Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Luca really makes this place - he is incredibly helpful and suggested an itinerary that allowed me to see Yangshou and Xingpeng in a day given I had three days in Guilin and assisted with my bookings. The hostel also has a bar, which is ideal to meet other travellers. Happy I stayed here.

    I really like the owner - Luka, and his employee - Lucy. They both speak English fluently and they are very helpful. Hostel is very cheap and located not far from the main attractions. I spent 3 nights in a dorm and I like it. Beds have curtains, so it is easy to separate from others if needed to fall asleep earlier.

    After 1 month in China this was the best Hostel yet. Good Location near the elephant Trunk Hill and a nice breakfast for a small fee. The Coffee and Beer selection was especially extraordinary. The staff helped me with booking Several Tours and showed me around the City.
