Find Top Hostels in Hangzhou

Last week I saw that the weather in Hangzhou was good, so I set off immediately. I saw this very affordable hotel the night before and decided to check it out. The hotel is about two to three hundred meters north on the northeast side of West Lake, and it is very convenient to travel by bicycle. Although the room is small and well-equipped, you can take a comfortable bath after a day of running around. The water pressure is high and the water temperature is suitable. However, the high humidity in the room that other guests have mentioned is unavoidable. It is recommended to turn on the air conditioner for a few hours to dehumidify when going out to play or eat. There are many scenic spots around the West Lake, but they are relatively scattered, and bicycles are prohibited on the lakeside. After more than two days of sightseeing, I still haven’t visited them all. But it’s worth taking a walk along Gushan Road-Baidu Line in the evening.

I chose this hostel for the Dawn concert on September 13th. It's about a ten-minute walk to Xiaolianhua. The front desk staff, both male and female, were polite and enthusiastic. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, with the shower on the left and the vanity on the right as you enter. The shower pressure was great, and the bed was clean. One of my roommates was smoking, but they stopped after I opened the window to air out the room. Overall, everyone was well-behaved and quiet. Everyone also gets an individual locker with a password lock. Other than a roommate's slightly messy suitcase and a few occasionally using instant noodle cups as ashtrays on the floor, everything else was really good.

Close to the station, more convenient

I had a great stay at this small but cozy hotel room. The overall atmosphere was very welcoming. The location was perfect—close to everything but still quiet enough for a restful night. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Would definitely stay here again!

This was the first hostel I stayed at in Hangzhou, and it's located near Wensan Road subway station, making transportation very convenient. It's right by Huanglong Times Square, with plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby. It's also very close to West Lake, and there are lots of shared bikes around. The hostel walls even have tips for exploring West Lake, along with cherished memories left by past guests. As for the accommodations, they offer blackout curtains, complimentary disposable toothbrushes and towels. The bathroom and shower are separated into wet and dry areas, but both are in the same public space for men and women. In the lobby, there's a free water dispenser with 24-hour hot water, and you'll even find cats and dogs hanging out there.

Facilities: The facilities are very complete, with private bathrooms and individual lockers. Slippers are disinfected and cleaned daily. There's a small snack bar with plenty of snacks and drinks, as well as washing machines and dryers – everything you need for travel. Cleanliness: It's very clean. The cleaning staff are diligent and clean daily, ensuring both the beds and common areas are spotless. You can always see them working hard to provide a clean environment for everyone here. Environment: The overall hotel style is quite appealing and unique. Interactions between guests are very harmonious; everyone drinks and plays games together. It's even more fun than college dorm life and well worth experiencing for anyone who enjoys reminiscing about their university days. Service: The service is exceptional. Both the front desk staff and the cleaning team are incredibly warm and attentive.

I was extremely disappointed with this hotel. They have a very strange visitor policy, specifically a complete ban on room entry without a passport (which requires an additional fee). My friend wanted to help me carry my things into the room, but the staff only allowed her in for 15 minutes. Afterward, we watched as the staff flatly refused to let other guests in (whose friends also wanted to help them carry their things). I have asthma and was extremely unhappy with the smoke-filled room and bedroom. I had several asthma attacks during the night, and I couldn't sleep well.

I chose this youth hostel for my job interviews in Hangzhou, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. The location is super convenient; it's just a few minutes' walk to both the subway station and a snack street, making it easy to get around and find food. They have separate floors for men and women, and there are surveillance cameras in the hallways, so I felt very safe staying alone. Each bed has a blackout curtain, a charging port, and a lockable locker, providing plenty of privacy once the curtain is drawn. The bathroom is a wet/dry separation, with 24-hour hot water, and the room has air conditioning, keeping it cool. The cleaning staff tidies up regularly, so there was no dampness or strange odors. The bedding is changed for every new guest, and the room is well-ventilated and dry, making for a very comfortable stay. The owner is really friendly and patiently helped with directions and luggage storage. The other guests were considerate, keeping quiet at night so as not to disturb anyone's rest. The price is budget-friendly, allowing you to stay cleanly and safely without spending much. It was perfect for resting up after a busy day. It offers great value for money and is ideal for temporary stays while job hunting. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town.

Once you've stayed here, you'll understand the phrase ”choosing a branch to perch on.” (This idiom means finding a good place to settle). The bedding is changed for every guest, and the duvet is soft with a clean, laundry-detergent scent. The shower is separated from the toilet, and the water pressure is great – you don't have to wait for the floor to dry before going in. The smart toilet is a game-changer for a hostel; once you sit down, you won't want to get up. 🎸 In the evening, someone plays guitar in the lobby. If you're chatty, you can gather around; if you don't feel like talking, just cozy up on the sofa and listen to the music – no one will make you feel awkward. 📍 It's a ten-minute walk from West Lake, and right next to a food street, so dining and accommodation are super convenient. Next time I'm in Hangzhou, I'll definitely stay here again.

Located in the West Lake Scenic Area, close to Tiger Run. The public area is quite large, with a courtyard.
