11 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It is very well located, in a nice quieter street near a very busy city center. Also, it was a very cheap dorm, one of the cheapest in China I've found. There is a hotel upstairs and I think, the hostel, although more expensive has better standards.

Disliked: The hostel rooms are in the basement, ours was the last one in the corridor - opposite to the bar and next to the kitchen, and although there was no customers there, staff was very loud, waking us at 7 in the morning. But I think that the worst was the dirty bathroom, it seemed like nobody bothered to clean it during the 5 days we stayed there.

Liked: I had to take the taxi back from a show that I wanted to see. I was supposed to be picked up and dropped off, however, I was the only one going. So they paid for my taxi. When the taxi was more than what they gave me, I showed the receipt and they reimbursed me. They also rebooked me for a tour since my original tour guide "forgot" to pick me up the morning of my tour.

Disliked: I had to ask more than three times for the bathroom to be cleaned. This was the shared bathroom for the dorm rooms. They never cleaned it. When I arrived, they had to change my bed, even though the people there before me had checked out earlier in the day. I also had to remind them to change the bed next to me. It took them until the next day to do so. When I ordered my food and had to get it to go, they put it in a used plastic back and no utensils. The place is not worth staying at and should be shutdown.

Liked: Excellent Chinese Breakfest for 10RMB all you can eat

28 November 2010

Liked: I traveled with my mom so I love how close it is to the subway. They have free wifi at the basement bar and you can use their PCs for free. It is very cheap to stay here.

Disliked: They are currently renovating the hotel so it's looking newer now. It doesn't mask the "old" smell though. The toilets stank. We were ready to go to another hotel after the first night but they moved us to the top floor (4th) which didn't smell as bad. The walls are paper-thin and we can hear other tourists in the other room. If you sleep before midnight, think first before booking here. Beds are also very hard, as with most beds in China.

11 November 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Cheap with good location close to subway, restaurants and shops.

Disliked: Doorkeys completely disfunctional, well for our dorm room anyway, but the staff were helpful with that. Didn't get clean bed linen during the week. Laundry price is overrated and apparently you can hassle the price down.

18 October 2010 Lai Hong would recommend this property

Liked: location is very good. Very near to subway (walking distance less then 5 minutes). safe and very friendly staff. Near to shopping area and lots of restaurant and wet market. Near the traffic police station. The next trip to beijing, I will still choose to stay here. There is a small shop in front of the hostel which run by the staff, drinks are cheaper than other place... beer, orange juice etc.... I suggest those who wish to visit Great Wall to book the trip from the hostel... very reasonable price with great English speaking tour guide... value for money... provide private van and great lunch... Ask for discount if you are booking the family trip. Very good for family stay... we love the hostel

Disliked: I think is the toilet... clean but very smelly...

05 October 2010

Liked: Staff spoke english. Breakfast was good. Hostel was quiet.

Disliked: We came by train and informed beforehand our arrival time, but hostel said that we have to first arrive at the railway station before they coming to pick up us. Therefore when we arrived at the railway station of Beijing, we waited at least for half an hour before they came (and it was raining...). When we were leaving we asked if the staff would called to taxi but they didn't do it. We wondered it because we knew that they called the taxi to some other clients. Service was unfair.

Liked: The man who booked our tickets for the opera, in a small desk near the front one, was really nice and helpful.The location was OK too.

Disliked: Lots of things: it was dirty, cold and wet. Many things were broken or didn't work, and the staff was not helpful at all.

18 June 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The batheroom is clean and pretty and the bedroom is good despite its small size ; but the bed is really hard. The staff speaks english and the locqtion is pretty good next the subway et near the main sightseeing. You can go there but i think that Saga Hostel, which is next to this youth Hostel, is better, more beautiful and funnier too (according to what I saw).
