Lvxiao Erqing Hotel (West Lake Hubin Ding'an Road Subway Station)

Love this room type! It offers privacy and fits within my budget. Even though the room is small but it got great storage area and individual air conditioning.

If you’re after a no‑frills, budget‑friendly base in the very heart of Hangzhou, this hostel nails it. The metro entrance is literally beneath the building, so you can zip across the city—or reach the train station—in minutes, and West Lake is an easy stroll away. Dorms and privates are straightforward but tidy: sturdy bunks, roomy lockers, and air‑conditioning that actually works. Shared bathrooms are impressively clean, with hot showers around the clock. Common areas—a small lounge and communal kitchen—are basic yet well kept, perfect for whipping up a quick bowl of noodles or swapping tips with fellow travelers. Bottom line: unbeatable location, backpacker prices, and above‑average cleanliness. If you want to explore Hangzhou without draining your wallet, this hostel is an efficient, hassle‑free choice.

Overall, I had a pleasant stay at this capsule hotel! The compact space works perfectly for solo travelers - clean bedding, smart overhead storage for backpacks (though maybe challenging with large luggage 😅). Quick heads-up for improvement: 1️⃣ The mattress felt a bit too firm for my liking. A thicker one would be more comfortable 2️⃣ PLEASE check the shower floors! The slippery surface and yellowish stains nearly made me do an accidental split 😬 (ended up with a bruised elbow from bracing against the wall). A good scrub and non-slip mat would make the bathroom 100% safer! That said, loved the thoughtful touches like the hairdryer and generally clean facilities. With these tweaks, this capsule would be absolutely golden! ✨

Very friendly and helpful, slept very well, beds simple but good for the price

Great location, the staff are helpful, and the room is clean. Highly recommended for staying here.

We stayed in the queen bedroom and found it to be clean and nice. The hostel is in a fantastic location, close to the subway and just a short distance from the West Lake. Although we didn’t use the lobby, it looked like a great spot for those wanting to relax and socialize. My only critique would be regarding the electrical outlets; there’s only one convenient option, and it wasn’t working reliably with some of our chargers. Overall, a great stay!
