Harbin Xingsu Youth Hostel

if I come again in near future, I choose here and stay here again..near the train metro zhongyang street stn, walking distance to zhongyang street and sophia cathedral..I love it..thank you for your firm hospitalities and the host waiting me at midnight for check in🥰😍

The accomodation is basic and clean. The toilet and shower room use a frosted type of glass so you might need to consider it if you are share with opposite gender. Hot shower, heater, hairdryer was all good. There are no elavator so if you have a big luggage you can ask help to carry your luggage to the upper floor. Location is a full mark for me as the Zhangdajie Exit 1 Metro is just across the road from the hostel. Hongzhuan Morning Market is just two blocks behind and Zhongyang Street is a 5minute walk. For those wanting halal food, there is a halal eatery just around the corner of this block and there is also Dada Mosque. You can take the metro to Harbin Mosque statuon which is 4 stops away for 2Yuan. Sundry shop are just across the road if you need to buy anything. I would recommend this place for those looking for a budget stay and that will be spending most of the times outdoors as this room is an the smaller size.

I love the location of this hostel. It was just right across the Zhongyang Street subway stop (Line 2). If you go to the Ice and Snow World Park, that's only three stops away for only, if I remember right, RMB 2. Make sure to read/check the other reviews for photos of the gate that will lead you to the door of this hostel. I arrived in the morning, about 10 a.m., and was welcomed by JP. After sorting out my things, I left my luggage to head to the Ice and Snow World Park where I stayed until 5 p.m. I took the subway back to Zhongyang Street. I planned on walking from there to Saint Sophia Cathedral but it was too cold for me. I live in Beijing but I am originally from the Philippines so even if I was dressed warm - thermal clothes, hot packs, several layers, downjacket, scarves, beanies, ear muffs - it was still brrrr cold! I took a Didi car from there to the cathedral and spent about 30 minutes there and then went back to the hostel. There was a social night going on downstairs but I was so beat that day I just decided to rest. I briefly interacted with a lady from Singapore named Megan. The following day, I walked from the hostel to Hongzhuan Morning Market which is a culture of its own. Come hungry and happy! From there, I took a Didi to go to the No. 6 factory of Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Holding Co. It is dubbed as the "Louvre of the East" but having visited the Louvre itself, it doesn't really come close. I think the moniker just came from the fact that there are several paintings and art collection in the building and the area outside feels a bit like you're in Europe. Another Didi ride got me to Lao Daowai or the Chinese Baroque Street then another Didi to Central Street. Don't miss these two as they are filled with worthy buildings and spots to marvel, photograph of or buy trinkets from. Harbin was the last stop of my northeastern China winter sojourn. Will I come back? Maybe. Will I stay in this hostel? Maybe. I like the arrangement of the beds in this 16-people dorm for girls but the bathroom is a squat toilet and I don't like that. If I ever stay here again, I will choose the rooms with Western-style toilets.

Very nice and very good see you again in next time.Thank you so much

The location was perfect, near to metro and shop.easy to find food.

Overall acceptable for a hostel. Kudos to the team for letting us check in early like around 9am kind of early. IT MADE OUR DAY! we just arrived via an overnight train. To armour up from the cold and using the toilet facilities before we set out for our first itinerary. Very convenient location. Near to Central street. Opposite line 2 which brings us directly to harbin snow and ice world. Walked to the cathedral too. The bedsheets and towel had stains. But I saw them literally changing the bedsheets and taking new towel so it was fine. Toilet was inside the room. Not sure if the floor mat was not given to us due to the rushed cleaning. So it was kind of wet after we showered. No towels was given -＞ probably forgotten but we asked and they gave. No hand soap -＞ not an issue just use the body wash as soap Not enough power plugs and just 1 side table -＞ just have to make do and switch out the things that require power plug eg boiling water charging hair dryer and so on. Hair dryer was provided but I brought my own.
