We stayed few nights there. The room was small but decent. Bathroom rather old and small, and the shower is 'open', so that every time one has to use it, the entire bathroom gets wet. Good Internet connectivity, sometimes even for a fluid VOiP call. The bar / restaurant has not really an inviting look&feel: the room is small and... More

Location is very good. Near subway Dongsi Station, and also walking distance (for me) to Jingshan Park. I just take a leisure walk, and it's just 15 minutes to Jingshan Park. From Jingshan Park to Beihai Park is only 10 minutes. First I came to Forbidden City in 2006, we can enter through north Entrance in front of Jingshan Park,... More

I stayed with my girlfriend for 3 nights and we really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were super friendly. The building was old and cosy and the bar area was great to sit in. Beer prices were a little expensive but still cheap enough. We asked to extend our stay by a day and they arranged it with no... More

Our twin room was tiny but it's about right for the price. The location is 5 min from Dongsi metro station- perfect! The only thing is that the exact location of the hostel is smack in the middle of a back alley surrounded by the market and could be hard for the taxi to find. So print out the location... More

The place is great, good location, bar and food. However during our leve the staff would not give us our key deposit back unless we had a little receipt we were given at the very start. I mean what "proof" do they need that we had stayed there. Beijing was full of scammers and overall rude people (with exceptions of... More

We were really surprised by the value you get for the money. Hostel is at a great location with a lot of good restaurants and near the central shopping district.
