Kong Yiji Chun Girls Youth Hostel (Guangzhou East Railway Station)

Unfortunately I didn't have the best experience in here. The address is not super accurate as there isn't a door number on it (nor on the actual door) and there was no obvious signs or anything in a language I could understand, so I had no idea where the hostel was and how to find it. After a lot of back and forth with the person managing it, I finally found it. When I found the hostel, I got in, and there was no one there to do a check in, someone just showed me where my room was, and I had to figure out which bed was unoccupied, the manager sent me a message saying where to get bedding from and that was it. I also had to message her again to get the WiFi password. I went out at night, and when I got back, I had no way to get in. The door was code secured, and no one ever gave me the code, so once again, I had to message the manager to ask for the code so I wouldn't stay locked out. If she was sleeping or my Internet didn't work, I wouldn't have been able to get back in the hostel. In the morning, it was very difficult to use the bathroom as theres only a single bathroom shared between nearly 18 girls. The bathroom is a mess and dirty. I tried to make myself breakfast in the kitchen, but there was no crockery, cutlery or utensils, so it wasn't possible (I literally just needed 1 bowl/mug and a spoon, nothing else and still I couldn't fine it) Therefore, I wouldn't recommend it. It is very disorganised and badly run with no one to do a formal check-in and give the basic information you need to stay there and the small 3 rooms flat was not made to host 18 people at the same time. Positives: They let me leave my luggage there during the day while I explored Guangzhou, and the location is somewhat decent, with lots of businesses around and 25minutes walk to 2 or 3 different metro stations.

The place is best value for the money. The building is at a secure place and is close to many restaurants and the street. The host is very nice and the cats are a cherry on top. I highly recommend.

It’s really nice place to stay, all the girls are nice and the place is clean. The lady clean the place 2-3times per day. Will come back again next time

Good hostel for 1-2 nights. Clean and comfortable. Very friendly atmosphere. The owner is a good girl. Location is pretty convenient

I found the price to be affordable, but unfortunately, I was disappointed with the condition of the toilet. It was very smelly and dirty, which made my stay uncomfortable. I provided feedback to the owner about the issue, but their response was rather disappointing as they denied any smell. I hope they take guest feedback more seriously in the future to improve the overall experience for others. While the price was affordable, I still believe basic cleanliness and hygiene should be maintained. Even with budget accommodations, it’s reasonable to expect a certain level of cleanliness for a comfortable stay. I hope the owner takes this feedback constructively and makes improvements for future guests.

A little hard to find but once you find it getting around is easy. It’s a girls only hostel so I find it pretty safe to stay
