Silk Road Youth Hostel

I love staying in this hostel because it is near the Yellow Crane Tower and Simenkou. Pengliuyang subway station is only a nine-minute walk and just below the hostel are shops selling affordable items. My favorite are the clothing shops. There is a Watsons nearby and some stands selling refreshments. I stayed in an eight-bed dorm room and it was clean and organized. When you get to your space, bed sheet, pillow case, and comforter are ready. You have to make your bed. My other roommate thought it was convenient but I actually liked the fact that I know that the sheets I am sleeping in are clean/freshly washed. The shared toilets are kept clean. I think there are four to five cubicles. Japanese-style toilets are available! The washroom, however, could use a little upgrade. Maybe place an area where guests can comfortably hang clothes or bring other important things without worrying that our things might get wet. There are slippers by the second floor front desk area that you can use for free. I didn't have a towel so I asked if I can rent one. The lad at the front desk gave me a disposal towel free of charge. At the common area, they play movies with ample space for hanging out. You can bring your laptops because tables are provided. Only one staff spoke a little English when I was there so it's always a good idea to brush up on your Mandarin Chinese. If you don't speak Chinese, be sure to download translation apps. You'll need them. Will I stay here again? Absolutely yes! Very affordable rate in a location that is so convenient for sightseeing and shopping.

The hostel is good and clean. It looks a little better in pictures but the value is good.

Very clean and quiet hostel and very kindly employees Thank you you so much Greetings from Saudi Arabia

It was a fine overall hostel. Nothing special nothing terrible. Rooms were decently clean, toilets and showers could’ve done with a better clean, the same cigarette butt was in the shower from check in to out. Showers also still don’t have locks, presumed not ever fixed from a previous review which mentioned the same thing. Inherent lack of places to hang of place things in room, bed and bathroom. Would be nice to have a shelf or somewhere to hang towel out to dry. Have to make and deconstruct bedding which is a bit cheeky. But for the price it’s a good hostel in a good location.

good location and friendly staff. close to yellow crane tower

Nice people but disappointed with the bathroom which doesn’t have locks(All are broken). Secondly I suggest you to put an english signboard or printout in front of the hostel, it’s very confusing to find the place. I was finding it for more than 30mins.
