We had a wonderful stay. The only disappointment being the terracotta warriors tour company, which was disorganised and very cramped, with too many people on a rickety old mini bus. We spent more time on the bus than at any attractions, two hours after pick up time we finally got on the road. Later they asked some of us to wait in the bus while others went to an attraction we hadn't paid for. We felt ripped off, and recommend the hostel use a different tour company. GREAT HOSTEL THOUGH!We had a wonderful stay.

Hostel was wonderful, just my room had a few drawbacks,had a strong toilet smell - could be prevented when i closed the bathroom door but inside there was very strong and not that nice and even came back in my room. room could use a new painting, a lot of dead insects on the wallHostel was wonderful, just my room had a few drawbacks,had a strong toilet smell - could be prevented when i closed the bathroom door but inside there was very strong and not that nice and even came back in my room. room could use a new painting, a lot of dead insects on the wall...Close

The location at the south gate is really convenient and the food at the restaurant was really good, if a bit expensive. However the walls were thin so it was very noisy in the mornings from other guests as well as the cleaning staff. Also- I had a REALLY hard time finding this place when I first arrived. If you can have directions written in Chinese for you it might help to find it. I had a very nice stay though and met some great people there too.The location at the south gate is really convenient and the food at the restaurant was really good, if a bit expensive.

The staff are really polite and friendly. The showers are hot, the rooms are clean. It is great to have bar with comfy chairs, good music and a pool table to relax with, although the cocktails need a bit of work :)The staff are really polite and friendly.

This hostel has such a wonderful atmosphere...and it's huge! The location is really convenient too. From the airport shuttle, it's only a 5 minute walk from the last stop, and it's right near the Bell & Drum Towers. The staff is really friendly and really helpful and the rooms are beautiful! It felt more like a hotel than a hostel. Loved the architecture of the place too. Will stay here again when I come back!!This hostel has such a wonderful atmosphere...and it's huge!

The Good: Good facilities, more like a hotel. Good location and friendly staff. Great food in the restaurant. The Bad: Our dorm room didn't have any external windows, very hot as no fresh air, plus the smoke from downstairs in the common areas rises up.The Good: Good facilities, more like a hotel.
