My Hangzhou Hostel Experience: Freshly Back & Utterly FUMING!
-
May Day is just super expensive; prices go up everywhere. I went on the 29th.
-
My first time at 'Dugunai' (or 'Do Good Night') was genuinely the worst. The curtain on my assigned bunk was broken, and the bed was an absolute pigsty. I didn't even take my clothes off and didn't dare use the blanket.
-
The top bunk at the place I'm staying at doesn't even have a curtain!
-
Which one is it? Name and shame so we can avoid it!
-
When I was in Hangzhou before, I stayed at Lü Xiaoer. It was clean and not noisy.
-
Now that's what a proper hostel bed looks like. The one I'm in is just like a dorm bunk bed; the top bunk doesn't even have a curtain.
-
Youth hostels these days aren't what they used to be. They're mostly full of long-term residents.
-
This place is so bad it doesn't even have long-term residents anymore. The girl sharing my room messaged me yesterday saying everyone else had checked out.
-
Which hostel is it? I'll make a note. [Crying emoji] Domestic accommodation standards are really declining these days.
-
Fulaiju Youth Hostel, it's over by Wulin Road.

And then there's Kepler 🤮. If you want to experience being inexplicably berated by the front desk, I suggest Kepler. If you want a happy trip but end up feeling like you've eaten dirt because of how disgustingly you're treated during check-in and check-out in Hangzhou, then by all means, go experience Kepler.
