This was my first experience with a hostel. It seemed fair enough. It was always clean, had hot water, and was mostly quiet. You cannot eat in your living space. I was on the 13th floor and had to go down to the 2nd floor if I wanted to eat. And my bed was so close to the ceiling that I hit my head one morning. Other than that, it’s a good place to save money and it’s super close to the Chinese Consulate.
