Hostels in Jiangxi, China

(Jingdezhen People Square Taoyangli Scenic Area) • Overall Rating: 5/5 ⭐ Excellent A Charming and Convenient Stay in Jingdezhen! I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Caoye Ziyou Hostel and had a truly wonderful, five-star experience. Its location is absolutely unbeatable, situated right near the Jingdezhen People Square and within the beautiful Taoyangli Scenic Area. This made exploring the city's key attractions, especially the ceramic culture sites, incredibly easy and convenient. Key Highlights: • Prime Location: Being in the Taoyangli Scenic Area means you step out right into a charming environment with local shops and historical ambiance. It's a fantastic base for sightseeing and soaking up the local atmosphere. • Comfortable & Unique Vibe: The hostel itself has a lovely, artistic, and relaxed atmosphere. It's well-maintained and feels very cozy. The common areas are great for relaxing and meeting other travelers. • Cleanliness: My room (or the general facilities) was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Everything felt fresh and well-cared for. • Friendly Staff: The staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming. They offered great local tips for dining and transportation, which significantly enhanced my trip. Their hospitality made me feel right at home. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! I highly recommend the Caoye Ziyou Hostel! For anyone visiting Jingdezhen, especially those interested in the history and art of ceramics, this hostel offers an excellent blend of convenience, comfort, and unique local charm. It's great value for money and a truly memorable place to stay.

The room was excellent, great value for money, and very clean with no unpleasant odors. The blankets were also very clean, the hot water was piping hot, and the room was spacious enough to be perfect for a solo traveler. It's also very close to the attractions.

The staff at the hostel was very kind and helped me with my luggage. I stayed 7 nights so I feel that I was able to make a fair assessment. The hostel was clean overall and well taken care of. There was no smoke odor in the room which made the stay more pleasant. My only complaint is that the hostel did not provide a foot mat for the shower in the private rooms which I feel is very dangerous as someone can slip and fall while coming out of the shower. Most hostels also provide water bottles for the private rooms but this one did not. The amenities are very basic but the attitude and service is good which is why I would return.

The place was very clean and close to the scenic area. The owners, a husband and wife, were also very friendly and welcoming. The food they cooked was reasonably priced and delicious. The only downside was that there were graves right behind the house, very close by. I was startled when I opened the window. In the end, I negotiated with the owners to change to a room closer to the front, which had better sunlight, but I had to pay extra.

I rarely write reviews, but I really want to write something about this youth hostel. I hope that this place that can give us warmth and the strength to start anew can continue to exist so gently. An Bar is located by the Le'an River. When I first saw it, it felt a bit old. A short white wall surrounds a courtyard. The houses in the courtyard are scattered in height. The tallest building has a two-story gatehouse style building with typical Anhui-style eaves. There are a few weeds growing on the top of the eaves. It's a little dilapidated, but it also adds to the ancient feel of the yard. A big ”shore” character stands directly above the eaves. There are many rooms in the house, and the guest rooms are all on the second floor. Entering the long corridor, with green walls on both sides, it looks like a college apartment. Suddenly, it seems like traces of time are pouring in. Whether you are a student or not, you will feel inexplicably friendly. The house near the yard, whether it is a single room or not, has a small balcony. There is a hanging chair on the balcony, hung with star-shaped lanterns that will light up at night; the banana leaves in the yard are stretched out, and on a rainy night, you can wrap yourself in the hanging chair and listen to the song ”Rain hits the banana...” There is also a large public balcony on the second floor, and the first floor is equipped with a living room for watching TV, a small study room and a tea room with large floor-to-ceiling windows. In the afternoon of early winter, the sun can shine in the teahouse until half past four, and then it gradually disappears into the distant bridge... The public activity area of ​​the entire youth hostel is very large. There are not many guests in the current season. As long as you are in a relaxed mood, you can spend several sunny days in this small courtyard and the riverside outside the door, and you will not feel bored. . There is a large stone monument standing by the river, which records the unprecedented flood in 2017. This small yard was also invaded at that time... Fortunately, it has been tidied up again and stands gently again. Here, we provide every wandering, leisurely or lost traveler with a safe resting point and a light that can light up even in the dark night.

I had a nice stay at the hostel, even it was a bit crowded and there was only one bathroom for females, so there was a bit of waiting time sometimes. But there was a kitchen you could use, which is great and the hostel was really cozy arranged. The location was also really nice, just a short walk to the metro station and also just a short metro ride to get to downtown and major attractions.

Across the road is the entrance to the Jiangwan Scenic Area. Behind the B&B is a river, so the location is excellent. Parking at the door is convenient, the decoration facilities are new, the young people like the light luxury style, the price is affordable, the boss is enthusiastic, he will say hello when entering and leaving, and he will help with luggage when checking in and out. This is the most satisfying homestay in Jiangxi.

Overall, the price is still more cost-effective in the off-season, but many rooms have mahjong tables. Do you understand that so many people in Lichuan play mahjong? Therefore, the room is crowded every day, the overall health environment Liu is general, very strong smell of smoke! People who are sensitive to odor should choose carefully. There is no separation of dry and wet in the bathroom, and the quality of toothbrushes and disposable slippers is very poor, very cheap!

I had a very satisfying stay. The hostel is in a great location, close to the subway station and major attractions, with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. The place is clean and tidy, the beds are comfortable, and there's plenty of hot water. The owner and staff are very enthusiastic and always willing to help with any issues. The common areas have a relaxed atmosphere, where you can meet like-minded people. It's excellent value for money, highly recommended.

The room was clean, the owner provided excellent service, and the dining options were convenient. It was also very close to Hongcheng Market, making it a worthwhile stay.
