According to the rate it’s an amazing, Very Safe, Staff are so professional & Helpful, they do always their best from the first second with a big smile and during 24hr. Much better than other hostel as We***w. Showers & shampoo& Conditioner are outstanding. If like to be close to the hostel life & action stay in ground floor , for quite rooms in the top floors . They have nice coffee with good price. Many shops close by. Ground floor bathroom needs more care as has a lot of traffics.

The staff was very good. The room was modern, clean and light. Check in was 3 hours earlier than it should be. Also they allowed us to keep our baggage after we checked out till the evening without extra charge. On the first floor there are 3 china cafes. The cat was cute.

Perfect location: The hotel is right next to Nanjing West Metro Station (Line 2, Exit 4) and not so far from Line 13 entrance. It also locates between Wujang St and Maoming St which have a handful of cafes and food stores. Friendly staff: Eventhough the local staff cannot speak EL much but they are absolutely helpful, so don't hesitate to ask for help. Big and nice space in front of the front desk: You can enjoy your food/drink or work or study at the tables there since food/drink is prohibted to bring into bedrooms.

Amazing! One of the best hostels I've ever stayed (I've in so many, trust me!). Interior design is jaw dropping (Japanese style), location is convenient, beds are so comfy, they give you towel and so many toiletries, all the fixtures are very premium. Complementary drinks during night and a very good and varied breakfast as well. Staff very helpful and friendly always worrying about you feeling comfy. Summarizing, it feels like a boutique hotel, you must stay and thank me later!

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.
