A really nice and cozy hostel. The staff speaks english and can help you with anything! Location is great if you're just staying one night but if you are doing sightseeing in Guilin you are a bit far from everything

Staff was super nice and helpfull! Thanks! Place has great character. It was clean and even has own bathrooms in dorms. Only slight fault was that I paid little extra of Breakfast, because didn't notice that there was discount of breakfast and nobody mention it while i ordered the more pricey choise. But still would really highly recommend this place while in Guilin. Superb!

The staff was very helpful and friendly. We didn't have a reservation and as there were no more private rooms we got a 4 bed dorm with huge beds and that warmed up very quickly for the price of the private room. We didn't really like the like-me-like-me character of the hostel. Theyre constantly , explicitly and implicitly, trying to push you to give them 100% rating on hostelworld... We would however definitely return! Btw, try the lamb sticks on the market on the corner!

They have a lot of facilities: billiard, a bar, games, bikes for rent, Wifi, DVD room, liabrary, tour books, computers. Really cool place also for winter time as they have heating-pads in bed so that you are really warm during the night. Really nice atmosphere and we were lucky that they had a great deal that breakfast was included. So really excellent service, nice staff, and cool location! Only thing: They could modernize the bathrooms.

Great hostel, great staff and nice facilities. Breakfast was good as well and the rooms were clean and nice. Guilin is though not the most exciting city during winter.

The team at Wada Guilin are great, friendly, ever-present, and with good English. They arranged good tours of local must-sees (if only they could get the weather to co-operate too!), and have lots of good advice. They even went the extra mile to help me when I lost photos transferring them from my phone (I have managed to recover some of them, fortunately). The lockers are a good size, and I liked the curtains around the bunk beds - I could pretend I was in a four-poster bed like a princess.

My stay was wonderful. The staff were welcoming and very helpful! The environment was so inviting and relaxing, and everyone was so hospitable! I didn't quite have a plan for what I wanted to do, and the bartender planned a whole cheap day for me! They were knowledgeable about the area and the circumstances. Over all a wonderful stay :)

Fantastic hostel. The girls working there are concrentrate on getting all the details right. They are extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about Guilin and Guangxi province. They can also whip up a great 回锅肉! The rooms are clean and spacious with comfortable beds. The location is also good for getting around town as its connected to all the major sites in the city by a short bus ride. Stellar.

The staff are extremely helpful, friendly and full of charm. Gramps doing security played his Chinese violin at the bar one night and it was lovely. You'll regret staying anywhere else ;)

The staff are extremely helpful, friendly and speak excellent English. Great location, easy to get to from the train station with the directions given online. We got free breakfast as a winter promotion, which was the best one I had in China. Would certainly stay here again!

You definitely get more than you paid for. The staff was spectacularly awesome! BBQ and dumpling nights were great. You can't go wrong here, everything seemed so easy when I made this place my base for a few days. Definitely would recommend.
