Hostels in Jiangsu, China

This is one of the largest hostels I've stayed in in recent years. The social common areas are also huge, but completely separate from the sleeping quarters, so they don't disturb your sleep at all. There are plenty of bathrooms and laundry facilities, so you never have to worry about them being insufficient. In the evening, I played some ball and chatted with some young students in the common area, reliving some college memories. That night, four US boys in my dorm were buying tickets to go out of town, and I even got to use my rusty English, which I haven't practiced in years. But these were all long-awaited experiences, bringing back the YHA student vibe I hadn't felt in years.

The location is fantastic, right by the Qinhuai River and Fuzi Temple, super easy to find, and surrounded by tons of great food options. The hotel itself is spacious, with a 24-hour front desk service. The staff at reception were incredibly kind and helpful. The lounge area is well-divided, with a reading corner, a chat area, and even a dedicated dining space with an open-plan kitchen. Oh, and this place has a huge terrace that's perfect for photos, plus a bar and coffee shop. The room decor is excellent too, with a large, very comfortable bed. Highly recommend!

This was my first time staying in a hostel, and it was much better than I expected. The hostel is conveniently located near a metro station, making it easy to get downtown. There's also a police station nearby, and all guests are female, which made me feel incredibly safe. It's clean and tidy, with excellent service. There's a common area where you can eat, and one wall is covered with heartfelt messages from previous female guests, many of which were quite touching. It offers great value for money, and I'd definitely come back. However, I wouldn't recommend it for those sensitive to noise, as it's like a university dorm with multiple people in one room. Since everyone has different schedules, some checking in late and others leaving early, some noise is unavoidable.

The hotel's design is really impressive, and I had a fantastic experience. Everyone should definitely come and check it out! Being on a high floor allowed me to see far into the distance through the window, which really lifted my spirits. The staff were all incredibly friendly, proactive, and enthusiastic, and even helped me with a small issue. 😁

The front desk staff were incredibly helpful! They patiently answered all my travel questions and even helped me plan my itinerary. The common areas had a fantastic vibe – I spent evenings chatting and playing games with people from all over the world, and it never felt awkward. The facilities were very thoughtful, with a washing machine, dryer, and free drinking water all readily available; they really paid attention to the details. Excellent value for money! I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit and have already recommended it to my friends!

The owners are incredibly welcoming, and they have a very friendly black dog you can play fetch with. The place was fully booked that day, but the owner still offered a complimentary upgrade to a private room. The overall environment is lovely, featuring a small garden where you can swing. The rooms are also very cozy, giving you the feeling of stepping back into a quaint small town from over a decade ago. However, the cleanliness of the bathrooms and washrooms left something to be desired, making it perhaps best suited for guests who aren't too particular about their hygiene facilities.

Location: Very close to Zhenjiang Railway Station, just across the street, a 10-15 minute walk. Located in Changfa Plaza, next to Wanda Plaza. Convenient shopping; there's a large supermarket, ”Changshen Supermarket,” in the basement; Changfa Plaza has many restaurants, including Haidilao and Yong'an Fish Restaurant, and even plenty of street food stalls, catering to various price ranges. Environment & Facilities: The hostel is on the 4th floor of Building 5, easy to find with the map provided by the owner. The total area isn't large, but it's well-equipped. Upon entering, there's a common lounge area, small but complete with sofas, a dining table, a refrigerator, microwave, water dispenser, and a washing machine. Attention to detail is also evident, with a dedicated slipper sterilizer and ample clothes hangers. There are two shower rooms for women, even with shower gel and shampoo. There's only one squat toilet, but since there aren't many guests and everyone has different schedules, it's sufficient. All rooms have bunk beds, the difference being between four-person and eight-person rooms. There are approximately 3-4 rooms each for men and women. Each bed comes with a strip lamp, a small cabinet, a charging socket, disposable toothbrush/toothpaste, and earplugs. The only slight drawback is the lack of storage space for large luggage; you have to put it under the bed or simply toss it on the bed. The walkway outside allows you to get some sun, and there's a clothes rack where you can hang your clothes to dry. A bookshelf separates the entryway from the rest area. The bookshelf actually has many worthwhile books; putting down your phone and choosing a book is a pleasant experience. Most of the guests are young people with different schedules, so we didn't interact much. On the first night, I met a girl who bought fruit to share with everyone; the second night, I met a girl who couldn't get a train ticket to Suzhou and had to take a ferry from Yangzhou to Zhenjiang. I shared my Zhenjiang travel tips with them, hoping everyone had a pleasant trip. In summary: A very nice hostel where you can feel free and undisturbed, perfect for solo travelers.

First the highlights: perfect location! Directly at the metro station and well connected to the main attractions of Suzhou. Plus, the staff helped me to order things from *******, quite helpful. The room and bed were clean as well! Now, the downside to consider: there are not enough showers/toilets. The bathroom was really disgusting in the end. There's also some noise from outside, but that didn't bother me so much.

Location is good and easy to find. 2 min away from metro. Downsyates there is a Starbucks and McDonald’s. The common area is huge. Cleanliness in common area is okay but rooms are cleaned every day. Everything on the same floor. Most hostel mates are long time living here

It was a great experience. The hostel is very easy to find. The hostess at the front desk speaks English very well and was very nice and friendly. I have stayed in a 4 beds female room for one night. The room was great, it provided sleepers, sheets and even had air conditionning. The showers are okay. The good point was having products in the shower : shampoo, hair conditioner, body wash and even a cleanser for the face ! It was very calm the night that I have stayed. The common space is nice and cozy. I didn't but you can order drinks or brekfast there. It is close to the subway, just a few steps from the bus stop, there a plenty of restaurants in the street and a supermarket across the road. I highly recommend this hostel.
