    I loved my stay at Cao Ji Book Inn! The cozy common areas made for perfect reading spots, and I was thrilled when they gifted me a Kafka novel. The unique design was charming, though the layout could be quirky. I highly recommend this place!

    I had a great stay! The hostel is super easy to find and the location is perfect for exploring. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are luxurious with all the complimentary products you'd need. I really enjoyed the cozy common areas-they're bright and inviting, making it a great spot to relax or meet fellow travelers. Plus, the free bus drop-off from the train station was super helpful!

    Honestly, I didn’t find much to complain about. The only thing I noticed was that the towels provided are quite small, so it's a good idea to bring your own if you're particular about that. my experience was all positive!

    The quirky design made it feel unique, and we enjoyed cozy afternoons in the common area. Reading Kafka's Castle gifted to us was a good surprise. Just a heads up, the stairs can be a bit tricky, and the lockers were small. I highly recommend this hostel!

    The cozy atmosphere and unique decor made it feel like home. We enjoyed the quiet reading time in the common area, and the comfy bed was a highlight. Just be prepared for stairs! I'd definitely recommend this place.

    We loved the hotel's cleanliness and spacious common areas, easy to relax and socialize. The staff was attentive, going the extra mile to ensure our comfort. The location was perfect, situated near historic sites yet not overly touristy, and the cozy atmosphere really enhanced our stay.

    Nothing for us.

    I had an amazing stay! The atmosphere is super cool, with a unique design that made me feel like I was in a fairy tale. The location is prime, right in the downtown area, with art museums and a hidden coffee shop nearby. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to make my experience comfortable. Plus, the complementary skincare products were such a nice touch!

    The layout was a bit quirky, with some bathrooms and common areas on different floors, which could be inconvenient. I had to deal with some noise and light near my first bed, so I switched to a windowless pod. not too bad, just small things to note!

    I had such a great time at this hostel! The location is spot-on, right across from an amazing temple and a quick walk to other attractions. The whole vibe is super cozy and inviting, kind of like a reading nook mixed with a hangout spot. I loved the capsule beds; they felt private and comfy. Plus, the staff were friendly and helped me out with all sorts of questions.

    On the flip side, be prepared for a workout with all the stairs—there's no lift, which might be tricky for some. the layout can feel a bit divided, so I didn't end up meeting as many people in my room as I’d hoped. the cleanliness made up for it!

    We had a fantastic stay at cao ji. the entrance with the bookshelf gave a cozy vibe from the start. the staff were friendly, assisting us with everything from directions to local attractions. our dorm was clean and comfortable, and the shared bathroom facilities were always well-maintained. being close to museums and shopping areas made it convenient for exploring, plus the nearby ubike station was a great bonus for biking around.

    Nothing at all! 😊.

    I stayed for three nights while exploring the local culture and sights, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The quirky interior felt like stepping into a stylish library, complete with cozy nooks to relax and meet fellow travelers. My capsule bed in the female dorm was both private and comfortable, and the shared bathroom facilities were pristine, equipped with lovely eco-friendly toiletries. The location was perfect; just a short walk to major attractions and public transport. The friendly staff made my stay even more enjoyable!

    I do recommend this hotel.

    The shared kitchen was a game-changer. We could whip up some late-night snacks and munch together. And the tour desk was clutch! They hooked us up with all the deets on the coolest spots in town. Plus, the luggage storage was a lifesaver, so we didn't have to haul our bags around while exploring. Epic!

    Okay, if I had to pick one thing, I wish they had a super fun party room. Like, a place where we could throw down with some sick beats and meet other young party animals.

    The hostel had a fantastic shared kitchen, where we could whip up our favorite dishes and have family meals together. The tour desk was super helpful in planning our daily adventures, and the luggage storage was a lifesaver for us busy parents.

    My children wanted a play area or games room for added entertainment.

    The hostel's aesthetic is absolutely jaw-dropping with an impressive collection of books and a vibrant community of fellow travelers. The well-maintained washroom offers superior products, plus there's free coffee and snacks available 24/7. The peaceful atmosphere and delicious breakfast make it a perfect place to unwind after a long day. The friendly staff, convenient location, and fantastic amenities like free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a shared kitchen add to the overall amazing experience.

    I had an absolutely mind-blowing experience at this amazing hostel! The concept of sleeping "inside" a bookshelf was jaw-dropping and added a unique touch to my stay. The design of the entire hostel was super cool and relaxing, creating an awesome vibe. The staff were incredibly cheerful and friendly, always ready to help. I appreciated the free earplugs, which were really useful since it's a shared sleeping space. Plus, the complimentary coffee and tea were a nice bonus. Everything, from the comfy beds to the spotless shared spaces, was top-notch. The location was fantastic, with major attractions within a short walking distance. I also loved that there was a nearby Ubike station for convenient exploring. The hostel even provided amenities like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, and hair dryers in the shared bathrooms. I can't wait to come back and stay here again if I ever return to the city.

    Breakfast delights could be improved with some more variety and options.
