Amber Youth Art Hotel (West Lake Scenic Area)

If all hostels in China were like this one, I’d be more than satisfied! The location is very convenient, the staff wants to help, the common room is big and very nice; there’s a balcony; there’s a room only for toilets and another one only for showers (women and men separated, so four in total), so I didn’t have to wait to pee or to take my shower; and soap and shampoo are given. (But bring your flip flops!) And the room! I was with three other people but it didn’t feel crowded, there’s more than enough space to put the luggage (and it’s easily accessible), to access the upper berth we use stairs instead of a ladder (which is safer and more convenient), the bed wasn’t hard, the curtains effectively block any light, etc. Needless to say that I had a great sleep! Negative points: hard to find the hostel (so maybe don’t arrive too late because you won’t be able to ask people for directions), no fridge and no umbrellas. The most negative point in my opinion is the lack of ventilation in the showers, it felt like the Amazonian jungle each time I entered the room. But the positive points definitely outweigh the negative ones. I definitely recommend this hostel!

Está escondido dentro de un edificio, esta en el 5to. piso la recepción. Las habitaciones son espaciosas y tienes varios espacios para tus pertenencias, las camas son cómodas. Pero no dan toallas, sólo pañuelos. Adjunto la imagen de lo que dan para que te seques después de ducharte, es ridículo.

總體不錯，專業的青旅。離西湖和杭州火車站很近，樓下有麥當勞和海底撈。是比較成熟的青旅，管理得很好，性價比高，可以月租，杭州有很多分店，下次來杭州還會選擇。 但是有幾個小建議：1.六樓住宿的便利性沒有五樓高，五樓的公用區是離店後才知道可以使用，並且六樓沒有洗衣和曬衣的地方。2.工作人員不夠專業，入住時給的物品缺少，不知道洗手間的紙是酒店方需要提供等。
