Eh, average hostel. Barely spoke english. Not much help with directions. Stinks like urine at the entrance. 0 atmosphere.

Honest accommodation Mrs Panda Hostel- we stayed there 2 times and both of our stayings were events free! The hostel is CLEAN, the sheets are white and ironed, good beds and mooshy pilows, extra blankets on requests, toiletries in the room, also! We prefered the duble room with shared bathroom for 2 reasons: 1. Rooms with bathrooms have less natural light than we like (our preference) and 2. Because the shared toilets ARE EXTRA CLEAN! (Our standards). There is a service lady who s always there although you never notice her into toilet area! Another thing: the toilets are never busy even though they are shared between 14 rooms. So, for our 14euros/ night we had great service! The staff is awasome (even for high demand clients), English speaking and very helpful considering how many travellers are asking for their translating services, bill, food, laundry, tours etc. Tipping the personnel is a perfect way to thank them for hard work! My personal preferance for this place is the self satisfied male cat, Boss, whos the rightfull owner of this hostel! He lies everywhere and any human gives him the amount of love he permits. All in one: great location, good resting & superior cleaning facilities, great services, great value for money.

Great hostel. It's almost like a hotel, but it's a backpacker. Breakfast options are great. Just book it in advance. Its walking distance to many things, and its opposite the lake which is great. Caters very much for English speaking and the backpackers are mainly English speaking.

It's a hostel with expensive rooms. They have paper-thin walls made it impossible to sleep. You could every neighbor talking in their rooms and every morning I would wake up with a Chinese person shouting. The internet speed also was awful - barely managed to get connected. Plus sides: It's clean and in a good location

we stayed at this hostel during the national week in china. it was the first time we slept in an inn. we could have our rooms and that went well. the only big problem we had and not least was when booking trips to see the big Buddha. the tour was awful !! the trip was very expensive, 700 yuan which is a big budget even if you were on vacation. we thought we could have a rest with a guide, a driver to enjoy the day. it happened the opposite! already the driver was driving very badly and the guide spoke very poor English. the guide even brought a friend to him to progress in English but that's not our problem. the day starts very badly because the boat on which we had boarded had to last 40 minutes to see the Buddha but it lasted only 10 minutes. the excuse was that it was national week in China, but that's not our problem. we paid a lot for this excursion. in the afternoon, the guide took us to the city! it was awful! We paid 700 Yuan to see only 10 minutes the Buddha while we came to see him and we spent most of the afternoon in the city can. In the evening a man from the hostel did not want to know anything by giving a clearing that it was not his fault. but it's not ours either. we paid for something we did not get. On top of that it was not pleasant when we had one of the worst days of our life. Being in China as a tourist I do not recommend to anyone this experience that will disgust you hostels can serious. to avoid!
