Now Open: Jushe Hostel Hefei Gaoxin West Bus Station

Jushe Hostel's fifth Hefei location — Gaoxin West Bus Station Subway Station — is officially open. It sits at the north gate of the Hefei High-Tech Zone, inside the established Xinhuacheng commercial district, sharing a building with the Hilton. This is the first time Jushe has put a location in the heart of the High-Tech Zone.

300 meters from the metro, with the High-Tech and Zhengwu districts both in range

The front door is 300 meters from Exit C of West Bus Station on Line 2, about a five-minute walk; Exit A of Guizhuang Station is 950 meters away. Line 2 runs the length of the city east to west, so from here you are two or three stops from the Zhengwu District, and staying on gets you to Sanxiaokou and Dadongmen downtown. Work in the High-Tech Zone, interview in Zhengwu — one train covers both.

Longer trips are easy too. Shushandong Station is 10.9 km away, about 21 minutes by car. Hefei South Station is 23.1 km, about 26 minutes. The terminal at Hefei Xinqiao International Airport is 26.1 km, about 24 minutes, all of it on the expressway — one of the fastest spots in Hefei for getting to the airport.

ist Mall is downstairs. Longfor Paradise Walk is a 14-minute walk and Longfor Guangnian is 16. Meals, groceries, a haircut, a SIM card — all of it is a few steps out the door. If you want air, Dashushan National Forest Park is a 2.4 km walk.

Finished new in 2026, from the bedding to the common areas

This location was handed over in 2026, so the finishes, furniture, mattresses, and bedding are all new. None of the smell or wear you get in a renovated older property. Beds are built as integrated wooden berths, each with its own privacy curtain, locking storage cabinet, reading light, 220V outlet, and USB port — phone, laptop, and power bank all charge at once.

There is plenty of common space: a brand lobby, a shared long-table area, a lounge, and a free study room. The study room has individual desks and office chairs, so writing a resume, sending applications, sitting an online class, or taking a remote interview happens somewhere quiet, and you are not competing for a seat in a coffee shop.

Facilities and service: somewhere you can actually settle in

Shower areas are split into men's and women's zones, with private stalls and hot water around the clock. Shared bathrooms get one deep clean every morning, then an inspection-and-clean round every hour after that. There are gender-specific QR-code washers and dryers, 24-hour hot and cold filtered drinking water, individual air conditioning, hair dryers, a dedicated smoking area, a drying area, and EV charging spaces.

Check-in is self-service from start to finish, 24 hours a day, and someone is on hand even if you arrive in the middle of the night. Disposable toiletry kits, shampoo and body wash, and slippers are free, bedding is changed for every guest, and luggage storage costs nothing — so if you get into Hefei before you have anywhere to stay, drop the suitcase and go to your interview.

Rooms and rates

There are four dorm types: a men's 12-bed, a mixed 10-bed, a men's 8-bed, and a mixed 4-bed, ranging from 20 to 40 m². Rates start at 19 RMB a night, with no deposit, checkout any time, and a one-night minimum. The bigger rooms cost less; take the 4-bed if you want quiet and privacy. There is a limited opening promotion for Mini Program bookings, and the Mini Program is where the live price lives.

Why job seekers pick this one

Two things go wrong most often when you are job hunting away from home: housing eats the budget, and you stay somewhere so far out that a single interview burns the whole day. Gaoxin West Bus Station fixes both at once. It costs less per day than a cup of milk tea, the metro is right outside, and the tech companies in the High-Tech Zone and the office towers in Zhengwu are both inside the commute. The mall downstairs keeps daily costs down, and the study room gives you a decent place to prepare for the next interview.

Job hunting is a hard stretch of life. What Jushe wants to do is make the part where you land in Hefei a little less hard.
