I mostly liked the very friendly staff and the good atmosphere, they helped me a lot with the organisation of my holidays and gave me all the help you need in China as a foreigner.The location of the hostel is very nice, because it is situated in a typical Hutong, an all Chinese neigbourhood. Its about 30 min. walk to the forbidden city.

The rooms were accessed by a balcony and there was an area outside where you could sit. There was a lot of bus advice from staff

Everything! We have been travelling for 5 months now around the world and have stayed in MANY hostels. This one has been the best. All the amenities -- internet, food, book exchange, laundry -- plus the most friendly and helpful staff we have ever met. To top it off, the courtyard house setting is beautiful. Would HIGHLY recommend.

The staff are very friendly and helpful, the courtyard is gorgeous and it is great to stay in a traditional Beijing hutong. A really cute little youth hostel where I made loads of friends.

The staff in the hostel was very nice and helpful. the spoke very good english in comparision to other chinese people. If you don't stay there in the high season you have a room for yourself sometimes with your own bathroom. I came back for a second time...

The staff at the hostel were very friendly and personal and made us feel very welcome! Staying in a hutong was also a nice experience that you wouldn't get from staying at a regular hotel.

Very clean room and bathrooms. There was no sign out side the building to say where or what it was. This needs to be seariously addressed, everybody that stayed here couldnät find it and had to ask. A simple sign on the outside would be enough. Or a better explinantion of where it was. The dark alley you have to walk down is a scarry prospect on your first visit to china. Other than that its very nice.

Very clean and secure. Lots of info available in the reception area. Didnt find one taxi driver who knew how to reach the hostel. Make sure that you have the address written down in LARGE Chinese characters. Taxi drivers were unable to read the location from the map provided by the site.

Brilliant atmosphere. Felt like we were staying out in the mountains somewhere rather than in the middle of the city.

Super staff in this place - genuinely friendly and really helpful, especially with giving directions to just about anywhere in Beijing. Lovely location right in the heart of a non-touristy hutong.
