The staff was really helpful in answering questions. The room was decently cleaned daily and the showers had warm water. I would go back there. The staff was really helpful in answering questions. The room was decently cleaned daily and the showers had warm water. I would go back there. ...Close

I really liked this hostel and it is a great place to stay with kids (the west section has fish and birds that our daughter loved). However - DO NOT stay here in the winter - it was FREEZING. Even with the heater turned to as high as it can go we wore three layers as well as hats to bed. The heating is not efficient and combined with the super tall ceilings and drafty windows we were freezing the entire time.

I stayed in the East Yard which is probably nicer and more spacious than the main building but not as charming or social. Hostel is not very centrally located but is in an interesting Hutong area of Beijing. It's quite a walk to the Line 2 subway stop (at least 15 min) but is a bit closer (10min) to the new XinJieKou subway station. This is my second stay at the Red Lantern House, I'd definitely recommend it and stay there again.

Didn't notice the usual damp smell that is normal for hostels.
Very well laid out internally and in the courtyard. It was noticeable that you couldn't hear much of the busy road the hostel was on, even when sat in the courtyard.Didn't notice the usual damp smell that is normal for hostels.

Best hostel I stayed in so far. With the stairs in the four bed dorm it didn't atually feel like a dorm at all.
It would be nice if the lobby had more reading lights though.Best hostel I stayed in so far. With the stairs in the four bed dorm it didn't atually feel like a dorm at all.

An excellent place. I stayed in the West building which was which is not far from the main building. In a central location, only 2 train stops from most of the attractions. The staff were extremely helpful and you can organise most trips from here. Would stary there againAn excellent place. I stayed in the West building which was which is not far from the main building.
