  The hostel is located on the 4th floor a building 500 m from the Korla railway station along the main street that starts in front of the railway station. The shared bathrooms are awful and most are broken. It's ¥40 for a bed in a 4-bed dorm. No English spoken. It's still a good option for backpackers traveling alone. The owner is very nice and likes to take tenants for tours, unfortunately no english spoken. Cell phone number: 13899065488
