Guilin Hostels

"This hostel absolutely deserves five stars! The location is fantastic; there's a bus stop right outside, making it super convenient to get to attractions and shopping areas. The common areas are clean and tidy, with cozy and stylish decor. It's really comfortable to chat with friends or read there in the evenings. The owner and other guests are super friendly and enthusiastic; they'll recommend authentic local food and off-the-beaten-path activities, and we even had great conversations. The owner even took photos for us – they're quite good and it was such a heartwarming gesture! Plus, there's an adorable chubby little dog. The beds are comfortable, with just the right firmness in the mattress, and the blankets are clean and odor-free. The soundproofing is also good, ensuring a great night's sleep. The washrooms and toilets are cleaned daily, and hot water is available 24/7, which is more than enough. It offers incredible value for money, and staying here feels just like being at home. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit!"

"one of the best hostels I've stayed in so far! staff was kind and helpful, organizing dinners and activities! the position is quite good too, just a minute from the bus stop! everything was clean. the animals were so cute too!"

"Honestly, I was quite disappointed. Based on the photos, the common area looks great: bright, welcoming, with what seems to be a nice social space and a beautiful bar. In reality, when you arrive, you realize that this is just the reception, and it doesn’t look the same at all. It feels like the photos were heavily edited or filtered. There is no bar on the right side as shown; instead, there was a guy sitting at the reception with all his personal belongings, watching TV. There are no bar chairs, no real common space, and no area designed to meet people, which is one of the main reasons for staying in a hostel. I was traveling solo, and I ended up paying more than I would have paid in another hotel, for a lower-quality room and with no pleasant common space or bar at all. On top of that, a guy from the reception entered my room without warning, without knocking, and woke me up during the morning. He was lost and thought I was supposed to check out that day, which was incorrect. He didn’t apologize or warn me before entering. There was no proper heating or air conditioning. Either it was not available or it was turned off to save energy or money, but the room was very cold. My room had no window, and most of the rooms don’t have windows either. Overall, for the price, I was really disappointed."

"This hostel deserves five stars! The location is fantastic – right outside the high-speed rail station, making it incredibly convenient to get to attractions and business districts. It's not in the bustling city center, so it's very quiet. The common areas are clean and tidy, with separate sections for male and female guests. The public space is large, and the decor is cozy and stylish. It's super comfortable for chatting with friends or reading in the evening. Plus, there are adorable cats! Playing with them was so much fun. The owner and staff are warm and thoughtful. After a hike, I was running late to pick up my luggage from storage and head to the high-speed rail station, so I just rested on the sofa. The owner even brought me a blanket, saying I could lie down and cover up to avoid catching a cold since I was traveling. That was so heartwarming! The bunk beds are comfy, the mattresses are just right (not too hard, not too soft), and the blankets are clean and odor-free. The soundproofing is also good, ensuring a great night's sleep. The washrooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily, and hot water is available 24/7, which is perfectly sufficient! It offers amazing value for money, and I felt as comfortable as if I were at home. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next visit!"

"The environment of the store is very nice, warm and clean. I originally planned to stay for two nights, but after arriving, I stayed until the end of the trip. I planned to use this as a base for activities in the surrounding areas. Here are some good places where I felt good: 1. The store is not difficult to find. I arrived at three in the morning and took a taxi downstairs. It was easy to find it according to the instructions. 2. It is very close to the scenic spots. Elephant Trunk Hill and Sun and Moon Twin Towers are on the same road. It takes about ten minutes to navigate from where I live. If you walk slowly, it will be counted. In the other direction is East-West Lane, which is really convenient 3. It is located in the business district, with many large supermarkets, and it is very convenient to buy things"

"This is the second youth travel I have come to Guilin. I have been selected according to the high score. I didn’t expect this to be a treasure youth travel. The living room and balcony are oversized. The balcony also has a stone double sink. It is very convenient to wash and dry clothes. The bed is not tide at all. This is too friendly to me, a northerner. And the passenger flow is very large, see the boss sister, the bed check out seriously disinfected, there is no luxurious decoration and strong fake feelings photos here, there is a real comfortable and real stay experience, really serious boss sister, let me come back from resource county later did not book a ticket, I lived here again and transferred. Thank you for the beautiful encounter during the trip. I came back for a lot of days and remembered to evaluate it. I shared it with my friends who went to Guilin. Unfortunately, I didn’t expect the evaluation at that time. I didn’t take pictures."

"Even during our stay we never saw anybody in reception, they managed to leave us a lovely paper note written in english with our key, that was a very cute detail from them. Most of everything is self service and you pay with wechat if you need a bier o whatever. The cleaning is ok, it needs more deep cleaning but is ok. As other similar hotels in this city, the smell to cigarrete in the room is there sticked to everything. Free towels in the reception (you will need to translate it to realise of it) The air con of our room was working sometimes. just 100 m away you can take a direct bus to the north station. If you dont know how to read chinese, The entrance was quite diffiicult to find it. Just go to the end of the halley and then turn right."

"The first time I stayed in a youth hostel, objective evaluation, no praise. The hostel is located on the top floor of the commercial and residential building. The duplex structure has a total of 4 floors, with a terrace for drying clothes, and a washing machine (2 yuan per time). The two rooms I booked are on the 2nd floor. One has large windows, better lighting and ventilation, and the other is more depressed. The room has its own bathroom, the facilities are general, the socket is insufficient, the light is dark, and the bedding is clean. Self-driving can park the car in the basement, spend 30 yuan overnight, charge by the hour during the day, and park on the parking space marked with operating parking spaces, there are not many locations. This time I stayed for two nights, combined with the moving price, the recommendation is not high and it is a temporary transition for people to stay."

"Perfect for a dee nights the environment is comfortable and cozy even when in rainy season! The receptionist is super nice and although she is not there all the time you can contact her easily vía WeChat! Amazing stay!"

"The last two pictures are of the Youth Hostel. The first one is on the seventh floor with stairs. Those with big boxes should be careful. The takeaway guy actually brought the rice noodles I ordered to me. It might be the off-season. I was the only one in the whole Youth Hostel and didn't see the boss. Guilin is still very fun. I couldn't finish three taels of Guilin rice noodles for 6 yuan. I was so full. The 8.9 yuan I ordered for the two dishes at Pinhao Fan was delicious. The price was reasonable. The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas and Elephant Trunk Hill were also very nice. After playing for a day, I went to Yangshuo. The prices there were much more expensive than in Guilin. This restaurant has a lot of graffiti and is very sentimental. I will come again, but I am a little scared to be alone."
