Dalian Hostels

"The room and bathroom were absolutely superb. The bathroom wasn't dirty at all. The rooms and the whole place were clean. I really liked the beds and the location—it was magnificent, no complaints. There's a Lawson Hotel right next door. As for the service, well, I can't really say anything about it because, well, they're Chinese, they're always in their own little world. Nothing extraordinary, really. The service was just average. That's all."

"I had a nice time in Lazy Bill's Hostel. The check-in counter staff were very patient even though we were communicating via a Translation app and even though I don't have a local number from a Chinese mobile network. Also, the coffee shop was located just inside the hostel and it was very convenient! The coffee was delicious. The staff were very serious when it comes to cleanliness. They cleaned the room where I stayed and they mop the room and clean the rest room every day. I could not say anything more. Will I stay here again? Definitely yes! They have a mini-convenience store inside the hostel for booze, juices and water. There were restaurants and bath houses in the area. There was also a nearby KFC! The only thing that had me worried was on my way back home because the station didn't have an escalator going down. I met a Chinese traveler of Korean descent and a local Chinese who speaks English. They were very kind. I wish to come back to Dalian and stay in Lazy Bill's Hostel once again."

"This is the first hotel I stayed in that has a hostel feel, rather than a cheap rental house or a fancy capsule hotel. The service and facilities are worth the price. Some of the shortcomings that are not as good as those of a star hotel (average sound insulation, light-transmitting curtains, slow draining of the floor drain) can be overcome (earplugs and eye masks take longer to wash), or in other words, they are not a problem at the cost of 64 per day. There is a Lawson nearby (open 24 hours), the nearest subway station is Xianggong Street, and there is a McDonald's to the south. Take the subway for 2 stops to Roosevelt Square, which is convenient for eating and shopping. The front desk is open from 7:30 to 23:00. The boss is a nice person and has three cats (Mocha, Xiaojiu and Erhei)."

"The staff waited for me to arrive because my flight arrived at 11:15 pm and I arrived at the capsule hotel at 12:15 am. The temperature of the capsule rooms were just right. I love the free access to the bathhouse. The bathing facility is really clean and well maintained. I regretted not getting body scrub and massage and I should have explored the capsule hotel more. I think there is also a restaurant in the higher floors. Just take note that the bathing facility is open from 8 am to 12 am only. The subway station is near as well. As a foreigner who cannot speak nor read Chinese, I am very happy that there’s a McDonalds nearby. There are also nearby marts and Chinese franchise restaurants. My stay was very short so I wasn’t able to discover the other restaurants nearby. I would definitely book here again and I love the keychain that they gave me. The staff were really kind. There were some minor difficulties, such as difficulty of finding electric sockets and inside the capsule, the port was a USB A socket, but there was a phone charging station outside the rooms."

"I absolutely love this hostel! The location is great, close to buses and subway stations, making it very convenient for getting around. It's clean and tidy overall, and the six-person female room is spacious and comfortable. The front desk lady was very nice and helpful, helping with my large suitcase. There's also a small pub downstairs where you can enjoy simple Japanese meals and drinks. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Dalian!"

"Overall it was great, the house was simple, there was no air conditioning, but there were fans inside so it was cool. There was a separate sink and table and chairs. The location was good, not too close to any scenic spot, more like a central location. The boss was also very polite and kind. (It is worth noting that you should be careful not to bump your head when sitting on the chair)"

"The first time I stayed in the Youth Hostel, I chose this one, the experience is great! The location is particularly good, very close to Xinghai Square and art museums, it is also convenient to go shopping in Xi'an Road business district, not far from the bus stop. The layout of the Youth Hostel is very careful. There is a cultural and creative sales area on the first floor. The study room is quiet and tidy, and the shared kitchen is too convenient. The accommodation area on the second floor, each bed has a separate curtain, privacy and convenience are taken care of, the public washing area has 24 hours hot water, and there is a public washing machine, which is perfect for people like me who want to play lightly."

"Seriously, climbing all those stairs was exhausting! Not recommended if you have a lot of luggage. The room itself was actually decent, not as run-down as I expected, though the curtain offered very little light-blocking. The mixed-gender shared bathroom was a bit awkward. The facilities were okay, but I didn't get a chance to use them. The male guests in the room opposite ours were incredibly inconsiderate, yelling and making a lot of noise late into the night. I'd definitely recommend bringing earplugs. The bed was incredibly hard and very uncomfortable to sleep on; it was barely tolerable. Otherwise, I have no major complaints. For the May Day holiday, the price was incredibly good value for money."

"This was my first time in Dalian, and this hostel was really great! I highly recommend it. The owner was very welcoming, the sheets and blankets were changed after each guest, and the rooms were clean, bright, and spacious. It was great value for money. There's a Lawson convenience store downstairs, and it's very close to Xinghai Square and Donggang. The subway station is only about 300 meters away. It's fantastic!"

"The lack of windows made it stuffy, and it was very hot in the summer without air conditioning. However, the price is very reasonable and the location is great, making it a great place to stay for a night or two in the spring or fall. The shower room was spacious and had good water pressure, making showering comfortable. However, in the summer, perhaps because of the heat, some guests would leave the door open while they were resting, and it was very uncomfortable to see them without their tops on every time they went to the bathroom. I wouldn't recommend this place for a repeat visit."
