Forever Young Youth Hostel

I can't say how good the location is overall, since I ended up not spending any time in Changsha except sleeping - it looked like the hostel was close to a lively walking street, but the hostel itself is in a quiet alley. While it was okay getting there, the hostel was a bit tricky to find, and arriving alone in the late evening was not very comfortable for a female travelers, since you have to pass through a dark and narrow alley. The room was okay, expected for the price, but the mattress was hard as bricks so I couldn't sleep well, it was too uncomfortable. The lockers for personal items had no lock (or if there was a way to lock the staff didn't tell me), so nowhere to store personal items, making the place unsuitable for a longer stay. Bathroom has only one sink, one shower and one toilet to be shared between 2 dorms, so the bathroom was not clean when I arrived at night and everywhere was wet, which was very uncomfortable.

The environment is good and the hostel is not far from the city. Very easy to go around and visit shops, museums and orange island. Also you got the opportunity to make friends.

A very friendly place to stay if you are an old traveller.

Awesome stay!! Best hostel in Changsha, close to everything, and in a very cozy area. Recommended

I would definitely stay here again! The ac is amazing, and the staff is helpful. Laundry is available for very cheap. The location is great— easy to get to everywhere by bus or train and many good restaurants and shopping in walking distance. I was also able to make some friend in the area and from the hostel :) I ended up having a change in travel plans and preferred to stay here an extra night as opposed to somewhere else or get to my next destination early!

Great hostel, friendly people and very welcoming to foreigners too!
