We had a wonderful stay! The entire team was incredibly kind and helpful, but we especially want to thank Hazel—she went above and beyond to assist us and made our experience truly special. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-organized. I will definitely recommend this hotel to all my friends. Thank you again!

Everything is fine.Come to China for a few days like me, and I think it's worth the price.In addition, there is no map in China that can accept pure English, so I chose Google Navigation.But it keeps showing wrong.Apart from this terrible thing, I think everything else is fine and everything is going well.I love the delicious food in China.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
