Dalian Tiantian International Hostel (Xian Road Xianggong Street Subway Station)

My stay at Tian Tian Hostel was overall pleasant. Initially, I noticed a strong unpleasant smell, and the location was quite far from Dalian’s main tourist attractions. However, the cleanliness of the room and the excellent service from the staff made up for these drawbacks. They were incredibly hospitable and always willing to help whenever I had questions. The shower and toilet were spotless, and basic amenities like soap and shampoo were provided. The host spoke English, which made communication smoother, and they were genuinely kind and accommodating. They even allowed me to leave my luggage at the hostel after check-out, which was greatly appreciated. The interior had a charming old seaside house aesthetic, perfectly matching Dalian’s coastal vibe. Additionally, the hostel had three beautiful cats that were calm and friendly, making the stay even more enjoyable.

Good for room rate. But there is a pretty big problem, it smells like smoking everywhere. There are ashtrays for smokers on every floor. If you don't smoke, you must be annoyed. If you smoke, not bad.

tiantian is a very friendly place to stay for travellers. what i liked most was the large living room kind of community space. people come together to share their stories. also the people working there are really dedicated and create a cosy atmosphere.
