A very enjoyable stay, an easy introduction to China.

There was a strange sewerage type smell coming from my dorms bathroom but I got used to it. Staff are lovely but Im annoyed that there are no cooking facilities except a microwave and kettle. And the fridge isn't big enough. Being able to make some toast and eggs would be nice without the expensive restaurant prices. Coffee and tuna sandwiches were great but overpriced and its in a very nice location with some great street food round the corner.

great location, great value
08 Jan 2012 Ana, Romania I did not used the reservation for this hostel. It is such a pity that there is only one hihostel in Guangzhou, unlike other cities in China of similar size, where there are more.

The location was very good and accessable to the subway and other transportation. The subway was a short and pleasurable walk of about 10 minutes. The river walkway was right in front of the hostel. No elevator in one section. So if you need one, ask for that section of the complex.

I stay in GD Guangzhou - Riverside International YH about one week, It's quite a good place. But if you plan to visit, you need to prepare some mosquito repallent. If you try to have sea food, be careful health problems.

Had booked a single room with balcony and loved this place and never expected it to be so good since booked it as i was not getting good hotels during canton fair days. But all i can say is ...will always stay here on my visit even if i get a good star rated hotel at the same price. loved the helping and friendly staff. two suggestion to the staff, do put more of anti mosquito coils in the lobby at night time and it would be wonderful if separate lockers are installed. otherwise PERFECT from my pont of view. THE PERFECT PLACE TO STAY IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING ALONE.
