Comfy and Cheap: Youth Hostels in Dalian

Comfy and Cheap: Youth Hostels in Dalian

As a popular tourist destination for both domestic and international travelers, accommodation options are found on almost every street in Dalian. For the average budget-conscience tourist, however, basic comfort, cleanliness, convenient location and low prices are the main criteria in choosing a place to stay. Youth hostels are nothing new to foreign travelers, and China’s more popular scenic spots like Yunnan, for example, have long mastered the art of providing international standard youth hostels. In Dalian, however, the fad has been slower to catch on. At present, the city only has a handful of youth hostels to choose from; below we introduce two of the more popular choices.
