YOOTEL HOSTEL HANGZHOU

Nice hostel. There are many guests, and men and women stay in separate rooms; there are no mixed dormitories. It's very close to the shopping street, so if you like shopping on Chinese shopping streets, this place is very convenient. The subway is also very convenient. I took the high-speed train, and it takes about half an hour to get to the high-speed train station from here by subway. Hangzhou seems to have fewer foreigners than Shanghai, and you rarely see foreigners in this area.

A very nice youth hostel, highly recommended. I took a taxi directly from Shanghai Airport to Hangzhou, but later the staff told me that taking the high-speed train to Hangzhou would be much cheaper. Trip is a great website, and foreigners can use it to book train tickets in China without needing Alipay; you can pay with a credit card, which is very convenient. There are many places to eat around this hostel. The room has a toilet and a shower. There are also many HALAL restaurants nearby. It's very close to the subway station. The front desk staff helped me set up Alipay and taught me how to use it to take the subway. It was a very good trip to Hangzhou.

So, this is the second night. The staff remains the best part of the stay. I mean the amenities are all decent too. You have your water, wifi, microwave, hair dryer, hot shower etc all covered. It being a majorly student or long term accomodation is what affects certain experiences. Not always but it's a matter of chance. Like you could be in a room which is full of clothes left out to dry, after a while they start to smell slightly. Especially if the weather is not sunny or the room airy. I find the foutons to be a particularly thin for taste. I never enjoyed sleeping on foutons but i understand it makes sense in a hostel and business wise. So when you're put up with long terms guests. It could be that 1 person comes back from work etc at 1 am and then does his whole routine shower, brushing etc. And another wakes up at 7 am for work and does his whole routine which can be slightly noisy. If you get my point. So that does affect the sleep quality which i'm struggling with. Anywho, I'd still rate the place good for the staff, location, amenities and the price factor. I also love how there are so many food outlets all around the hostel. Cant stress enough, all the young people who manage the reception desk in shifts are very kind and helpful.

This was a good hostel. Nothing special. Very good for the price.

we deserved the 6 women person a room, the room was terrible. At first sight, the room already have 2 or 3 another guests. It seems they have stayed for too long, so the room isn't clean. at midnight 4 o'clock they come back and always vomit. so noisy and bad smell. we cann't slept. but service quite good, they change the room for us. Hostel should deserve for short duration, not long duration.

The room is clean, and the bed is sturdy. The staff is very willing to help. There are many big shopping malls nearby. This floor is high up and has an amazing view. It might be common in China, but the city view from the public lounge is really nice. There's a water dispenser and a washer and dryer. However, sometimes foreigners can't directly use the washing machine because they all use Alipay. If you want to use the washing machine, make sure you have Alipay. If you can't register, the staff can help you. You need cashless payment methods to fully enjoy your trip in China.
