I've stayed at most of the hostels in Guilin and this one is definitely the best. Their service is wonderful, they have a great lounge, the location is convenient, and the rooms are nice with a good view. Prices range from 80 RMB to 120 RMB depending on if you have a river view room or if it's single or... More

This is a very nice hostel in Guilin and very reasonably priced (because we were staying for an extended period over a low season, they even upgraded us to a river view room). When we checked in late at night, they even let us just go to our room and get some rest and pay the next day. Close to... More

This was a really nice hostel because of the food and the bright common area, but the rooms that we had were windowless and a bit on the dark side. Granted we were on the inside of the building in dorms, but I don't think one should need to pay extra for a little more light. Other than that the... More

Amazing wee hostel, ideally located in Guilin, lovely staff and very comfortable. Daisy the girl who was on the nights we stayed was a great help, her local knowledge helped make the trip even better. Great views up on the elephant hill and a lovely wee city with some great food. More

We stayed at How Hostel after a very hot and sweaty 27 hour train journey from Chengdu. We were a bit unsure of the hostel as it did not have a website and we dont like to book hostels through hostelworld etc However when we arrived we were very happy with our huge, nicely decorated room, with a big comfy...

This hostel is called 'How Hostel' on the English brochures and on hostelworld.com. We stayed one day and one night in Guilin, of which it rained most of the time. We had no plans for Guilin except to relax after some pretty full on days in Yangshuo and research where we would be going next. How hostel turned out to... More

This hostel also has the name How Hostel, just in case anyone else has the same doubts as me. Extremely friendly staff and good atmosphere in the common room. The hostel has been renovated recently, so it is all nice and clean. Space in dorms is not very generous. The bath in my room was just too small! When taking... More
