ZZhangmingruThe location is excellent in Cape. It is close to the long street and large supermarkets, so you don't have to walk. There is a bar downstairs. Although it is noisy, it is very safe. The service is very enthusiastic. Everyone is very enthusiastic. It is a good choice for me who is not very good at English. It is also very clean. The girl at the front desk enthusiastically guided me how to play in Zhoushan and Mong Kok. She was not tired of it. I stayed in this hotel for six nights and felt very happy and made a lot of friends. 🥳

GGottschalkFantastic hostel. Felt like the very best in Southeast Asia. Huge common room (with VHS selection! Hah). Good bar on premises, and just a cool, chill, communal vibe. Don’t expect much else, and it’s a bit of a walk to the beach (like 5 minutes, not much) but for a good surf hostel it’s great.

GGuest UserОтличное месторасположение. Тихий район, до продуктовых магазинов 500 метров. Набережная в 30 минутах ходьбы. Удобно, что есть кухня, где можно приготовить пищу. Внутренний дворик располагает для приема пищи. В гостиницу бесконтактное заселение. Возле входной двери 10 коробочек, в которых спрятаны ключи от вашего номера. Сообщение с кодом приходит в день заезда не ранее 10-00. Достаточно удобно
