Hangzhou Desti Youth Hostel West Lake-24H Reception& English Service& Cafe& Bar& Luggage Storage& Large Public Area

The place was clean, had good accomodations and super good value for the price. Bar downstairs had good drinks and coffee. Location is convenient.

Comparing to hostels in Europe, the atmosphere is quite different. Was a bit suprised to find a library in a hostel. The library was more popular than the bar. There were still a few fellow solo-travellers however, so still a good time.

The Hangzhou Desti is very modern and spacious. It's a good quality hostel.

I was unpleasantly surprised when I lifted the mattress and found it was pretty dirty with mildew stains.

Les capsules sont parfaites pour avoir un peu d’intimité et voyager seule

Pas de petit déjeuner proposé

The common spaces for working and eating are great! And the staff were all friendly. Also liked the location.

My main concern is that in the middle of the night, I woke up with various bites on me. I had a capsule room which I didn’t realize was in a shared hallway with 19 other capsules, all separated by private curtains (looks like there used to be doors, but it’s now just curtains). This meant that there was a fair amount of noise transfer with the main entry door opening and closing, with the other capsule residents opening the main doorway at night. I stayed on a Tuesday night, so it wasn’t necessarily a party night. Finally, I think the location could use more bathrooms for the number of beds - there was a wait for the showers at night, and the bathrooms not always clean.
