Chinese Box Courtyard Hostel
94%
(Xicheng District)
"Chinese Box Courtyard Hostel (opened in July 2008) is a really cozily decorated and welcoming place. It's not super social, but the rooms and bathroom are well heated in winter and the courtyard is a peaceful haven for summer evenings.
The Location
The hostel is located near FuChengMen metro station. When exiting the station, take exit B. Just as you exit onto the large street (Fu Cheng Men Nei Da Jie), wondering by the newsstand if you should go left or right, choose left. Walk about until a large intersection with traffic lights (about...

Sleepy Inn Downtown Lakeside Hostel
88%
(Xicheng District)
"Excellent Customer Service -- Away from all the Craziness - Sleepy Inn was the first place we stayed in China and we booked at double private room. We didn't plan on staying in hostels, but thought it was a hotel when we booked. Our experience was so great we decided to continue staying in hotels. The ladies that work there were so friendly and helpful. They would book trains and rooms for you and give you detailed directions so that you didn't have to do the tour-group thing and go and get around on your own. The rooms are small and...

Artstel Beijing
86%
(Chaoyang District)
"Artstel Beijing is a very unique hostel right off the outer ring of Beijing, and not too far from the airport. It's located in a very trendy part of Beijing with overpriced but charming outdoor cafes. Venture across the main road via overpasses to check out some authentic street markets and shopping.
The Location
The hostel is located in the 798 Art District, which is reminiscent of a massive university campus. If you arrive at night, it may be extremely confusing. Look for a map on a sign at an intersection, and determine what sector...

Beijing Leo Hostel
86%
(Qianmen Gateway Area)
"Leo's is excellent! Hey, the old adage, you get what you pay for -- people it applies. I had a private room for nearly three weeks. A hostel is noisy. it is the nature of the beast. Leo's is a great place. Excellent, in fact. If you are a dumb traveler and you wish for all the creepy comforts of home while in a foreign country, the Beijing Grand is a couple kilometers away. By the way, it costs $250 for one bloody night. If you are wondering whether or not Leo's is good for you, or not, I am telling you just now. Leo's is great. Simon,...

HI - Beijing Jade Youth Hostel
86%
(Dongcheng District)
"We stayed at this hostel for two weeks at the end of December 2004. It is newly built/renovated with brand-new furniture and equipment. I would say it is more like a small hotel than a hostel. We had a lovely double room with a bathroom for less than 18 US dollars a day (for two persons). We visited two other hostels before we found this one and I have to say Jade beats both of them. It is close to Wangfujing Street (subway station), and it is in the heart of the city, very close to the Forbidden City.
If you take bus 103 from the hostel...

"This Hostel was great! I stayed in the upper level with my own private bathroom. The staff was very friendly. There were people from all over the world visiting there. Ben, a manager, always gave me helpful suggestions about where to find places and took the time to write the Chinese characters down on paper for the Taxi driver to read." … "An oasis amongst the bustle of a big city - Rooms basic but clean. Facilities good. Courtyard a great place to relax with a drink and socialise with other travelers at the end of a day. Staff...

HI - Beijing - Far East International Youth Hostel

(Xuanwu District)
"Brilliant - Stayed from the 29.01.08 to 03.02.08 and 12.02.08 to 14.02.08. We have just come back from sightseeing some of China and visiting friends in Wuhan. At the start of our break we decided to stay here using the hotel/hostel as a base, which was an excellent decision as it was within the heart of an old community and was very close (walking distance) to the touristy places. As we arrived, we were greeted by very friendly staff and a vibrant and colourful lobby area (this, when you have been on the go and tired, the original first...

Beijing City Central Youth Hostel
75%
(Dongcheng District)
"Excellent! - I live in China and have been going to this hotel for over five years and never a problem and always welcome. It is a very comfortable, clean, relaxed, simple place to escape from the city and over the years I see more foreign (young and old) as well as Chinese tourists and business travelers who maybe have heard about it through friends. The Central location is really the best part of the place right across from Beijing Zhan and can walk/bus/subway to Tiananmen, Wangfujing, Silk Market, Tian Tan Park. The staff is diligent and...

Jinghua International Youth Hostel
75%
"This was a pretty good place to stay. Generally pretty good staff, reasonably quiet, clean rooms, and cleaner bathrooms than most. I enjoyed my stay here quite a bit. Of course it's a bit removed from the city center, but the staff can help you with bus routes and such — and at 1-3 RMB [Renminbi, or People's Currency] a bus, it's not too expensive to get around for the money you save." … "This is a decent place. It's clean, has a 24-hour bar and is close to good bus routes. The reception staff and maid service are very...

"Lovely hostel, the reception is welcoming and turns into a great evening meeting and drinking area...beer is available at the reception and is very cheap (2yuan($0.25) a bottle as of 10/2002). the rooms are clean and the bathroom facilities are good. the staff are friendly and tollerant (we had some good parties :-))" … "A very good place to stay at very reasonable prices. The only thing is, in common with most Chinese hostels, the beds are hard. Please, guys, buy a few mattresses." … "Convienently located 15 minutes walk (or 12 -...

HI - Beijing - Feiying Hostel

(Xuanwu District)
"If anyone is travelling to Beijing on a budget, then this hostel is a must. It's full of friendly, helpful people and has a good atmosphere all round. The rooms were extremely clean and the pre-arranged tours to places such as the Great Wall and Ming Tombs were superb value for money. Tip: If you want to get photographic info, see the guy in the little shop downstairs. He, I'm sure, will be pleased to help you. Again, stay at this hostel." … "Nice place - I liked this hostel. I stayed here in May 2007 and chose it because of it's...

Templeside Courtyard Hutong House
87%
(Xicheng District)
"This is a great hostel, very picturesque and in a quiet setting amidst the nonstop noise and bustle of Beijing. The owner Bobby and his staff (especially the very sweet and charming Sharon) are very hard working and do their utmost to make their guests stay as pleasant as possible. They will order food for delivery for you from a local restaurant -- it's very tasty and very cheap. There's also cheap internet, 2 yuan for half an hour. The only annoying thing about this place was that it's quite hard to find, in a hutong (old fashioned...

"Tian An Men Sunrise hostel well exceeded our expectations. The staff is also great -- they are young and lively people with good knowledge of the city. Beijing is a city that is definitely worth visiting. It has a long history and this is obvious everywhere, which offers endless recreation, culinary, shopping, entertainment alternatives to the visitor.
The Location
The location of the hostel is one of the best you could ask for. It is located ten minutes' walking from the Forbidden City, the Tian An Men square, the Night Market (you...

Flowering House Hostel
84%
"Wonderful hospitality and peaceful place in the heart of Beijing - My sister and my nieces and I stayed at Flowering House Hostel for three nights. The access to Beijing was wonderful and very easy. I loved being in a hutong and finding an oasis in the middle of a very crowded neighborhood. The manager Daniel spoke great English and was uncannily perceptive about our needs. For example, it was very hot and my sister and I shared a king bed room that had no air conditioner the first night. When we returned from our day out and about, Daniel...

Shanglin Hostel - Leo Hostel 2
77%
(Qianmen Gateway Area)
"Friendly, accommodating, good price, typical Chinese shower - We got a king-size bed for 160 kuai, great compared to the normal hotels around 500 for that type of room. It's a beautiful place, the inner decor is in itself worth looking at. And they provide free hot water. Only issue was cold water showers, during my stay they repaired it, but the water never quite reached what I'm used to, but it was bearable. It's about a ten-minute walk from the Hepingmen subway, which in early January is a fairly painful walk. I would suggest the place...

Wangfujing International Youth Hostel

(DongCheng District)
"Disappointed - I stayed at this place with a friend earlier this year. I was extremely disappointed with our experience. We booked several nights but stayed only one, forced to forfeit the deposit and move to a much better nearby hostel (can't remember its name, however recall it was highly rated in the Lonely Planet and was a hotel which had moved downstream to become a hostel, yet still retains its hotel standards). This was my first time hosteling on a trip through a few Asian countries including China. We researched places before...

Beijing King's Joy Youth Hostel
46%
(Xicheng District)
"We came here once in January 2005 and once in April 2005. In January it was quite good. It was very warm and nice in the room (two-bed room) and the service was ok, although not everyone spoke perfect English. It was a little hard to find the hostel by taxi but once we were on the street, a local showed us were it was. In April though, the heating was turned off and it was very cold in the rooms. The service was not that good anymore. But the overall experience was ok." … "We reserved a double room at this hostel on this Web site. When...

HI - Beijing - Zhaolong International Hostel

(Chaoyang District)
"Well, it's a Hostel. Nothing more, nothing less. The rooms are clean, there is sometimes strange smell in the corridors, and the staff is lazy but friendly. This hostel is a good starting point to discover the city." … "The Zhaolong is behind the hotel of the same name, but you won't see more than their trashbins. It is right in the westerners ghetto of Sanlitun (nan)lu. I suggest staying here perhaps for a night if you feel a bit homesick; stay elsewhere in the city the rest of the time, 'cause that's the reason for coming to china,...

"My boyfriend and I stayed there for five days in May. We both love this place. Location is good, close to bus stops and other visiting sites. The puppy there is so cute." … "Not a bad hostel -- good location, comfortable atmosphere, but the bathrooms could do with some more cleaning and the toilets and showers separated. The day my girlfriend and I arrived we were told our room wasn't available (though we had reserved ahead), but only for that night. Good prices though, so overall a reasonable choice." … "… and the railway...

Eastern Morning Sun Youth Hostel

"I was planning to go to this hostel for all of my eleven days i wanted to spend in Beijing. Too bad the reception desk people weren't that fond of hospitality. The only people that were really nice were the people that had to open my room every time i locked it when i went outside. Because when i arrived there i would only stay for a few nights in this hostel. So i didnt get my own key. So they had to open my room every time for me. Even the first night i wanted to take a nice shower i was completely surprised. They didn't even had any hot...
