It destroyed my good impression of youth hostels (I tried staying in Canberra and Christchurch for the first time and felt very good). It felt like a dormitory for illegal workers, and there was nothing except a very simple bed! The problem is that it cost nearly ¥900 per night! But the front desk staff was very good! 😄

It is relatively close to the city center and the beds are quite comfortable. However, there are many people during the peak tourist season. Some people have athlete's foot and the smell is not good. It depends on luck.

The experience is very bad. Don’t stay here. The public restrooms and bathrooms are all occupied by foreigners. They stay up until two or three o’clock in the middle of the night. It’s so noisy that I can’t sleep. Check out at 10 o’clock. At 9 o’clock, the aunt will clean the toilet and wait to leave. I couldn't even go to the bathroom, so I was speechless. I booked it in advance for more than 700 yuan, but the price was reduced by more than 500 yuan on the day. It was a scam every time.

On the whole not a terrible experience, the pricing was fair and facilities were good. The main criticism is that it’s a bit of a lottery with the bunk bed system…if you get a top bunk you’re chilling but if you get unlucky with the bottom you have all of about 30cm of vertical space. You have to hunch over to sit on the bed and can’t sit up higher than about a 45deg angle without smacking your head on the bunk above. I only stayed for 5 night so made do with it but I wouldn’t be happy if I stayed for a week+ with a bottom bunch when someone who payed the same price has a much better experience.
