Harbin Kazy International Youth Hostel

Perfect location within walking distance of the main street and easy to catch a taxi outside. Hostel has a great, relaxed, friendly vibe, with comfy lounge and coffee area. Amenities are cheap and in plentiful supply. The staff try their best to help you and tickets to local attractions are available. Room security was good. No outside noise. Honestly, you couldn't ask for much more; it ticks all the basic boxes.

There's no hostel specific problems. At the end of the day it's a hostel in a less touristy part of China. The communal toilets are squatters, the room had a cold draft from the window, the walls are pretty thin, the beds (as is common throughout China and Asia generally) are rock hard and the level of English isn't brilliant. But this is all to be expected so don't complain that this is all the hostel's fault, because it's not.

Really good budget hostel, the reception staff was friendly and very helpful, the floor and communal bathroom get cleaned everyday. The mattress might be a bit hard for some (i slept well), but the room was well heated, the location is very central, so all together comfortable stay.
