Hostels in Zhejiang, China

We mostly booked the hostel hoping for a social vibe but unfortunately this isn't really present. Everyone keeps to themselves in the common areas and there doesn't seem to be much interaction. When we asked staff about any social evening/night recommendations there wasn't really anything specific they could recommend. The hostel is a bit out of the way from the lake but quite easy to get to by means of a short bus ride. There's not much vegetarian places around so if you're a vegetarian that can be a bit difficult. The laundry is also not included in the price and costs extra. Aside from this, the room was very clean and the hostel was obviously very well maintained, however if you're an international traveller hoping to meet some other backpackers in Hangzhou it's not ideal.

I chose this hostel for the Dawn concert on September 13th. It's about a ten-minute walk to Xiaolianhua. The front desk staff, both male and female, were polite and enthusiastic. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, with the shower on the left and the vanity on the right as you enter. The shower pressure was great, and the bed was clean. One of my roommates was smoking, but they stopped after I opened the window to air out the room. Overall, everyone was well-behaved and quiet. Everyone also gets an individual locker with a password lock. Other than a roommate's slightly messy suitcase and a few occasionally using instant noodle cups as ashtrays on the floor, everything else was really good.

The location is pretty good, close to West Lake and the subway station, making it easy to find. There's a 'Xiaohongche' (shared bike station) right downstairs at the entrance. Floors 8-10 all belong to the same establishment, with the front desk on the 9th floor. Floors 8 and 9 are for accommodation, and the 10th floor is for recreational activities. It would be better if the male and female dorms were on separate floors, as currently, there are both male and female dorms on the same floor.

This was the first hostel I stayed at in Hangzhou, and it's located near Wensan Road subway station, making transportation very convenient. It's right by Huanglong Times Square, with plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby. It's also very close to West Lake, and there are lots of shared bikes around. The hostel walls even have tips for exploring West Lake, along with cherished memories left by past guests. As for the accommodations, they offer blackout curtains, complimentary disposable toothbrushes and towels. The bathroom and shower are separated into wet and dry areas, but both are in the same public space for men and women. In the lobby, there's a free water dispenser with 24-hour hot water, and you'll even find cats and dogs hanging out there.

These words instantly reminded me of the gentle moonlight embracing me, the soft, warm girls sitting in a row, my roommate's neatly organized toiletries, and a display of cosmetics. It's just like being at school. The taxi driver overcharged a bit, but on the way, I first encountered a hotel, and then the supermarket was very welcoming. This is my fourth time in Hangzhou. I originally planned to spend a day circling West Lake and then leave, but this wonderful hostel makes me want to stay another day! They provide disinfected towels and individually packed slippers in plastic bags – so thoughtful! Plus, a complimentary bottle of water (a precious commodity in the summer heat). Upon entering, I was greeted by a gentle, smiling young man. I finally recall his smile, it felt like it seeped into me, gently crushing the few withered leaves within. Turning a corner, I saw soft, warm girls (not as formidable as Fu Hao) sitting in a row, their cheeks slightly flushed – a sight you don't see in other hostels. ”To the person in charge, can you assign me a partner?”

Located in the West Lake Scenic Area, close to Tiger Run. The public area is quite large, with a courtyard.

Close to the station, more convenient

My first time trying a hostel was a wonderful surprise! The environment was clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere created by the owner was fantastic. Upon arrival, the owner introduced the sights, helped plan our itinerary, and even recommended restaurants – the food was delicious! 😋 In the evening, they organized a movie screening. The big screen was amazing, and the owner's two little sisters were so cute! After the movie, we sat together to share our thoughts – a novel and fun experience. I also want to thank the owner for helping us with our interview assignment. Reflecting on the movie experience, while algorithms may influence hostel operations to some extent, I believe that such genuine and warm hospitality will surely be rewarded in the future. Wishing the owner continued success in their business! 🥳

This hotel is an excellent choice for anyone visiting Shaoxing, especially if you're here to see Lu Xun's former residence. It's super convenient, just 100 meters to the right when you exit the hotel. It's also very close to Xu Wei's former residence and the old streets. The room was comfortable, and the owner was very thoughtful; they even provided a therapeutic mat on the bed, which made sleeping very pleasant. The front desk staff were also very welcoming. Highly recommend!

Check-in staff and in house staff were really patient, respectful, and helpful. Asked them for direction and they kindly searched for it. This is a dormitory style homestay with shared room and bathroom. We stay in a private room with a private bathroom and toilet.Has hot water with good pressure. Non smoking room. Room is clean but mattress is really old and should be replaced. The tatami layout is nice with a simple sitting area.Recommend for owner to install more clothes hanging hooks for convenience. No tv in room. They have a large common area with regular and hot water dispenser. Many table and chairs for use. Location is far from city centre but within 10km by metro. Same distance to the west lake
