Hostels in Guizhou, China

I came across a youth hostel that was everything I imagined a youth hostel to be. It's very close to both the high-speed rail station and the subway station. The owners are two people and a dog. The walls are covered with message boards, group photos, and travel guides. The beds are 1.3-meter capsules. Disposable face and bath towels are provided for showering. The clothes hanging area in the bathroom has a splash-proof curtain. The public washbasin has a very useful hair dryer. The laundry room has a clothes drying area. The dehumidifier runs 24 hours a day. From the entrance to the dormitory to the public washroom, there is a fresh and clean smell. The entrance is covered with thick carpet. There is a coffee shop and a bar downstairs. In the evening, everyone can sign up to get together to play games or watch a movie downstairs. It really felt like I was staying in the youth hostel in the anime ”Lingya Journey”. It was wonderful. I will stay here again next time I visit Guiyang.

When you come to Anshun, it is really worth staying at Guiyang Yifang Youth Hostel! The location is right next to Anshun Ancient City, making it convenient for visiting attractions and finding snacks. The Youth Hostel lobby is very large. You can rest on the sofa when you are tired and chat with other guests. It doesn’t feel stuffy at all. The boss's sister is very enthusiastic. When asked about places for fun and delicious food, she will tell you in detail. The rooms and public areas are kept clean, making it very comfortable to live there. The price is also affordable, cost-effective, worth it!

The hostel is super close to the Guizhou Nationalities Museum, just across the street. It's located in a building, but be warned, you have to go around to the back of the building to find the elevator. I tried calling the owner when I arrived, but they didn't answer, so I had to ask around – a bank employee and then the building's security guard – before I finally found it. The women's restroom has two or three stalls, which was enough; I rarely had to wait. The showers are inside the restrooms, and yes, they're quite small. The distance to Jiaxiu Tower is a bit awkward – too far to walk comfortably, but a very short bus ride. It's the same situation for the high-speed rail station. The biggest advantage is having the museum right downstairs. It's a fantastic museum! I took the elevator straight to the 8th floor to start, then descended to the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd floors to explore, finally exiting from the second floor. In front of the museum is an imposing statue of Chairman Mao. There's also a huge drum nearby, but unfortunately, it wasn't open. I only stayed in Guiyang for one day, heading to the train station the next morning. The night view of Jiaxiu Tower is absolutely stunning; I lingered there, captivated! It was super crowded with tourists, really packed. Unfortunately, I arrived too late and couldn't go inside Jiaxiu Tower. Well, there are always some regrets, right? I also visited Yangming Temple (Yangming Ci). There are two temples and one monastery; I didn't go to the monastery on the mountaintop. I met a lovely woman there by chance, and we took lots of photos for each other. Many people go there just to take pictures.

It's not bad. The boss is very nice. The food they recommend is delicious. There are also many delicious foods nearby, such as mutton rice noodle and beef rice noodle, both are good. The boiled cat is also recommended. There are a few cats, and the boss said they are adopted stray cats, which is good.

We stayed at the boss's house for three days on the recommendation of a friend. The boss and his family were very nice and they had a lot of luggage, so we had to carry it all for us. The boss's house is high up in the stockade, with a 360-degree view of the whole stockade. The scenery is better and quieter than living below. In the past three days, I have tasted the boss's menu all over. I am a picky Sichuanese and I think the craftsmanship is so good. I have three meals a day at the boss's place. Even when I go down the mountain to play, my family will not eat anything from outside. Come back and eat the boss's food. Every morning I wake up to the crowing of the rooster, go for a walk in the fields, and eat a bowl of the boss’s tomato scrambled egg noodles. Both husband and wife are hard-working people. We are grateful for meeting each other and wish the business a prosperous future!

The young boy and girl at the front desk were very nice. The bathrooms and rooms were relatively clean. The location is superb, convenient for getting around. When we checked back in after staying one night in the Miao village, they said we were regular customers and wouldn't need to pay a deposit.

The room is clean and the boss is nice, but some of the people staying here have very poor manners. They don't listen to what the boss says and play games until after 3am, making a lot of noise. When I tell them to keep their voices down, they even curse at me. It's really annoying.

Charming accommodation decorated in Turkish style with exceptional service! Convenient location adjacent to the Ancient City but tucked away on a quit street allowing for peaceful rest at night. Charming room in historical building but with modern amenities. The owner speaks English well and gets out of his way to help his guest. Anander, the owner, walked to taxi with me and got taxi for me since it was a busy time during National Holiday. He is very attentive providing cold water during the hot days. The owner helped contacting my next hotel and gave advice for easy transportation with following up late to make sure I got safely to the next hotel. Best service I ever had traveling in China!

The room was very clean, the bed was clean too, and the freshly changed sheets and quilt had a light, fresh fragrance. The location was also great, with the White House and the Twin Towers right outside the window. The night view was beautiful.

The location is very easy to find, and if you contact them in advance before entering the ancient town, you can even avoid paying for tickets. The owner is very welcoming, the decor is cozy, it's clean and hygienic, and very warm. Highly recommend staying here!
