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.

    It was a charming hotel, with a great location. Every morning, people danced on the street on the other side of the road, witch was a very pleasant way to start the day. The room was very spacious, with a great bed, huge window and a stunning view. Bruce Yi was very welcoming and Jenny (the sales manager) arranged us all the tours that we wanted to do. Very efficient.

    I really like the owner - Luka, and his employee - Lucy. They both speak English fluently and they are very helpful. Hostel is very cheap and located not far from the main attractions. I spent 3 nights in a dorm and I like it. Beds have curtains, so it is easy to separate from others if needed to fall asleep earlier.

    After 1 month in China this was the best Hostel yet. Good Location near the elephant Trunk Hill and a nice breakfast for a small fee. The Coffee and Beer selection was especially extraordinary. The staff helped me with booking Several Tours and showed me around the City.
