Happy Dragon Hostel Reviews

Great hostel, i can really rcommend it.

Clean, friendly staff, location is also good, close to Wang Fu Jing street and hutong area. Food is also pretty good, too and they make it quickly, not like other hostels where you wait 45 minutes or more.

Great hostel in an excellent location. There's a nice bar which has delicious breakfasts. I took a day tour to great wall and would recommend it- well organised and the lunch they provided was very nice. Rooms were clean and all the facilities were to my satisfaction.

Amazing staff, freindly atmosphere

location is tops, a 7 min walk from a centrally located subway. along the route is a cheap wonton joint (11 rmb) and spicy-sour soup (12 rmb). next door is a very popular restaurant where queues form at 5.30 pm. hostel reception is staffed by some friendly and helpful girls. my dorm was warm, albeit a bit small. given that the bed price is one of the lowest in town, the travelers i met there during my stay (mostly westerners) were very nice people. wash basin water was hot, shower a trickle.

Spent 1 month travelling around china in hostels and this is the best i have been to in terms of haveing a fantastic atmosphere. It is a great place to base yourself in Beijing and does a good Great Wall tour with a decent meal at the end of it which is well worth the money. The bar is a great place to meet people and does nice food. Would def come back here next time i stay in Beijing.

It was a great hostel full of lovely people and staff, I'd like to go back one day.

They had an issue with the heating and so they sent us to their sister hostel. Before we left though we viewed the bar area and it was really nice and it seemed like a really good atmosphere. It was during the day but still there were many people hanging out and a very friendly bartender. Also they had outlets that could fit with any plugs which is very convenient for travelers. The sister hostel looked just like a hotel and had a nice bar area. They even had a party going for the New Year.

Pretty decent for the price, good location, great staff.

A fantastic place to stay! the staff are extremely helpful and eager to please, very very clean, I loved the bar area. New Year's eve, such an amazing atmosphere watching the fireworks outside that night, do not leave without ordering some dumplings at the bar! compliments to the chef! genuinely a really lovely place.The Great Wall trip I booked at reception was AMAZING, be prepared some steps are so high my knees hit my face, coming down is worse! but the mountains are beautiful. I love the HD!

I was in Happy Dragon for 5 days. The adress and directions than they sent me to arrive in the hostel was perfect, it was really easy to get there by subway.I booked for three days. They are so nice and have a good english, I can recommend 100 % to stay there. In the bar there are 1 girl than speak spanish as well. They gave me a lot of good information in the reception, they helped me a lot, and not just once, but many times. Thank you Peach, Abby, Winona, Lisa, Tony (guide) and mainly SALLY

Great hostel! The staff were really friendly and helpful with everything. The hostel bar was a great place to chill and the food was good value for money. Only downer was the lack of a real central heating system, but in the summer that wouldn't be a problem and this hostel would be perfect. Great stay and will definitely go back there if in Beijing again!

I DON`T KNOW WHO THE OTHER REVIEWER MET ABOUT THE STAFF BUT WITH US THEY WERE VERU UNFRIENDLY!!! ECXEPT FOR ---SALLY---!! ONLY THE LAST DAY THEY TRYED TO FIX THINGS, ONLY AFTER A COURTEIN AND A PIECE OF WALL FELT ON MY BED AFTER A COLD BREAKFAST, AFTER A FORGOTTEN BOOKING!! VERY NOISY, IS GOOD IF YOU ARE 18 YO! BUT... IS THE CHEAPEST IN TOWN!

Had a good experience at Happy Dragon. Met other backpackers that were very friendly and made some good friend there. All staff spoke fairly good English but there were one or two staff members that excelled in English. Highly recommend their Mutianyu Great Wall tour. It was beautiful with the snow and we had a pretty good lunch included. We also opted for the cable car up and the toboggan down. We watched the acrobatics show. It was strange. Very Chinese. Thanks for a great time, Happy Drag

We only stayed the night as we had an early flight the next day. Seemed fine to us.

Best hostel in Beijing because of Sally, Peach, Abby & all staff. English speaking, caring and helpfull friend. Whenever we need something, the respond was very quick. The staff helped us booked hostel n taxi for our next journey. Best bed and nice American breakfast. Very close to the mrt, shops n market. Close to Yummy restaurants for Beijing roast duck too. Luggage storage available. Definitely will come back here whenever I'm in Beijing. Thank you from Frans, Sherley and Novi from Indonesia

Nice staff, nice people, more than comfortable rooms, very clean. Room and bathroom was cleaned everyday. Super! :)

Very friendly and helpfull staff

The staff was incredibly helpful with booking train tickets, tours and anything else a foreigner would need help with. The people staying there were also a friendly crowd so it made for a great atmosphere. The hostel's location was a little tricky to find off of a side street and alley, but it's conveniently located within walking distance of the metro, Forbidden City and Tiannamen Square. The Great Wall tour that the hostel organizes is also a great deal. All around welcoming place to stay.

Happy Dragon Hostel is by far the best hostel i have ever stayed in. I don't normally leave reviews, but I felt inclined to do so. The staff is what makes this hostel the best. I have never met a group of staff members that had as much patience as these people did. They went out of their ways to help me book my train tickets for my whole China trip since the spring festival was around the corner. Thank you, Sally, Winona, Lisa, and Peaches. I'm glad we became friends! Ling Da Ming (Tom)
