Perfect hostel. One of the staff members even gave me a massage and was super friendly (forgot her name - short hair, glasses, usually has day shift). Made my stay wonderful.

Everything was very smooth. We were allowed in at 5am by an employee who let us relax in the lobby until the front desk opened while he played an erhu for us. They had maps and lockers and helped us with advice about the city. The only drawback was the deposit for the bike rental was a bit high so we were unable to do that.

Dear, Thanks for staying with us. Also thanks for your nice review. :) As for the deposit of the bike rental, we are really sorry for that. Before we just kept guest's passport to rent the bikes, but after one bad story, it is that some people lost 2 bikes but refused to give compensation, and eventually the police told us that we don't have right to keep people's passports, and finally we didn't get any compensation from the guests.... So we have to ask for cash deposit for that, we really don't like it either. Sorry for it again, we'll try to find a better solution. Thanks again. Team Wada

Lovely Wada Girls :) We had so much fun in your hostel, it was the best 2 nights on our whole trip through East Asia. The ambience was terrific, you can't pay with money for that. You organized our day trips to the rice terraces and Yangshuo so well. And the BBQ night was legendary, we enjoyed it so hard! We will always come back to your place. Thank you, Philipp

Located in the centre of Guilin. Staff were really friendly, learning your name and all of them spoke superb English. The hostel was clean and comfy and the food was good. The barbecue night was really good value for money at 30 RMB each and was an excellent chance to meet many other people. Also the food was plentiful, everybody ate until they could eat no more. One of the best hostels we've stayed in.

Staff were helpful and fun. The location is really close to the main train station. A couple bus stops away from downtown but given the bus routes to everywhere.

Stayed here a few years back so booked again for a twin room with ensuite. Great location, helpful staff, bargain price. Only issue was a dirty towel in the room but that was replaced as soon as it was mentioned to reception. Heated mattresses were incredible!

Stayed here for 3 evenings all together with my brother and a friend. Awesome experience, super friendly environment. The wada girls are extremely friendly and very helpful. Can't really fault the place. Shower could probably be better but for such great vibe, facilities, location (felt like a sanctuary from the outside but with all the necessity super close-by), definitely recommend staying here. Wish every hostel was wada.
