Hangzhou Hostels

Pros: Nice hotel in a quiet street in the subburbs of Hangzhou, not far from the West Lake. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Possibility to rent electric bikes to visit the surroundings and the lake, unfortunately the small paths around the lake are forbidden for cycling. Staff at reception speaks English.

Pros: Superb location, amidst quiet neighborhood , 5min walk to Huagang park ( Pics attached, west edge of West lake). View from bedroom (pic attached). we were lucky to experience first snow fall during our stay. Super friendly staffs, Jeremy (speaks english), played snow fights with my 2 boys ( 8 and 5 yo) and Ms. Yue Zie is a 'Gem' who went all out to accompany my family for short tours during her off day and free time. She help us in making all the taxi/car booking even right after we left the hostel to Shanghai. Bought snacks for my 2 boys and we are so grateful for her hospitality and generosity. Evening spent talking to owner and shared good insights of China and the city. Simple and delicious breakfast prepared by 2 loving aunties to start the day and occasionally home made cakes n cookies during tea. Rooms are clean and as shown in pictures. Very homely and comfortable stay. We rented electric bikes from hostel to cycle the entire route around west Lake. We had a memorable and enjoyable stay in this hostel. Although, not many choices for convenient store, cafes and restaurant, but enough for simple needs. Food can be ordered from nearby local restaurants and delivered. Hopefully more restaurants will open. Car booking maybe a bit of hassle but great help from the staff. if you like nature walks and away from the typical hustle and bustle of city hotel and noise..this is perfect.

Pros: The place is really charming and cozy! My room was clean, and although it was small it had everything I needed. The staff is amazing, super friendly and do what they can to help you. Breakfast is really good too, I chose the Chinese version and was very happy with the quantity, variety of food, and delicious taste. I would definitely recommend it to a friend!

Pros: Excellent location, right by the West Lake. You can cover most of the West Lake on foot. Well connected through public transport. You get a bus in any direction within 700m walking distance. Decent fixed breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff who speak a bit of English which is a rarity in that region and must be taken into consideration while choosing the property. Couple of decent restaurants around which is a big relief especially late evenings. Bathroom was equipped with some basic toiletries. There was also a mosquito repellant liquid vaporizer which is required in the area

Pros: Very helpful staff, nice quiet location

Pros: There is an outdoor bath tub so that I can enjoy an outdoor bath and have my privacy as well.

Pros: The location couldn´t be better for us, with hills, tee plantations and buddhist temples behind the corner.

Pros: Lovely and friendly staff, perfect location, free breakfast and welcome drink, everything clean and modern and ooh boy, those beds were amazing! Never had a better bed in a hostel! Also I do not recommend for very tall people, I am 183cm and I think if I would be a bit taller I would struggle w space.

Pros: Location is amazing, so is hostel itself. The bathroom were very clean. Bed were comfortable, lockers huge, room really specious.

Pros: The property was in the middle of all the sights. Close to the west lake. The staff went above and beyond for us and arranged a taxi transportation for the day to a Watertown nearby which we really wanted to visit. I can recommend Nanxun water town to everyone!! The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Upon arrival received a voucher for a free drink which was a nice touch. Will definitely stay again.

Pros: I really enjoyed my stay. I arrived late as I got lost on the way but people from the hostel were very kind and helped me out. It was a great experience! I had a really nice time!

Pros: Didn't had breakfast because I totally overslept. The location is good and the stay is super affordable. Most of the rooms provided are enough for 3 people to stay. It is a good short stopover for a night or two.

Pros: Really nice place to stay, nice staff is always really to help

Pros: Staff is very kind and welcoming, the tent was comfortable and their breakfast was very good.

Pros: The guy at the reception is great! He helped us change our rooms from the dorms to a private room with bathroom (small double room a) after we realised we weren't comfortable with the dorms. He also helped us with directions and problems we had.

Pros: Very good localisation, especially if you intend to use public bikes (unfortunately, you need to have a Hangzhou City Card), cause a hub is only five minutes on foot. Very nice and helpful people, even though most of them do not speak English (fortunately, we have translators). Unfortunately, a man mentioned in earlier comments, who speaks English really fluently, has just moved to another province (I've been lucky, cause it happened just after my check-out), but the owner can also speak communicatively, which in comparison to typical Chinese accommodation is a big thing.

Pros: The staff are so nice and kind, they helped me a lot to find location and bus, taxi. It is quite clean and the price of food is cheap

Pros: None

Pros: Location was good once you realised that the address (if copied into Google Maps) leads you 20 minutes walking in the wrong direction. Use Baidu maps ;) It's in a slightly remote part of the West Lake but that's kind of the point. But above all else, the staff were really, really kind. I could leave my bag during the day after checking out. Laundry service was extra nice.

Pros: The bed were really comfortable except one that did not have a mattress but only a mattress overlay ! Except that, great location, well served by bus. We could also rent bikes for a cheap price and take a tour to the the Lake. The room was very lovely, warm and the decoration was nice. We felt very comfortable !

Pros: The staff was really really helpful, even when my flight got delayed and finally landed in the middle of the night.

Pros: very good environment for family trip, especially for kid, clean and comfort

Pros: Great Place to stay in hanghzou. You can walk to the westlake and the scenic area, a bit far away from the next Metro station. Super friendly Staff which Helped us a lot, eventhough they did not speak english. Nice rooms, more like a Hotel. We would definetly recommend a stay

Pros: Everything as the location was excellent the room was fantastic and the lady owner really helpful in every respect

Pros: friendly staff

Pros: The front desk manager is very helpful, he arranged a taxi for us when we decided to go to the station. The location is very convenient to explore the lake and the surrounding areas. The room is comfortable and the beds are hard and good.

Pros: Quality to price ratio is great, i paid around 500 yuans for 2 days, cant complain about anything, really nice staff/crew. I got helped with carrying down my luggage when I was exhausted, and they tried to help me with everything. Wi-fi is free and pretty good quality. The surroundings are really nice, its located next to beautiful lake and bamboo forest and the most important next to yuquan campus which can be useful for students who arrivated too late to check in the dormitory

Pros: Unbeatable location. It is located in a small neighborhood with dozens of restaurants, bars and public bicycles to get to the west lake and surrounding areas within 60 minutes and enjoy fresh air.

Pros: Woman working front desk was very friendly and spoke a little English. The location was great! On a side street closed to cars, along a canal. We walked to west lake and it was very pleasant.
