Hostels in Inner Mongolia, China

This hostel made for a very comfortable and well located base to explore Hohhot. It is very straightforward to find, located in a large high rise apartment building, with key to the door provided. The owner/manager is very responsive and helpful. The bunk space is great, with everything I needed, and also comes with a fan. I met some very decent people in this hostel which is also an important part of travelling. Highly recommend this place. Just be mindful that Chinese toilets and shower rooms are rather different from European/Western standards. Flipflops provided. Cheers.

There are a lot of flowers in the corridor, the environment is not bad, the room is large, there is a washing machine to wash clothes, washing powder is provided, the short sleeves are particularly clean, it should be a good washing powder 😀 Erguna is a very good youth travel

Excellent location. Take the airport bus to Chunxi Road and then take the Metro from Chunxi Rd Station to just one stop away Xinnamen Station. Make sure you come out at the right exit. You can see the hostel as you come out. The room is spacious! There is a roof garden and a nice lounge area. P.S. Google map does not work in China. Download MAPS.ME. Also download Wechat - you text in English they translate to Chinese and vice versa.

It is located in Hailiang Mingmen, with various large shopping malls downstairs, where you can eat, drink, and have fun. It only takes about ten minutes to ride an electric bike to reach the Dazhao Wuliang Temple. The hardware is pretty good, except that the area for washing and going to the toilet is separated by a room with a door. Inside is a squat toilet for showering and going to the toilet (I personally prefer squatting, after all, there are so many people), and outside are two washbasins. The boys are in two rooms behind the white curtain, and the girls are behind the pink curtain. Maybe my luck has almost run out. Although the environment is okay, I was not happy living there. First, there was a boy in the room smoking in the public area. Fortunately, after I reminded him, he went out to smoke (but there were still people smoking later. It was even more exaggerated the next morning. They didn't smoke in the public area, but directly behind the curtain. The whole public area was smelly, and even the girls' room could smell it with the door closed. I was too lazy to follow their instructions when I was about to leave). There was a peculiar smell, and the boss said it was a human problem. He moved me to a bed in another room. As soon as I opened the door, I was overwhelmed by the strong smell of takeout. A pile of takeout was left on the table and not thrown away after eating, and the window was not opened to disperse the smell, even though there was a big trash can at the entrance. I said goodbye to them, opened the window to get rid of the smell, and reluctantly fell asleep. To be honest, the static electricity from the bedding was really strong. Fortunately, I was wearing pure cotton, but when I touched the exposed skin, sparks and lightning still occurred. See the last picture for my experience the next morning…I’m really speechless. I had originally wanted to get up early and pack up so I could go to the half marathon finish line to join in the fun, but the public area was filled with smoke, so I had to drag my suitcase back to the room. Other people were resting in the room, so I didn’t want to make any noise, so I had to pack up slowly. By the time I finished packing, it was too late to go over. I stayed in two youth hostels during this trip, and none of them was like here where everyone closed their doors and didn't communicate with each other. Before, even if there were boys, everyone could chat in the public area and even eat and play together. Later, I realized that maybe no one wanted to stay in the public area because it was always filled with smoke, and even if there were people there, they would just watch the washing machine wash clothes alone. I've said so much, it's not that this youth hostel is bad, it's just that I'm unlucky, I didn't meet a good companion here~

The hostel itself is very cute and cozy, though you will notice that it's already been through some years. The rooms themselves were nice and clean. The bathrooms only have squatting toilets, which in itself is not a problem; however I believe there were some guests around that didn't know how to properly use them and the bathrooms weren't cleaned daily so unfortunaly I cannot give more points on cleanliness. I don't know how much English is spoken and I'm not sure how many tips staff can give about the surrounding sights. We asked if it was possible to get to the Xilamuren grasslands by public bus and the receptionist told us it wasn't. It is though, you can take a long distance bus to Zhaohe from the long distance bus station. We didn't ask for any more directions afterwards...

來呼倫貝爾旅行第三天，住到了性價比超高的青旅。從海拉爾坐客車到額爾古納客運站，老闆特意開車來接。青旅離額爾古納濕地不遠，步行十幾分鍾就到。老闆一家特別熱情，詳細給我介紹周邊景點和交通訊息。 晚上和老闆在吧枱小酌，老闆非常熱情，是位資深背包客，住過許多青旅後，把自己的想法打造成了這家店。店裡的設施和裝修都是親手打造，床品乾淨舒適，洗浴設施也很齊全，還有一次性床品售賣，考慮的十分周到。六月的額爾古納早晚挺涼，浴室裏還配有暖風和吹風機。公共洗衣機很乾凈，加上北方乾燥的天氣，衣服晾一晚就幹了。 在額爾古納打卡了鐵山冷飲，老闆家的俄式列巴尤其值得一試！退房前正好趕上列巴出爐，搭配西米丹和老闆熬的果醬吃了一整個。聽説是跟當地俄羅斯族大娘學的手藝，配料純粹沒有防腐劑，好多外地客人都專門訂購。入住時看見老闆在收拾木刻楞旁的小院，院裏種着玫瑰和櫻桃樹，看得出花了不少心思。 這次入住體驗特別舒服，服務周到又貼心，感受到了青旅特有的魅力，祝老闆生意興隆！

A very good youth hostel. It is located in a community and is as comfortable as home. The public space is very large. There is a living room, a dining table, a kitchen, a sofa, a TV, a refrigerator and a washing machine. The facilities are very complete. Everyone is very nice (forgot I took some pictures of the place and will post some travel pictures)

The location of the Youth Hostel is very good, opposite the wide alley, the proprietress sister is very gentle, the room is very clean, the bathroom is small but everything is complete, very clean and tidy, no smell, the atmosphere of the Youth Hostel is particularly good, everyone is a werewolf to kill, play mahjong, In the Mid-Autumn Festival, the boss also organized a hot pot. Everyone from Tiannanhaibei was really happy to get together. The boss would also organize a chartered car to go to the desert and go to the grassland. I, a person who never commented on others, wanted to give a good review for this youth travel. I will brush this youth travel two and three times. Friends, we have a chance to see you!

At 12 o'clock, the proprietress had not slept yet, and arranged a upper bunk. Because it was late, it was not easy to disturb others. After washing up, I climbed up and found that there was no pillow and I didn't ask for it anymore. I only saw that the quilt was so dirty in the morning, I even used it as a pillow for one night! The baby put on the small shelf above is all gray, and the bedside is also gray! Probably never cleaned! Many long-term tenants. One room and one room are connected. Unlike the youth hostels I have lived elsewhere before. There is no youth hostel atmosphere, like a temporary rental apartment.
