Hostels w: Guangdong, China

The location is great, just a 7-8 minute walk from subway exit F. It's located within a residential complex, with the front desk and accommodations in separate buildings. The accommodation itself seems to be in a former residential building. This hostel offers all the usual amenities, including a rooftop and kitchen. The room was decent, generally clean and tidy, though that can depend on your roommates. The shower and bathroom facilities were average but mostly clean (again, depending on roommates). The hallway even had some lantern decorations, adding a touch of Chinese flair. The air conditioning in the room was excellent; with the thick duvet, I had a wonderfully sound sleep. Perhaps it's off-season, as I didn't see many other guests during my stay, and the entire floor was very quiet. There's a 20 RMB deposit for the dorm room key card, which you need to swipe to enter the building unit and again to enter the room. The key card also activates the electricity. Check-in was smooth, and the staff were polite. I only stayed one night, but I'd consider coming back if I'm in the area!

The front desk is on the first floor, and the second floor is an all-female accommodation area, divided into common areas (living room, lockers, restrooms) and guest rooms. Luggage cannot be taken into the rooms. After entering the second floor, you first change into slippers at the entrance of the common area, and then put your luggage in the lockers. Pros: 1. There are two cleaning staff every day, and the common areas and rooms are cleaned daily, which is quite clean. You don't have to put on duvet covers yourself, which is great! 2. The guesthouse facilities and management are well-planned. 3. The common area has desks, charging outlets, a refrigerator, and a water dispenser. 4. Disposable toiletries are complete, including bath towels, sanitary napkins, steam eye masks, etc. You don't need to buy them yourself, which is very cost-effective. Cons: 1. The washing machine and dryer cost money; one wash and one dry costs upwards of 6 yuan. 2. The restrooms are a bit small; it's a bit difficult to open the door and turn around if you're a bit larger. 3. Wet clothes can only be hung in the washing area, which is limited. When there are many people, clothes are squeezed together and can't air out properly. 4. The shower products (shower gel and shampoo are really not good, they don't lather at all. Can they be replaced with better ones?) Overall, it's pretty good. After staying in such a well-managed hostel, I really don't want to stay in private hostels anymore. Although the price is a bit high, there are free disposable toiletries, so you don't have to buy these things yourself, which lightens the burden of our luggage.

I stayed in a dorm room for three days, and my overall experience exceeded my expectations. In the mornings, I'd walk downstairs to the cheong fun (rice noodle roll) shop for breakfast; their fresh shrimp cheong fun was wonderfully smooth and tender. It was just a few minutes' walk to Binjiangdong Road subway station, and I could get to Beijing Road and Yongqing Fang with just one transfer. Each bed in the room had its own curtain and charging port, so I had privacy when I drew the curtain. The communal laundry room was available 24/7, and it was super convenient to be able to wash and dry my clothes right away.

The room was clean and tidy, but the minor details of cleanliness could be improved. There are many decent eateries on Xihua Road: 1. Zhen Wu Men (downstairs): Shrimp dumplings, Wanzai porridge, soy sauce steamed chicken feet (they often have discounts every time I visit). 2. Zhu Fen Mian: The beef rice noodles are pretty good, located by the hostel's riverside. 3. Cai Fu Mian Jia: Fresh shrimp wontons (good for those who aren't too picky). 4. Corinth: Sandwiches with both toasted and soft bread options, quite tasty. 5. Dong Fang Market: A bustling market with a wide variety of fresh, good-quality, and affordable fruits, vegetables, and seafood. You can really feel the vibrant local life of Guangzhou here. 6. Fo You Yuan Vegetarian Restaurant: If you enjoy vegetarian food, you can give it a try. I personally think it's quite good. 7. Xin Zhan Lao Hao Water Chestnut Powder: The water chestnut cake is slightly sweet. Worth trying if you haven't had it before. Recommended places that won't disappoint: 8. Shi Ying Wan Zai Chi (Dezheng Zhong Branch): The taste is decent, good for trying something new. 9. Da Yang Yuan Wei Dun Pin (Weming Road Branch): I've had it a few times. 10. Chang Le Bing Wu (Weming Branch): The Portuguese egg tarts are crispy and not overly sweet, just the right amount of sweetness. The recommendations are listed from nearest to furthest. Public transport and the metro are convenient. Hope everyone has a good experience!

This stay was quite pleasant; everything went smoothly, making for a worry-free experience. The room decor was simple yet stylish, looking fresh and comfortable, with a color scheme that didn't feel oppressive. The air conditioning worked well for both cooling and heating, and temperature adjustments were very responsive. The bathroom's wet and dry areas were well-separated, and the floor drained quickly, so there was no standing water. The towels and bath towels were clean, soft, and felt nice to use. Overall, it's a place I'd readily recommend to friends.

The environment is beautiful, with an endless expanse of blue ocean right outside the window. The air is so fresh, and it really lifts your spirits! The room was clean, tidy, and cozy. Dining was convenient. After dinner, I hit the hotel gym, worked up a good sweat, and then came back to the room for a refreshing shower before falling into a deep, beautiful sleep!

We recently stayed here for two months for a business trip with about 10 people. It took my boss 2-3 days to find this hostel, and we were all really happy with it. It's quiet yet conveniently located. The common area is super comfortable, and the shower water pressure is great and relaxing. The owner even provided good quality shower gel, shampoo, and toilet paper. The washing machine and dryer were reasonably priced to use. Honestly, it felt just like staying in a mid-range hotel, and the cleanliness of the bedding even surpassed some! The owner was always accommodating and helpful. A big thank you to the owner for taking care of us for a whole month. I specifically wanted to leave this good review to commend them.

Pros: Close to the subway station, no need to walk; friendly front desk staff; comfortable bedding; plenty of storage space with a small table; key card access provides a sense of security. Cons: No squat toilet; washing machine is expensive; no proper place to hang clothes on the balcony, so they air-dry slowly and tend to smell; the room had poor ventilation and an odor. But the biggest issue was definitely the roommates! Every single night I stayed here, I encountered incredibly noisy roommates. Late at night, they'd drag suitcases, talk on the phone, eat loudly, play music without headphones, bang bottles on the table, etc. Are the notices on the door just for show? I genuinely want to know how this problem can be resolved. I tried talking to them myself, but they just ignored me and carried on. If I tell the front desk, can they really kick guests out? Everyone pays to stay here. Do we just have to put up with the disturbances of others just because it's a hostel? I really don't understand how some people grow up with absolutely no manners. The late-night noise is one thing, but is it really that hard to throw toilet paper in the trash can instead of on the floor? Not flushing the toilet also affects the next person's experience. And the room had no ventilation, despite clear warnings not to hang clothes haphazardly, some people still did, and others ate late at night. The room smelled really bad! Those who follow the rules have to put up with it, while those who don't live freely. 👍👍👍 They really treat this place like their own home. At least consider that many people are living here and think about others' feelings. If I had encountered well-behaved roommates, or if I could get a reasonable solution to the issues I mentioned, then this hostel would honestly be excellent in every way.

The location is super convenient for getting around, with many attractions nearby. It's right by the Pearl River, Canton Customs House, and Shamian Island.

Stayed for a few days, it was very comfortable. My roommates were also very considerate. The photos are accurate; the landlord sent them to me directly, but they truly reflect the actual place. It's in the city center, and for this price and environment, it's much better than most hostels in Guangzhou. They provide disposable toothbrushes, shampoo, and body wash, and there are no restrictions on using the air conditioning. It's really great! 🌹🌹
