Hostels in Guangdong, China

I stayed at this hotel based on a recommendation. This time, I used a triple room. The hotel is conveniently located, about a 5-minute walk from Yangji Station (Exit F), offering access to Metro Lines 1 and 5, which is great for sightseeing and getting around the city. There's a shared space and kitchen on the top floor, which was very relaxing. The hotel had a quiet and calm atmosphere, making my stay comfortable. The balance between location and facilities is excellent, and I would definitely want to stay here again if I have the chance to visit Guangzhou.

The front desk is on the first floor, and the second floor is an all-female accommodation area, divided into common areas (living room, lockers, restrooms) and guest rooms. Luggage cannot be taken into the rooms. After entering the second floor, you first change into slippers at the entrance of the common area, and then put your luggage in the lockers. Pros: 1. There are two cleaning staff every day, and the common areas and rooms are cleaned daily, which is quite clean. You don't have to put on duvet covers yourself, which is great! 2. The guesthouse facilities and management are well-planned. 3. The common area has desks, charging outlets, a refrigerator, and a water dispenser. 4. Disposable toiletries are complete, including bath towels, sanitary napkins, steam eye masks, etc. You don't need to buy them yourself, which is very cost-effective. Cons: 1. The washing machine and dryer cost money; one wash and one dry costs upwards of 6 yuan. 2. The restrooms are a bit small; it's a bit difficult to open the door and turn around if you're a bit larger. 3. Wet clothes can only be hung in the washing area, which is limited. When there are many people, clothes are squeezed together and can't air out properly. 4. The shower products (shower gel and shampoo are really not good, they don't lather at all. Can they be replaced with better ones?) Overall, it's pretty good. After staying in such a well-managed hostel, I really don't want to stay in private hostels anymore. Although the price is a bit high, there are free disposable toiletries, so you don't have to buy these things yourself, which lightens the burden of our luggage.

I stayed in a dorm room for three days, and my overall experience exceeded my expectations. In the mornings, I'd walk downstairs to the cheong fun (rice noodle roll) shop for breakfast; their fresh shrimp cheong fun was wonderfully smooth and tender. It was just a few minutes' walk to Binjiangdong Road subway station, and I could get to Beijing Road and Yongqing Fang with just one transfer. Each bed in the room had its own curtain and charging port, so I had privacy when I drew the curtain. The communal laundry room was available 24/7, and it was super convenient to be able to wash and dry my clothes right away.

The facilities are quite new and generally good. They provide bottled water, disposable toothbrushes, two hangers, and one towel. If you need a comb, you'll have to ask for it at the front desk. The bathroom is a wet/dry separation with a shower room and a toilet. There's one hairdryer in the shower room and two in the toilet area. As for soundproofing, since it's basically just a bed curtain, any movement from people in the same room will be quite noticeable. The toilets are all Western-style, no squat toilets. There's a dryer and a washing machine available, though I didn't use them.

I am deeply amazed on how comfy and good this hostel is. Located in Nantou Anicent town, so close to the entrance yet surrounded with unlimited shops, foods, museums, a bakery next door serving really unique cream bread, supporting local businesses. Upon stepping into my dorm room, I was greeted with a college like white blue vibe, decorated with art works from a girl, I love how it has its personal touch separating it from other hostel brands. It's one of a kind that is hard to find elsewhere. My favourite is the bed. It felt like home, so cozy yet so warm, blanket felt fleecy yet not too warm or cold. The pillow was chef kissed that I planned to buy when I get home, it had the shape of where the head should be laid inwards, while supporting the neck. The bed is so comfy firm yet not super soft and not too hard like brick. There is a ”stubborn” cabinet, a shelf to put your stuff on, 2 option of light: 1 to brighten the bed up and a nice warm night light. There is space for luggage under the bed, lockers comes with a lock and key which is such a good idea, so it's for sure a very safe locker. The metal net near the door is perfect for drying clothes with many hangers to use. They also gives a voucher sheet to use to support the local business nearby, can treat yourself with a hair cut or a massage. Bathroom. Sink area is so cute, shower room and toilet is together, feels a bit tight but still good. Near reception, you have free amenities to use. I wasn't very social enough so I didn't enter the other areas that has dining, laundry and the bar. Would recommend this place to other people and coming back when 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.

As a solo traveler, I blindly booked the Amic Amy Girls' Hostel in Sea World, and it absolutely blew me away! This is hands down the best budget accommodation I've ever experienced. The location is incredibly convenient. The Shuikou subway station is just a few steps away, and it's a 10-minute walk to the Sea World commercial district, making exploring and dining super easy. The entire building is exclusively for women, with double-swipe card access for the main door and individual beds, and doors are locked at night, so solo female travelers feel incredibly safe. I was particularly impressed with the cleanliness! Housekeeping regularly cleans the entire place, and there's absolutely no odor. Each bed has a thick blackout curtain, a bedside night light, multi-port chargers, and a huge under-bed storage locker. Once you're inside the curtain, it's your own private little nook. The bathrooms are dry-wet separated, and the shower rooms even have air conditioning, so no waiting in line. The separate vanity area has a huge mirror, perfect for photos and makeup, plus there's a washer and dryer, which means packing so much less for short trips! The common areas are decorated in a gentle and calming style, with fresh flowers everywhere. It's great for both quiet work and chatting with fellow travelers. The other guests were all considerate, keeping quiet late at night. The front desk staff were gentle and attentive, and the check-in explanation was incredibly patient. To find such a thoughtful and comfortable female-only hostel at this price point is amazing. Students and solo female travelers, don't hesitate to book this place. I'll definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Shekou!

The location is super convenient for getting around, with many attractions nearby. It's right by the Pearl River, Canton Customs House, and Shamian Island.

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!
