Xiamen Locanda International Youth Hostel Reviews

The hostel was in a decent location and looked charming. However, the beds are awful! The "mats" are worn thin, it is like sleeping on plywood. The communal bathrooms always smelt strongly of urine and never looked clean. Squat pots are the only toilets available. The linens I received all had some sorts of stains on them, looked like blood stains. Bring your own towel as the hostel does not provide or rent them. This hostel has the potential to be nice, but it just misses the mark.

The staff is helpful but the housekeeper. When I arrive, she said she feels bad, ask me to do by myself. It's okay to me, but there is an empty beer bottle nearby my bed. And she just do nothing then left. Also, the toilet just smells awful… It’s a better way to put some deodorant inside.

We stayed in the 4 bed rooms. There were enough space and a locker in each room and for each person. The bed was hard, but it was ok for me as I also have a hard bed at home. Every morning the cleaning lady cleaned the bathroom and the toilets. I wished there would be some more toilets.
