I saw the reviews and almost didn't give this place a chance but eventually decided to go anyway, and I'm glad I did. The hostel is nothing like what the bad reviews say. The rooms were tidy, the linens were clean, and the best were comfortable. The rooms had AC and privacy curtains. I'm really not sure what some people expect from a cheap youth hostel because as far as hostels go across Asia, this one was decent.

It's a little tricky to find, you have to go down Pan Tao road until you hit an easily missable side street, but if you put the Chinese address into amaps, it'll lead you right here.

Good location and friendly staff he help to provide more info which I can't get in map.

I cancelled two nights and got full refund, thank you.

Toilet flush not working Not clean in general Bed sheet not changed A closing down vibe...

Great location.

Room was not clean, particularly the bathroom.

Unfortunately there were more negatives than positives about this stay. To start with the good, the only things was that the location was reasonably okay, and scooter hire from the reception was easy.

The negatives is quite a large list. It starts off with being difficult to find, being located behind a backstreet with no obvious signing. The location on maps is not completely accurate which makes some confusion. Next, there is no professionalism to the staying in this location. The man that manages the hotel basically lives in the reception with personal belongings scattered everywhere, rubbish everywhere and its a dark and univiting environment in general. The wifi doesn't work above the second floor which is very inconvenient. The english of the manager is not very good which makes it hard to communicate.

Nothing except the close proximity to West Street.

Where to start. The lobby area was a mess and full of the owners personal belongings so nowhere to sit downstairs. The rooms were horrible and our bed sheets had brown stains on them - when we asked for new ones we either had to change rooms or put the new sheet on ourself. Then we found out the towels were also dirty after unfolding them - when the boss asked the cleaner to get a new one she said we don’t have any more and said she’s off work now so she can’t do it - then we were told the towels didn’t even belong to the hotel lol. Anyway we did manage to get new ones. Booking.com states Mountain View and cable tv neither of which were true. If you want to experience what staying in a brothel feels like I’d recommend staying here. But seriously for the price you pay you can find much much better hotels than this hostel in Yangshuo and that’s exactly what we did. Credit to the boss he did try to help us with the sheets and towels problems and also only charged us for one night since we checked out a day early. Only detailing this review because I don’t want other travelers to get ripped off by this terrible hostel - don’t trust the booking.com review it’s very inaccurate.
