Most of the staff don't care to learn and speak in English, which is the language understood by majority of the guests

Fellow guests are mostly tourists who are friendly and understand English. I have made many friends from the guests.

Very limited bar essentially an outdoor area. E locks on doors are very loud. Also the hairdryer use should be restricted to before midnight as the use of them echoes around the whole hostel. Alternatively, sound proof the toilet/shower area. Limited toilets/showers to ratio of guests. Games room with foosball table? I did ask but the staff did not understand, so as far as I'm aware no footie

Cheap for Beijing.

Stayed in April 2024

Incredibly expensive for a hostel, but it's Beijing, soo... Staff don't speak much English. The AC in my dorm was sucking in cigarette smoke one night, it was terrible.

Nice and comfortable, located in a quiet neighbourhood with a subterranean food court and convenience store nearby. Very social common area. Paid washing machines available, so are clothes lines outside.

Would be great if the beds had curtains.

Location, very close to the subway and easy to find. Clean place. Nice staff,the owner speaks English. A big area to hang out, there are drinks,coffee and breakfast to order at the reception. I stayed in a 4 beds room and we had enough space. It seems there's not big choice of hostels in Beijing anymore and hotels are ridiculously expensive. So I really liked this place for affordable price and location.

Uncomfortable beds, and a distinct lack of cleanliness in the rooms, including stains on the walls and dust/ grime everywhere. The outdoor areas where under construction and unable to be used. You have to make your own bed, and strip it when done, not the biggest deal, but certainly usual for a hostel. Expensive for how grim the rooms are.

Nice common room, and decently well located. The showers and toilets were very clean. Heating in the room was warm! Friendly staff, although they speak very little English.

They clean a lot everyday; but like there is so many people, sometimes toilettes are not very clean. But ok for me. It would be better is the price was cheaper.

It is a normal good hostel. What I enjoyed the Most was the hostel atmosphere. Lots of travelers. The staff is very friendly & helpful as well. Location is Perfect. I do not recommend the 6-bed rooms; 4-bed rooms are much better.

Walls are kind of thin - nothing ear plugs cannot fix 🙂 Two young female staff members seem to prioritize their tasks more than providing customer service (dunno, maybe it was a few busy days). Some of the locals smoke in the toilet, but thats actually a nation wide problem and not hostel specific.

After reading some reviews, I booked for only one night to sus things out. After a night, I extended my stay for 5 nights. I stayed in a 6 dorm and didnt have any issues. The limited toilets and showers were cleaned often and i never had to wait in line (in December). I found half of the staff extremely helpful (they helped me buy a charger cable and tripod, delivered on the same day) and the two younger women not so helpful. Id say this hostel reflects the price you pay. For me it wasnt bad at all, just like any budget hostel in europe/asia.

I was there in January and the common room and bathroom areas were not heated. It was extremely cold when in those areas. The dorm room was heated so that was fine. Also there was only one person that spoke English and he wasn’t always there when needed. We did use translators and that worked fine.

It was close to the metro and close to the Hutong district. I could walk around the streets .

Stayed in January 2024

No hot water in the room shower, only in the common room, very cold inside in the winter, I was in my winter coat all the time, the receptionist barely speaks English, you cannot pay in person with Visa or Mastercard.

Not so far from metro and city centre

Initially, it was weapon factory it’s made up hostel or hotel needs improvement heating cooling

Central location there’s a language barrier but they’re trying to help you with everything. Cozy convenient place definitely covers the basics.

Can be noisy at night because the door of the room don't block sounds from common areas where people hangout late, and it's see through so there's light coming in the room, so consider bringing earplugs and sleeping mask. My first day wifi was not working, then it was ok but not consistent. Not so negative but showers are very basic with no soap or shampoo so bring yours. There are only 2 showers and 2 toilets in the hostel. I saw staff members clean the bathrooms (sinks, shower, toilets, floor etc) several times every day, but the toilets really smelled like piss when I was there. Maybe don't go in barefoot or with only socks on.

Great location (next to a convenience store open very early and very late and a Starbucks. Very close to subway station, Lama temple, Costa Coffee and street with many restaurants). Clean sheets and pillowcase provided (pay extra for towel). Room very warm in winter. My first day the staff member at the reception was not very polite (not mean, but not warm either), but the rest of my stay they were all nice and super helpful when I needed something or when I made bookings with them. They sell drinks, noodle cups and cigarettes. Overall great value and nice for short stays. My room was clean and space was ok. Very easy to meet people.

Disgusting toilets, but I think it’s more about the people who lived there. But also they used to much bleach for cleaning the bathroom and my clothes are ruined now..

I liked the people there! Meet so many nice souls.

If you use Chinese apps could be cheaper … ask for the prices there.
