Xi'an Facebook Youth Hostel (Zhonglou Metro Station Branch)

The owner is very friendly. With the help of Google Translate, she gave me tips on how to reach attractions with the bus. The hostel is a bit old but still well maintained.

อาอี๋ใจดี อยู่ใกล้หอนาฬิกาจงโหลว ที่พักโดยรวมถือว่าโอเคเลย

The hostel is not far from the Bell tower and other touristic places. Dormitory was clean. Staff members are also very nice and helpful (what to visit in XiAn, how to get to the main touristic places, where to eat, and so on). Price for a bed in a female dorm is very reasonable. Great stay for me as a solo traveler.

Расположение хорошее - в шаговой доступности от Колокольной башни, станции метро и большого количества точек питания. Сам отель прокуренный, темный. Полотенца выдали маленькие. Подойдет для непритязательных туристов, которым нужно переночевать и помыться. Брали номер с отдельным санузлом

I don’t advise international travellers to stay in this hostel. it’s not a typical hostel in the American/European sense. It’s a hostel for local students, etc. You won’t be able to communicate in English and make friends here. There is no kitchen, communal spaces are shabby, overall hostel interior is dark and more rugged. I booked a separate room with double bed for 4 nights, but I didn’t sleep even one night there. The advantages are central location, friendly and helpful staff (even though they don’t speak English), big and clean bed, clean curtains. The disadvantages prevailed though. The place smells bad: the kitchen area smells of cigarettes because it’s allowed to smoke inside, the corridor smells of fish, my room smelt of dampness and mold. The room was shabby and ragged, dirt spots on the walls, hairs on the toilet seat, stained mirrors, horrible old shower curtain with stains of black mold. Overall not a nice place to stay in.
