Hostels σε Fujian, China

Overall, it was very good! 1. The environment is nice, very clean, and quiet. Everyone is very considerate; the doors are spring-loaded, so they close slowly and quietly. The room doors don't quite close all the way on their own, so you need to give them a gentle push, which might make a slight sound. There are also common areas for eating takeout and chatting, as eating is not allowed in the rooms and strong-smelling food isn't allowed in common areas. 2. The facilities are excellent, with plenty of showers and toilets. There are also about four hairdryers, and a makeup area not only with stools but also hangers, shower caps, bath towels, cotton swabs, and makeup remover wipes – very thoughtful. 3. The service is very responsive; when you arrive, they'll show you to your room and explain the layout. 4. In terms of cleanliness, the rooms are cleaned almost daily by staff, and the showers and toilets are cleaned every day. There's always plenty of toilet paper, so no worries there. 5. For transportation, there are BRT and bus stops nearby, which is very convenient. 6. A quick note: if you're staying for two days or more, there's a laundry area with a washing machine and detergent pods, as well as a place to hang clothes to dry, so you can bring extra outfits. Also, you'll need to bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, and cup. Toothbrushes are available at the front desk for about 2 yuan each. The only downsides are that the pillows are too high and uncomfortable, and the disinfectant smell in the bathrooms and showers is very strong, making them feel a bit stuffy and not well-ventilated. Also, the drying area is not separated by gender.

I'll definitely come back to Hai Le Xin! I came to Dongshan Island on a whim, but I met some wonderful people. I originally planned to stay only two days, but the atmosphere was so wonderful I stayed four! I told my friends that my few days here were more fulfilling than my freshman semester. There's the incredibly active Boss Ye, who calls me ”sister” every day and organizes activities for us to watch the sunrise. There's Director Pan, who taught me how to swim and play the electronic organ. There's the chef, who takes me swimming and gives me massages. There's Sister Ting, who takes me to the beach and treats me to beef ball noodles. There's Sister Yan, who noisily feeds me rice cakes. There's Jianhui, who thinks women can slow down driving. There's the drunkard who drinks Budweiser. There's also Boss Yang, who plays the piano next door. It's a lovely bunch! And Director Huang and Director Zhu! As Boss Ye said, it's not the sunrise that's romantic, it's the people at Hai Le Xin. It's a bit of a shame that I promised the chef to stay for dinner on the last day before leaving, but I left early. My time at Hai Le Xin was the happiest time of my summer vacation, besides the Ten Qintian concert in Nanchang. Finally, I wish everyone a happy day, fewer worries, and a good night's sleep! I wish Hai Le Xin will prosper and become bigger and stronger! I wish the boss a prosperous business, abundant wealth, and more and more handsome!

The place is clean and tidy, and the location is convenient. The staff are friendly and helpful. Both the owner and the employees are great, and they offer free hot tea. The lobby is spacious and has small desks for studying or relaxing.

A place full of love! The best hostel I have ever been to (across Asia America and Europe) Located in the ancient district of Quanzhou so convenient to go most of the spots Holds a big lobby where has film screening and all kinds of activities every night Welcoming front desk and I reaaaaaaaly like her. Brought me into the community and share me everything interesting about Quanzhou Most of the volunteers there used to be the guests (proof for how lovely the community is!) and all thanks to Xinyue, Qiuqiu, Cici, Weiwei, Hongmei, A-Jun, Ms Lin, Bro Cong, and Sis Nan, such an unforgettable memory with you guys in Quanzhou!

The environment is nice, though it's a bit hard to spot for first-timers, hahaha. It was drizzling, and I almost walked too far (it's actually on a street in P1). They were very considerate of those who came home late or woke up early and needed to shower and blow-dry their hair, which was great! Personally, I'm a night owl, so I'd sit at the table outside the room for a long time to rest. In the early morning, one of the two cats was particularly eager to be petted—so adorable! The quadruple room was quite small, and since I had a short and busy trip, I stayed on the lower bunk. The bed was absolutely perfect—clean and comfortable. Unpacking your suitcase in the room inevitably makes noise, so when I left, I put it on the small balcony outside the door to pack everything. The locker provided, which opens with the room card, was also quite noisy, so I didn't use it much (sweat). When I checked in, they added the youth hostel on WeChat and sent me a lot of anti-fraud information and other Xiamen-related information. I went to a satay noodle shop recommended by the youth hostel, and it was delicious! It’s not sky-high priced. I bought it for a little over 22 yuan on Dianping.com, and after having plenty of toppings and refills on the noodles, I was very full.

The room is damp and musty. These can be tolerated, but the public activity area is outside the room. It is still holding a symposium after half of Lingdian. It is also necessary to consider that everyone's work and rest time is different. I have lived in many youth travels. Other accommodations and activities are separated. If you can change it, it would be fine. The store was very enthusiastic. I originally booked for 2 nights. I changed the place directly the next morning. The nervous person was not suitable.

Nice place with a very responding owner, never had to wait more than a minute to get a reply on WeChat. The place is hard to find but if you contact the owner on WeChat, he'll send you detailed instructions on how to find the place. The location is good, near a metro station and not far from the old French quarters. Many options for food just downstairs.

This was my first time staying in a hostel, and overall it was great. Of course, you meet some rather…peculiar people. The owner of the shoes was even more difficult and 'flavorful' than her shoes. Let's call her – The Upstairs Bunk Double-Standard Dorm Monitor, and here's the story: “I arrived at the hostel a little after 11 PM. After my upstairs bunkmate and I both finished showering, we returned to our respective beds. I immediately started organizing the contents of my backpack, which were simple: clothes and disposable toiletries. The whole process took less than five minutes, but during this time, my bunkmate started making various impatient noises, expressing her displeasure with ‘you’re too loud’ and other small actions and sounds. I immediately put down what I was doing and lay down. Even then, she continued to toss and turn and grumble from above. To be honest, the car noises from outside the window and other people showering in the bathroom were much louder than any sound I made. Even after midnight, someone in the room made a phone call with their ringer on, and I didn't see her being so 'righteous' then (though I can't rule out the possibility that she was the one making the noise, as I really couldn't tell the difference). What's even funnier is that after she 'reminded' me, she herself was watching videos and laughing… Even funnier than her herself is that the Upstairs Bunk Double-Standard Dorm Monitor started her noisy ruckus the next morning around 6 AM. Her entire morning routine lasted twenty minutes, and the scene could be described as incredibly lively. Perhaps the Upstairs Bunk Double-Standard Dorm Monitor had a more important future to rush to, so she couldn't bother with her own double standards 🥹

The room for 4 people was not noisy, and the boss was very nice. Xiang introduced in detail how to travel, the surroundings of the hotel, restaurants, how to travel by bus, how to go to scenic spots, how to take the train, and how to take the bus. I took the Wuyishan bus for free when I traveled. , regardless of locals, foreigners, adults and senior citizens, free of charge.
