There was a dog and so everything smelled like dog

It was central and very sociable, good for solo travelers.

A bit of a walk from the subway. It's not that bad, but if visiting in summer the walk can get very hot. Odd pavement, not recommended for those with difficulty walking.

Perfect hostel, friendly staff, lots of beer available. Everything was clean. They also have some events and a place for live music. Right in one of the main scenic spots, so you don't have to go far for some evening tourist walks.

Difficult to find. The online maps place it in different locations depending on the app you use. It’s best to search on line for Shancheng lane and mati street if your google map works and it’s located above the tea house called Chagee right at the neighborhood hilly entrance.

Excellent location in a historical neighborhood, close to the metro station, easy to move around the city by subway or busses and very comfortable beds

Washrooms could be cleaned more often.

The bed is very comfortable with sheets and towel. The property is located in really nice building in the middle of mountain city alley.

Maybe slightly more help with location, beyond subway directions, as you are a bit tucked away. I didn't get lost but I can understand how people could

I loved the location, near the mountain trail and it was fairly easy to find. Also, nice and central only a 20 min walk from the city centre with very good subway connections. Staff were all lovely and seemed like a close community, they had an open mic night. Drinks are very tasty, but cocktails are strong (can't complain as a Scottish person).

I felt the showers could have been cleaner and the washing machines caused flooding the toilets. I got a little lost when I arrived and I think just adding a little more detail that the hostel is up the stairs and next to the Chagee would be helpful - the sign to the hostel is hard to spot initially and the map will drop you at the road and its not clear from the instructions you need to walk up the stairs to find the hostel.

The staff were really lovely and helpful and I liked the social area, which had lots of space. My bed was comfy and liked that we got a bottle of water given each day and a towel. Quite liked the location and near to the metro station but also not too far from the centre of town.

In woman toilets seems to be abit of a wait for stuff as there’s not enough sinks, mirrors and toliets for the girls

Great staff and great environment. If your a solo traveller I would highly recommend very easy to meet new travellers and great social area upstairs. Rooms are clean and well organised and beds are comfortable.

The majority of the tours they advertise are not currently operating and only operate once a year during spring festival and they were unable to offer paid alternatives.

The hostel was clean and comfortable, close to the metro. Staff were helpful and good at recommending places to see and to eat.

My third stay with Desti in this trip, exceptional hostel that provide super thick towels and a bottle of mineral water for each day of stay. The branch has the best hostel vibe, with chessboard and board games available and also pool table to mingle around. Staff is also exceptional, allowing me to take shower at the night after checkout and even gave me a fresh towel for that.

The bathrooms were, most of the time quite messy. Either clogged toilets or dirty sinks but it’s mostly on the people using them who just were leaving mess behind. The internet, at least for me, was quite patchy.

The property is great. I really like the building and common spaces. The bed was comfy. There are plugs and towels and a small safe locker provided. The location is close to the metro station and walking distance from attractions and good food places.

Very good experience and the staff is very accommodating. A big shout out to the two girls staff at front desk during daytime (sorry forgot their names); they were very helpful, accommodating and went beyond their call of duties. Thanks very much

The staff is very good and helpful, the common room is large, stylish and comfortable with different sitting options. I had a great hotpot diner organized by the staff. Rooms were comfy and quiet, separate showers and bathroom very clean. The hotel is located downhill of a very nice and interesting part of the city, just before the district with old houses and lots of shops/cafes. I wasn't t expecting it but it is such a good surprise. Over all I had a great stat
