Beijing Leo Hostel Reviews

We enjoyed our stay at the hostel if not only for an incident which happened around 3 am when we were awaken by loud banging of our room door by one of the female staff. I know she meant well and she only wanted to help our son who was attempting to use his room key that didn't work, but there must be a better way to do that other than banging the door in that wee hour. We were so frightened and we thought there was an emergency and that made us awake all night.

What a lovely stay we've had here (mother and daughter) Rooms were clean and spacious, the staff superfriendly and great location. I can highly recommend staying here when visiting Beijing!

The staff were friendly and so helpfull. The bar was cheap and the food was good. I have been on other wall tours but I highly recommend Leo's tour to the "secret" wall it's well worth a trip! Room was clean and perfect location just 5 minutes from Tiananmen Square. 24hr reception was nice too since I left early morning. Will be staying here next time I'm in Beijing for sure.

I think the Leo Hostel is great hostel to stay. The staff is nice and they speak English, so that's very handy. The location of the hostel is in the middle of the centre with a lot of restaurants around it. We stayed more night then we had planned.

The Great Wall trip was amazing. Great for photos!

It was the First Hotel for us in china and we really enjoyed it. Good discription from the trainstation, nice location, directly in the near of the Shopping street and nice market.the Tour to the great Wall was amazing and the good is so delicious!

Extremely well-located and well-managed. Comfortable bed and excellent A/C. Through the years Leo has become the "anchor" hostel to me in Beijing, very reliable and well-run. I miss the staff from previous years, friendly and helpful. Leo is surrounded by multiple shops and restaurants, has its own restaurant and bar, a convenient supermarket next door, the XIAOLONGBAO breakfast across the way that I had every morning, only 5 minutes to subway and Tiananmen Square, highly worth the cheap price.

hi all, yes, I would definitely recommend this hostel. The staff, especially dustin were very helpful and went above and beyond their call of duty to help us locate some of our group that missed a flight and also other incidents that were beyond our control. Thanks Dustin. The hostel is centrally located and has all the essential and some added perks for travelers. a good place to stay.

Good location. Pretty clean. Could be cleaner tho. Staff sucked and had a bar right beside it pretty cool. Really easy to get there. Follow directions given work well

Good location, comfortable rooms. Our bathroom was stinky and the toilet kept getting clogged. We had to ask 2-3 times and wait an hour before someone came to fix it. We got late for our day out in the city. Some of the staff members were very cold mannered. One girl was really nice (sorry don't remember her name!) Internet was shaky in the rooms. Their tours are overpriced. I took 4 people to Jiankou on my own and it cost less than half of their price to the 'secret wall'.

Loved this hostel! Staff were all really friendly and accommodating, the tours they provide are the cheapest I could find (and amazing! Highly recommend the dragon gorge bungee) and its in the PERFECT location. Highly recommended !!!

Great hostel with lots to do if you need a break! Film room, bar/restaurant, board games etc. Staff are helpful with places to eat and finding internet cafes. Good location, a 5 minute walk from Tian'anmen Square. Cheap supermarket just next door.

Nice location. Dorms are ok and spacious but lots of beds in the same big room. Good atmosphere but can be a little bit noisy so take that into consideration I you want a quiet hostel to rest. Toilets and shower are average. So overall it's a good hostel, even if you can find good cheaper dorms in the same area.

Amazing hostel. Great place to meet people

Clean linen, but dirty room. Noisy

For a Chinese hostel, is OK. Toilets are clean; dorms aren’t very clean and are really noisy. The bar is cool but you can’t go with things you bought somewhere else... you don’t have a place to drink/eat things you bought outside. No kitchen, no credit cards.

Very well located hostel, best for all sightseeing, staffs is very helpful to providing tours booking, tourism information and public transportation tips. They also have maps of the activities in the area. Good western breakfast, very cheap beer Tsintao, and very good facicity. Thanks to my budy Shawn for is hospitality.

Nice hostel but this hostel need to provide mineral water like other hostels. Not only hot water.

Recommended!!! ;)

The staff are excellent and very helpful. We recommend the Great Wall tour the hostel organises as you go to the section which hasn't been reconstructed and there's plenty of time to climb it yourself (2.5hrs). We lived in a double room, which was a great size but its just off a communal area where people smoke at times. There's no Internet in the bedrooms, only the bar/restaurant area. Pls get new mattresses as they were so hard and the springs digging into my side I didn't sleep well at all.
