Stayed at this hostel during very cold weather, and so didn't appreciate the intermittent central heating and lack of hot showers. Staff friendliness was hit and miss. Would stay here in the warmer months, but not during the colder months.

Placed in an small hutong. A small tourist information desk inside the hostel, that affords a lot of different tours an tickets. Very nice staff! The twin ensuite rooms are really big and nice. If I go to Beijing once more, I would definitely stay here again. A lot of food (and breakfast) to choose among on the hostel´s menu, and quite cheap internet on good computers. About 5 minutes walk to the closest subway station. English speaking staff. I can´t think of anything that is bad here, the best hostel I´ve ever stayed in.

A hostel worth it price, situated in a hutong area that is not crowded with tourists. The lokal life is going on around you. Exactly what I wanted.

The hostel was easy enough to find, with the help of locals and some directions. The staff was good, but small, making some of the processes like checking-in or getting food sometimes pretty difficult. It is also a place that many different travelers use, making it a safe place to store your things and sleep for the night. But unfortunately for these rooms, they were quite dirty: the bathroom drain was clogged, the tile was filthy, and the beds needed to be cleaned long before we arrived. Also, there are no towels, television accesses, or wi-fi internet, making some of the email checking and picture uploading impossible. Overall, a 7 or 6.5 out of 10.

The room was very spacious, clean and there was an internet connection in my room for my laptop free of charge. My room had an outside window although not all of them have. Restaurant offered very good food. Nice atmosphere and lovely hutong. Only to bad that the price of the room during the games was 880 instead of the 220 that I payed when I was there. Would have loved to go back but that was not an option. Shame that they don't give special offers to returning guests.

It looks more like a hotel than a hostel.

some of the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, the acrobatic show and great wall excursion were enjoyable though the journey to and from each place were shabbily hustled together.

Located on a delightful Hutong, the location is quite convenient to the Forbidden City - we walked there - and to shopping and other sights. The rooms are comfortable, and cheap eats abound nearby. We were also able to book our visit to The Great Wall and to an acrobats show at the Hostel, making it extra convenient for us.
