I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. It's quite new and modern, it feels like it was recently opened, and everything is fresh, clean, and well thought out. It's part of the Desti Hostel chain across China, and the quality definitely shows.
The hostel is cozy and has a lot of convenient features. There are shoe lockers where you can change your shoes, and everything works automatically with card access. There are washing machines and dryers that you can pay for via WeChat or Alipay, which is very handy. The staff are friendly, if you need hangers, just ask and they'll happily provide them.
The beds are very comfortable, and I had a room with windows facing the street. The neighborhood is quiet and cozy, which made it a pleasant place to rest after a long day of exploring.
A few small things could make this place even better. The rooms could use some hooks for hanging things, and for girls, at least one mirror would be really appreciated, it's just nice to have a place to look at yourself properly. A small table or at least a chair or two would also be helpful for putting your things down. The room has plenty of space for it, so it's a bit puzzling why it's not there. It would also be great to have a proper space for exercising: there isn't really anywhere to work out, since the common area and cafe aren't suitable for that, and the rooms don't always have enough space either.
Also, there isn't really a kitchen, so there's no way to store your own food in a fridge or cook for yourself. And there isn't really a proper place to dry clothes other than in your room. These are minor things, though, and didn't really affect my overall experience.
Overall, I recommend this hostel, it's a comfortable, well-equipped, and pleasant place to stay in Guangzhou. 🙏
