Peking International Youth Hostel Reviews

Lovely hostel - stayed in private room so not sure what dorm like. Staff lovely, wi-fi great, lovely cafe/restaurant - ate there a couple of times as it was so good! great location on lovely hutong. Booked trip to great wall of china through reception - no issues at all. More like boutique hotel than hostel. Downtown backpers just down road seemed nice too!

Had an awesome stay there!!

the staff was super helpful and always there and will go the distance to help u in any way or request you require...

This hostel does not include a common area apart from the restaurant/cafe/flower garden. This would be the greatest short coming of the place (and the lack of a kitchen is the second!) so meeting other travellers doesn't happen organically as it would in other hostels.Apart from their instance that a coffee sell for $5 the location is smack bang in the middle of a great area on the fun end of Na'n Shu Lui Xaing way.

The location is fanastic, the atmosphere cozy and relaxed and the staff friendly and helpful

Everything is amazing. Best hostel ever!

I loved this hostel, I loved the atmosphere , I loved where it was located in the Hutong, i loved the food in the cafe, i loved all the flowers and most of all i loved the staff, nothing was too much trouble. I stayed for 8 nights and I had to leave at 6 O'Clock in the morning without breakfast, when I went to my room on the last night they had left fruit for me. I enjoyed my last large apple in Japan!! Thank you all

Really I had a excellent time over my stay at the hostel for two days. Nice ambience with maintained cleanliness, very safe and good facilities. One thing i feel less is the lighting inside the rooms, it is not bright enough unless we switch on our bed reading lights.

An oasis of tranquility after the hustle and bustle of Beijing - quirky, comfortable and cosy, with wonderful staff and excellent adjoining cafe. And what's more, the owner has very green fingers - flowers and plants welcome you wherever you go !, I can't recommend it enough !

The hostel is nicely decorated with fresh flowers which create a relaxing home feeling to the atmosphere. I enjoyed so much of my 7-night stay in Peking International Youth Hostel. It is almost everything you may expect from a good hostel. It is clean, of good location, with lockers for free, stable wifi connection, hot shower, friendly and helpful staff, comfortable environment, meeting lovely people from around the world. However, it is better equipped with a self help hot waterpot.

there are definitely cheaper hostels, but none of them smell as good or have beds half as comfortable. if you're not big on no-frills sleep arrangements, this is a great place to go

I stayed at Peking International Hostel for 3 days in early March, 2013. The location is excellent (2 blocks from subway) and within walking distance of the Forbidden City and other Beijing sites. The front desk was helpful with information and Dean helped me get a ticket on the high speed train to Guangzhou. Facilities and value are about average compared to other hostels I've seen around the world. But location and helpfulness of staff were great for this American's 1st visit to China.

just good, very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. The cafe house was realy realy beautiful. It's one of the cleanest and most quiet hostel I've lived. But the light should be more bright,I think. Especially at night,It's not good to reading in the Room,I had to go to the living room. I'll still choose this hostel next time I go to BJ!!!

The hostel is really beautiful. You definitely feel like you are in a classy hotel. The area surrounding it is a bit touristy but filled with lots of good restaurants. I was there for Chinese New Year and they had a special dinner-- a bit overpriced but a nice way to get everyone together (especially because it was the first night I was there). The price could be a bit lower for dorm rooms, but overall, really enjoyed my time there.

Pro's = central location, affordable fees, very clean but good attitude to those that weren't, nice art & flowers, good dorm beds + reading light, helpful noticeboard inc tours, English spoken, airport pickup inc late at night for 200 Y, easy & quick book-in & confirm on good website, meals, rooftop, locker + key. Con's = small showers, no free brecky for dormers, meals a little pricey, beer far too expensive - small can cost 28 Y!, cheaper backpackers nearby, 8/10

Loved staying at the Peking International Hostel because it was my 1st time I ever stayed in a hostel, I'm a hotel person. The place was like you were staying at Better Homes And Gardens which I did notice they won award from Better Homes and Gardens China. , Fresh flowers everywhere, Clean toilets and showers loverly dinning room even though the price of the food was a bit steep. The staff were very good and helpful if you were touring and wanted derection. If u r going to Beijing try the PKIH

We arrived to the hotel (it's like 3 minutes walk from nanluoguoxiang station) and we enter and the environment it's so amazing. the staff spoke very well English and they help us a lot on how to arrived to the interesting places. Thanks to them we went by ourselves saving money to the Great Wall. We stayed in the Double room that it's veeery clean, just like in the picture. We had free breakfast at the Peking cafe that was very good and big that's it's a life savior for travelers . Totarecommen

Free nescafe would be excellent add . Your coffee prices in cafeteria were too high.

Holy smokes, this hostel is phenomenal! It is basically a boutique hotel with dorm rooms. In fact, if you were to stay in a private room with an ensuite bathroom, this place would rival a boutique hotel. It is crystal clean, the facilities are good and the showers rock. Staff are nice and the decor is unbelievable. Fresh flowers everyday, EVERYWHERE. Onsite cafe is ridiculously expensive, but there is great food less than 10m away. Great location!!! A little bit more expensive, but worth it!

awesome hostel, one of the best i've ever been! great location, beautiful interior and amazing and very helpful staff. Value for money. They have lovely cafe/restaurant, nice menu and yummy cappuccino coffee :))
