Merely a 5 minute walk from Qienmen subway station, across from a McDonald's and right in the centre of a very happening shopping area - awesome! Myself and a friend stayed here for 5 nights through our stay in Beijing and found it to be a perfect hostel for us being centrally located and good value. We stayed in a... More

We stayed here for four nights. It is brilliantly located just south of the Forbidden City and is in walking distance from the underground station. The service here is good, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the beers are cheap! The only criticism I have is that it is slightly overpriced for a hostel. One word of advice: dont go... More

Great location, 2 minutes on foot from Tian An Men Square, has a bus stop at the door, opposite a Mac Donald (it can be handy, just to grab a coffee. At least you know how much it costs! I was asked 30 RMB (5 USD) at a terrible place at the corner!), near Dushalan Street and a huton full... More

Pros - Good location, a short walk to Tiananmen square and metro train station - Love the courtyard, it looked lovely in the snow - Very helpful staff - Rooms were small but clean Cons - The cat lurking around has a habit to meow loudly outside the door in the early hours of the morning, and may try to...

Location: Good location. A street away from QianMen Pedestrian Street where there are shops, restaurant (the famous Quan Ju De is there too!), H&M, Uniqlo, SDeer (this is a Chinese brand from Suzhou and i love their dresses) and many small souvenir shops.. Lots of small shops and local eateries in MeiShi street where the hostel is. You will be... More

The location is as good as it gets in Beijing, walking distance to key sights and 5 minutes from the central subway line. Additionally, the other travelers provide diverse and entertaining company. That said, this is not a hotel, it is a budget hostel, people expecting hotel level service and rooms for $10USD/night/person are expecting too much. The dorm rooms... More

while this hostel was a bit pricy for what it offered accommodation wise, the location was perfect. easy access to the subway on the fringes of tianamen square. the rooms seemed a bit old and scruffy looking and the prices weren't exactly the best. it seems like accommodation in this part of the city is hard to come by, especially...

Stayed here for three nights in mid July. The courtyard setting is a beautiful reminder of Qing dynasty China. Great location as well, a quick 15 minutes from the forbidden city, five from the train station, line two. With that said, my group of three were forced to move rooms a total of twice over our stay of only three... More

We stayed here after moving from an awful hotel and we loved it, the staff were really kind and helpful and even came to check if I ate egg after I ordered something vegetarian. The air con is great in the summer and the rooms are clean with comfy beds, I am sure all the other reviews have mentioned that... More
