Reviews of Pomelo Hostel Xingping

It was one of the best experiences in China! The vibe of the hostel is super chill and welcoming, but what really makes it special are the two guys who work there. They go above and beyond to help with everything—whether it’s travel tips, local food recommendations, or just making sure you feel at home. Their energy is infectious, and you can tell they genuinely care about every guest. They made my stay smooth, fun, and unforgettable. If you’re passing through Xinping, Pomelo Hostel isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s an experience, largely because of these two amazing guys. Can’t recommend it enough!

Clean rooms, friendly and warm atmosphere. There is a washing machine on the roof. Can meet many fellow travellers and friends by hanging out in the lobby. Leo and Victor were super cool.

Lovely staff, speaks English. Good location - next to ancient town. The rooms are basic but good value for the money.

Mosquito net on the balcony door would be great

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.

I loved the location, staff, room. All staff were very friendly. I highly recommend.

Nothing, everything was perfect

Very clean, spacious, comfortable and the view from our room was amazing. Staff was very friendly too.

Good to know that the property doesn’t have an elevator.

Really good location

Squat toilets

Very nice, traveler vibe. Good location. Good price. Very comfortable room. Enough space, solid Aircon with heating option, lockers, comfy beds, very silent during the night. Possibility to make laundry in the hostel with a great view from the terrace. Little disadvantage - squatting toilet in the bathroom.

Friendly and helpful staff

Nothing

It is close to the main Xingping attraction, that is the 20 yuan mountains scenic site. By vlose I mean a nice 15 minutes walking. It is also very close to the ancient city and it’s beautiful streets.

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

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

Very good location, close to the bus station. Room big and clean (private one), quiet area. the receptionist helped me to find a transport even if he don´t speak English, I am very grateful for that.

They didn't speak english

Everything was great, the space is very clean, bright and spacious! Loved the room, so comfortable and beautiful ☀️

Location, clean and spacious rooms! Very comfortable. Friendly staff

No electricity sockets that are compatible with “round” chargers

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

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 staff, good location, the beds are good

Could be cleaner and toilet should be fixed in the room.

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

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.

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!
