The inn is close to shops, tourist centre and within walking distance to the wharf. It didn't have a lift but the staff helped us to take the luggage.

Lack of basic provision. Mineral water need to be asked before given. The curtain for my room is too short to cover its entire length. No table space for personal items.

The location and the friendly staff. The view was great from the rooftop.

Perfect location in Xingping! Easy to walk everywhere: two minutes away from base of Lao Zhai mountain hike, two minutes to old town area, around 15 minutes to 20 Yuan scenic spot. I really appreciated that the staff helped me get a more comfortable room when I was checking in. At the reception desk there was also a lot of recommendations and suggestions for what to do and how to get around. Make sure you go to the rooftop patio for a beautiful view!

The location is perfect. Owner speaks English and they have English guidebooks and hiking recommendations for the guests. Nice downstairs to hangout and great rooftop to have dinner and enjoy the sunset. Bed has curtains and a plug and room has lockers. Breakfast 20rmb. Very friendly staff.

The WiFi was a little unreliable. Not a big problem for me but may be for some people.

Friendly staff, cosy rooms. Good pizza from next door's rooftop bar/restaurant. Can't argue with the price.

My room had some piping behind the bed so I could hear, vividly, running water when prople went to the bathroom or toilet. It was distracting at night time.

Location. Friendly staff. Staff were lovely and very helpful. They offered a breakfast for 20rmb and you sat the partner building which had a great view!!! The location was great, right by the river and sites. Shower was strong. Thank you.

Could be a bit cleaner. The bathroom lit up the room at night due to the type of material used for the bathroom wall.

Great location and price. Staff went above and beyond to make sure I was ok. Even helped call the buses as I was trying to get to longji.

This hostel was perfect for my time in Xingping. With breakfast available everyday, and friendly staff members who were able to help with any requests that I had. I really enjoyed going up to the rooftop for lunch or dinner, it was a great view!

everything is perfect. friendly staff, location close to train station, comfy bed

Noise. Mainly because there are many families in big rooms, all the rooms are located in the stairway. And there is also a big restaurant on the last floor which is opened to all customers in town. Noise pollution guaranted. There was also usual bad smells of the bathroom, and the humidity smell.

The business owner speaking English is definitely the key point of this hotel, whom can give you precious information if you want to trek around. Otherwise it’s a regular Chinese hotel.

unfortunately the selling point of the place, the roof top terrace which DOES have lovely views, is not to be enjoyed during the summer 2023 because the neighbouring building is going through a thorough construction with noisy drilling and hammering from early morning to late evening. nothing that the hotel can do about it, though.

Central location and relaxed staff

Stayed in June 2023

There's mosquitoes inside the room...but maybe for d price I paid n d proximity, maybe it's just a fair hotel...

The location was good just a walk away from ancient street (night market), mountain climbing n a boat ride to another island...the food resto above was not expensive n serving was big...the staff was good n gave me free bottles of water

Maybe they should better manage the prices, as the receptionist couldn’t believe that my booking included breakfast, because it was so cheap!)

clean rooms, fantastic location and roof seating area! probably your go to in this area!

well, the first night they put me in a.34rmb bunk bed, which i didnt.mind, as it was just one night, however the room.had a foul smell, then as the night progressed i could hear the people shitting on top or the feces dropping down through the.pipes not a pleasant sound to sleep or wake.up to...anyways, i moved to my single room, the receptionist , a volunteer who spoke fluent English, gave me room 407, as she said it had the best view, which it did, but not exactly the rooftop view of the mountains and rivers, i wanted to make this my.base and travel around and not have to move frequently, however, this was a bad idea, as the 2nd night or 3rd, i could not sleep.well, why? there was a foul smell of feces again coming from the bathroom drain or from.the AC system, i turned off the AC, and.opened the window, i woke.up.at 1aam anf didnt fall asleep until 4am, at 7 i woke up to go to Yangshuo, take a 1 hour bus, as its not close...i stayed i Yangshuo for the day and night, i was scared by.now to go back and smell the feces smell again at.night, i found a ,32 rmb bunk.bed, no smell, bathrooms are far watmy, nice cold AC, slept for 8-9 hours, a perfect rest, i went back to xingping OLD house hostel to cancel the rest of my 5-6 days, they gave me two.options, one to.move to their Lin River hotel, i.wad afraid the drainage and sewer system would be the same as the buildings are next to each other, the 2nd option, refund 50% only of the rest of my 5-6, days, was around 340, instead of 680 rmb, i did not want 340 to ruin the rest of my trip and 1st time in Guilin and Yangshuo...i learned a lesson, dont book for over 2 days, 1 night should be done first to get a feel, then decide to rent.for.more days, they are running a for profit biz, the hostel is.old literally, its an old building of 10+ years with a terrible sewer and drainage system, if you value a goood.night rest in your room, dont book this hostel, there are othet.options in this Xinping area, and in Yangshuo

i did not have breakfast, i saw the food and it.was not reallly that appetizing to eat, they cater more.for a.Chinese clientele, some foreigners stayed there but.not too many, maybe in the past they did, for.being an international youth hostel, the menu.was not in english, through the app i wrongfully ordered a banana pizza instead of a regular margharita, it didnt seem to be firewood oven baked, more like a regular electric oven...the view in the rooftop was nice, but thats the only good assset this hostel has, yet, this view is in.their adjacent.newer.hotel called Li River INN, the old house hostel doesnt.have this.view...i.did not eat.or drink after the 1st.night

its ok

Great alternative to Yangshuo (mush better in my opinion if you don't like too much commercialization). Epicenter to many activities, hiking, rafting etc... Nice breakfast available for 20RMB. Friendly and helpful staff on site. Highly recommend staying here.

There was a smell of damp clothes in the corridors.

Great location, with easy access to Xingping ferry and walking distance from other popular view points.
