Had a great time. Stayed in a double private room. The bathroom and shower were great, everything looked remodeled. Great water pressure; we always had hot water. The bed was soft and the maids came in and made it up daily. We also were provided with fresh towels everyday. Over all great experience. I would stay here again.

We were here for the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) and the staff really put in a great effort to get a celebration going in the hostel. Great night.

The only thing I have to complain about is that in the room there was not enough light neither in the toilette which was darker

We had a good stay. One of the staff members was unfriendly , the rest good. The taxi ride from the airport to the hostel was a total rip-off at RMB200 - when we got a cab back it only cost us RMB70. Amazing that one would want to do that to foreigners - and we are even living in China. Anyway. all in all a pleasant stay.

This hostel is chock-full of character so don't be fooled by the nondescript exterior. Staff were really helpful, always courteous and reliable. Our deluxe double ensuite room was fantastic! I also loved that they had food and drinks we could order - very convenient! Thank you to all the staff!

Out of all the hostels that I have ever stayed at this International Peking Hostel was the best yet! The staff was really friendly and helpful with getting tours set up, helping organize taxi rides, getting directions to anywhere, and the atmosphere was very comfortable. With the showers, I couldn't figure out how to keep the water hot but I also didn't inform the staff about it. At this hostel anything you need, they will gladly help you with. Excellent stay! Highly Recommended!

very nice place...staff are very helpful and can speak English...very close to a lot of nice places...was hesitant on a mix room sharing initially but since they get a copy of the passport of each guest i feel better..only not good when someone is snoring :-( very good for back packers but they have private room also if you are not into such adventure of room sharing :-) but overall it was very nice stay :-)

Attentive and helpful staff especially Cloris, Sigi, Dana and a guy. I sent an email to reconfirm my booking and to book a taxi to the hostel with them. It was pricey at Y200 but okay since my flight arrived at 1AM. Within two days everything was settled. Check in process was smooth. The 12 beds dorm-room was clean e.g. the bed cover, pillow and blanket. There was a cleaner that cleaned the bathroom every morning. The most important thing is the location is great!! Near Forbidden City, subway.

We've taken the deluxe double bed for a night. Stylish Chinese interior with lovely garden and cafe. Delicate housewares and decorations provide a cozy and friendly environment. Highly recommend to stay yet the only disappointed thing is no hot water provide in the morning

The Hostel Is very nice ! it gave you a home & warm feeling, Very colorful interior if you like green, this is the prefect place to stay. Even you didn't have Card Reader or Changer for your phone, Ask them , they will provide what you need. Excellent service. Just a bit expensive for the suit only !

I stayed three nights in this hostel and I was disappointed by the service. Despite a good common area, the hostel lacked many things to be friendly ... Not a good place for this hostel (too far from the subway station), work every morning at 7:30 am in the next room (breaking the wall with a seldgehammer). Good advice, forget this hostel in Beijing... Nicodossun

AS we stayed 7 nights... we can say that the cleanliness must be appropriate for a long stay. A real effort must be done in the bedroom and the bathroom. If that became better, I would say "all the stay was excellent'. AS I will send my friends... please do better! Lovely staff. Lovely stay!
