AArtur HurynThis is a very large hostel with very good service. The staff greets you with a smile at the counter; the girl at the reception, although she did not speak English, said a prepared phrase after registration: âFollow my colleague, he will show you around the hostel.â That is, they clearly worked with the staff!
The young man really showed me around the building: showed me the room, toilet, bathroom, recreation areas.
The hostel is well thought out: already at the entrance, near the elevator, there are a large number of small cells for shoes and change of slippers - that is, you come in from the street, change your shoes, and walk around everywhere in clean flip-flops.
The hostel's hygiene is also at a very high level - very clean.
The bathrooms are a separate room. The toilets are separate rooms (and toilets, not holes in the floor). As I understand it, there is a separation for both women's toilets/showers and men's. I would like to point out one more detail that I remember and that was not in other hostels of a similar level and scale: when you enter the shower and close the door, you hang your things and a towel on the hooks on the door. But often, in other hostels, things and a towel got wet because of this. Here, they took this into account and hung an additional thick curtain between the door and the shower. Very cool!
As for bathroom accessories, they also have everything: toilet paper, shampoo, body gel, soap, towel.
I also really remember the organization of public areas: there is a quiet place (something like a library), where you can sit, read or just relax in silence; near the reception there is a large screen for watching movies (and people really sat together and watched); there is a pool table (a very popular place - no matter how often I passed, there was always a game there); and, my love - the roof. The roof, where there are umbrellas, green carpet and chairs with tables where you can sit, eat, relax and in the evening, when the lights come on, unwind. Very cozy.
Unfortunately, I couldn't fully enjoy all the order and organization of the hostel, since I chose this place because of its proximity to the station and the price, and before that I stayed closer to the Grottoes, but the hostel is clearly VERY GOOD!
And, by the way, I'll note that you don't have to do what I did: look for accommodation closer to the Grottoes so that they are within walking distance. Bus 81 runs from the hostel. I think it runs until 8 pm. That is, arriving at the Grottoes by 5 pm will not be a problem (well, and if you stay in the Grottoes until the evening, for example, until 9-10, a taxi will not be too expensive. In any case, you will pay more for a private room near the Grottoes).
Overall, if I had planned to stay in Luoyang longer, I would have chosen this place for a longer stay. It is a social, well-organized hostel, where you can find everything you need.
Unfortunately, there is only one photo of the hostel itself - the rooftop, but what a place)
