Camellia Youth Hostel

The staff here were great. Yes it cost a little more than some of the other hostels at 120rmb a night for a double room. But I tell ya they dont lose your reservation or say oops we are all booked up even though you do have a reservation. All you can eat breakfast goes with this the place is close to downtown, and ten minutes from the airport at a 15 rmb cab fare, and they will take you back to the airport for free! not too shabby!

I stayed in the Camellia Youth Hostel dorm area (attached to the hotel) for 25 RMB per night (discounted form 30 with the hosteling card). The place was AWESOME! There were eight beds per dorm and usually with people of the same sex. The base of each bunk had two lockers to keep stuff with your own padlock (HUGE — enough for two large rucksacks). Locks are also available from reception for a fee. The dorm rooms were extra clean and warm, nice comfy duvets and clean sheets, and the showers were warm and well powered. The beds were a bit hard but you got used to it. DVDs are available to rent from reception, 15 RMB for buffet breakfast in the hotel itself, or better still, go for awesome and cheaper breakfast at City Cafe just around the corner! Luggage storage facility for long periods of time and Internet for 10 RMB/hour. Free shuttle to the airport. Most definitely recommendable! This is the best hostel I've stayed in so far!

I stayed in the old hotel wing with a private room and bath for 120 yuan per night. This place has clean rooms, free breakfast (the Western selection was minimal), and a good location. Check out the travel service outside the hotel adjacent to the road. We got great deals on our flights and local tours and the staff there were very helpful.
