Hostels in Zhejiang, China

The environment and atmosphere here, along with the people, are fantastic. Even traveling alone, you won't fear loneliness. There's an activity group where you can find buddies to organize outings, go out for food and drinks, do night cycling, or even play Werewolf downstairs. Perhaps because it's a youth hostel, a gathering place for young people and travelers, everyone is so enthusiastic! As long as you're willing to speak up and interact, everyone will welcome you. It's just that I'm quite introverted and prefer quiet solitude; my social battery is low, so I don't really talk to them, haha.

The Yujintai Youth Hostel is right next to the subway station, so you don't have to walk far to get around. I stayed on a high floor and had a great view of the river, which was lovely. The hygiene was good – the sheets and bedding were clean, and the restrooms and showers were always tidy with hot water available at all times. It's also convenient for food, with convenience stores and small restaurants nearby. Overall, it's not a luxurious place, but it's great value for money, hassle-free, and clean, making for a comfortable stay. It's perfect for anyone visiting Hangzhou for leisure or business.

This was the first hostel I stayed at in Hangzhou, and it's located near Wensan Road subway station, making transportation very convenient. It's right by Huanglong Times Square, with plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby. It's also very close to West Lake, and there are lots of shared bikes around. The hostel walls even have tips for exploring West Lake, along with cherished memories left by past guests. As for the accommodations, they offer blackout curtains, complimentary disposable toothbrushes and towels. The bathroom and shower are separated into wet and dry areas, but both are in the same public space for men and women. In the lobby, there's a free water dispenser with 24-hour hot water, and you'll even find cats and dogs hanging out there.

The location is pretty good, close to West Lake and the subway station, making it easy to find. There's a 'Xiaohongche' (shared bike station) right downstairs at the entrance. Floors 8-10 all belong to the same establishment, with the front desk on the 9th floor. Floors 8 and 9 are for accommodation, and the 10th floor is for recreational activities. It would be better if the male and female dorms were on separate floors, as currently, there are both male and female dorms on the same floor.

These words instantly reminded me of the gentle moonlight embracing me, the soft, warm girls sitting in a row, my roommate's neatly organized toiletries, and a display of cosmetics. It's just like being at school. The taxi driver overcharged a bit, but on the way, I first encountered a hotel, and then the supermarket was very welcoming. This is my fourth time in Hangzhou. I originally planned to spend a day circling West Lake and then leave, but this wonderful hostel makes me want to stay another day! They provide disinfected towels and individually packed slippers in plastic bags – so thoughtful! Plus, a complimentary bottle of water (a precious commodity in the summer heat). Upon entering, I was greeted by a gentle, smiling young man. I finally recall his smile, it felt like it seeped into me, gently crushing the few withered leaves within. Turning a corner, I saw soft, warm girls (not as formidable as Fu Hao) sitting in a row, their cheeks slightly flushed – a sight you don't see in other hostels. ”To the person in charge, can you assign me a partner?”

Located in the West Lake Scenic Area, close to Tiger Run. The public area is quite large, with a courtyard.

Close to the station, more convenient

My first time trying a hostel was a wonderful surprise! The environment was clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere created by the owner was fantastic. Upon arrival, the owner introduced the sights, helped plan our itinerary, and even recommended restaurants – the food was delicious! 😋 In the evening, they organized a movie screening. The big screen was amazing, and the owner's two little sisters were so cute! After the movie, we sat together to share our thoughts – a novel and fun experience. I also want to thank the owner for helping us with our interview assignment. Reflecting on the movie experience, while algorithms may influence hostel operations to some extent, I believe that such genuine and warm hospitality will surely be rewarded in the future. Wishing the owner continued success in their business! 🥳

I was really satisfied with the room; it offered great value for money. This guesthouse is quite unique, located within an ancient building. Best of all, there was no formaldehyde smell from renovations, which I'm very sensitive to. While it might be a bit old and small, the overall experience was excellent. They even have their own restaurant, which hosts events every night at 9 PM, like movie screenings, dancing, and releasing river lanterns. The value here is truly unbeatable. Plus, the location is superb – just a 3-minute walk to Lu Xun's Former Residence, right within the scenic area. Highly recommend it, it's really good!

The service was excellent!!! The front desk lady was very considerate and attentive assisting me even before arriving. Later, she promptly helped me on how to get transportation for different sightseeings in Hangzhou, facilitating my stay. The night attendant (a young boy) was also helpful and approachable. The hostel ´s location is just 2-minute walk from a 7-Eleven for essentials and a 5-minute walk from the station. The common area is inviting, with many places to sit and relax, and a water dispenser. Also, the shared dormitory bathroom is very clean. I've enjoyed very much my stay at the hostel :)
