Very helpful, friendly staff. Lovely clean, nodern facilities, reasonably close [ 5 minute walk] to Subline 5 station. Very informative wall displays with details of location, costs, what to see and do in Beijing. A well run hostel with nothing left out!

This hostel is a reflection of the whole of China: clean facilities, but holes in your linen; cozy café/bar, but overpriced; helpful staff, but no common area. However, generally I liked the place and I can definitely recommend it!

Staff were great, as is the bar/restaurant on the ground floor. Everyone was very helpful and I really couldn't have asked for any better.

It's a bit hard to find, we arrived to beijing close to 23:00 and started walking from the airport shuttle train. Google maps was in a mess so we went the wrong way. Started talking to people around but they just answer in chinese. 4 cab drivers shook their head and drove away when they saw the address, ended up going into car with some guy who found it for us, paid him 10¥ wich I think is good. But Zhizhonglu station is just around the corner! Just one bathroom for everybody, staff really nice.

Rooms were quite small and felt cramped.

By default, private rooms should be cleaned daily unless the guest put in her room's door know the sign "do not clean". In my case, I already put the sign "make up my room pls" but they did not do the cleaning with the reason that the room is private.

maExcellent hostel, great location minutes from metro, staff is so helpful. Bar prices are little steep for your everyday backpacker and bar sees to be the only place to mingle in and meet other travelers. Would definately stay here again.

The alley way where it's situated looks a little sketchy, but once inside, it's a fantastic little haven. The staff was by far my favorite part of Beijing. They always had smiles on their faces, were always helpful, and a big shout-out to Apple for being such a sweetheart. She was so kind, friendly and overall just an awesome person. Wish there could be more people in the world like her.

Very clean hostel with friendly staff and a great bar to drink a bear after a long hike through the city or for having a western breakfast in the morning. The tour to the Great Wall was amazing. We would stay here again.

Basically, the hostel is average, except the location near subway and the staff is friendly and useful. While the facilities there really needs improvement, for my 7-day stay there, wifi fails for 2-3 days. the shower water is not hot, and you have to let it go for about 20 mins to run out the cold water. Anyway, if you are looking for a budget hostel, and not much expectation, it is still a good choice.

The dorm was really good with plug, light and locker. Location is good, close to metro station to go everywhere. Have only two common toilet in a second floor and that is not enough for all the people in dorm.
