My friend got a little accident, stepped in glass, was bleeding. The staff provided all the help necessary, also a visit to the hospital. Great! What a nice and helpful staff...
I also liked the dumpling party they organized with the guests. Language is not important to work together!
Main plus point is the location, 50 m from the City Wall and close to everything! Good surroundings with a nice quiet temple opposite the hotel. Room was spacious for the price, esp the bathroom. We used the coin laundry facility very cheap, but had some issues with the machine...well solved by one of the staff a young boy who went out of his way to help (could talk fair bit of English as well).
Minus point is the young crowd milling around all the time. The worst thing was the absence of stairs to the upper floors. Our room on the 3rd floor needed bit of effort esp with the suitcases.
L'hotel Ăš in una buona posizione, il personale Ăš cordiale e disponibile, la camera non Ăš eccezionale: il bagno non mi Ăš piaciuto e si deve pagare per avere sapone, shampoo e docciaschiuma.
Sconsiglio vivamente di mangiare la sera nel ristorante annesso: Ăš caro, il personale Ăš improponibile ed il cibo Ăš immangiabile. Esattamente dall'altro lato della strada inizia una via con bar, pub e ristoranti di gran lunga migliori ed economici.
The best thing is the excellent and helpful staff speaking English, something hard to get in the city.
An old Chinese nobel house architecture is a nice touch to a hostel stay.
Ett enkelt vandrarhem som ÀndÄ Àr bra. Trevlig service av hjÀlpsamma mÀnniskor som var ganska bra pÄ engelska. Fullt tillrÀcklig frukost. GÄngavstÄnd till sevÀrdheterna i centrum. Rummet var litet och duschen det enda att klaga pÄ. SvÄrt att fÄ varmvattenet att rÀcka till och avrinningen var Ät fel hÄll. Det blev blött pÄ golvet och mycket att torka upp.
If you get a room overlooking the road, it's difficult to sleep as the road is very noisy. My only other gripe is that we expected the staff at what is described as an international youth hostel to be more helpful to travellers. I speak mandarin, which is lucky as the staff struggled to understand me in English, but that's ok, after all, I was in China! However they would not help me book any tickets for onward travel, not a train or bus ticket or even a taxi! Unless you are booking a tour through their own driver or agents, they didn't want to know, which has not been my experience of any other hostels who are usually happy to help.
