Hostels in Hunan, China

I saw a lot of comments saying the location was a bit out of the way. But seriously, is it possible that when they were choosing a spot for the Changsha branch, they just couldn't find a suitable property to rent in Wuyi Square? There aren't many hostels of this size in Changsha that can operate as accommodation and pass fire safety inspections. After careful comparison, they chose the current location. As for people complaining about the front desk service, honestly, they just need to complete basic reception, replies, and have basic etiquette. Don't ask for too much. Their salaries aren't high. If you want great service, just tip them a red packet every time. If you pay enough, they'll break all the glass for you. If you transfer 10,000 every time, you'll see the front desk will serve you so well they'll even usher you out personally! And then there are those clean freaks complaining about hygiene. Honestly, as long as your bed in the room is clean, that's enough. Don't have extra demands. Think about how much you paid to book the room. If you're going to pick nits with a magnifying glass, then no hotel in the world is clean! Even the Four Seasons, Capella, Mandarin Oriental, Shanghai Bulgari, Shanghai Peace Hotel, and Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel suites have hygiene issues; it's unavoidable. If you're going to fuss about these things, you're just living too tiredly. Also, these types of hostels abroad mainly offer cheap accommodation for travelers. Only in China will they spoil you like this. In Japan, you'd be checked out by 10 AM, kicked out. If you complain there, they'll kick you out that day, simply because they have the right not to serve guests who don't follow their rules. The hygiene really isn't a problem. I don't think it's any less clean than an All Seasons or Hanting. As for the bathroom, with people constantly going in and out 24 hours a day, the cleaning staff can't clean it every single time someone uses the toilet. The aunties are earning 3,000 a month, not 30,000. You're paying 50 yuan a night for a hostel, not 5,000 or 50,000. Don't make such a big deal out of it. Instead of fussing over these things, go make more money so you don't have to stay in hostels and can stay in a hotel, then you won't have these problems. Think about how much you paid! It's like some people who book a special offer or carpool and then tell the driver to go faster. Why didn't you just book a private car in the first place? Because you know it's expensive, so you didn't. If you dislike hostels, why do you stay in them? Why not stay in a hotel? Isn't it essentially because you don't have money? If you don't have money, then shut up!

This is another hidden gem of a hostel! It's right by the river, perfect for walks and enjoying the breeze on your way to the old town, which has plenty of pubs but isn't too noisy. The owner is super nice, always organizing tea parties and chatting with guests from all over the world. The rooms are great too, with really comfortable mattresses, and it's spotlessly clean. The owner is truly, truly amazing – so patient with organizing activities, recommending food, and helping plan fun itineraries. If you're coming to the old town, this is absolutely the best place to stay – a must-visit in Fenghuang!

Staffs wonderful ! The women at the reception help me to booked the ticket for the Zhangjiajie National forest park. They also have map where they explain to you the best route to take day per day depending of how many time you are visiting the park and the program was very great. The hostel have a pool and they are doing a lot of karaoke on the evening. This place is very international with a lot of people from every where. Location very good at 10 min walk from the east entrance of the park.

An unexpected hostel gem! The location is superb, just a 5-minute walk to the subway station, surrounded by amazing food streets and attractions. After a long day of exploring, you can still enjoy a late-night snack. The beds are clean and comfy, equipped with privacy curtains, charging ports, and nightlights. The lockers with locks offer complete peace of mind. The common areas are spotless, with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Thoughtful details like Dyson hairdryers are a huge plus. The front desk staff are incredibly friendly, treating you like old friends. This place is truly the king of value for money, offering location, social interaction, and convenience all for under a hundred yuan. A real treasure trove for backpackers. The guests here are also really nice, especially the guy in the picture who keeps buying cigarettes and betel nuts for everyone. If you run out, you can just ask him for some.

I was the only one there in the low season and I was made to feel so welcomed. The owner really might be the sweetest woman in town. She was patient with using the translator and all of my random questions trying to get some things ready for the road. I showed up on bicycle and she let me keep it inside. I definitely recommend to anyone passing through. It's simple, the water is hot, the room clean and there is air conditioning. Thank you!

The hostel was pretty quiet, located down a small alley amidst older residential buildings. The front desk staff were decent. However, I absolutely detest the hostel owner. He was often around and incredibly rude to me. One time, I was going in and out of the hostel (I'd done it about ten or fifteen times already) and left the door open a couple of times, even though the AC was on. He was sitting nearby and snapped at me, 'Close the door!' His tone was really off-putting. At the time, I had no idea he was the owner. The next day, he had an issue with my travel companion, then pointed at me and called me ill-mannered, saying he had 'put up with me for a long time.' I asked him why he didn't just tell me to close the door the first few times if it was such a big deal. He retorted, 'You have no manners, do I really need to remind you about something like that?' Then he complained about my belongings being all over the place, but many long-term guests in the hostel weren't exactly tidy either. He seemed to specifically target us students for criticism. Looking back, it still makes me furious.

The hygiene is average. The kitchen and toilet are a bit dirty. There is one toilet for each person, which is a bit difficult to use. You have to go downstairs. The dog is very nice and welcoming.

Very cute and helpful welcome message! The place is a long bus ride from ZJJ-West, walking distance from Tianmen Mountain entrance and ZJJ central bus station where buses to ZJJ national park depart [though I'd recommend staying in Wulingyuan if you are visiting the ZJJ national parks]. Bathroom has toilet paper but no soap. Hot water after a while. The heater blows directly on the top bunk, while the lower bunk and the room itself stay very cold. The blankets are warm. Restaurants are nearby.

It has everything you need and the boss is nice. I will come again next time.

The youth travel found temporarily during the concert is a bit small in literary style. The boss on the big balcony has planted a lot of flowers and plants. I like the most that there is a puppy in the store called egg yolk, I like to touch super obedient! Super cute!
