Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, 15mins walk from a subway station, restaurants & shops are nearby. It's close to important sightseeing sites (less than half an hour with public transport). The room is spacious, the bed solution is super interesting, comfortable and cozy. You get a quite nice view from higher floors. The room is squaky clean. All amenities are brand new. Food in the hotel restaurant downstairs is very good. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful. If in Beijing, we will definitely book again.

    As a solo backpacker I almost booked an overpriced hostel which was less then 30% cheaper than this but had average reviews. I’m so glad I booked this instead. It’s easily a 4 or 5 star hotel, with everything you need, while it’s not that expensive at all compared to the region. Staff is helpful, breakfast is extremely good and the rooms are comfortable and clean. Overall a really pleasant stay and so much more comfort and luxury. Free gym, free water, free coffee (good one even) and so on.

    Good value for money especially for Beijing. Much cheaper than Peking Youth Hostel and 10 times the atmosphere. Great common area that was busy and met many people, mostly Russians escaping their country. I am amazed that so many reviews complained of having to make and take down their bedding - what a bunch of whiners.

    Great location. Good value. We stayed here with our kids and it was a good experience for our family. It's rough around the edges, but hey, it's a hostel. The beds were clean and the shower was hot. If you don't want to explain certain words or grown up acts to your kids, don't let them read the graffiti on the walls... We'd stay here again as a cheap clean place.
