This hostel is situated by the riverside of the Pearl River, on the opposite riverside of the Shamian island where were, before, the colonial foreign quarters : to reach there, there is a ferry which crosses the river in a few minutes and at a very low cost. But they are now building a road tunnel acrss the river. Anyway!... More

Me and some friends stayed at RiverSide YHA only for a few hours sleep. We came from Macau in the evening and arrived in the hostel already a bit late. We checked-in in a smooth way, pay the rate accordingly with a booking and the hostel also arranged a taxi for 05:00 am, time we had to leave to the... More

The hostel itself was good with a friendly staff. However, our money got stolen from the inside of our room when we were visiting the city. The money was in a hidden place, so someone must have gone through our belongings. The staff checked the camera recordings with us, and we saw that one cleaning lady was the only person... More

Ok first off this place is super cheap! I stayed in 6 bed dorms for only 5euros a night, its very clean, staff extremely friendly and spoke English. But the place is very dated looks like it was built in 70s and hasn't changed, the surrounding area seemed run down almost abandoned! Most the buildings along the riverside were shut!... More

Quite far away from the city center but about 800 meters from metro station. Double room was big and clean. Staff spoke english and were friendly. If you really have to go to Guangzhou this is not a bad choice for accomodation.

This was quite simply the worst hostel experience we have had during our time in China. Negative reviews of otherwise well received places often, in my opinion, say more about the people who stayed there than where they are reviewing. To avoid coming across as a combination of deranged, angry and vindictive I'll simply state the problems we had at... More

I stayed there for 6 nights in a private ensuite room. Rooms very spacious, clean, comfortable and with air conditioning. The location is fantastic with beautiful views across the river especially at night and the train station Line 1 is just few minutes away. At the time I was there, a staff member who speaks fantastic English was very helpful... More

We were here for two nights. The only thing that really brings it down to three stars was the staff who were not really willing to help us. We had to pester them to help. But otherwise a pleasant stay.

I stayed at a few nights here in a private ensuite room with a friend at the end of September - the rooms were spacious, beds comfortable, bathrooms clean and modern and most importantly - had air conditioning. The location is perfect right on the river, and just a short ferry ride away from Shamian Island. Also only took us... More
