Lvxiao Erqing Hotel (West Lake Hubin Ding'an Road Subway Station)

Love this budget friendly design that offer privacy that comes with your very own air conditioning system built inside the room(which is a plus)

It is a nice place to stay, quadruple room has bathroom inside, which I prefer, because you only share with 4 people and don’t need to go through bright lights in the middle of the night to use toilet. Bed was cosy and comfortable, with everything you need inside, even towel hanger. Curtains really block light. Location is good, with metro and train station right around the corner, and you can easily rent bikes nearby with Alipay. Good convenience store downstairs. The only thing is that chinese girls are really messy with sinks and after one single use the place is a complete mess, as you can see on photos - it’s actually impossible for cleaning stuff to keep the place clean all the time if the guests don’t cooperate a little, but they just don’t care. The bathroom also has glass walls which don’t block view completely, so you can see the person’s silhouette sitting on toilet, which I find uncomfortable. But we were only in 2 in the room, so luckily not really bad. The common area is dark and not really comfortable to stay, smell a bit, but staff is nice and helpful (but no English), the offer space to storage luggage if you need. There’s water and tables to eat, and a big screen always with something going on (i had to dine with a disturbing movie going on, but I think it was just bad luck). It is a good place in general, i would recommend.

If you’re after a no‑frills, budget‑friendly base in the very heart of Hangzhou, this hostel nails it. The metro entrance is literally beneath the building, so you can zip across the city—or reach the train station—in minutes, and West Lake is an easy stroll away. Dorms and privates are straightforward but tidy: sturdy bunks, roomy lockers, and air‑conditioning that actually works. Shared bathrooms are impressively clean, with hot showers around the clock. Common areas—a small lounge and communal kitchen—are basic yet well kept, perfect for whipping up a quick bowl of noodles or swapping tips with fellow travelers. Bottom line: unbeatable location, backpacker prices, and above‑average cleanliness. If you want to explore Hangzhou without draining your wallet, this hostel is an efficient, hassle‑free choice.

It was a really pleasant stay at this hotel, I can say safe, clean with high-level service to the customers. Whenever I needed something, they were willing to help me. Very close to subway and railway stations. If I come back, I will choose here again!

Very friendly and helpful, slept very well, beds simple but good for the price

This place is literally in some steps from metro station. But to find it was very difficult. There are 8 floors and you don't know where the hotel is. With the help of the staff on the 4rd floor we knew that the hotel takes place on the 8 floor. It's nice place, the staff is very kind. We left our backpacks there for the next day. View from window is not very beautiful
