跟正常酒店的房間一樣。想不到青旅還有這樣的房間。有公共廚房和付費洗衣間。位置也不錯，很小的城市，所以市中心的任何地方都可以步行到達。

J’ai été surpris de la réponse lorsque je suis allé demander que l’on me résolve mon problème avec le distributeur automatique de boissons et friandises !!
J’avais mis des pièces et la friandise n’est pas descendue …. La réponse le distributeur n’est pas à nous donc ce n’est pas notre problème… ok
Bon rapport qualité prix

I arrived outside of check-in hours, which I called in advance about. They give you a key via a lock, unfortunately the key did not work for my room. It was after midnight so I could not reach anyone via e-mail or phone. Eventuelly another guest helped me and directed me to the call for after hours help outside the gate. Then, they re-activated my key. It was resolved, but very stressful and annoying to a female solo traveller. Also no apologies or anything. I specifically called in advance to make sure check-in would still be possible and still this happens.
The directions to my specific room were also a bit unclear. There was a sign for room Numbers 100-200 but the sign for 300-400 was more hidden.
I booked a private room. Room was clean enough for a hostel and there is AC. Bed not great, bit lumpy, but fine for a hostel. Glad I only stayed one night (or half a night realistically).
Shower was okay.
Just arrive during check-in hours and you should be fine. It seems like a decent, clean hostel in a good central location. I am assuming that I just got unlucky with the key.

工作人員熱情有禮貌，知無不言，位置稍微有點遠。但是性價比已經很高了，衞生也乾淨，周圍氛圍都挺好。強推一下夜市的牛肉麪雖然肉不是很多，但是味道非常好，中國胃非常合適！
