Really nice hostel, I would like to recommend it to everyone. I stayed for 2 nights and joined the great wall tour. My room is cozy and very clean, the staffs are really helpful, they know the area very well and very friendly. Also the great wall tour is amazing, we went to a secret great wall, which is not know by many tourists.

Fantastic hostel!! The hostel is really nice and very friendly. The bathroom was also clean. They are very into energy conservation so the shower is on a timer, which wasn't as bad as I thought...water is nice and hot! Location is pretty good, not too far from central city (metro very close). Amazing food too!

Has just gone under some big reconstruction and is looking better than before.. just need to attract some more people to get a vibe going on in the hostel. Location is one of the best in Beijing. Noodles will look after you if you need help, he is a good guy.. The beds in the twin rooms were a bit uncomfortable, but not the worst by Chinese standards.

The rooms were newly renovated but smelled very bad, the dust from the renovation was left all over the floor and tables in the room. We requested to move rooms as the first one smelled awful. The second room was better even though at first we were told ''but all the rooms smell bad''. Arrived at 3:30 am, check in took over 30 minutes, disrupted half way through by a drunk prostitute asking staff for a translation to 'pick up', NICE! The location is excellent and the tour to the wall was good..

Leo Hostels is in renovation and nobody told us. So we were directed to Leo courtyard one km. down the road. poor room,tv didn\'t work,bad sheets and towels,to lock the door was very difficult.So we left after one night and we didn\'t get back our deposit for the remaining three nights.

As the Leo organization is expanding most of the experienced staff were occupied elsewhere. However, it was warm, good internet access (for China) and common rooms. Kitchen and food OK.

We were at Leo Hostel Courtyard, because the normal Leo gets a new floor. The staff was very friendly and the location is near by Metroline and Forbidden City. The Leo Bar was also very nice. But the rooms were dirty and cold, especially the bathrooms were mildew. The roomservice only cleaned up the dust bin and nothing else. So you got no new towels without asking. Result: You can stay here very cheap when you don't have too much demant for cleanness.
