Yue Xuan Courtyard Garden International Youth Hostel

The staff were really nice and very helpful. The hostel itself was in a great location for most things. Either an easy walk or a quick subway ride for great food or great sights.

The 4 bed dorm was quite cramped when we were all in.

Quite nice hostel. Hospital staff, clean rooms, comfortable relatively wide beds, clean linens, good location close to subway stataion, walking distance (20-40 minutes) to many sites. Free hot and cold water is available for the guests. Proper coffee is available for additional price.

No kitchen is available for the guests. You may use hot water to cook noodles, but that's it. The room I stayed is really tiny. The hostel is located in several relatively old small buildings. The bathroom is in a separate building, two shower cabins; not very new/ comfortable. Traveled in winter; so it was relatively cold in hostel. Though the living rooms and common room are constantly heated, doors are often open and thick curtains are used instead of doors (traditional Chinese culture?). Unlike some hostels, the property is not designed for parties. It usually gets totally quiet after about midnight. Though this seems to be common for China; and many guests would enjoy it.
