. Nice DVD room, clean toilets and spacious rooms. In sum: best value for money.

The staff went far out of their way to meet our needs. I previously read through comments from others, and the stuff that upset some commentarians was just stuff that is normal in traveling China. It is a fun part of orienteering through another culture.

Very very friendly staff! We accidentally broke the key to our room and the only thing they said was "Maaan you must be strong like Hercules!", so no trouble at all :) The breakfast was free and they gave us very good tips on which bus to take to get to Yangshuo. Come here, it's such a nice place!

A truly unforgettable experience. The staff there are always engaging and go above and beyond to make one feel right at home. Probably the most friendly and knowledgeable group of people I've met with also the most exceptional English (not easy to find in China). The hostel was easy to find from the train station and was easy to get around the city with all the buses stopping right outside their door. Wada, I will be back again!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Wada hostel. This is the second time I have stayed here and it never disappoints. It’s always clean, rooms are comfortable and the common areas are a pleasant place to be. It’s a great place to meet other travellers and they have lots of activities to keep you busy. But above all it’s the staff that makes this place great. They are always willing to help and nothing is ever too hard to fix. Thanks again for a great stay and keep up the good work.

Fantastic hostel, great staff - really helpful, electric blankets in winter!!! couldnt recommend enough!!

This was the best hostel i stayed in in China so far. Especially the staff were not only really helpfull but also mingeling with the guests. The bar had an old school hostel atmosphere. The name of the hostel shows that they don't take themselves too seriously and that shows. Everyone spoke decent English.
