Xidu International Youth Hostel

Good value hotel, not expensive, located near the entrance of Changpinggou, on a hill, near the hotel there are many restaurants. The room is not very big but has complete facilities, there is a heater, the bed is soft and comfortable.

Booked for 4 nights First night we got a room on third floor, traditional toilet, dirty room with dust, hot water didn't work well, heater was taking time to warm up, electric blanket was ok. The next day we asked for a new room. We got a second-floor room with modern toilet. The room was better, hot water work fine. The room still look old and dirty. The wall color was peeling off and was covered by a snooker player poster. The blue-ish towel looks and smells old. The common area looks dark and not inviting to hang around. The staff was not able to speak English, and wasn't well to use language translating tool. They were friendly but not helpful on some hotel duty such as they didn't have service to call taxi for a customer. Hostel location was walking distance from tourism center, restaurants street. A bit of walking uphill to the hostel.
