Unfortunately we couldn't close the bathroom window and at the same time the aircon was loud as hell. For that price we had a lot better and cleaner places. We do appreciate the kind welcome message and the additional pillow we got when we asked for it. If you need a place close to the train station it is ideal, to the center part it is about half an hour by foot.

We stayed there three nights. They kindly upgraded our room to meet our request.
The owner helped us to unlock wechat.
The room has everything you need. There is: AC, Hot water, soap, toilet paper and a kettle.
Everything was clean and the common area was very cozy.
Close to the Guilin Railway Station and so very convenient for moving around.
For foreigners: it is not so easy to find considering that all the writing is in chinese. Ask the owner some more clarification.
Response from Property: 親!感謝您對我們服務的肯定和認可,能得到外國朋友的認可,我們是超級開心喔,關於您提的這一條建議:“對於外國人來説:考慮到所有的文字都是中文,要找到它並不容易。問主人更多的澄清”,我們覺得您的建議很好,我們將考慮在店裡設定更多的英文標識,更方便我們的外國朋友們喔

The staff was really nice. They wrote a handwritten letter and also upgraded my room. The location is good and the place is calm and chill. Don’t expect big luxuries but for backpackers it’s a perfect place to sleep.
Response from Property: Dear friends! We are delighted to serve foreign friends, and we feel very happy that our youth hostel has gained your recognition and approval. You and your friends are warmly welcome to visit Guilin again next time! 亲!我们很乐意为外国朋友们服务喔,我们很开心我们的青旅得到您的认可,欢迎您和您的朋友下一次还过来喔

As previous reviews said follow the alley all the way then turn right and up the stairs. Very good communication on WeChat for helping getting to the airport, I walked 15 minutes to the bus stop from here as an early flight but can get a bus from the train station just down the road a bit later.
Response from Property: 親,翻譯了,您是説“正如之前的評論所説,沿着小巷一直走,然後右轉,上樓梯。非常好的微信溝通,以幫助到達機場,我從這裏步行15分鐘到公共汽車站作為早班飛機,但可以從火車站坐公共汽車衹是在路上稍晚一點。”,我們很樂意為外國朋友服務,很多外國朋友也樂意選擇我們青旅,歡迎您及您的朋友還過來喔

Even during our stay we never saw anybody in reception, they managed to leave us a lovely paper note written in english with our key, that was a very cute detail from them.
Most of everything is self service and you pay with wechat if you need a bier o whatever.
The cleaning is ok, it needs more deep cleaning but is ok.
As other similar hotels in this city, the smell to cigarrete in the room is there sticked to everything.
Free towels in the reception (you will need to translate it to realise of it)
The air con of our room was working sometimes.
just 100 m away you can take a direct bus to the north station.
If you dont know how to read chinese, The entrance was quite diffiicult to find it. Just go to the end of the halley and then turn right.
Response from Property: Dear foreign friends, I understand. You mean: "During our stay, I saw no one at the reception. They managed to leave us a lovely note, telling me to use the key to open the door and the electricity card to get electricity. This is a very lovely detail of theirs. Most things here in the youth hostel are self-service. If you need beer, please scan the QR code on WeChat and take it from the refrigerator. The cleanliness here is still very good. Free towels are provided at the front desk. The bus is only 100 meters away from the hotel, and you can take a direct bus to Guilin North Station..." In short, we are very happy to provide services to foreign friends

Close to Guilin railway station within 5 minutes walking. Wifi works great for online working. The staff (or maybe the owner) is nice and attentive. Room and bed is comfy enough for a couple nights of sleep
Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you very much for staying at Time Inn Youth Hostel. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Looking forward to meeting you next time and wishing you a happy life!

Decent, inexpensive hostel with single and double rooms. Hosts offered free dinner with family members and other guests. Not a fancy accommodation but OK for the lie tariff and most importantly only a few hundred meters from Guilin zhan.

The location is practical, next to the train station/coach station, and the elephant trunk scenic area. The hotel in itself is not very modern but overall clean (you get what you paid for)
Response from Property: 親!感謝您,我們翻譯了,您是説“這家酒店位置很實用,挨着火車站/長途汽車站,還有象鼻山景區。酒店本身不算特別現代化,但整體乾淨(一分錢一分貨嘛)。”非常感謝您的認可,我們店確實是很多外國友人選擇,歡迎你們外國朋友繼續選擇我們家喔!

The girl who checked us in was super helpful and friendly. We booked a three person room with a western style toilet but the room was not available so she gave us two rooms so we didn’t have to use a squat toilet! The reception area was very open and nice to hang out in. Working pool table. Free washing machines. Would definitely stay again!
Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you very much for staying at Shiguoyi Youth Inn, and thank you for taking your precious time to leave us a review. I am very happy that you came with full expectations and returned with full satisfaction. Our hotel is located directly opposite Guilin Railway Station (next to Lavande Hotel, a 5-minute walk from the station exit through the underground passage). It is a 15-minute walk to Guilin City emblem Elephant Trunk Mountain and the Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area. We look forward to your next visit. This time we meet, I wish you a happy life!

To be honest, this is the cleanest and quietest youth hostel I have ever stayed in the city center. It is directly opposite the Guilin Railway Station. You can get there by walking through the underground passage after exiting the high-speed railway station. The owner is very hardworking and must mop the floor every morning and also mop the floor at night when he is free. The lobby is spacious and the atmosphere is very good. The surrounding transportation is convenient, and it is very convenient to go anywhere.

Despite being only a few minutes' walk from Guilin Station, it was cheap at just 110 RMB per night.
The facilities and amenities were reasonable.
Towels were not provided in the room, but I asked at the front desk and they were available for free rental. Perhaps this is to reduce the effort of having them in the room?
I was given both a key and a card key for the room door, but the card key could not be used to open or close the door, and was only meant to be inserted near the entrance to the room to use the electricity, which was a mysterious feature...
The most annoying thing was that there were mosquitoes in the room, even though it was May. In retrospect, there was something that looked like an electric mosquito repellent, so it would have been a good idea to ask if they had any medicine.

Response from Property: Dear Japanese friends, the translation software helped us understand. You meant: "Although it is only a few minutes' walk to Guilin Railway Station, it only costs more than 100 yuan a night. The relevant equipment and facilities are also suitable. There are no towels in the room. After asking at the front desk, I found that they are provided free of charge. Is this to reduce the trouble of placing things in the room? I was given the key and key card for the door, but the key card cannot be used to open and close the door. It is only for electricity. The thing that evaporates near the entrance of the room is a mysterious style. Thinking back, there was something like an electric mosquito repellent on it..." We are happy to serve you Japanese friends. Welcome you and your friends. Choose to come to our home next time.
