Hostels in Hunan, China

"I had a great stay at Desti Youth Park Changsha. The hostel was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The rooms were cozy, and I really appreciated that there were plenty of bathrooms, so it never felt crowded. They also have a laundry area, which was very convenient during my trip. A special thanks to Eric at the reception — he was friendly, helpful, and made the stay even more enjoyable with his excellent service. Overall, I had a wonderful experience here, and I will definitely come back again the next time I visit Changsha."

"Very nice little place. Owners are friendly and helpful. There is a common area and good wifi, many floors (8+) and many different rooms. Free laundry on the balcony and drinking water, microwave and hot water available, with a food steamer as well. The location is easy to find, close to the river and the main area for the night show. Although the humidity is insane in this little town, this hostel tries to fight it with these machines that dehumidify the air. So in the dorms you will see a bit of mould, but I think all in all that can't be avoided in a humid town like this. Overal it is a nice little stay, the only improvement would be for the cleaning to be immaculate. Recommend 100% if you are a low budget backpacker!"

"The cleanliness of the room and the hotel overall could definitely be improved. The washing machines require you to top up a mini-program to use them, with different time slots and charges. The dryer, however, is free. If it's raining, the humidity is really high, so clothes won't dry on their own, making the dryer essential. There's also a drying area on the rooftop, but I actually felt that if it rained, drying clothes inside the room might be more effective."

"I really recommend staying at this hostel! The ladies at the front desk were very nice and helpful. They not only show you the best route to take, but also help purchase the tickets. The room was also great, there were two separate bathrooms with a shower and toilet and a separate area with sink for six-people room. In the bathroom you can also find shampoo and shower gel. The bed was also nice, it was quite big and relatively soft. The last plus of this hostel is that you have a chance to meet some amazing people if you choose a shared room! (And you might see a cute cat at the entrance)."

"I saw this hostel reviewed on Xiaohongshu and booked two nights based on the great photos on their profile. The location is excellent, nestled in an alley right opposite Yuelu Mountain. It's a lovely, quiet spot. The bed was big and very soft, and the dorms are separated by gender. The bathroom and toilet are combined, and the shower pressure is fantastic. They have a cute poodle, and I also saw a black cat in the lobby and a Siamese cat on the rooftop where I was drying my clothes. Overall, I was really happy, so I extended my stay by another night! Just two minor points: the lighting in the glass room on the first floor is quite harsh, making it impossible to see my face when putting on makeup. Also, the Wi-Fi in my third-floor room was incredibly slow; I had to go downstairs to work on my tablet. Hope they can improve that!"

"The room was incredibly clean, and there wasn't any strange smell from the beds or bathroom. It's rare to find a regular hostel with such high standards of cleanliness; it easily matches the quality of well-known brands like 'Backpackers Ten Years'. The facilities are basic, but the price is affordable, offering great value for money. The landlady is also a very kind and helpful lady. She let us store our luggage for two days for free and gave us a super detailed guide to the forest park, recommending many beautiful spots that weren't crowded. Zhangjiajie is wonderful, and I definitely want to come back! 😄"

"First, the conclusion—this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in, so I stayed for almost half a month! 【Overall Environment】Very new and clean. The owner has some design background, and the overall feel is minimalist and aesthetically pleasing. 【Facilities】One room even has two separate bathrooms and showers, which is incredibly luxurious and definitely deserves extra points! 【Cleanliness】Very clean. As you can see in the pictures, the lobby and rooms are bright and spotless, with no unpleasant odors. 【Bed and Air Conditioning】The mattress is very soft, not cheap bedding, and feels great against the skin. You don't even need to put on a sheet cover, which is very convenient! The air conditioning is also very powerful, yet it's surprisingly quiet, not disturbing your rest—better than many five-star hotels! 【Entertainment Facilities】The pool table is relatively new. I played a couple of games there every day—so comfortable! Also, there's even a free Switch on the second floor—can you believe it?! 【Food】The owner was incredibly welcoming, recommending many restaurants on the first day and even picking us up and dropping us off. None of them were bad! Especially the **Shell Boxed Meals—yyds! I ate there for a week! [Fun] The owner is quite playful; he brought a drone to play with us. A few of us went to a small canyon with Danxia landforms. This place was even more interesting than Xiaodongjiang, which I visited later, because it was undeveloped and more pristine! [Other] The owner also sang karaoke with us and introduced me to a song called ”Post-Rock” (or ”Slow Rock,” I can't quite remember). The song was fun, but it didn't do justice to the owner's personal charm. His goal this year seems to be skydiving or paragliding; I wish him success! [Summary] Danxia red cliffs reflected in the setting sun, Chenzhou is like a dream, no need to return! Mugen Youth Hostel, definitely worth a stay!"

"I had a very comfortable stay. The owner was super nice, and the environment was beautiful and clean. The landlady cleaned every day! It's really close to the subway station, just 100m from Huangxing Square. There are plenty of options for food, drinks, and entertainment nearby. Guys, I've even seen this place half an hour after checking out."

"It has everything you need and the boss is nice. I will come again next time."

"After the Spring Festival, I came to find a house. It was raining, cold, and there were few people. There was one of me in the quadruple room. It was very quiet and quiet during the day (because there are many student parties here, in order to take the exam, I basically understand the hidden rules. If there are some people who affect people's rest, the proprietress will also remind you friendly), Sleeping at night is also quiet (except for the sound of the Japanese food next door during dinner hours: Ding Dong, xx please eat). The warmest thing here is the intimate care of the proprietress (for example, knowing that I am not looking for a house smoothly will comfort and make suggestions, and I will help if I encounter some small things), and the hot water for bathing is hotter than at home, and the water is smooth, available 24 hours a day. Wait a minute and it's hot. The capsule's bed has three bright lights that can meet various needs (such as reading a book, afraid of the dark habit of turning on the night light). There is also a place to dry clothes. Although it has been raining and it is not easy to dry, the hair dryer in the room is very powerful and can be emergency. If you can't, you can also find the proprietress to pay for the dryer. To say that there are any shortcomings, it is not controlled by the boss and the proprietress, such as the quality of passengers, the smell and sound of the surrounding restaurants. If you want to experience a high-quality internal and external environment, you can go to the two heavyweight hotels that Chairman Mao stayed in that year and the garden."
