Perfect place to stay before and after a trip up the mountain. Staff are lovely and super helpful with planning. Pretty quiet given a lot of folks are out hiking for most of the day, but enough people around to make friends. Keep in mind that the hostel is next to the main railway station, not the north railway station (which is where the bullet trains stop). You can take a bus from the front of the north station through town to the main one, either #1 or #21. Same route takes you back.

Easy to get to from the subway and a great base for pretty much anything you could want to do that side of Seoul. Not a lot of ventilation in the building - dorm room especially had a dank, sweaty smell that just wouldn't go away. Basement was a nice setup, although I question the location of the smoking room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay again if I needed to be in and around Hongdae for a couple of days.

Far better priced than most of the competition (at the time I went) even with comparable or better amenities - first time I've gotten a free towel at a hostel in Beijing. The location is a bit of a walk from the nearest subway stops, but the hutong is pretty lively, and so Saga would be a good choice for folks looking to a get a whiff of that. The bar had an impressive variety of imported beers available. Will stay again.

Good location right next to Songshan train station, convenient to the rest of the city. The place itself was a little run down and 悶, and the bathrooms could do with a thorough, top-to-bottom scrubbing. Not many locals, which meant a lot of boring been-there-done-that stories from the prototypical backpacker crowd. People barging in and out of the sleeping area all night were a pain. Front desk staff were helpful and friendly, and their cat is cute. Softest toilet paper in Taiwan.

The hostel is a tad cramped for the number of people it's designed to handle, and there isn't really any place to securely store luggage in the rooms. That said, everything was very clean, the front desk was friendly and the limited space made it easy to meet people. Great deal if you're just staying for a night or two.

Best fish I've ever eaten, and good access to beach / mountains. Definitely a top choice for my next trip to Dulan.

Excellent location if you're looking to get out beyond the touristy downtown - Joo Chiat is a really interesting and beautiful part of Singapore. Staff were very friendly and check-in/out was efficient. Beds were super comfortable for bunks, common area played great music and it was easy to meet people. This hostel deserves a higher rating.

The bunks were really uncomfortable - narrow boards with a thin pad for bedding. Woke up with a terrible crick in my back. Staff wasn't around when I needed to check out and didn't answer their cell, so I ended up having to forfeit my deposit. (Very friendly when checking in though.) Not a lot to do around the hostel, but then there's not a lot to do in Shenzhen. Reasonably clean.

One of the two best hostels I've stayed in on the mainland. Clean, well-equipped, and just great energy all around. And those beds! Will definitely stay again.
We didn't know you travelled so much. We feel so much grateful for your encouraging review. Thank you for making us a day! We're also about to upgrade the hostel after the Chinese new year because it means so much to us to secure a cozy and best stay for our guests.

Staff was very helpful and friendly! Hostel was a bit out of the way from the main attractions (10-15 min walk to either dadonghai or xiaodonghai), but the fishing village was convenient and cheap. Close to a lot of the area's nature parks. Run out of water pretty quickly with a full house, shower early!
sorry,we will us the electricity get more hotwater at night now

Had a great time here! Very easy to meet people, close to just about anything you could need, and very helpful staff. A little more expensive than similar places nearby but much cleaner (and the beer was cheap!). Wish the bunk beds didn't squeak so much, but that didn't detract from anything.

Wish they hadn't closed the bar, as there aren't really any other public spaces in the building to hang out and meet people. But otherwise it was decent - reasonably clean and a very good price for a bed in Beijing.

Greatest staff in the world. Not the nicest hostel in SF but the people running it more than make up for it.

Guy at reception put off talking to me for all of 15 minutes until I made my presence known in Chinese; made an excuse about not seeing me (sitting right in front of him). Room wasn't ready in spite of clearly marked time (13:00) on my reservation; had to wait *four hours*. Management needs to get procedures together. Deadbolt didn't work. Creative zone nice; area around it not so much. Redeeming factors: The bar and the people working it were spectacular, and the chef has good taste.

The main lodge area was a little small but turned out to be great for meeting people: noisy and exciting in the evenings, calm and good for reading during the day. Hostel is right off Changjiang St and five minutes from the subway, so it's easy to get to all of the typical attractions. Staff were friendly, and the place well-kept. Stayed in the loft - got a little chilly at night. I came during an unusual cold snap and the AC wasn't quite enough to cover it. But otherwise very cool digs.

The people running the place are great. Very centrally located - two minutes away from the MRT, the HSR, and the main train and bus stations - but you're also listening to cars rush past at all hours. Hostel was generally clean, but the rooms were concrete-box style, with stained curtains and walls taking away from the atmosphere. No outlets in my room, which was a real bummer, as I couldn't charge things overnight. Convenient for a short trip, maybe not so great for a long stay.

Great place to stay for someone passing through. Room was comfortable and relatively spacious, shared bathrooms were clean beyond expectations. Very cheap considering other properties in the city. Some music floats up from the practice room downstairs, but it's done by whenever you'd typically want to get to bed, and it's not half bad in any case. A bit of a walk from the main stretch of downtown, but well-serviced by public transit. Would stay again.
