Huishou Hostel (Guiyang Zhongshan Mansion)

The hostel is clean and comfortable. I got a great spot! The owner was friendly and helpful although he couldn't speak English. The spot for this location is a bit tricky. If you use the address given, it will bring you to the parking lot in the building. So, if you already enter the parking spot through the bar, you will see the first lift (there are several lifts), make sure to take the left lift (a little bit hidden). Take the lift to the hostel! Good luck!

I feel that this hostel needs significant improvements to meet even basic expectations of cleanliness and service. The room and bathroom were consistently dirty, with bins full of food waste left unemptied for several days. The building itself is difficult to navigate, and the staff, unfortunately, did not speak English, making it hard to get assistance. It took a neighbour and me over 30 minutes to find the hostel once inside the building. The 6-bed female dorm had a decent size and a small balcony, but unfortunately, it was not properly cleaned for an extended period. In fact, after a guest left, the bed was left untouched for at least two days. While I understand the hostel is a budget option and conveniently located near the metro, basic services like cleaning should still be maintained to ensure a comfortable stay. Additionally, the common areas were often occupied by guests playing games, with little willingness to interact or engage with others. I would not recommend this hostel to travelers, especially those seeking a welcoming environment. Despite the low price, I found my stay uncomfortable and ended up leaving earlier than planned. Even with minimal expectations—I've stayed in many budget hostels, including in China—this one did not meet even the basic standards of cleanliness and hospitality.

Very friendly boss and very helpful
