- Avg. price/night: CNY 881.17Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very good - What previous guests thought, 3,452 reviewsProbably one of the best hostel vibes I’ve experienced. Great location, within walking distance to many attractions. The train station, light rail and buses are also close. I liked the various daily social activities the hostel provided and the free breakfast. The dining area is also a great way to meet people and is always lively. Bunk beds are quite big ( much bigger than standard) with curtains, charger and lamp.Guest review bySarahSolo traveller
