”An inch of land and an inch of gold can show the true colors”
It was an instant trip, and I came to Xiamen again with my friends. I originally booked a hotel in Xiamen, but my friend said that it should not be so high-end, just travel on a budget. After much deliberation, if you want to live near Zhongshan Pedestrian Street, the only place that is affordable is a youth hostel. After reading the reviews and comparisons on the Internet, I booked the Xiamen Weike Youth Hostel.
The location of Xiamen Weike Youth Hostel is really good. It is located on the fourth floor of Phase II of Laiya Department Store, No. 39 Siming South Road, Siming District, Xiamen. This place is very familiar. It is next to the intersection of Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, and the nearest subway station [Zhenhai Road] The station is about 500 meters away.
The hostel is located on the fourth floor of the second phase of Laiya Department Store. To be honest, it is difficult to find at the first time. After calling and communicating with the front desk, you can transfer to the fourth floor of Laiya Department Store, or go up from the 24-hour special elevator behind the food street next to it.
The lobby of the Youth Hostel is quite avant-garde in decoration, with a simple small space theme, which has a feeling of traveling through time and space. The main thing is that it is clean as a whole and looks very comfortable.
Just go to the front desk and report the name of the person who made the reservation, and the front desk also explained some precautions.
I booked a 6-person room for modern and trendy boys. The size is not bad. There are 3 dormitory beds with bunk beds, 1 desk, and 1 locker. Sheets, pillowcases, quilts have been made for you.
Youth hostel accommodation is better than the price, mainly for sleeping at night, not in the room during the day, and basically playing outside. Each bed is equipped with 2 charging sockets as standard, which is enough for daily charging needs such as mobile phones and charging treasures. It has a night light, but there is no shelf, so there is no place to put your phone while sleeping. The hostel has free WI-FI, and the signal speed is not bad, which is enough for surfing the Internet.
There are lockers in the room, which can hold relatively large backpacks. If it is a large suitcase, it can only be placed on the floor of the room, but it is a bit confusing for everyone to put it casually.
The 6-person room for modern and trendy boys is a public health room. The public health room is next to the elevator outside the lobby. You need to walk a long way to provide free toilet paper. The shower room is separate for men and women, and they took a shower in their respective areas. The hot water is plentiful and comfortable, but they are satisfied with the shower curtain. Clothes can only be placed on the shelf outside, and there are free shampoo and bath dew. The wash area is equipped with a mirror and a hair dryer in front of the desk.
The area around the hostel has always been the bustling commercial area of the city. There are large shopping malls and commercial streets such as Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, Laiya Department Store, and Tiger City. Snacks are available, and it is super convenient for eating, shopping and shopping.
Regarding the scenic spots, start from here to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, Bashi, Cruise Center (Gulangyu Island), Nanputuo Temple, Xiamen University, Baicheng Beach, Xiamen Botanical Garden, Hulishan Fort, Zengcuoan, Huandao Road Sea Plank Road, Shapowei, Attractions such as the Yanwu Bridge Sea Observation Deck, Dingaozai Cat Street, etc. can be easily reached by walking, bus and subway.
The advantage of Xiamen Weike Youth Hostel is that it is located next to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, the core center of the old city of Xiamen. Although it is located in a busy city, the environment inside the hostel is very quiet, and the lobby decoration is suitable for young people. The public health area is also very clean, and free toiletries are also provided. It is very convenient to go to major attractions or go shopping. The disadvantage is that there are long-term residents in the room, which leads to a bit of confusion in the placement of the lockers. Of course, you get what you pay for, and you can’t compare youth hostels with high-star hotels. Compared with hotels, the prices are affordable, and they are suitable for a person who travels poorly or travels with backpacks. The overall rating is 5 stars.
Excellent
