What a great spot to call home for a few days in the Yangshuo area. The rooms are clean and cozy (we stayed in the new part of the hostel, so I can't speak for the original rooms) with a fantastic view of the mountains from our 3rd floor windows. The coffee was excellent (although you can't order it until... More

We stayed in the 'new' building and the room was clean and the bathroom clean and modern. Good location in a quaint town. We were keen for a woodfired pizza but the cook was unfortunately AWOL... Handy clothes washing facilities - washing machine and dryer available for use for a small charge.

There wasn't really any hot water for the shower which was bad since it was quite cold at this time of year. There was lots of Mosquitos but they provided repellent which was very... More

An underwhelming welcome at reception, an outdoor sink and poorly maintained rental bikes were the negatives. Movie show, quality pizza (at a price), other nice guests in the common area were the positives.

One of my favourite hostels in China - has a great vibe and atmosphere. The room is value for money, although as another reviewer mentioned, shared bathrooms at the rooftop in the middle of January was quite...interesting. If I had any complains at all it was the directions provided by the hostel. It says walk about 500m on the road... More
