The hostel is the former site of the Polish Consulate General to Guangzhou before the founding of PRC. In the early 1980s, the old building was refurbished into a hostel. In a time of entry restrictions to foreigners, Guangdong Youth Hostel, among only a few hotels, had the authority to serve foreign tourists. The hostel offers everything foreign tourists may expect, a solar water heated bathroom, a hairdressing room, a nice lounge to meet friends, a closed-door meeting room to clinch business deals and a convenient store to get a cup of coffee and a sandwich. The hostel is very close to Metro 1 and 6. Many destinations in town and the bordering Foshan City may be reached in a matter of half an hour.
