Sunday Youth Space Hostel (Yingtianmen)

Solid option for Luoyang. Great common areas to relax. Comfy bed, good AC, good wifi. Free drinking water. Kind and helpful staff/owners, though no English spoken. I arrived early on a night train and they kindly allowed me to check in right away. Note that if the reception isn't there, you can contact them on wechat or ask the spa on the ground floor to find the staff. Good location - right between the old city area and food street to the east and the Disney-style Tang re-creations to the west. Near a metro stop, and bus 53 goes direct from the hostel to the Longmen grottoes. It's a little confusing to find: you can enter the elevator-only entrance with the white letters above it, and go to floor 3. Or enter the spa, and go up two floors of stairs. The hostel was strangely empty when I was there, just 3 guests total. I would stay here again.

Very nice shared space. As an European I would say toilets could be Hm... More western haha

The hostel was clean and well-maintained. The staff at reception were friendly and helpful, even though they didn’t speak English, communication wasn’t a problem thanks to translation apps. The toilets were also clean and in good condition. Overall, a pleasant stay!
