The place has perfect location and average staff. They sell a lot of stuffs at reception, so it is crowed most of the time, that is the why I did not feel safe enough. The big problem is that the room was really dirty, ever after the clean up it still disgusting dirty. It is a good value for money, but if you can deal with the dirty.

Price was not consistant with published rates when I changed from Twin Sharing to Single. The computors key board seems as though it has never been cleaned since the were bought. I found another hotel which is better located that provides all the necessities, clean environment and it's location is much better as I can travel to other sights with better ease and they were cheaper.

I did not like the noise outside the window, which was disturbing my sleep. And the washing facilites were not the cleanest. If you are up for sight seeing and fun it is a good place to stay.

I booked a single ensuite room but they didn't have my reservation when I arrived so I had to show them my hostelworld booking online. They gave me a room with a bunk bed - lower part desk, bed on top. It was very uncomfortable thin piece of worn out foam on board. It totally lacked character in the room, not a place you want to go back to after a long day out. There are two old & slow computers upstairs in the bar area (not free). Not recommended.

The place was ok. My room was clean, the bed comfortable. The bathroom would need renovation, but it was clean. As for the location, it was a bit far to the metro station (but still in a walking distance). There's the Fuzi temple, a big shopping mall and lots of small shops and stands with food/ souvenirs around.

The hostel was in a great location right next to the Confucius Temple and a lot of shops. The fourth floor had a nice hangout room with a restaurant, pool table, and free Wi-Fi. The restaurant had American and Chinese food, although the food wasn\'t outstanding and took a long time to make.

Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, especially those who work at the rooftop bar, only one hostel staff was actually quite rude as she never looked you in the eye when you asked for help or recommendation. And one thing they should definitely improve is their shower rooms & toilets. They are too small and not well maintained - they were dirty and smelly, It would have been stink badly if it wasn't for the cold weather! If location is not your priority, I believe there is better choice.

They have an excellent location and the directions that they have given were very clear so you'll easily find it. However room was not yet ready when we got there. They said they still needed to clean it up, but it didn't seem like they really took effort in cleaning the room.
