    We loved our stay at Pomelo Hostel. The rooms are spacious with a comfy bed, daily room keeping and fresh, fluffy towel everyday. Free laundry machine on the roof, well equipped common area where it's easy to hang out and meet fellow travellers..some community events like hikes etc organized by hostel staff. Amazing value for money, this hostel has it all. Definitely recommended.

    There was loads of construction going on in the area. Of course something they can not do anything about.

    They really created an amazing hostel with a friendly environment. Even though I didn't speak Chinese they where able to help me and I was also able to join a activity which was easily the highlight of my trip

    They offer a nice list of recommendations, but the map that they give is a bit dated and not too precise. Yet they are very available to give information

    Nice hostel. Many games and books. Comfortable and clean rooms. Available staff.

    Really great, relaxed stay. I found the wifi a bit hit and miss on 3rd floor, and although smoking is not allowed, a lot of smoke was getting into my room somehow on one evening/morning.

    Very clean, very useful laundry facility (great views!), good central location, kind staff, excellent aircon.

    We took a family room in the hostel, it's same as a regular hotel room. There is a big beautiful lobby and an international community! The hostel is new, it is no more than a year old. The design of our room was minimalistic, the wooden bed, high ceilings and large windows, wow! Also a private balcony! The view from our window and balcony is of the mountains. We asked for the highest floor so we could see the authentic rooftops of the houses below. Fabulous view!

    A perfect hostel: social common area, great location, clean rooms... There are numerous activities offered and the shared homemade dinners are amazing. I made friends immediately upon arrival and spent basically my entire first night there singing Taylor Swift songs with the hostel owner :) 100% recommend!

    Its price is higher than other hostels in the same area. But it is worth the higher price.

    It is the best hostel I have stayed at in China. I want to give it more than 10 points if it is possible. It was super clean throughout. The lady working as manager had a native-speaker level of English proficiency as she came to China after living in Boston, US. She was so nice and tried to help me in every way. Its location is perfect as the bus station is only five minute walk away.
