Hostels in Shenzhen

"Ist weniger ein Hostel und mehr eine WG, in der Chinesen dauerhaft wohnen. Lage wunderbar, Bett hart und unbequem, typisch chinesisch. Bett definitiv sauber. Kleines Schließfach vorhanden. Kleiner Aufenthaltsbereich mit einem Tisch und Sofa. Dort stehen alle Koffer. In einem 26 Stöckigen Hochhaus, ohne Rezeption. Badezimmer ist mittelmäßig sauber und wird wohl nur einmal am Tag geputzt oder so. Bin zum zweiten Mal hier, die Lage ist einfach wunderbar."

"Not a terrible nor great place: fine for the price. This is not a hostel in the traditional sense: it’s a converted suite in a residential building with bunk beds in every room except the kitchen (so there’s no common space to hang out at night). When I stayed, the hostel reeked of tobacco due to smoking being allowed on the balcony (which is also the only place to hang your clothes to dry after washing them, so they will smell). Rooms are fairly small and pretty dusty, but the bedding provided was always clean. Other guests were quiet and respectful, everyone minded their business. No one spoke English. Bathroom doesn’t have any toilet paper or hand soap and the hostel doesn’t provide towels. I never once saw the manager. We only communicated via WeChat. Make sure you have translation tools ready if you don’t speak Chinese. Location is great, there are lots of restaurants and convenience stores nearby and it’s super close to two metro lines and one stop away from the train station that can take you to Guangzhou and Hong Kong (and the rest of China). Probably would pay a few bucks more for a better hostel next time but it wasn’t a terrible experience."
