Changsha Hostels

Pros: Large public space for players to playing and relaxing, good to make new friends.

Cons: I love it all, it would be better to have more light in some corner.

Pros: It was cheap. If you only stay one night it’s fine, but for more then that I would not recommend it. but even though room size is also quite big.

Cons: The room was clean, but there was quite some mould around on the walls. As well as one of our towels looked more like a Swiss cheese than an actual towel. The staff was friendly, but they were not motivated to recommend a restaurant or a taxi to the train station.

Pros: The price was low, and the location was a quick 2rmb bus ride and a short walk away from the center.

Cons: The beds were too hard

Pros: Not bad location.

Cons: Horribly cold in the winter, the room has a small heater which does nothing to heat the room. It was absolutely frigid in the room. The toilets have no heat either, steam comes on the toilet when you use it. Only squat toilets available. Staff not particularly helpful either. Do not recommend at all.

Pros: Beds are nice, rooms are comfortable and clean and the staff is very nice. I only stayed for one night but if I'm coming back to Changsha I would stay here again.

Cons: I couldn't find the hostel and was lost for a while because the maps location is wrong as usual.

Pros: The staff helped me as much as they could but it just made things very difficult with the language barrier. Admittedly I haven't bothered to learn any Chinese, maybe I should have. They looked after my laptop while I went to zhangjiajie for 4 days as I didn't want to take it. Although I did wonder if they thought I gave it to them as a gift at one point, and I'd never see it again. Luckily this didn't happen. The reception are is very nice with many seats to relax and they have a movie nights on a big pull down screen.

Cons: No toilets, only squatting. The ones upstairs were very dirty. No English speking staff, in fact no English speaking anybody. Everyone was Chinese I felt quite isolated in what should be an international youth hostel. Spent 2 days in Changsha and I genuinely believe I was the only tourist in the city. Not a great place to stay on your travels.

Pros: The quick response and kindness of the staff

Cons: Cigarette smoke everywhere throughout the building even can reach inside rooms

Pros: The dorm was 4 for people whereas I booked a 6 bed room. There is a terrace outside with birds so very cosy environment Location is great to go explore the mountain by foot or to go to the city center as we were not so far away from the metro. I did not talk so much with the landlords but they were really helpful. The man/husband can speak very good English.

Cons: The shared bathroom contained 2 squat toilet serving as well as shower place separated by a wall... I don't think the number of bathrooms was sufficient if the dorms were full.,,but for 2 days that was OK for me Beware if you have big luggages that there are stairs to reach the lobby. The hostel could better indicated outside with some signs but I found my way in. Beware that you cannot come back anytime in the evening as they close the entrance door at 10 PM.(if I well understood but I always came back before that time). After you will have to wake up them by calling them.

Pros: I really liked everything about the property. Although i booked the place alone and had my own room. My boyfriend who lives here was able to come and stay with no issues.

Cons: The only thing I didn’t like was that I had to call the owners to open the door after a certain time. So there should be a keypad or something we could use our room cards to get in.

Pros: Good price

Cons: The staff don t speak English

Pros: The best was definitely the location And the terrace which was nice to chill on

Cons: I don’t really understand how the hostel got such a good review. There were only two bathrooms, which didn’t really matter in my case since the hostel was quiet empty. Boths with two toilets and two showers, but who goes to toilet with someone else. When I took the shower I needed to take care that I’m not stepping into the toilet, because the shower is almost directly over the hole. I couldn’t put my clothes anywhere where they could have stayed dry. Toilets had no toilet paper. On the pictures the hostel looks modern and new but I think there were good chinese filters used when the photos were taken. The bed was hard but that’s obviously often in China. All in all the whole place should have been cleaner. Furthermore, it was weird that obviously the mother of the owner, who took over his work, stayed in the same room with me. All together after all I was a little disappointed. It’s not that you can’t stay there for a night, but I expected better.

Pros: I loved the location. As someone who has lived in Changsha for a year previously I think this place has a great location and offers great benefits for the price. Yes it’s a hostel but they offer single queen rooms for a great deal and definitely cheaper than you’d ever pay in your home country if you’re coming from the west!

Cons: There’s nothing I disliked about the property

Pros: Simple but clean hostel, opposite of metro station, maybe 5 minutes walking. Some shops and restaurants just on the corner. Bathrooms were all the times clean. Nice rooftop terrace. Family running place also very friendly. Cleaning lady super cute.

Cons: Hard bed but for the price actually OK.

Pros: Nice staff and location

Cons: Toilet and faucet was leaking water...

Pros: The beds were decent and the price was cheap.

Cons: The bathrooms weren't clean and it's a little difficult to navigate and talk with the staff if you're a foreigner.
