Hostels di Jiangsu, China

I've got to say that this was, without any doubt, the best option for a limited-time accomodation I could've found to comfortably stay in Nanjing for 3 days, have more time to explore all the city's landmarks and not to be obliged to move from one end of Nanjing to another each time 👍 In fact, one of the key advantages of Xiying Hotel is not only in very reasonable prices for accommodation (compared to most of the other hotels, even nearby), but also the location of the Hotel - right in the centre of Qinhuai district and it's so comfortable that it takes literally no more than 11-17 minutes of pedestrian walk to reach many of the Nanjing's most popular cultural and historic sights (to be exact - Laomendong, Fuzimiao Pedestrian Street and the Confucius Temple, Zhanyuan Garden and the Nanjing City Wall), and that's why it's a perfect option if your main goal is to explore the city and its historic destinations (especially in a short term), and, at the same time, have a comfortable, clean, well equipped room to stay during your visit. I chose this Hotel almost immediately after I discovered and looked through it, and that was the best choice of accommodation I could have made for my trip to Nanjing. Furthermore, the staff were very courteous, hospitable and helpful, and they're always glad to assist you no matter what kind of problem you're experiencing) If I'm talking about myself, I had 2 problems - first one is that before my arrival I booked a wrong type of room by mistake (female instead of male), but nevertheless, thanks to the help of the staff it was solved instantly, at the reception desk, simply by paying a small additional sum of money, required for a male room. And the second one happened after I arrived too early at the Railway Station, when it was still closed, and I realised that I had to wait for 5 hours for it to open, but I've already checked out from the room and left the hotel. Still, the manager at the reception desk kindly offered me to return back and spend the night in their hotel, in the room I booked earlier, despite the fact that I already checked out, and I'm endlessly grateful to her for giving me this opportunity. On the whole, I can confidently say, that if I'm ever going to visit Nanjing in future, I'll definitely choose the Xiying Hotel, and I highly recommend you to do the same)

I had a fantastic stay at Sawmill Youth Hostel. The place was always clean, and the common areas never had any unpleasant smells. The bathrooms were spotless and dry, with no standing water. My bed was tidy, and all the bedding was brand new. The front desk staff were very friendly and patiently answered all my questions. They were quick to help with any issues. The lobby had a relaxed atmosphere, and I enjoyed participating in the games organized by the hostel in my free time. The location was convenient for getting around, and there were plenty of dining options nearby. The value for money was excellent, and the cleanliness and service far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hostel for short trips and will definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Nanjing.

Environment: Fantastic! From the moment you step out of the elevator into the common areas, rooms, and washrooms, everything is impeccable. There are plenty of vanity tables. I really love the common area; it has a very warm atmosphere with many sticky notes on the wall where people share their stories. We briefly cross paths in this shared space. Service: Good. After check-in, they briefly explain the important notes and escort you to your room. Cleanliness: All areas are very clean and tidy. Facilities: The only minor drawback is that the bunk beds easily disturb each other. I slept on the bottom bunk, and whenever the person on the top bunk moved or turned over, the bed made some noise, which significantly affected my ability to fall asleep.

This is my seventh night staying at Duoyuan Youth Hostel 🏨 on September 8th. I've previously written simple introductions and reviews about the common areas, dorms, bathrooms, and other aspects, so this time I'll write about something different! I'm someone who can be both introverted and extroverted. Today, while playing with the somewhat haughty black and white chubby cat in the lobby, a guy from Wuxi who was traveling suddenly joined me to watch the cat 😺. We chatted quite a bit. Even though I'm in an unfamiliar city, traveling alone, these simple conversations made me feel a sense of familiarity, a closeness that came from these fleeting, pleasant exchanges. I'm very grateful to the hostel for this 'gift.' It might require a bit of luck, but when it happens, it brightens your whole day, and you even leave with a slight feeling of calm and composure. I hope every backpacker who comes to Duoyuan has good luck, good experiences, and meets many wonderful people! 😃 Also, a big thank you to Nanjing Duoyuan Youth Hostel. Two days ago, I asked a staff member at the front desk if they had a bag for me. He couldn't find one, so he just gave me a canvas bag with 'Nanjing' inscribed on it. He said it was a souvenir, and I was so happy to receive such a thoughtful gift!

I chose this hostel for my solo trip to Suzhou, and the overall experience completely exceeded my expectations! It's located right next to the South Gate of Lion Grove Garden, just a few minutes' walk to Pingjiang Road and Humble Administrator's Garden, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the ancient city. It's great for getting to all the attractions. The front desk service was gentle and thoughtful, patiently answering all my questions about sightseeing. The facilities are complete, with laundry and drying areas available. The female dorm beds offer excellent privacy, making me feel very secure as a solo traveler. It's incredibly good value for money, and I'll definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Suzhou! It's so convenient to go anywhere and really comfortable, the value for money is great. A day trip in Suzhou is wonderful. Yesterday there was a bit of sun, and then it immediately rained – truly the misty江南 (Jiangnan, a region known for its misty landscapes)!

The location is fantastic, very close to the subway station, making it super convenient for finding food and exploring. The place is cleaned regularly, the beds are tidy, and the bedding is clean with no strange odors. The individual lockers provide a good sense of security. The owner is very kind and responsive to any issues. The common areas are clean and comfortable. It's excellent value for money, especially for solo travelers looking for a place to stay.

The room was spotless, and the auntie at the front desk was so kind and thoughtful. They even upgraded my room for free, and the location was easy to find. I hope this hostel keeps up the great work; I'll definitely be back next time.

The hostel's location is excellent, just across the street from the South Square of the train station. There are shopping malls and large supermarkets with many chain brands nearby, and public transportation is also quite convenient. A special commendation goes to the cleanliness of the room; the owner herself cleaned it. One suggestion: getting dressed after showering is a bit inconvenient, as you're worried about your pants touching the wet floor, and there's nowhere to lean against, so you have to stand on one leg. The shower water temperature is good, the flow is strong, and it's very comfortable; it's not cold at all. Overall, I had a great two-day stay!

Narrow Encounter Youth Hostel was by far the best accommodation during my trip to Suzhou! The overall experience was incredibly comfortable and completely changed my preconceived notions about hostels. The hostel itself was clean and fresh, with simple yet cozy decor. The common areas were tidy and well-ventilated, clearly well-maintained, with no unpleasant odors or clutter throughout my stay. The sleeping areas were very quiet; I was never disturbed, whether resting during the day or sleeping at night. Each bed was fully equipped, and the privacy was excellent – pulling the curtain created a private little space, offering a great sense of security. The location was a huge plus. Situated in the heart of Suzhou's Gusu business district, it's close to the subway, and you can walk to major attractions and snack streets. It made getting around and exploring very convenient, saving a lot of travel time. The facilities were also comprehensive. Free laundry and drying services, along with a leisure terrace, met all my essential travel and accommodation needs. The staff were gentle and patient, providing meticulous and thoughtful service, always ready to help promptly with any issues. They were truly sincere. The value for money was outstanding. The environment, hygiene, and service far exceeded other accommodations in the same price range. I highly recommend this place for student travelers, solo travelers, or anyone looking for a short-term stay. It's definitely my top choice for accommodation in Suzhou!

The overall environment of the room is very good, very clean, the bed is very soft and comfortable, and the equipment and facilities are perfect. I have been here more than once or twice, I am very satisfied, and I will come to 😚 in the future.
