Hengxu Youth Hostel (Hangzhou East Railway Station)

a little hard to find the hostel although is near to Hangzhou railway but the staff was friendly

This was a decent stay for a short 2 days stop in hangzhou. Transport wise you are not too far (15 mins walk) from the nearest subway. Most people staying here are chinese (long term). So, it isn't your hostel hostel vibe. And during my time no one spoke English but everyone was friendly and curious. And it being a seperate accomodation for men meant the washrooms etc weren't amusing at all (stench). Reminded me of my days in school (boys dorm). As with most of China, no jet spray (health faucet) in toilets. There is a Starbucks and may be a western burger chain very nearby. Locally i found luckin cafe to be a nice place for my morning coffee. Chinese breakfast available at the small restaurant downstairs. Right, and there's one shower and toilet per flat (meant to be shared amongst 10 men). This is just information. Nothing meant to negatively portray the place. Also, I think if you don't find the place up to your expectations, know that it isn't the owner's fault at all. Because it's more to do with the people staying there. With limited language skills I did find it complicated to get around. I did go walking in all directions and weren't many local/cheap eateries around except for the one downstairs. But plenty of mall restaurants and cafe/fast food set ups. Some may qualify as local eateries if it suits your budget. The owner/manager was helpful and came by on the day of check-in and stayed in touch over we chat when needed. I was given a disposable napkin/towel. And the RFID card for entry into the building. The bed was okay and I think I slept about fine. I couldn't figure out if it is a building with offices or residential flats with people staying in there. It's got a mix sort of vibe. Overall quite a decent stay (I just came back to sleep late in the night). I would recommend this place, given the location (transport) and prices. Short stay shouldnt be a problem at all. Again I reiterate, the owner is very helpful and clearly doing his best to accomodate you comfortably.

Great stay , a little difficult to find the location but the inside is nice especially the amenities 。
