Reviews of Natural Wake Youth Hostel

Aside from the location, nothing came out good out of this place. Do not book! The place itself is around 10-minute walk from East Hangzhou Railway station.

Cheapskate owner. It was raining really hard, damp, wet, and hot. Regardless, the owner would not turn on the A/C. I drenched in sweat throughout the night. Needless to say, I couldn't sleep well. It is impossible to find the place, as the address is only for the area, not an actual building number. This is not a hotel, a hostel, nor a share house, but just merely an apartment/office building, equipped with couple desks, and a bare minimum of furniture. I suppose the owner has few properties nearby, so you wouldn't know where to meet unless you call. Plus, you would need the building card to use the elevator anyway. The room is very small, sleeps 4 people, with 2 very non-sturdy bunk beds. I slept on the top, and the bed rocks, and I'm a super skinny guy. There's no place to put your stuffs, clothes, or towel, and what not. Definitely not a 3-star lodging. Beware before you book.

The staff was nice, but couldn’t speak English so be ready to use your translating app lol Nice location, next to the station, but impossible to find if the staff doesn’t come to pick you up on the first day.

There were cockroaches in the bathroom on the first day, so I didn’t feel comfy. But the staff handled it and eventually it was okay. One bathroom (with toilet and shower) for like 12 beds (so potentially 12 people) is not enough tho, in my opinion.

Great location. Next to the train station and metro. Staff is accommodating.

This hostel is difficult to find. Make sure you watch your booking.com messages. Staff needs to assist you in getting into the building.
