Service was good, allowed an early check in and extra night without much trouble, the place is very social and an extremely good location The only thing I would say is the bathrooms. This is not coming from a foreigner that is not used to squat bathrooms. They were just very dirty and smelled like urine all day. Only one shower for a whole floor One of the toilet doors wouldn’t close

Don't expect a luxurious accommodation, but you can enjoy a real hiking hostel vibe. (Which is, from my point of view, even better). The owner doesn't speak English, but with the help of Google translate and some other guests, he gave me recommendations for hiking in the area. The location is also great, right at the end of the old town. The place felt really cozy, like a second home

Located at the entrance of the old town. Hot water but not very good bathroom and it’s missing toilet paper. You also had to make your own bed but otherwise the dormitory is comfortable.

Social vibe and super helpful staff. The prefect place if you want to go hiking around Shangrila. They will help you organize driving and give you recommendations.

Nice hostel, good location and comfy hang out area. Bathroom could be cleaner though. No toilet paper provided and the mattress is quite thin (even for Chinese standards)
