King's Joy International Hostel Reviews

Staff very nice, very helpful it is really easy to get good informations. Nice atmosphere and quiet place. Just one bad point, the room wasn\'t perfectly clean (dust behind bed and bathroom dirty behing toilet too). But it is still a goog place to stay for a while. Thank see you.

This place is a hotel with dorm rooms and you should not expect the normal hostel experience. It is located in a great part of Beijing and there is much to see and do. The view from the bar is great but the prices are not espeially if you want to play pool.

I thought this place would be a hostel, but it\'s actually a hotel. It was nice though, but I didn\'t like the location because it was too busy.

Avarage hostel with a good location. The smell from all the cigarettsmoke was unbearable

hostel was a great stay, the location was excellent and the rooftop bar was great you carnet get a better location than this hostel its bang in the middle of everything. only downfall was the wi-fi and internet found it very rarely worked and when it di it was only for about 5 minutes at a time other than that a great stay !

The internet works really slow here. Food in the Roof Top/Sky Bar is not very good. As far as the location, it is GREAT! The rooms were VERY clean and was the cleanest hostel I have ever stayed in. Staff was freindly in setting up tours and cabs. This is a Smoking Hostel, which sucks.

The staff were really nice and helpful, especially Sally, Manman and Candy. The location was superb as it was in Old Beijing and pretty close to the subway. I stayed at the 4-person mixed dorm, and the room was quite clean, but there was a bit of mildew in the bathroom. The tours they offer are really expensive though. One thing that squeaks me is the fact that the bathroom has no locks at all, so anyone could've walked into you at any time. Also, it's a smoking hostel.

Dorms are very spacious, feels more like a hotel. Excellent value for money.

Very busy hostel attached to a hotel. Easy to find, great location, really nice staff (especially in the "business room"). Internet was awful though.

Very nice place

What I can say about this place is that it is clean (although the bathroom had black mold, perhaps better ventilation would help that) and in a perfect location, only 5 minute walk to the main sights! The staff unfortunately were not helpful or friendly and often had an attitude which was unpleasant. My main problem was when I asked for a piece of paper I was given a copy of someone elses passport which was shocking and very unsettling, who knows how many copies of passports are floating around

We booked two nights here and were very pleased with the location and value for the money. When we tried to extend our stay, the staff tried to charge us 3x the internet price until we spoke with the manager. The staff will also tell you they have no rooms, however, once again you can book a room online and it will magically appear. The wifi did not work well throughout the hotel, but the wired connection in our room worked fine. We really liked our stay here and found it to be a great value.

Staff were mixed, the receptionist when we checked in was incredibly unhelpful - first she didn't have the room we wanted, only the more expensive one. Then once I produced a booking number she was unable to look it up as the 'sales manager' wasn't there, 15 minutes later we're in the correct room, correct price. Don't get put off by this - it's pretty common throughout China. The assistant manager (Robert) and the helpdesk ladys were all wonderful and very friendly. Going back here next week!!

I really enjoyed my stay at Kings Joy! The location is perfect, the rooms are good value for money. I tried both the twin bed room and the four persons dorm. But above all the staff is so friendly and warm. They will take care of you and do their best to up the quality of your stay. The hotel has several amenities as bicycle for rent, a great restaurant (try the Peking duck there!) a nice bar on the top 6th floor with a nice view of the surounding hutongs. I highly recommend Kings Joy!

The location is perfect and the rooms are good value for money. there is a nice bar on the top 6th floor with a nice view. The bed were a little bit warm for the hot May weather, but the bed itself was very comfortable. However, it is felt more like a hotel than a hostel.

Excellent service and nice pool table! The duvets on the bed were a little bit warm for the hot May weather, but the bed itself was very comfortable.

The hostel location is excellent and the service was good as well. O will probably be back soon.

Everything was ok, just one gay in the front desk was so angry all the time, the girls nice, the food yummy, just they took too much time to bring, but very nice we njoy a lot Beijing it\'s very convenient.

Great hostel in every way (rooms, location etc) I would easily stay much longer Strongly recommended

It was very convenient that they exchanged currencies right at the hotel registration desk, however they never had any RMB in the mornings - the desk clerk told us that they started each day with only 10,000 RMB for exchange - that seems too little, as tourists will often want to exchange in the mornings.
