26 November 2009	Jonathan Booth It's at a good location and the heating in the room is great, making the rooms cozy. The staff are friendly, it's clean and secure. Plus there is lots of information for day trips and help in navigating Beijing.	97%

23 November 2009	Daniel Kaars The location couldn't be better, 5 minutes from all the main sights in the city centre. The food is excellent and the staff very friendly, and they really help you with everything. I needed to buy western medicine and as soon as Kane, the owner, knew about this, he started calling a list of pharmacies and when he found one that had what I needed, he even came with me to serve as an interpreter!!! I have been travelling around China for a while and I'd never met friendlier staff members in a hostel. The best place to stay when you come to Beijing!	100%

23 November 2009	Lara Orlando The food is excellent and the location couldn't be better, just 3 blocks from Tiananmen Square and very near all the food markets and the International Bookstore. You almost don't need to pay for any taxis if you stay here. The staff is more than helpful and friendly. I had booked a dorm for one night and a private double room for another, and they gave me a double room for both nights, keeping the original price. The best place to stay in Beijing, definitely.	100%

23 November 2009	Lara Orlando The best hostel to stay in Beijing. The location is perfect, just 3 blocks from The Forbidden City, and the food is excellent (I recommend the American breakfast!). The staff is more than friendly and they help you with everything you need. I needed to buy western medicine and Amanda, the girl from the cafeteria, even came to the Pharmacy next door with me to interpret for me. Amazing!	100%

17 October 2009	Nancy Staniland The hostel is in a great location and the doom rooms clean and fairly big, only downside is that the bathroom is a bit of a treck outside to get to especially if you need to go in the night. Staff were helpful but not that friendly, I spent most of my time at the social hostel round the corner.	75%

14 October 2009	Sheri Harmsworth I found it was a good place to meet people.	85%

30 September 2009	vanessa maire If your are looking for a bed in a charming universe right in the heart of Central Beijing off Qianmen district and its very authentic Hutong area, Quian Men hostel is the one. I really relaxed and ended up staying twice longer in Beijing thanks to this cosy place. They even daily deep clean dorms that have remote control for air conditioning, luxury times! ;-) .. Staff are very resourceful and would try their best to help naturally .Their soft formal manners disappeared with me as they understood I preffered to have it chilled and friendly. Socialwise, no curfew, you can chat and drink in the pretty red lanterned coutyard until dawn( if you dont fool around ), that's cool with the boss! Great at all levels if only there could be more hostel like that..	100%

21 July 2009	Kathryn Lowe Very nice, sociable atmosphere, with large communal table in courtyard. Beautiful building, especially at night, friendly staff and pets. Room was simple yet comfortable. Although not the cheapest hostel in terms of internet, towel rental and trips, still good value for money	97%

30 June 2009	ADOLFO MONTALVO Excellent Location next to Tianmen Square. Surrounded by nice, traditional and exciting Hutongs with good and cheap restaurants and shopping. Funny place to socialize and exchange experience with other travellers.	82%

21 June 2009	anthony bonville The location is amazing! The building also maintains "Old Beijing" charm. The staff members are extremely friendly and the hostel is safe and clean. I took 28 US university students to Beijing and we stayed for 3 nights and had a fantastic experience at Qian Men Hostel. Even the hostel's restaurant provided tasty Western and Chinese dishes. I highly recommend the Qian Men to anyone and everyone.	100%
