10th Aug 2018

The room was fine - clean, comfortable enough, spacious. Kitchen and outdoor space were nice. Close enough to the town centre/port, beaches and a grocery store. However, we were quite disappointed to see the room - a double deluxe with ensuite - didn’t look much at all like the pictures, which meant the value for the price simply wasn’t there - it wasn’t at all modern like the pictures show. The host also asked 250 kuna for laundry which was outrageous- our next stop is doing it for 5€.

Dear Kirsten, thank you for your comment. Pictures of all our rooms are online and they are same in real. We have a large selection of different dbl/twin rooms, most of them were renovated this year and these rooms we offer for longer stay. In your case your first reservation was for only one night.You were accommodated in one of our spacious and comfortable dbl ensuites (from year 2010). Laundry- I am very happy, you found laundry service for 5Euros!

Beautifully designed, and very clean! We loved staying near the main station since it was central and easy to get just about anywhere. Tons of great places to eat nearby, and the staff were helpful with directions. Free breakfast was pretty good, and overall the hostel was excellent value for money.

Great place, but a little different standard than the "Traveling With" hostels in Xi'an and Yangshuo. It's still an amazing price for what you get. Really close to the bus station, and lots of places to eat fairly close. They also upgraded us to a riverview room at no cost, which was great, and the staff were very helpful booking tours and for helping us explore Guilin.

Overall pretty good- nice and cozy common area! Little mouldy in the rooms, but I've definitely seen worse. Good location, great places to get food close-by and they had lots of tours provided if you're interested.

Staff were really helpful. They kept our bags for free while we hiked, helped us get to Leshan, and got us discounted tickets for the hot springs. Very clean rooms, amazing showers and great location for hiking or taking the bus up to The Golden Summit. They even gave us a complimentary water and beer when we came back from 2 very long days of hiking. Great experience!

Thank your favorable comment. Our hotel is close to the bus station, it is a advantage of our hotel, tourists can go to Leshan or The Golden Summit conviniently. Besides, It is also convinient to reach our hotel. The bus 5A can take you from the high-speed train station to our hotel, and it is just 1.5yuan. we also provide tourists with some ideas on how to spend time reasonable, so that tourists can enjoy their time climbing MountEmei.

Asked for our laundry to be done, and asked if we could pay when we picked it up. We only had 2 days, laundry wasn't even started when we went to pick it up after the 24hrs. Must have been a misunderstanding, but it really screwed up our plans as we had a hike planned using those clothes. Bed was very hard, even by China standards, and room was very mouldy. We booked at sister hostel Lazybones on our return to Chengdu and were much happier- cleaner, more inviting and better atmosphere.
