A great budget-friendly stay in Zhangye! We had a private twin room. The room was simple but cute, with rather hard Asian-style beds (which was fine for us). It's very central and surrounded by food spots and shops. Loved the traveler vibe here; easy to meet friends. The hostel organizes affordable, well-planned tours, and the English-speaking staff were super helpful. Highly recommend for backpackers!

Great hostel and great excursions. Spacious and clean rooms but toilets could be more clean (personnel was always trying to keep it clean so I think it was because of other guests). You can use the fridge and microwave for free, to that was a plus :). The staff were always available if we needed anything and always tried to help. They give you great local recommendations for food. I would come back for sure! See you!

Best choise for solo travellers. Rooms and bathrooms are clean. They offer vans to the main attractions in Zhangye. I went to daxia and the canyon and had a great time, good way to connect with other travelers. Location of the hostel is good for grabbing food.

The staff were super nice and friendly. The location is amazing—it’s easy to walk to all the famous spots and shopping malls. The only downside is that the bed was the hardest I’ve ever slept on… haha. But anyway, thanks for everything!

Excellent place to stay. The people are very nice. Great value for money as well.  We had a room for three for the family and it was exactly what we needed.

It's a nice youth hostel, we arrived in the middle of the night amd we had someone who works the night shift who was really nice. They offer great tours to the main attraction around Zhangye, very comfortable and well organized.

Overall I enjoyed my stay at the hostel. Its just too bad that nobody told me that I had to buy toilet paper. Also it's not allowed to take a shower after midnight. The staff was friendly and helpful. The common area quite cosy. The upper bed of the bunk bed I had was not really convenient. I didn't have my own lamp (like the other beds) and I would wake up everytime someone would turn up the main light. I would recommend to ask for the lower bunk. The location is good. Walking distance to the main attractions in the city center. I would still recommend this hostel :)

Amazing stay. Did not expect the bog sign in Chinese and English outside, making ot easy to find. Also lots of tour options from the hotel itself which were great and a free shuttle was even offered back to the train station when I left. Best hostel yet!
