"Great location close to Nanjing Fuxing station, I had a hiccup with my flight schedule and they were very accommodating. The room was pretty basic, the air con was cold (bonus points for quiet!) & my roommates were all considerate & chill. Showers were hot and clean, bathrooms were well maintained. The only real 'dings' I'd give are to the common kitchen area--not enough coffee mugs (and no glasses that I could find), not enough cooking equipment (if the single pan is in use (and the person...

"Perfect location — just a 5-minute walk from Beimen Station, and convenient for taking the Airport Express Train. I stayed for 8 nights and everything was awesome! Slept very well, and the common area was great. I would definitely stay here again."

"TERRIBLE PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE! 1. place has bed bugs(Confirmed)! 2. Hygiene atrocious. 3. Non refundable for a reason! 4. The smelliest and dirtiest bedrooms and mattresses I’ve ever seen.
I would never want to hurt someone’s business but without a doubt this was the worst place I’ve ever stayed in my life and I have traveled to over 20 countries and stayed in several hostels.
To the owner: Please do something about this. It’s a nice area near the main station and near historical sites....

"It was clean: the bedrooms, the bathrooms, the living area (after entry, shoes off, of course). The staff was helpful & friendly. (There was a computer to use.) The place was light & bright: lots of windows. I enjoyed sitting in the living area and watching the city below. I found a street nearby with lots of vegetarian eateries. The place was easy to find, with that video on the "red tower"."
