King's Joy International Hostel Reviews

In many ways this was a very good budget hotel. It is located very close to Tiananmen Square. It is quiet and the staff are efficient. It has a good tour and travel booking facility. The one thing that could have improved it is if you didn't have lots of black marks on the walls of the hotel rooms. I had two stays here and more than one room could have done with a lick of paint or at the least some scrubbing.

Good hostel! Good location too, in a nice street (not so crowded)

Common room up near the bar good for relaxing, but more hotelish than like a hostel. Great location for Tiananmen sq and 2 stops from Beijing train station and lots of places to eat around. For the price I would stay again.

Breakfast not very appealing to Westerners. Room nice and clean but stains on the wall and ceiling. Staff very nice and helpful. Booked matiayu tour from here,very good. Location brilliant...close to hutongs,tiannamen square, forbidden city and quianmen underground. Road is quite noisy outside.top bar very nice food And chilled atmosphere with great views of Beijing

We checked out after having spent a few nights in the KJIH on a Saturday morning for a two days trip to the wall, with having made a reservation for another 4 nights. When we arrived late at Sunday evening the Receptionist and the MoD told us, that they can’t check us in, because we had just copies of our passports and the visa. Needless to say that a nearby hotel accepted the same copies.as the King’s Joy H. had it. If you want to feel like a real guest we wouldn't recommend going there!!!

Everything was really great! The staff took good care of us. This place is excellent value for money. One small thing: the service at the bar was quite slow. There were only 6 of us in the bar and we waited 25 min for breakfast (and were late for the trip to the Great Wall)

Impressive Service - second to none. The hot water in our room was not working. I was impressed that someone looked into the issue and fixed it as soon as I raised the matter to the reception. The hotel organized a taxi for us from hotel to the airport. When we arrived at the airport, I was pleasantly surprised that someone from the hotel met us and carried our luggages and showed as the way to the departure lounge - what a service.

I like this hostel and have stayed here multiple times because of it's good location (close to Tian an men and the center of Beijing) and also because of the cleanliness of the whole place. Sometimes the staff are not all that friendly but there are a few at the front desk who are more kind and helpful. I would recommend this place to people in the future.

It is a really good choice to discover Beijing!

Rooms were good, but the 'hostel' was on the upper floors of the hotel, and the lower floors seemed to be used exclusively for Chinese tour groups. This was not a problem, apart from the fact that you didn't get to see new arrivals coming through the communal area as in other (good) hostels (which is a great way to meet people). The bar area was on the top floor with great views and good food, but the staff were not good, spoke very little English and there was no atmosphere.

Good Place, make sure to tell the guest which bed its free in the dorms...

The staff at reception down stairs could not have been more helpful however the staf in the bar up stairs were loude, fighting with each other, not welcoming to the customers.

The position is great!Just 2 minutes walk from Tien 'an men square! It is clean and cheep. But the wifi connection didn't work so well and we could just use it at 6th floor and not in the whole building. There were not lookers in the room, so we used the luggage store at the front desk, safety but annoying. However, the overall impression is positive.

The best deal for a Hostel in my Whole life (20 years travelling!). Best location in Beijing to stay. Close to main atractions , metro, shopping, etc.

I took a private room for two nights there. It was not really a hostel but more like a hotel. For my private room, it was a pleasant stay, with a very clean room and toilet. However, there was no wifi available. Only a LAN connection. Besides, it is located quite close to subway station & forbidden city.

The location is good and no doubt the rooms are kept clean. But hey, the staff is unfriendly to say the least (and utterly rude and un-cooperative to say it all). If you don't need to deal with the staff at all, then it's a good choice. Otherwise, truly look for one of the hostels nearby (they may not be as professionally clean as this one but they're all way more helpful and frinedly than this one

I took king's joy hostel two nights in 6 dormitory. First impressions : It was large enough room(combined two rooms), but the facility will be disappointed if you are looking forward to very clean. It seems not frequently clean but when you call the reception, changing the pillow and blenket immediately. Staffs : Staffs was very kind to help me, but there are disadvantages that staffs can hardly the English. Toilet : There was a one toilet in the room, so need to adjust the time to use toile

Very close to Tian'anmen square and the metro station Qianmen on line 2, and the area is very nice (many little streets for shopping, eating, foot massages...). I shared a dormitory with friends, for 35RMB/person/night, so it was really a good deal ! However King's Joy feels more like an hotel than a youth hostel... But there is a bar at sixth floor which is very nice. Staff was efficient. Totally recommand it.

This place was great, for the location and the money you can't go wrong. The rooms are nice and clean, staff were very helpful, is in a great location within walking distance from Tiananmen Square ect, subway close by and surrounded by lots of hutongs and little laneways with some great restaurants etc. Their great wall was also really good. It has a great little bar upstairs where I met lots of people during my stay. Would definitely recommend people to stay here

More of a hotel than hostel atmosphere but the nice bar makes up for a lot! Very big, clean and nice dorms.
