Kaili Ouyu Youth Hostel (National Style Garden)

Superb kitchen and comfy parlour. Taxis cheap so Arrive Early to avoid an upper bunk as there are no privacy curtains nor handy shelves up there.

Tenía reservada una habitación con literas para 2 personas, la segunda nunca vino, así que estuve solo en una habitación. Instalaciones bien y personal amable. La ubicación no es maravillosa pero los taxis son baratos. El precio es muy bueno.

Stay end Nov 2025 - solo traveler. The hostal is located in a touristic area with shops and restaurants, about 20 mins taxi drive from Kaili south high speed train station. Nice area. The property consist of a shop and upstairs dorm & guestrooms. Facilities: a common kitchen, bathroom w/squat toilet / shower and a common space aren’t new but good enough. Beds in dorm are hard wooden boards (a thick topper would be good..) lack a curtain & personal light but do have an individual socket and shelf. Consider staying here in winter; there is no heating in the common space/kitchen/bathroom. Doubt if they turn on the airco heating at dorm during day & evening. When I stayed here, it was 1 day very cold and they allowed the airco in dorm to be turned on only at 21:00. Is this a good place for foreigners to stay during other seasons? - I would say ‘yes’ but than again: I speak and understand some Chinese language. Kaili and surroundings (Miao villages) are lovely to visit but might be hard to get to as a foreigner without Chinese language knowledge. Unless you like a challenge and have enough money to pay for individual Didi taxis instead of shared ones. The shop girls did their best, they helped me arrange a taxi to Langde, but they are not trained as receptionists so don't expect too much. I doubt if they speak English at all.

For the price it's an okay hostel, however I felt like the service was not that great. E.g. we couldn't use the AC for free during the day, when checking in the staff was sitting behind a curtain somewhere which I only discovered after a while (not very welcoming when you just had a long trip), they also didn't provide any information on what to do in the area. I think there could've also been more bathrooms for the amount of travellers. Moreover, I would've appreciated curtains on the beds for some more privacy. The hostel is in a nice area and I also appreciated the common areas.
