Mumaren Youth Hostel: отзывы

10 mins from railway station by bus number 11. It’s closed to the buzzing square and 10 mins by taxi to Jiayuguan pass. Capsule room is nice. It allows you some privacies at sleeping

For a start, it is now called the Herdsman Lodge. It is up one flight of steps from the street, no lift. Someone has obviously spent a fair amount of time and attention on the look of the place, but there are some things which would make staying here a better experience. The beds in the capsule are really hard (worse than on a Chinese train) and squeal every time you move. The capsules themselves look nice, but some of the plastic is a bit flimsy. They did supply toilet paper, but if you don't like squat toilets, you're out of luck. The shower cubicles are tiny, I don't know how to shower without getting my clothes wet. There is a drinks fridge, but no drinks are in it, and no water is supplied or available. The water boiler in the kitchen runs out at some stage in the evening. Big tip: turn left out the door, go to the intersection, turn left and cross the road - the #4 bus goes to the Great Wall Scenic area, where you can see the fort, but not the wall.

Great for a short stay. Not incredibly clean, they allow smoking inside, but good value for money.

Very kind man who runs the hostel. Good location and good level of privacy in the capsules.

Very clean and comfortable hostel. Great value for money

Basic hostel located in central Jiayuguan and not too far from the train station (Jiayuguan station). I had no issues with the hostel. As others has pointed out smoking is allowed which may bother some guests.

There are many restaurants around and the bus stop is a short walk. Easy to catch a taxi. Staff is helpful despite our language barriers, we managed to communicate with translator apps. Hostel is relatively clean but can be improved and more organized. For example, the faucets and mirrors need to be cleaned more thoroughly. There aren’t toilet tissues.

Very nice hostel. Bathroom is clean and there are more than enough showers and toilets.

Good location, overall good experience, toilets needed cleanness

Really impressed with the hostel. Good vibe for the price!!

Nice, clean and convenient hostel

Good hostel

No english spoken

This stay was awful. It is basically a migrant worker guesthouse. Everyone smokes inside, including the employees. It was very gross in the bathroom and showers. Definitely not a place to stay with children, perhaps if you were a single male traveler. Checked out as soon as we could in the morning and chose to walk around rather than spend one minute longer.
