Reviews of Nilv Flower Time International Youth Hostel

After being terrified by plenty of hostels around China, I finally found this place – home. Plenty of guests extend their stay, from days to weeks and months, and keep coming back even after that. If you are looking for a place to relax, recover or to just breathe, then this might be a place for you. There are plenty of things to do in and around Jianshui. You could rent a bicycle here and visit Tuanshan on a daytrip, for example. You won't regret staying here.

The room is clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. The staff is very friendly and helpful and even gave us some extra bottles of water when we left the hostel the next day. The location is perfect to go for some sightseeing in the old town. There are also many restaurants and small supermarkets nearby.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere overall especially at night. We rented bikes for 10 yuan and went to the twin dragon bridge n Tuan Shan. Fun n easy. Great ride next to river. Room was small n shower was not great but water was hot. Room was run down a bit. Great price

The guesthouse was well located and the staff was really nice. They gave me fruits and water and we're very considerate.

We stayed in the twin bed room. The window was looking at a wall. Staff was friendly and the lounge area was nice and cozy

It's a hostel with a very homely environment. The manager will invite you to drink tea with him, the courtyard is a very chill area to hang out in and even spend all day to the sound of flowing water and surrounded by plants. There is a kitchen available too, and the manager brings water from the well daily for the use of the guests. The dorm was comfortable and the lower beds have curtains but the upper ones don't. The manager sometimes organises events for the guests, such as the time when we went picking mushrooms and visited a local market from where we bought more mushrooms which were cooked for dinner, all at a very good price. The location is excellent, just 1 minute walking to the south gate of the ancient city. I will not hesitate to stay here again when I come back to Jianshui.

I was put in the triple room with another person instead of the dormitory which I booked as there was not enough space. This didn’t have the privacy of curtains like I was expecting, and my roommate was disruptive. However the hostel were able to move me to the dorm for the 2nd night. The facilities were okay but quite rundown. The location was good.

The hostel is just at 5 min by walk from the old town. We had a very nice stay there, they rent bicycle and scooters for the day. The room was big, nice and confortable! Thank you

Lovely little place. Wonderful free tea and kind staff, free laundry, and nice shared areas. Beds had good privacy, but were a little hard. Excellent for the price

I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. The environment was great, both from the staff and the guests. Really made me, the only foreigner, feel comfortable among them. Also very close to the best value noodles place I have yet found in SE Asia, and to the Ancient Town, and provided a good value bike rental (very solid bike). Riding it along the ancient train itinerary was her highlight of my Jianshui visit. Highly recommend 👌

Stayed 2 nights. Pleasant hosts. Easy to communicate with. Check-in was quick and convenient. Comfortable big bed. Boss arranged a tour to Yuanyang terraces. Awesome experience. He knows all the right places to stops. Amazing place, beautiful and picturesque. I won't hesitated in booking and go along with him. Thank you very much. Boss

Super cheap, friendly staff and excellent location. 10/10

Very friendly and bicycle friendly hostel ! Perfect location. Good place to explore the old city !

Perfect location, the staff is really nice. I could rent a bike to visit the countryside. It is very nice to chill in the little outdoor area after a long day of sightseeing
