About Wangfujing International Youth Hostel
It is better to check in after 12p.m.
Utels-Stayokay Youth Hostel Beijing is perfectly located in the centre of the flourishing Wanfujing shopping district, behind the Beijing Taiwan Hostel in the proximity of the Novotel Hotel. It's just a short walk to the Forbidden City and Beijing's Tiananmen Square is also only a few minutes away. From the Beijing Railway Station it's a 5 minute cab ride or a 15 minute walk.
Having opened in 2007, the hostel offers 47 spacious guest rooms with shared bathrooms. Each one of the hostel's guest rooms is equipped with comfortable beds and cozy sofas. In order to make the stay even more comfortable for our western guests, we have installed WESTERN toilets in our bathrooms! Wangfujing Youth Hostel is now unquestionably the premier hostel in Beijing for lower budget travelers and backpackers.
