Description
Rooms are set around a peaceful garden courtyard. All have air-conditioning and heating. There is ample hot water. We keep a high standard of cleanliness and hope our guests will help us maintain it as bathing facilities are shared.
Local style food and refreshments are available in the guest house and we regularly have barbecues in the courtyard. The local fruit and vegetable market is minutes away as are many restaurants and shops.
Here you can experience Beijing lifestyle first-hand; you can live and eat just as locals do; living at Baitayuan one can feel more keenly the disappearing life style of Old Beijing due to urban expansion and development. Baitayuan is in the heart of a protected area where buildings are now listed to preserve this traditional style family house.
From here, many popular places of interests, such as Shi Cha Hai, Bei Hai Park, Xi Dan Shopping Center, Tian An Men Square, Business District, are literally within walking distance or a mere twenty minutes cycling. This is precisely the kind of quiet and fashionable living that Beijing House endeavors to offer.
You can visit The Water Cube and The Bird’s Nest from here; it will only take you about 20 minutes by taxi. On the way you can stop at The Bell and Drum Tower, and have Chinese traditional snacks - very cheap and delicious!
Our guest house is a traditional style courtyard house. All rooms have air-conditioning and heating. Our staff can speak good English.
We provide breakfast and local style food and drinks in the guest house. Laundry services are available
Bicycles are available.
Free internet and wi-fi.
We can arrange treks along The Great Wall and tours of traditional hutongs as well as famous Beijing landmarks such as The Forbidden City, The Summer Palace, Tian’An Men. We can also arrange trips to Beijing Opera, Gong Fu and acrobatics performances.

I don't kow where to begin... The atmosfere of the hostel is wonderful. The rooms are cousy and comfy and the yard and common areas are even better. The staff deserves all the gold stars in my book, they are super friendly, they will help you with anything and they will do it with a genuine smile. The location is in a quiet hutong and it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the subway, not super close but deffinatly not too far.
I would deffinatly want to have stayed there longer.

Great staff, very helpfull and friendly. Excellent place to meet new people, the common area is perfect for that. Clean room and bathroom. Great surprise to have breakfast included in the price of the room. Very quiet place in a tourist-free area.

The hostel is an old courtyard which is typical for "old Beijing". Because it consists only of the rooms around the yard, it is smaller than other hostels, contributing to the unique atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and helpful - there are also various activities such as cooking Chinese food.
There is a traditional food market right across the street, and other small restaurants and vendors nearby create the feeling of experiencing the life of ordinary Beijing residents, this makes up for the 10 to 15 minutes walk required to the nearest subway station.

The place has lots of atmosphere and the rooms are big and clean. In the common area they have movies and an X-Box and the English-speaking staff is very friendly. Even in winter you can sit outside (under a glass roof) as they have heaters there - really cosy!

Excellent!The staff were very helpful and arranged activities most evenings (making cakes, playing cards, parties, food and drink), which was a great way to meet people. They offered other services (arranging daytrips) and were helpful and always available.The rooms were comfortable and clean. The bathrooms were reasonable - a little bit small. Internet and breakfast were included.It was is 10minutes walk from a major subway stop, but it is a little bit hidden away.

Good location on a residential area, tough a bit hard to find for the first time. Helpful, English-speaking staff. You can order great, cheap food from a nearby restaurant. The courtyard was a good place to chill.
