Hostels in Guangdong, China

"This was my first time staying in a hostel, and the front desk staff were really enthusiastic. The facilities here are quite good; they have washing machines, dryers, and even shoe washing machines, though there are a bit too few of them. There are only four showers and toilets, which can be insufficient during peak hours, and it seemed like two of the toilets were out of order. The shower rooms have wet and dry separation, but I found the way the showerhead turns on a bit difficult to use. The toilets only have commodes, but they provide disposable toilet seat covers and disinfectant. The hairdryer was super powerful and worked great. The hygiene in the wash-up area felt a bit lacking; the vanity table had a layer of something unidentifiable caked on it, looking quite dirty. The amenities for the bunks are also good; each bed has its own storage space, including a small lockable cabinet and a spot for luggage. However, the bedding makes noise with even the slightest movement; it would be better if softer material was used, and it didn't seem very clean. If something isn't clean, it should probably be replaced. I found the pillow too high and uncomfortable to sleep on; I hope they can offer choices of different heights. The luggage storage on the first floor is great, allowing you to enjoy your day even after checking out with a lot of bags. The surrounding area has hardware stores, and it can be quite noisy in the mornings when they open, which might wake you up. Overall, it's pretty good, but the hygiene details are a bit lacking, so it might not be very comfortable for germaphobes. I hope 'Backpack Ten Years' can improve and have a longer future. Oh, and the small bread at the bar was decent."

"Such a clean and modern hostel for such a low price! Location is great aswell, easy access to metro, and a lot of restaurants right below the complex. The hostel has no reception, the place is slightly difficult to find and get into. But hostel staff is very friendly and gives you very clear instructions via wechat. Best place ive stayed at in Shenzhen by far!"

"I usually never bother to write reviews for accommodations, but after having a simple lunch for over 100 RMB in Huaqiangbei today, I suddenly felt compelled to review the Qiyou Hostel where I'm staying. For just 88 RMB a night, it's not only clean, comfortable, and has warm, attentive service, but it's truly a condensed five-star hotel experience. The lobby is spacious and bright, and they offer free freshly ground coffee – yes, free! Many five-star hotels I've stayed in don't even offer complimentary freshly ground coffee! They also have free tea, direct-drink hot and cold water, and separate male and female rest areas. The guests all seem very respectful; the lounge area is really quiet. The sleeping pods are incredibly comfortable too; the bed is spacious enough, there's air conditioning, a locker for personal items, and hooks to hang things. Everyone in the sleeping area also has a locker that can fit a large suitcase. The lovely front desk staff told me that if I have a lot of luggage, I can store it in their baggage room. They have a wide selection of books available for free loan. In the evenings, you'll see groups of guests sitting in the lobby, chatting softly – many foreigners, men and women, old and young, all looking very relaxed. Besides not providing disposable toiletries, they offer everything else a star-rated hotel would. Oh, and you can buy toiletries and other common necessities from the vending machine in the lobby, and the prices are very reasonable. You can tell the owner genuinely cares. Highly recommend!"

"The room was great, and the hostess was lovely. My roommates were all so nice and we had a lot of fun together, which really made me feel the beauty of university life. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Shenzhen."

"The environment is beautiful, with an endless expanse of blue ocean right outside the window. The air is so fresh, and it really lifts your spirits! The room was clean, tidy, and cozy. Dining was convenient. After dinner, I hit the hotel gym, worked up a good sweat, and then came back to the room for a refreshing shower before falling into a deep, beautiful sleep!"

"We recently stayed here for two months for a business trip with about 10 people. It took my boss 2-3 days to find this hostel, and we were all really happy with it. It's quiet yet conveniently located. The common area is super comfortable, and the shower water pressure is great and relaxing. The owner even provided good quality shower gel, shampoo, and toilet paper. The washing machine and dryer were reasonably priced to use. Honestly, it felt just like staying in a mid-range hotel, and the cleanliness of the bedding even surpassed some! The owner was always accommodating and helpful. A big thank you to the owner for taking care of us for a whole month. I specifically wanted to leave this good review to commend them."

"The service was very nice, and the girl at the front desk was very kind. However, I almost checked out because the girl in my room worked at night, and I couldn't sleep. She set the air conditioner to 30°C. I told her the room was very warm, and she finally lowered it to 27.5°C. 😂 I was roasting! Also, the bed squeaked every time we moved. The receptionist offered me another room, but I preferred to move to a different hostel"

"I stayed for an extended period, and the overall experience was fantastic! The all-female environment was very comfortable, and most guests were quiet and polite. It's very close to the subway station, saving a lot of time and effort for my daily commute. The disposable bedding was a big plus, and there are lockers available in the hotel for luggage, so you don't have to worry about clutter. Communication with the front desk was smooth, and they were very responsive to any issues. The value for money is truly exceptional in Shenzhen."

"This hotel is close to Bao'an Center, which is convenient for my work. The subway station is right downstairs, making transportation super easy. There's a supermarket and plenty of restaurants nearby, so it's very convenient for daily life. It offers good value for money, especially for business trips."

"A comfortable and cozy guesthouse with stunning views from the rooftop, complete with hammocks and an English-speaking host (which was super helpful for a foreigner like me). The facilities were very clean. It's relatively close to the train station and surrounded by many bus stops, making it easy to get to different parts of the city. An excellent choice for traveling in Shantou!"
