Hostels in Guangdong, China

The place was amazing! Super clean, comfortable, and way more affordable than I expected. 💕 It’s really close to the train station just a short walk away, so getting around was super easy. There are also plenty of food options nearby. The host was very kind and helpful throughout my stay. 🥰 If you’re looking for a nice place to stay that’s both convenient and budget-friendly, I totally recommend this one! 💯✨

This stay really can't fault it! The location is too convenient, 5 minutes walk to the subway station, the surrounding business districts, restaurants are all available, and the quiet is not noisy at all. The front desk service is particularly warm and the speed of the entry is fast and the luggage is sent directly to the room. The room is more spacious than the picture, the decoration is simple and clean, the bedding is just soft and hard, and I sleep until dawn all night. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, hot water is sufficient, the toiletries taste very comfortable, the minibar will fill up with free drinks every day, and the details are full. The combination of Chinese and Western breakfast, the fresh local specialties of the ingredients are especially amazing. Whether traveling or traveling, it is super suitable, and it has been collected and will come again next time!

LOVED this place. Feels like a real hostel, very social atmosphere. Many foreigners and friendly Chinese who spoke English. Most staff spoke english, which is a rarity in China. Comfortable bed with light and a plug. Good hot water shower. Washing machine available for 5 yuan. Full kitchen, even has an air fryer. Location is near one metro station, though biking is the easiest to get to Futian center. It's in a residential super-complex, so there's several grocery stores and restaurants, plus a large and lively park full of residents. A great window into Chinese daily urban life.

This isn't my first time staying here, and it offers great value for money. The hostel is located on Qinglv Middle Road, with all the major attractions nearby. There are also several direct bus routes to the Macau border. The interior design is well-thought-out, perfect for both activity and relaxation – it's truly a top-notch hostel! Most of the guests are young people, and you can chat with folks from all over, learning about different industries and lives. Even though it's just a hostel, the front desk provides five-star service. I really wish I could take a long vacation and stay here for a few months!

Fantastic! Exceeded my expectations. As a hostel enthusiast, I can say this one is better than any I've stayed at before, especially having private rooms which made me feel very secure. The staff were all wonderful and incredibly accommodating. There's also a cute cat at the hostel! When the weather's good, you can relax on the sun loungers on the balcony. They even provide towels and toothbrushes, so you don't need to pack your own. (Plus, there's a large police station just around the corner, adding to the feeling of safety!) It's also super convenient, just over a kilometer from Gongbei Port.

A tranquil time at Mu'an Cottage, so gentle it made me reluctant to leave. The bedding was soft, the amenities thoughtful, and every detail exuded a sense of peace. The space was well-divided for quiet and activity; if someone in the dorm was being noisy, the staff ladies would handle it. There was daily cleaning and free feminine hygiene products provided. I'll definitely be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay at Guangzhou Desti Youth Hostel! I had a fantastic experience at the Guangzhou Desti Youth Hostel! From the moment I checked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful—many spoke great English which made things so easy. The facilities are modern and spotlessly clean, especially the well-designed dorm beds and excellent, hot showers. The common area has a fantastic atmosphere, complete with a bar and pool table, making it super easy to meet other travelers and socialize. The location is also perfect, just a short walk from the subway and local street food. Overall, it's outstanding value for money and exceeded all my expectations. Highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Guangzhou!”

The hostel is close to the metro station. The welcome package was thoughtful. The bed was clean, spacious and comfortable. The common area was good, although some people seemed to claim their spot and were there all the time. There were plenty of cleaning staff. There was a dedicated makeup area which I was thankful for. I've stayed in many hostels recently, in which getting into the bathroom to take a shower has been near impossible due to people taking hours to do their make up in there! Someone used this area to conduct a series of TEFL lessons online. They were so loud. I could hear every word from my bed in the dorm. The soundproofing wasn't that great. The showers had a wet dry divide with a curtain separating the dry area from the shower. These didn't fully close. Unfortunately, the cleaning staff would fully open the curtain into the shower room which took away a sense of privacy from the corridor. What was the point of the curtains in the first place if they are just being kept open? The beds in the dorm had no hooks, so everything had to be sat on shelves. You are provided with a big, fluffy bath towel to use during the stay. However, there is no-where to put it after using it. There is a drying area for clothes on the balcony which was packed with clothes. I didn't see anyone hang their towel out there. Most people had it laying on their bed which is not hygienic. There are a lot of stairs to carry heavy luggage up! All in all, I enjoyed my stay. However, it was lacking some practical aspects that would have otherwise made it perfect.

The location is easy to find, right on Longyan Street. The landlady was very welcoming. The room was a bit small, but the price was acceptable for the area. She even gave me a keychain when I checked out. It just so happened that the day after I arrived was the 10th anniversary of the Mazu birthday celebration, a once-in-a-decade event for the Chaoshan people. I was almost crushed by the crowds… I saw beautiful fireworks and intangible cultural heritage performances like the lobster dance and centipede dance, as well as the pig-racing competition, etc. (^(I)^)

I was incredibly busy, made some mistakes due to the rush, and was feeling very stressed. Mandy, from the hotel staff, listened intently as I explained potential solutions, just like the last time I messed up. She then capably repeated what I'd said and we reached an agreement. After I left, this thoughtful young woman, seeing my bewilderment, informed me that my issue had been resolved. I was genuinely thrilled!. Also, just like when I first checked in, I had a hard time adjusting to Guangdong's humidity and subtropical climate, plus the old arcade-style buildings I love sometimes have pests. As a well-organized 'i' person (introvert), she listened to my concerns without invalidating them. She then shared all the comprehensive risk knowledge that the hotel staff possesses. Furthermore, all the staff members, from the bustling, hardworking housekeeping team who share local life insights, to the lively and diverse service girls, make you feel that, in an age where hostels are increasingly driven by commercial interests, this retro hostel with its balconies and front desk truly holds meaning. I also felt the peaceful demeanor and sincerity of their brand initiative, especially for single-gender branding!
