Seal Youth Hostel

This was one of my favourite hostels I've stayed in in China. Although it takes a little while to go up all the steps, this is the beauty of the town - it's all on a hill! And the views are amazing. I loved how the amenities were on the outside balcony - there was even a home gym! I went during the off season so there was no-one else, but it seemed very friendly vibes given all the other amenities, like the piano and guitar downstairs. As it was the off-season there was no reception person which meant I did find it a bit hard to get in or ask people for help but they were very responsive on trip.com and the neighbours were friendly (although the big dog downstairs didn't seem to like me). Be warned in the winter most of rural Guizhou doesn't have central heating however they provide heated sheets for you which was lovely. Overall DEFINITELY recommend.

The room was fantastic, clean and big enough and the location of the hotel is in the tipical narrow streets going upstairs from the commercial street. Bad things: The bed was very big but the duvet was really small, it didn't cover the whole bed, Other bad thing is that they have a dog that barks a lot during the night.

Nice little hostel. Good value.
