My first impression was the friendliness of the welcome from the owner. It is a typical hostel and found about 10 minutes from the local metro station down a hutong. I have enjoyed the free breakfasts and have slept well in the small dormitory. They have all the facilities that you would want accepting that this is not a hotel.... More

This was our first place to stay on our trip through China. I have to admit that going down the little back alley was a bit daunting at first but it couldn't have been less scary in the end! You get to see a little slice of the real Chinese culture walking to and from the hostel which is nice!... More

This was my second time in Beijing and I am SO glad I stayed at Chinese Box. Yes, it's not right near Tiananmen Square like the other hostels, but it is still convenient (only a few stops away) and wayyy more tranquil (if you want to avoid some of the hustle and bustle of the congested city center). Everyone at... More

That really a wonderful time, People who run it really look after you, in any situation. Cosy, Friendly and very homely. The standard room has a massive bed bigger than a king size. We could fit at least 4 people. Go to visit. It is central.

This was the first hotel during our very first trip to China! The whole team at Chinese Box made it memorable before and during! They answered all our queries before the trip and gave us a tonne of useful information during the trip! We booked the Great Wall tour with them and as promised no shopping!

Very friendly and professionally run hotel in Beijing. Very good location (next to Xisi metro station). The stuff speaks good English and provide any information or help that you ask for. They also organize a reliable trips to the Great Wall and Tibet (in advance) with good rates. Besides, you feel like at home with them. Go for it!

The hostel is very quirky, located in a traditional area and close to a metro station. The staff are really helpful and friendly, giving us various directions. They also cooked a very tasty homecooked meal and a free, simple but nice breakfast is included in the price. A very enjoyable stay!

Nice hostel close to the xisi tube station, which has quick access to the metro lines for the forbidden city and other popular sightseeing spots. Staff are very friendly and helpful, the family meal they put on for a small fee every Wednesday is beautiful food.

This is my second stay at Chinese Box Hostel and I am just as please as the first time I was here. Located about 10-15 minute walk from the Xi-Si subway, Chinese Box is also about an easy one hour or so walk to Tiananmen Square. Getting to Chinese Box may have you feeling a little worried because it is... More
