I stayed in the 6 bed dorm room for 6 nights in June 2016. The hostel was in a good location, close to the subway station and in an area with lots of local street food options. Extremely helpful staff! Reasonably good English spoken, and those who could not understand you made a big effort to either make themselves understood or call someone who spoke English. Kane, my main correspondent, was extremely helpful beforehand, answering all my questions per email. He also helped me get hold of a SIM card on arrival and wrote down the names of any places I wanted to get to in Chinese. The dorm rooms were clean and reasonable spacious, with much appreciated aircon and wifi! From what I heard from other travels, the room rates were very good for what we were getting. The courtyard area was a huge plus, nice place to hang out and meet new people. From my room, on the far end of the second floor, it was a fairly long walk to the bathroom, which ended up being very nice, as none of the hairdryer and late night shower noises (experienced in other hostels) can be heard. The room did have a window on the main road through which some traffic noise could be heard, but nothing loud enough to stop sleep. The bathrooms themselves were also clean and of course the western toilets were appreciated! The perfect hostel...I stayed in the 6 bed dorm room for 6 nights in June 2016.

The perfect hostel for me, as it was a great place to meet and talk to other travels without having the loud drunken parties and late night noise.More
