The hostel is in a great location to explore the old town. The staff were nice and helped me book the bus to my next stop. I would advise people to stay here only if they’re used to squat toilets and don’t mind mixed washrooms/showers. I liked the view from their rooftop. Some things around need updating but it’s okay for a couple of night stay. If you’re in shaxi on a Friday then don’t miss the big morning market and have some coffee from this guy with the car at the entrance, it was delicious.
