This hostel was amazing. The hostel was charming, very clean and warm. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Lots of character, day trip and event booking, restaurant suggestions, and so much more. This hostel caters to many types of travelers, not only backpackers. Highly recommended!

I received a warm welcome both from the staff and the room! The hostel was a really peaceful retreat in the heart of old Beijing and really well located for various places of interest.

Fantastic place!! Staff were very friendly and hugely helpful. We would recommend it to all our friends and family as highly as it was recommended to us. The most comfortable dorm rooms I have ever experienced in a hostel! Really unique location in the old back alley streets of Beijing.

More than pleased with our stay at Sitting Walls. The staff was so friendly and helpful and met us at the door when we got in late due to a delayed flight. They got us train tickets, Great Wall tour, and acrobat show tix all quickly/reasonably priced. We were most pleased with the info packet we received on arrival which contained sample itineraries for site-seeing (including approx. times and specific transportation info) and reliable restaurants within walking distance (great food on site too)

Perfect place to stay in Beijing, even during the cold of winter the staff was warm and friendly as were the facilities. I stayed for more than a week and it began to feel like home to me. Tour suggestions were spot on, food menu is affordable and delicious. You get a great break down of all the locations and sights along with some extra tips from the staff at check in. Might be a little hard to find but the area has great history and character and is SAFE. e-key access, good wifi, book!
