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.

The Yujintai Youth Hostel is right next to the subway station, so you don't have to walk far to get around. I stayed on a high floor and had a great view of the river, which was lovely. The hygiene was good – the sheets and bedding were clean, and the restrooms and showers were always tidy with hot water available at all times. It's also convenient for food, with convenience stores and small restaurants nearby. Overall, it's not a luxurious place, but it's great value for money, hassle-free, and clean, making for a comfortable stay. It's perfect for anyone visiting Hangzhou for leisure or business.

Close to the station, more convenient

Booked it for a concert. It's not far from Dalianhua. It's just two subway stops away. There's a breakfast shop near the subway station. The room is OK. It's not too big, but it's enough for two people. It has everything you need. The soundproofing is average. I feel that few hotels have good soundproofing. It's acceptable for one night.

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.

This hostel is relatively affordable compared to others in the area, making it a great temporary place for us working travelers. The environment is pretty decent, and it's quite clean too.

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.
