Backpacker Inn

Guangxi


Sharing space with a cafe is this attractive inn perched at the western end of the atmospheric old-town street Zhuhai Lu. Non-backpackers should not be put off by the name: this is far more comfy hotel than hostel. Its 14 spacious rooms are Mediterranean in style, with upholstered bay windows to enjoy complimentary filter coffee and a good novel.
