I booked a bed in a 4-female dorm in July 2025. When checking in, they even upgraded my room to a double room shared with another female guest (of course they asked if I want that) and the room was amazing. It was very clean, beds were comfy and it even came with towels, Shampoo, shower gel,... Regarding the staff, they are able to speak chinese and English as far as I experienced and the are super friendly. Totally recommend staying there. The hostel has a beautiful and nice common area to play games, even play station or Computer games, but also has a nice terrasse to chill on. The location itself is also fantastic. It's a short strall away to the old ancient town which is beautiful to discover.

Had an amazing stay here and would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting the area. The service was truly exceptional — the lady at the front desk (凹小姐） was extremely friendly, warm, and went out of her way to ensure our comfort throughout our stay. She was always ready to offer help, and her genuine hospitality really made a difference. The rooms were modern, clean, and very comfortable — everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully prepared. On top of that, the location was fantastic — just a short walk to plenty of food places, which made it super convenient for us to grab meals anytime. Overall, it was a wonderful experience — great service, great location, and a very comfortable stay. I would definitely love to stay here again!

My family and I enjoyed the breakfast spread. In particular, we enjoyed the fact that they included some local fare. The hot noodles etc was nice for cold days. We also were so glad that the hotel was just across the train station. It was awesome as we arrived late on the train. I also want to commend the staff for locating the shirt that I had "lost" after putting it in the hotel's laundry machine. Thank you so much!
