Some of the staff. And the atmosphere can be good -depending on who is staying at the same time. — Customer review (2012-02-02) Hostelbookers

Great Locaction. Package tours (Great Wall, Chinese Acrobats) were both value for money and stress-free ways to see some major sights. — Celia Jenkins (2012-01-30) Hostelbookers

Reasonable location, good price for a room. — Customer review (2012-01-26) Hostelbookers

The location. — Customer review (2012-01-25) Hostelbookers

Decor was fun, the bar although small was pretty good. Very central. — Emma Nicholson (2012-01-22) Hostelbookers

Very good location, near metro station that makes all city extra availavble. Very good price for the dorm, nice staff. — Customer review (2012-01-21) Hostelbookers

It was nice, although sometimes the kitchen staff were a little lazy or inattentive. My bathroom was pretty dirty when I arrived. However, it is very safe, well located, and the staff will answer all your questions and provide lots of useful information. — Customer review (2012-01-20) Hostelbookers

Close to the centre. Friendly atmosphere. Very warm during the winter. — Customer review (2012-01-18) Hostelbookers

Good location, nice rooms and cheap — Myrna Harms (2012-01-12) Hostelbookers

Really great little lounge area to watch DVDs and chat with other travellers. Great location, convenient to walk to many areas and 5 minutes from a subway station. — Hayley Simpson (2012-01-09) Hostelbookers

near subway, central heating and always hot shower — Customer review (2012-01-06) Hostelbookers

I liked the tour to the great wall the hostel provides; it isn't one of the normal tourist ones so when you go its just you, the group, and the tour guide. — Customer review (2011-12-04) Hostelbookers

Staff were very friendly and helpful. — Caleb Emerson (2011-11-28) Hostelbookers

The location was good as it's quite near to the Subway station. — SOUMO DAS (2011-11-22) Hostelbookers

great lokation, clean and nice — karen jensen (2011-11-19) Hostelbookers

good location great staff, the staff really made it always nice and friendly — Customer review (2011-11-11) Hostelbookers

The rooms were fine, so no problems about that. I don't know how de dorm showers were, so I can't mention anything about it. The staff was really friendly and when my mobile was broke, Jake (ofcourse his English name;)), helpt me order a new one! I'm so glad that he was there! — Customer review (2011-10-24) Hostelbookers

Friendly and welcoming staff and a no-fuss check-in & out. Great location, just 5 mins from metro and only a few stops from the main sights. Lots of convenience stores & restaurants in walking distance. Chilled out, relaxed and safe atmosphere. Tucked down a quiet hutong so great for a good nights sleep. Good info on local attractions and some great day trip options. Nice hot showers! — natalie poole (2011-10-06) Hostelbookers

Friendly staff great you and help as they can. The beds are really hard and a bit lumpy but I think that's and Asian thing. Great value. — Sally, Australia (2011-10-05) Hostelsclub

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews

Located in an inner hutong, nice environment for Beijing Staffs are nice and friendly. But room and bed aren't properly cleaned. I wouldn't go back there since there are many "Hotels" around that area. — L. Fong , Canadian (2008-08-21)
