Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name “YoHo – The Young Hotel,” I was expecting something that might try way too hard to be hip, you know? Maybe neon everywhere and staff who use “lit” unironically. But actually, this place surprised me in the best way possible. It’s got this relaxed, authentic vibe that feels more like staying at a friend’s really well-designed apartment than some corporate attempt at being trendy.

The whole setup here just works. I mean, sure, it’s technically a 3-star place, but whoever’s running it clearly gets what travelers actually want. The lobby has this warm, lived-in feeling – think exposed brick mixed with comfortable seating that you’d actually want to hang out in (not those weird sculptural chairs that look better than they feel). The staff genuinely seems to enjoy working there, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re trying to figure out where to grab dinner or need an extra towel. And speaking of practicalities, check-in was refreshingly smooth – none of that artificial upselling or twenty-minute spiel about amenities I’m never going to use.

What really sold me on this place, though, is how it strikes that perfect balance between social and private. The common areas have enough buzz to make solo travelers feel connected, but it never gets rowdy or overwhelming. I noticed a good mix of people – some digital nomads camping out with laptops, a few couples on weekend getaways, even some business travelers who seemed pretty content with their choice. The rooms themselves are thoughtfully designed without being fussy. Nothing groundbreaking, but everything you need is there and it all actually works properly (looking at you, every hotel shower I’ve wrestled with). The beds are legitimately comfortable, and whoever chose the lighting understood that people need to actually see what they’re doing. Small thing, but there’s decent soundproofing too – I could hear some city noise, but nothing that kept me up at night.

Here’s the thing that really impressed me: this hotel scored an 8.6 rating, and after staying there, I totally get why. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, but what it does, it does really well. The value is solid, especially considering the quality of the experience. You’re not paying for marble everything or a concierge in a fancy uniform, but you’re getting a place that actually cares about the guest experience in ways that matter day-to-day. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. Would I recommend it to friends? Already have, actually – my cousin stayed there last month and texted me halfway through her trip just to say thanks for the suggestion.

Reviews

  • Lisa from Germany – 8 May 2025 (9/10)

    The beds were incredibly comfortable – couldn't be any better!
    High quality furniture in the room.
    Very clean. Extremely friendly staff members!
    Very quite area and only a few minutes by foot to restaurants, shops and bars. Very close to the public transportation.

    What could be improved: Nothing to complain about!

  • Dorothylei from Germany – 30 March 2025 (9/10)

    The room exceeds my expectation, it's even better than the pictures. I guess the hotel was rebuilt and redesigned as a hotel inside. They keep all the old interior as much as possible as I can see. The design and the colour tone of the room make me feel very calm and quiet. The combination of dark grey with solid wood furniture is so comfy. And what i see is the good quality of products in the room. My room was facing the backyard, I can hear light birds singing in the morning. I observed that in order to keep the old window frames, they put a mechanism to automate the arm of the frame. I can see that the interior designer had thought through about the whole thing.

    I specially requested a water kettle in the room and they didn't forget about it – which is good. Please keep the quality and standards.

  • Renae from Australia – 23 December 2024 (9/10)

    Such a warm welcome from the lovely staff here and a cosy and comfortable stay. We love the neighbourhood – being away from the city centre but an easy 15min trip by bus / uBanh to get into town. Unbelievable check out times are on offer too from 7-12 with an easy check in/out system in place.

    What could be improved: Nothing, everything was perfect.

  • Anna from Denmark – 27 November 2024 (9/10)

    Nice, clean room, comfy bed, tasty breakfast, 30 minutes walk from the city centre.

    What could be improved: Breakfast was a bit boring, shower very little.

  • Tina from United Kingdom – 26 October 2024 (9/10)

    The staff were fabulous, I’ve sent an email prior to our arrival asking for an early check in. Upon our arrival mid morning, the room thankfully was ready waiting for us which we were grateful for as we had to get up at 3am for our flight to Hamburg.

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Zeynep from Germany – 8 October 2024 (9/10)

    Cozy, stylish and comfortable room, spacious bathroom, a neat location, easy check in despite late arrival.

    What could be improved: It’s not a minus but I’d be happy to pay more for a breakfast with more options. The one that was offered was still good though.

  • Patricia from Germany – 28 July 2024 (9/10)

  • Larissa from Germany – 23 June 2024 (9/10)
