Dengba International Hostel (Guangzhou Zhongshan University)

Faciliteiten: relatief persoonlijk, over het algemeen 80% nieuw Hygiëne: De hygiëne is zeer goed, het bed wordt door de tante verschoond, u hoeft dit dus niet zelf te doen. Omgeving: In de buurt van CUHK is het handig om te eten en te winkelen. Het enige is dat de metro een beetje ver weg is, maar er zijn bussen als alternatief. Service: Warme en goede service bij de receptie Over het geheel genomen is de prijs-prestatieverhouding goed. Als je niet gewend bent om met andere mensen om te gaan, zijn er naast de bedden in de jeugdherberg ook andere privékamers om uit te kiezen. De omstandigheden zijn in alle opzichten redelijk goed. Het punt is dat het gemakkelijk is om te eten. Je kunt de Zhongda Universiteit of de Pearl River in de buurt bezoeken. Kijkend naar het nachtzicht is de afstand niet erg ver. De oude stad is relatief rustig. De meeste jonge mensen blijven hier, en veel van hen studeert nog steeds in de zaal.

Rude male staff. I spoke in Chinese to him and he acted annoyed and dismissive at my questions. I can't imagine what that interaction would have looked like in English. So much for an international hostel next to a university. Room stunk like a gym's changing room and there was someone living there long term (4 person room). Bathroom was flooded, which no wonder, considering the fact the shower door had been removed and placed next to the toilet (see pics). Upper benk has a curtain but no ceiling, so bring an eye mask or you won't sleep. Noisy and inconsiderate guests, eating spicy and smelly food at midnight (put up a sign discouraging this behaviour, please). At least the sheets were clean and the bed was fairly comfortable. Booked 2 nights, cancelled the second one and checked out early since I couldn't sleep. On the upside, there's very nice and cheap restaurants around since this is a student area. For 12$ a night skip this one and spend and extra 8 to get a private room in a better location.

Good place to rest

This hotel/hostel is super convenient if you plan to travel around the city, rooms always clean, the people who work there very accesible, easy to get to metro.

Nice and calm hostel, the staff doesn’t really speak English but you can easily communicate nowadays with translators.

Good location, in market area , metro is near by , public transport is well connected

Staff and other occupants were very friendly and welcoming. The dorm had 6 beds and all were quiet and respectful. The rubbish bins are emptied everyday. The wifi is fast. There was noise from the neighbouring building during the night, but that's no one's fault at the hostel.

Clean and cheap hotel. Many eateries along the street near hotel night and day. There is only one bus from the train station. Recommended if you are on budget

Scuffed. The top bunk isn’t completely blacked out so there is light coming through.
